Just hearing get voice again is heartwrenching

Rural Bibliophile

Whelp, they went for the big gun. Possibly literally if she's like the Archive version. Edit: called it about twenty seconds early.

Alan Gibbons

I love you guys so much. I just wanted to say thank you for all the excellent work you all do.

Isaac Amis

I wonder if Gerry's effect is not from positivity but from the pure absence of fear and negativity

schwa

so presumably this means there are indeed also powers of indigestion out there 👁️👄👁️

Brandon Barnes

Gwen has built quite the spectacular coffin for herself. I can’t wait to see the funeral service 😭😅

schwa

first time i heard him in protocol i genuinely burst into tears, in the vestibule of a west midlands railway service 🫶

Isaac Amis

I legit had to fight of tears while sitting on the bus especially when they called him Gerry

HeavenlyBibi

I KNEW WE’D GET A G&G APPEARANCE AGAIN I FUCKING KNEW IT

James Rule

Gertrude: awesome across all universes. ....no...no...no... don't starve the fear monsters ... Oh this is going to go so bad...

DJ Badillo

Omg I just made a similar comment on Reddit!!! Very ironic that Archiverse Gerry was disproved on that front by his own Protoverse counterpart 😆

Rural Bibliophile

I mean, Georgie showed what having no fear could do in the original. This looks like a similar idea from the different cosmology in play.

Pennywise

I wonder if Gertrude is a baddass in all universes?

Pennywise

I do wonder though if there will be a caveat to Jerry's abilities. Bit odd for a positive external/power in a horror podcast.

schwa

i think i’d be an avatar of mozzarella sticks

maxwell

REVOLUTIONARY

Banana

Gertrude continues to be the most terrifying person ever. Gerry is adorable ❤️❤️❤️

Blue Rhythm

Gwen, you got a big storm comin'.

MrMaster I think

it’s just me and my friend Weaponised Happiness against the whole world

Lod bing

Well mister bonzo will be coming to play with OIAR So im betting Jerry is an opposite to dread. Since balance is key to alchemy im betting each one has an opposite but those opposites are just as terrifying.

Gabe Neil

I can't imagine anyone except Pragmatic Sociopath Gertrude Robinson could survive living with Positivity Gerry for long.

CJ Briggs

Aaaaand I am officially caught up. Good to hear Gerry and Gertrude again! Also, Gwen, what the hell, you idiot. This isn't gonna go well...

Valerie Kaplan

I correctly guessed the very broad sense of what this episode would be about just from the case number! (Categories 1, 2, AND 3, and ranks A, B, AND C was intriguing and suggested something overarching and plot-relevant, and late December 1999… well.)

Dyo

I’m so emotional over Gerry being an unnatural force of positivity… Gertrude raising him… 🥺🥺🥺

Kristsune

Ooohh what a delightful episode!! Gertrude with a gun!!! Her and Gerry ;-; Fantastic lore dump AND Nigel back for a visit. Not to mention the always incredible editing and music 🥰Sooo excited fo whats next!!!

dr. penny pepper 🥀

can we talk about the metaphorical and alchemical state of the world right now...

Dyo

Also we all agree that the Magnus Institute in the tmagp is 1000 times more evil that the original TMA canon right? Because Jesus Christ

June Gierada

Just so you know, it looks like this episode wasn't released for kickstarter backers

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

Tbf we don't know what else Elias had happening behind the scenes. We know the Institute is big and has many departments, but we only really explore the archives.

Dyo

True!

MarlaBothBothIsGood

THAT'S MY GERTRUUUUDE GERRY :3 and Gwen, hon, you are girlfailing SO HARD, I love her for it

Malt!

Sue Sims is honestly a top tier performer. Absolutely incredible. Wish we had a whole series from her.

Rural Bibliophile

I mean, he's nice but also exerting straight up mind control indiscriminately. From one angle he looks like Killgrave from Jessica Jones.

