Something heartbreaking I missed the first time around: Gerry saying he tried to “abandon” his mother. He was well into his 20’s when he tried to leave her, long past when most young people leave home. She was a fit, sharp woman in her early 60’s with her own business. She wasn’t physically, mentally, or economically dependent on her son. But she still had him convinced that moving out on his own, like every other 20-something, was abandonment. And she did her job so well that years later, with plenty of time away from her to heal, Gerry is still ashamed and still thinks of it as abandonment.

I think there are two more entities. Everything comes in opposing pairs: The Stranger and The Watcher The Spiral and The Dark The Meat and The Rot The Hunt and The Web The End and The Ashes The Narrowing and The Vast But The Alone is not opposite The Slaughter. Also, these opposing pairs come in linked pairs. Both "being watched by an unknown" and "not knowing another" are related to both "seeing things that are false" and "not seeing things" Both "being chased down" and "being tricked into walking to your own doom" are connected to both "I will be eaten" and "my remains will rot" Both "I will die" and "I will suffer" are linked to "violence is done to us all" Both "I am trapped in a small space" and "this space is too big" are connected to "I am alone" I propose additional entities currently insufficiently powerful to act: The Hate: The fear that you are personally being targeted, that your suffering and death are happening because someone holds malice for you *personally*. Seen prominently in paranoid schizophrenics. It opposes The Slaughter which is indifferent to your pains and connects obviously with death and suffering. The Crowd: You are utterly replaceable. There are a billion more just like you and if you didn't exist, it would not matter. This one is probably just starting to rev up due to the internet. It opposes The Lonely and connects with both The Vastness of the word holding so many people and The Narrowing of the space around you as more and more people press in.

For a given value of the word "quick"...

I have a bit of a theory as to why only the fears stick around long enough to act on the world: First off, they are sustainable. Per example, the fear of death can stick with a person for a lifetime, while the joy of, say, finding love can become a fleeting thing more easily. Fear lingers, and can feed for a long time. Second, the fears themselves are close enough to joys and comforts, that they may occupy the same "space" and prevent a separate entity from forming. The dark is threatening, but it can also be calming after a long, hard day. Being buried alive is terrifying, but rolling up in a thick blanket on a cold evening is delightful. Bottom line, I don't think there is enough distinction between the delights and the fears for there to be "need" for separate entities. Plus, it's free PR for the Fears...

@margaridabento9726

4 жыл бұрын

I don't necessarily think that's it. Most people feel varying degrees and kinds of love and joy and hope throughout life. Not everybody is scared of the dark, or of heights, etc. I don't think it's a matter of consistency so much as intensity: the fears are a manifestation of fear taken to an extreme; that nagging thing we all have to live with turned up so high it manifests into monsters and phenomena. No feeling can be dialed up to eleven without becoming detrimental - and, in the case of positive feelings, contradicting itself. Love becomes obsession, joy becomes mania, hope becomes delusion. Additionally, fear is universal, instinctual. Even fish and insects feel an inkling of it, a reflex to get away from danger. In the end, when one is taken to the end of their rope, fear always wins, because love and joy don't guarantee survival of the species, self preservation does.

AND HAVING THE FEARS EXPLAINED WAS SUPER GREAT TOO. A LOT MAKES SENSE

Knew I liked him before, especially when we hear that the one time Leitner went outside, Gerry found him IMMEDIATELY and fucking curbstomped him without hesitation But this? Oof, relistening doesn't make it easier We stan a Goth King

"Oh I don't know" *_"WHAT?!!"_*

Theres a lot of tragic characters in this series but for me probably the most heartbreaking is Gerad. Hearing his story and his final wish for somebody, a friend to call him Gerry and Jon agreeing to that request; my heart needs a minute to recover you guys

"I always wanted my friends to call me Gerry" I AM ABOUT TO SOB

“Like colors, but if colors hated me.”

