i started making a tma spreadsheet at the end of january 2025 and then i missed a bunch of stuff and had to re do so much of it

BUT i have a quarter left (not including season 5 bc i havent figured out what to do for that) and i may actually be able to finish it?

green are the ones i've done red is still working on that episode

[thearxhiver]

me i am making one !! i'd be so helpful in the archives i swear

but seriously this isn't even the whole thing i can't zoom out any further i'm not finished and i have more columns i want to add

[thearxhiver]

convinced if i was head archivist i could survive all of tma i'd just want to organise everything wouldn't even get round to recording stuff everything needs to be perfectly filed first

the thing is that pomegranates and blood and cannibalism and Fucked Up Deer are literally cool. like they're genuinely just sick as fuck and you simply cannot deny it without looking like a try-hard contrarian. they rule. sorry for thinking deep scarlet is an awesome color for things to be... as if it's my fault...

[annabelle--cane]

this is so good and great. an excellent fruit on all fronts. chef's kiss.

[annabelle--cane]

"blood imagery is trite and overdone" we literally all have blood. what happened to "write what you know"?

[thearxhiver]

OMG HORROR PODCASTS!!!! have you listened to ch&t? :P

i have two episodes left !! i'll have finished by the end of the week probably (i love rowan so much the episodes where he got to do a monologue thing are my favourites)

[embristheepic]

OH MY GOD THE CAVE EPISODES. EVERY PART OF THEM. FLAWLESS. The sound mixing was amazing as well in those, thats not talked about enough lol

[thearxhiver]

AND THE BIT WITH JUNIPER AT THE END OF EPISODE 64 OH MY GODDDD i almost cried

[embristheepic]

OMG THEY’RE SUCH UNDERRATED EPISODES

[thearxhiver]

REALLY?? THEY'RE LIKE TOTALLY MY FAVOURITES i mean im not in the fandom at all as i spoiled a bunch of tma and malevolent for myself and i have learnt from my mistakes BUT LIKE WHAT??? PLEASE TELL ME ROWAN IS A FAN FAVOURITE?

[embristheepic]

Honestly, there’s no such thing as fan favourites, everyone has about 16 rp accounts dedicated to them. Lmao.

[thearxhiver]

do you think that the fear of hurting other people due to powers outside of your control is more slaughter or web? (been trying to figure out what fear my first dnd character would be an avatar of)

ok

1. sorry for the late reply its a really bad habit of mine

2. hm. It depends what those powers are, but I'd say it's more the web. In slaughter statements, the fear of hurting other people isn't actually as common as you'd think, or more specifically the fear of not wanting to hurt others but still doing so. The slaughter is very much dependent on the idea of violence caused by human nature and the things humans will do. People who are affected by it have their entire minds changed so they Want to hurt others. Whereas if it is something where you do not want to hurt others but are forced to anyway, you fear the lack if control more than your own potential to bring about pain.

tdlr: if you dont want to hurt people but you're forced to, its more web. if you hurt people because powers outside of your control have forced you to Want to hurt others, such as kind control, its more the slaughter.

Thats my opinion at least. Again, sorry this took so long

[thearxhiver]

okay yes yes i think they can be web, there were also a lot of spiders in the campaign

that's all my characters assigned then! the rest were made after i listened to tma and were all kinda based on different fears (stranger, spiral and corruption)

The way I always spoil myself whenever I’m reading, listening, or watching something needs to be studied. I’m listening to TMA and while I have listened to it before I never got past ep 80.

1. I looked at the tag on here. Stupid of me, I know. Love the fanart tho!!

2. Looked at the tag on AO3 :| super stupid of me, I know.

While I do know the majority of the spoilers already, I do not know how we got there. That’s what I try to avoid the most. Unfortunately, now I know Elias is Jonah Magnus. Curse you AO3 for being so enticing!
