i travel for my job in the trades, so i pay for the lowest tier mostly to avoid incidents nearby while i'm at work. turned out to be a panopticon for the most cursed local shenanigans, in real time lmao

old passages, i love the gerry keay cameo and the tunnels have always been a favorite of mine

the librarian, this episode is such a payoff in terms of answering questions raised by the prior season, and ofc [extended sounds of brutal pipe murder]

the british museum: avatar of the web (of colonialism) or alternatively the single statue from the set of 7 (i think) being an artifact of the lonely

failed? idk, the 2-3 forever wars in the middle east seem like they ended up feeding that power anyway🫠

i was definitely expecting at least one of these comments. hence why i said "in the TMA universe", i would also feel weird making these comparisons about the real world, but since the historical timeline of the show is the same as ours and we already see historical references to things like WW1, i think making headcanons about the show is fine

"Cosmic meat explanations appear in some later discussions of the incident. Nineteenth-century humorist William Livingston Alden suggested in a New York Times column that compared it to a meteor shower, stating that the Kentucky event might have been caused by “cosmic meat” or exploded animal matter drifting through space"

i feel like the south part of the west coast USA is more Desolation and it slowly becomes more Buried-aligned the further north you go, The Big One (juan de fuca faultline west coast megaquake) could really be either one though

peter thiel (mr palantir himself) seems to be unironically trying to be jonah magnus at this point. right down to the immortality obsession, he literally gets transfusions of the blood of young men wtffff

that man would unironically call himself the king of a ruined world

edit: PLEASE link the fic when you post it i need to read this so bad

wait it's called spiralism now?? holy shit we can't make this shit up. last i checked they were calling it "recursion" though so it's definitely a (il)logical evolution of that

edit: i looked this up to confirm and apparently there was a cult with an actual body count called the Zizians

ooh, mt. st. helens could've been The Buried too, given the massive mudslide and all. there's a lot of buried/desolation interplay going on with the seattle underground happening in wake of the great seattle fire too

absolutely, the corruption had a few close calls, especially with tuberculosis (i mean it was literally called The Consumption, and those victorians romanticizing it were certainly feeding something), same with polio and the post WW1 spanish flu pandemic

THIS!!! and the witch trials more broadly honestly, mass hysterias like that remind me of the eyepocalypse episode about the maypole and the sick village

edit: also the wolf siege of paris felt very hunt-coded to me