So, here are my notes on the powers based on this episode if anyone else needs them (SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE) The 14 Powers: 1. The Eye - Fear of being watched, followed, having your deepest fears exposed, needing to know, being used to be observed 2. The Spiral - Fear of madness, that your world isn’t right, that your mind is lying to you 3. The End - Fear of death 4. The Stranger - Fear of the unknown, the uncanny, that creeping sense that something’s not right 5. The Lonely - Fear of being alone, not being able to connect, isolation 6. The Desolation - Fear of pain, loss, unthinking or cruel destruction, burning 7. The Slaughter - Fear of violence, unpredictable, war 8. The Vast - Fear of falling, vertigo, agoraphobia, acraphobia, deep water, insignificance 9. The Buried - Fear of tight spaces, claustrophobia, small spaces, crushing, can’t breathe, not enough space 10. The Dark - Fear of the dark and what might be in it 11. The Corruption - Fear of the disgusting, rot, decay, infection, trypophobia 12. The Web - Fear of spiders, loss of control, your will not being your own, being manipulated or puppeteered, being caught in an invisible trap 13. The Flesh - Fear of being eaten, gore, vore, of being nothing but meat 14. The Hunt - Fear of being hunted, prey

@@chiaramangold7758 I think the Flesh is mostly summed up in the fear that we are just meat,like that all that we are are just...objects to be eaten,morphed or reformed like any other. It's not the only fear that does body-horror, but The Flesh tends to focus on it more due to that aspect. Fear of being just the flesh that we are and can't ascend from maybe?

Gerard, you'll be missed. rip.

'except for the vampires' I cracked up

Gerard: lists the fears' names Everyone who is relistening and didn't want to spoil new listeners: fucking finally, we can call them out by name

IVE ONLY HAD GERARD FOR ONE EPISODE BUT IF ANYTHING- oh wait GODFUCKING DAMMIT

I legit had to sit down at the "you think people are so special that it's only our fear that counts?" That was... a thought for the day. Ouch. Also, I am now sad about our Gerry. That one hurt, a lot.

31:20 'i guess some people have a weird relationship with fear' Literally everyone here 🤣🤣🤣

"I always wanted my friends to call me Gerry." I am not okay

So the Lukases are avatars of The Lonely while the Fairchilds are of The Vast. Explains why Jude Perry said Mike Crew "hangs out" with thr Fairchilds since he appears on some episodes regarding The Vast

I legit cried at this, I really liked Gerard’s character a lot

why'd you have to put it in my head

Gerry, I love you, you've made more fucking progress in explaining these entities in 20 minutes than in a hundred episodes.

“call me gerry, I always wanted my friends to call me that” OWWWWWW MY HEART

"like colors but they hate me" my favorite quote of the series

I wish there were some way to bring Gerry to a point where he can exist without the pain of being dead and still around. If only there were a way he could live without the pain. Being trapped might not be so bad if it were with the right people, but I just can't wrap my head around being in so much pain

Jon made a friend :') I wish he could stay on friendly terms with Julia and Trevor too, but what with the book burning it's pretty inevitable they turn on him. I just want Jon to have friendly conversations on the regular. Also I love the sound effect they used for Gerard, it's really neat to hear it in the background as he talks. So sad he's not sticking around, but it'd be a huge violation of trust for Jon to keep him.

6:43 is the best part of this episode

Flustered ragey Jon is an adorable Jon.

I haven't heard so many sighs in a single half-hour period since....well, the last episode with Johnny in it. 😀 Great episode though!

Wait, Gerry's dad worked in the Archives? How was he able to quit?

Because of what happened to her, she physically can’t feel it anymore. It’s impossible for her. Idk how else to explain it, sry

The slaughter The dark The buried The vast The spiral The eye The end The stranger The lonely The desolation The corruption The web The flesh The hunt

Ok idk if someone already said that but doesn't that basically mean we, the viewers/listeners, are the eye/are responsible for the eye existing?

Yeah I thought about that some time ago too! I mean, the fact that the tapes turn themselves on by themselves, and we listening through them, and the Eye seem to be related to the tapes (or something), so yeah, why not? And while it's a good and plausible explanation (also kind of badass of us if we're honest), I've always felt like we were more... like Jonh, actually. Like we want to know too. We're trapped in our thirst for knowledge and in our own curiosity as much as the Archivist team is. We keep coming back to listen for more, we learn more, about the lore, the entities, and now knowing the truth of what is really happening, do we want to leave it be and not know what happens next? I know I don't

"I'm not their bloody Monster Manual." I mean, given Trevor's age, I think he'd consider Gerry a "Fiend Folio" XD

This is my favorite episode. Ever. I'm just too emotional to write anything comprehensive, so, yeah. Gosh, I love Gerry and Jon so much :,)

Jons excessive sighing while Gerard is explaining colours is hilarious lol

This story about monsters is so human.

That was some really well made exposition. Poor Gerry. Also the "Family Business" - the Winchesters anyone?
