Gerry sounded so happy i didn’t recognize his voice at first 🥺 so of course I had to draw him

“I always wanted my friends to call me Gerry”

GERRY KEAY, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE 😭😭

TMAGP 8 SPOILERS

If the protocol universe has Gertrude, Gerry, and Georgie, that probably means that the archives universe had Sam, Alice, Gwen, and the rest of the OIAR. Meaning they were probably trapped in a fear domain and suffered horribly. You're welcome.

I think this is a really good take, and maybe the reason that gerry wasn't there for long is that gertrude was involved in the program and knew what they were doing and she kinda pulled gerry out of it before anything was done to him or something like that

I wanna get these TMAGP 8 thoughts written down before the public drops so here's your spoiler warning!

SPOILERS AHEAD

So this "Gifted Kids Program" that the Magnus Institute had is very intriguing. I'm going to throw a thought out there that's kind of a gut feeling, with only OTHER gut feelings to back it up

What if they were trying to make Avatars? I can't help but feel HEAVY Stranger vibes coming from Gerry Keay in this episode. Something was so off about him, and I don't think it's just because he was a much more normal person (apparently, at least) than in TMA. And Sam certainly has tendencies that lean towards The Eye.

I've been trying really REALLY hard not to drag The Fears into this, but this was my gut feeling and I wanted to share. Maybe the new entities (if there are some) parallel The Stranger and The Eye which is why I'm getting those vibes from Gerry and Sam, respectively.

TMAGP 8: A Summary

?????

This has become... relevant.

TMAGP's liminal spaces so far (EP 7 spoilers):

1. The Graveyard, the Magnus Institute

2. In5oul's studio

3. The Garden

4. N/A? Perhaps where the protagonist met the merchant

5. The Theater

6. N/A? Does an alley count? Does a call station count?

7. Hill Top

I'm calling them liminal bc they're described only at certain times of day (middle of the night for the graveyard) or in terms that make their entrances and exits, as well as the passage of time within them, unclear (like the tattoo studio and the garden). The theater preserved from childhood memories, yet staffed with only one employee, the Magnus Institute where doors are all open while it lies abandoned, etc., feel solidly liminal to me.

Hill Top is mainly there because of, y'know, but I do think the events of 7 make it a space with unclear limits and volume. It would be ironic if it has nothing to do with Hill Top Road.

I feel like the OIAR office is liminal (between sunset and sunrise, for one thing). The sheer vibes off that place!
