Theory Time!!!

Okay I want to put this out there because I feel like this MAY have possibly been proven in Episode 13...

I (along with one of my friends) have been trying to figure out the incident labeling system (there is in fact a spreadsheet) and I noticed a pattern that has led to a theory.

What if each statement that isn't read by Chester, Norris or Augustus is a new external being introduced? When we first meet Ink5oul, Needles, and Mr. Bonzo the incidents in those episodes are a video call, a 999 call, and a TV interview.

In this episode, it was a voicemail.

This would mean that after this episode we've met 4 different externals.

Guys what are the chances Tim is a kayaking instructor in this universe?

My totally-not-actually-a-theory-but-me-being-funny "theory" from Episode 18? (SPOILERS BELOW)

Celia keeps going back and forth because her name starts with a C which is SO CLOSE to a G (Like Gertrude, Gerry, and Georgie) but not quite so this universe keeps rejecting her.

The Magnus Protocol Episode 18 spoilery theory below the cut!

From a timeline standpoint, I wonder if this could be the work of ERROR?

Tape recorders at the scene? Fears coming through pretty clearly in my opinion? Very The Magnus Archives-esque.

It would make sense timeline-wise given that ERROR would have escaped from the Institute ruins back on March 9th (Episode 10) and the first victim would have been March 20th (Episode 18) followed quickly by March 22nd when Alice finds the victim in the alley (Episode 15).

Also, follow me down the rabbit hole for a minute, what if ERROR is the last archivist? It seems logical to me given the tape recorder at the scene Alice finds and these people seemingly unwillingly giving their statement even post death.

That's all I've got for now!

I love how opinions on s2 jon are either “he’s way too paranoid in s2 it’s almost hard to listen to” or “he’s so silly in s2 i love him he broke into gertrude’s flat and thought he was sneaky about it even after hearing sirens s2 jon is the best” no in between

Also interesting that episode 16 is what I would consider a "hybrid" one with Chester reading pieces but the main incident comes in the form of video. Spoilers and theory tie-in below!

Going back to my theory about unread incidents introducing new Externals, this one being a hybrid may feed into it.

Obviously, we've met Ink5oul two other times. The first time was an unread incident (side note: also a video which is interesting) and then in episode 11.

At first, I thought this episode was going to disprove my theory until I looked toward the end of the incident in the transcript. It says:

She struggles to breathe, an alarm starts beeping. There is the sound of tearing skin and a gurgled sound, as though something were tearing itself free of her flesh. The recoding ends.

I'm going to go out on a limb and argue that perhaps Ink5oul has created a new External through this incident somehow, thus why it's a hybrid. Which, if creating more Externals or something of the like is in fact something they can do, it makes them a HUGE threat and therefore possibly the "big bad" of this season.

[kidnapped-archivist]

I feel like given that we've seen Ink5oul three times now with each appearance becoming more and more concerning, there's a good chance they could be our "big bad" this season. External gone rouge perhaps?

[kidnapped-archivist]

Piggybacking off my theory from last week about externals and incidents...

If that's correct then we've seen an increase of externals each year since 2021... not sure the significance but just interesting...

[kidnapped-archivist]

I think this most recent episode confirms that Chester reads statements tied directly to the Magnus Institute. Not necessarily all of his statements are tied to it from what I can tell, but if it has to do with the Magnus Institute, Chester's reading it.

TMAGP Ep 13 Spoilers below!

It CANNOT POSSIBLY be a coincidence that Jack is just over a year old and the voices started reading the incidents aloud about a year ago. NO WAY it's a coincidence.

[kidnapped-archivist]

Can we talk about the OMINOUS BONZO MUSIC in the background of Gwen and Len's chat in this episode please

[lonelyslutavatar]

This is canon now.

[aspenwhispers]

You heard it here folks

[spiralling-spires]

I love when ficwriters portray michael distortion as like a weird eldritch cat. It fits his vibe so well. He says and does things that dont make sense and occasionally interacts with you or gives you things that you may or may not have wanted. Also sometimes threatens you. Weird eldritch cat.

I love the tma fandom turnaround on The Horrors. For about three weeks, everyone was like omg happy gerry! Look at him! Probably some repressed trauma but he seems to have gotten out! And then people got suspicious and now everyones like “he seems… too happy. Who’s controlling him” and honestly it’s kind of funny to watch
