Intro!! (Except I still don’t know the mechanics)

Hi! You guys can call me Fable :) I’m 18 and use any pronouns.

I’m an absolute wreck of a person but you know I hope I’m entertaining

I JUST FINISHED THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS

And I noticed this…pattern, I guess? I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a theory, but here it is:

Each player exemplifies a trait of autism/neurodivergence

(I initially said just autism but I’m including neurodivergence as a whole)

LET ME EXPLAIN

- Pomni: undiagnosed and anxious, she’s really freaking out about this whole thing (plus there are a few instances of rhetorical questions/sarcasm flying right over her head)

- Ragatha: people pleasing and masking (in the way of trying to appear normal/helpful to everyone)

- Gangle: poor emotional regulation and a more LITERAL masking (in the way of trying to hide the negative emotions)

- Jax: disregard of social cues and categorization (he is MEAN and claims to get away with it because he’s “the funny one,” disregarding everyone’s reactions and forcing people away)

- Kinger: missing social cues and special interests (forgetfulness and disconnected thinking as well as his interest in bugs to the point of connecting everything to it) (I’d also like to add that the pillow fort/darkness seems to be his comfort zone and that’s when he exemplifies his strengths the most)

- Zooble: seemingly complete apathy (they’re very blunt and have a very “fuck all” attitude, but I put SEEMINGLY because you do see the moments where they warm up to people they care about, i.e. Gangle)

Maybe this is an obvious thing (or a very stupid thing, I’ve got no idea), but I started picking up the hints within the first episode and my theory just grew from there

!!SPOILERS FOR THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES AND THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL!!

Okay so I just reached 130 (Meat), and I always like looking at the episode descriptions.

I notice that this statement is taken direct from subject—Lucia Wright.

The voice actor for Lucia Wright is Beth Eyre.

And you wanna know who voices the Protocol archivist?

BETH EYRE.

We already know that repeating voice actors between the series end up being important so now I’m convinced that the Archivist of Protocol is that universe’s Lucia Wright, the one who survived the failed Flesh ritual.

That is all, folks.

!!SPOILERS FOR THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES AND THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL!!

I’m doing my first relisten of The Magnus Archives, and toward the end of episode 95, Basira mentions reading a book.

What book, you may be asking?

Intro to Alchemy.

AKA one of the biggest factors in The Magnus Protocol.

Maybe other people have noticed this and I just haven’t seen anything about it myself but talk about FORESHADOWING.

Celebrating Mother’s Day as someone who has a complex relationship with their mom is weird.

You demand that I tell you *in detail* about how grateful I am for everything you’ve done, but all I can remember is each hurtful word and each tear shed on your behalf. You think you’re going above and beyond by hardly meeting the bare minimum and expect superfluous amounts of gratitude for it. Why should I be grateful when all I’ve wanted to do is leave?

Dad tells me “Write her a card, a nice and honest card about everything you’re grateful about that she’s done for you.” But do you want nice or honest? Because I simply cannot provide both.

I love you, and I never want to speak to you again. You say you’re proud of me for all I’ve done, but then turn around and tell me about how cruel I am to you. You say you are blessed to have me in your life and then become the victim of my existence, when I am the child and you are the parent.

I should not be the bigger parent at 17 than you are at 50.

Every Mother’s Day is a stab in the chest reminding me that although I do have a mother, the biological woman who brought me into this life, I don’t have a mom.

That moment when you’re just existing and suddenly get a psychic blast

It’s so funny to me when people tell me my FND is a psychological condition.

Like, FND stands for functional NEUROLOGICAL disorder. Not functional psychological disorder.

Also, if it is a psychological condition, why can’t I move my legs? Why does my oxygen go down during my seizures, and why the hell am I a full time wheelchair user??? Make it make sense.

[awrittenfable]

People when a condition with neurological in the name is, in fact, neurological: 😨😨

shocker, it’s night time and I’m thinking about insomnia.

a little bit of background here: I’ve had insomnia my whole life. all the women in my family have had it, too—it’s definitely a genetic thing, though we don’t know the exact cause. this means that I’ve been trying sleep med after sleep med to try sleeping, to the point that I’m now on two adult-level meds and I still struggle.

but what I’m thinking about is how different some people’s perception of insomnia is. for some, it’s “I stayed up late doing something fun” or “I struggle sleeping on my own but if I take a melatonin I’m fine.”

my insomnia is not that. my insomnia is what leaves you tossing and turning at night, even if you have no thoughts and nothing in your system to keep you awake, you just DO. and this has been my whole life.

I don’t know how to explain it to people, though, because when I tell most people I have insomnia, they think it means I stay up late doing fun things and that I’m having a great time.

This insomnia is awful, a battle in the night too quiet to be spoken of.
