Day three! I think I owe this episode my entire love of TMA, i remember listening to it and being so invested, and now here we are. Thanks Graham.

I have nothing but deep respect for Oliver Banks fans for creating the greatest ship names of all times. Terminal velocity? Deathnote? they’re slaying so hard

i hope they explain what the fuck needles is on about and dont just graham folger this entire paragraph

like i know we'll get the lore, but also i need to know why on earth was the guy ranting about the residents of that area

cannot stand another 'ate a whole book without any apparent reason'

We shouldn't have gotten over Graham Folger and Amy Patel so quickly guys like creepy ass neighbour who's gay so slightly less creepy and you start watching him and suddenly he gets replaced by someone who has his name but isn't him and you just gotta fucking live with that??? oh also he ate a bunch of his notebooks. what.

if Oliver's ex boyfriend Graham IS our Graham Folger, then did he see his death? and if not, did he sense his death in some other way?

and if not, are the victims of the notThem Really Dead? given Jon's description of the Endless Suffering the notThem put Sasha through, it sounds like there's more to it than instant death.

many such questions

Oliver harem when

It's so interesting how Graham (Oliver's EX from "Across The Street.") has all the markings of a death avatar with his "My parents died and now I drift around life, with nothing but money as company," backstory. Especially because he was a part of Oliver's life. I wonder if he ever circled around death avatarism and just didn't embrace it,

And with that said, I wonder if Oliver was around for Graham getting his table and was walking closer to The Stranger than he was ever aware of.

Also, since I'm talking about this, I headcanon that Graham getting the table was one of the things that caused the end of their relationship. They had a lot underlining issues, so it wasn't all the tables fault. However, once Graham got it he started getting more paranoid.

He was jumpy, and quick to anger, and started interrogating Oliver about what he was doing while he was out and who he was doing it with. (From Graham's perspective he knew something was wrong and was trying to figure out who/what was the cause. From Oliver's perspective, his boyfriend got very controlling overnight.) He started accusing Oliver of "random" things like watching him or moving things around in the apartment, and at this point Oliver tried to get him help, but Graham refused at every turn. (Because how do you explain to a therapist that you're being stalked by....something that doesn't seem human.)

All this lead to a breakup and Oliver's eventually mental breakdown. The fears have been affecting his life a lot longer than he's even aware of. At least in my mind where I have an intricate backstory for every TMA character.