Bruna G

Yeah, dude can never have a genuine interaction with anyone ever

Libby Sparks

I mean, I’m not sure they’d be terrifying considering what a delight Gerry is. We shall see. (EDIT: ok, I actually get what you were going for now I think? Like that Gerry’s inability to be anything other than happy and make people feel the same is scary because it means that other people will be unnaturally happy when doing terrible things or watching terrible things unfold which is scary - but the fact that Gertrude didn’t shoot them with a smile on her face but instead said she’d lost the stomach for it tells me that maybe the other forces would be like that too…. But I’ll be interested to see what the other ones could look like

Libby Sparks

I absolutely love the choice to have the literal character who said the sarcastic line about there being no powers of “love or indigestion” be an avatar of positivity in this universe. Genuinely probably the funniest character to do it to… other than Gertrude. That would have probably been funnier. Ohhh lobotomized Gerry how I love you

Libby Sparks

Lack of self-preservation and the ability to make people feel unnatural happiness no matter the consequences seems like a good enough caveat to me, as we see with Gertrude talking about smiling while the institute burned

Lod bing

Well im pretty sure the plant one is hmmmm What she would fans call these new entities? Im gonna go with the hopes. Anyways im pretty sure one of the hopes is change represented by plants. Like that one doctor who became a plant. He seemed pretty happy becoming a plant The baby might also be another hope since the mother didn't seem all that scared. Im not sure on that one tbh. But I think the plant one is a solid bet.

Goodish Cow Czyk

It has bothered me, so bad, to the point of almost disliking Celia and even considering giving up on the series, because I didn’t understand what I missed, and I felt so lost, as to why Gerry, Sam, but mostly Celia, were so cheerful and acted like they all knew eachother, when they first went to Gertrude’s. I feel SO vindicated!!!!

Mulloy

Fully loving the idea of catalyzed individuals. Wild to think they're made intentionally as well as a thing that "sometimes occurs". Also gertrude is awesome.

Libby Sparks

I think the situation with the baby has pain, wrongness and helplessness, personally. The mom admitted she was scared and knew something was wrong but she also had been gaslit into believing this was her real child and that everything was normal. And with the plant case, I think I recall that it was painful which is one of the DPHW classifications, and maybe you could argue wrongness? But I get what you mean that he wasn’t afraid of it. It’s definitely possible.

Pippa

Oh.. oh no... what do you bet Welling is the same W from two episodes ago...

ShepAvontess

I know I'm not meant to really understand yet but I am so very confused by Gwen's actions and attitude here. She's seen the externals, heard what they are capable of and came super close to being a victim of one. How can she be so sure that taking away their food supply won't cause blow back? Her actions makes no sense to me.

Amari Vega

Mr. B was the first external she met. I'm assuming she's reacting this way because later, Fr3-d1 showed her a case that she essentially caused USING Mr. B. Now I won't insist it's guilt, but she's understandably freaked out. She digs in her heels and takes harder stances when absolutely panicked.

Gareth Green

So, Protoverse Institute was using alchemy ON fear monsters? Or are the forces more than just Fears?

Nova

So was Sam too depressed for the experiments as a kid

Gareth Green

Sooo… did this universe always have Fears, or not? Of course, this Institute was studying the Archivist, rather than employing it, so a different alignment.

Not!Jon

I love the polycule protocol featuring Gerry Keay and Gertrude Robinson who cook actual happiness in a kettle.

Pia K R

she said she would make sure people didn't take interest in the institute ruins online... OH MY GOD GERTRUDE PROBABLY WROTE THAT CREEPY SHIT ABOUT REDCANARY!!!

World’s Largest Ball of String

whoaaa i hadn’t even connected this dot, like maybe he was supposed to be catalyzed and that’s why he was at the institute as a kid :o

Nova

Yeah I think they needed kids with a certain temperament to do experiments on

TacticalATKGoose

love that gertrude is still a mean old bitch(affectionate) in this universe as well

Apofisu

This is hilarious!

Rurrie

was making Gerry a being of pure positivity an apology for his treatment in Magnus Archives? XD

Emma Grace

"I'll get over it" I ALMOST CACKLED AT WORK
