Okay first ever public TMP theory right...
So, many have already pointed out the difference between "an" Archivist and "THE" Archivist. In TMA, Jon was always THE Archivist. Yet, we've heard both so far in TMP.
In the finale of TMA, *both* major living avatars of the Eye were killed in the same place, and presumably that place was also the "super center" for the sending of the fears to the TMP universe, with all the explosions and such.
What I'm saying is: what if the Eye managed to become it's own avatar (who we now know as ERROR), thanks for the manifestation of both Jonah and Jon's power of the fear?
And what if all the humanity that's left of both (along with Martin since he was also at the super center) is what was put into FR3-D1?
Also... I don't think we've talked about how Celia got into this universe. Predictably, she was yeeted at the same time as the other three. But why only her? It also brings up the question of how long she's been in the TMP universe... did she have Jack AFTER she was teleported? Or did she come here having already had Jack, find herself that was supposed to be in this universe... and replace her?
TMAGP EP 31 SPOILERS!!!!
".jmj error" YALL I FUCKING CALLED IT LFGGG
I also wanna point out that at the beginning of the error/Colin eatery bit, when FR3-D1 starts reading out the log, he says "jmj = null"... Does that mean that none of the three were able to DO anything? Do you think that means they just had to sit back and watch? And then JON HAD TO READ IT!!! Which is insane work and now I feel like the boys are just being low key tortured in FR3-D1 while trying to escape.
AND! The fact that FR3-D1 kept Colin's "sulphur" - and as many know/have pointed out, this series is based on alchemy (not the Fears) - that means Colins soul was uploaded into FR3-D1's data (in alchemy, sulphur = the soul). I personally feel that just helps my theory that they (JMJ) were absorbed, but specifically their souls. Or... maybe it was their spirits (Mercury, another basis of alchemy)? What if FR3-D1 is trying to get all three base elements to try and become more powerful?
I honestly feel more certain in my orignal theory than ever, even if its slightly tweaked. The Archivist isn't from the physical TMAGP universe, which is why it can still function as a Fear, albiet starving (as seen by "The Archivist has arrived. ... Hungry. ...") even though it had just taken a statement from the construction worker before falling through the tear. That's why if felt "sated" after taking the statement when put back in its own universe, since it was meant to be there, and its powers are more acute.
There's more floating around my brain, but I can't quite articulate it yet, and definitely can't back it up with my (very) limited alchemy knowledge. I'm so interested in where this is going, though, and its connections/parallels with the TMA universe, and all that Alex's alchemy bible has in store for us!!!!!!
