...what is the "sex is just rock climbing" category

It was kind of a joke between me and a friend ("you wouldn't judge someone for having gone rock climbing with a bunch of different people") but honestly the more I thought about it the more I bought into it unironically because:

  • It is a physical activity done with one or more partners
  • You should only go rock climbing with people you trust not to let you fall
  • You should not go rock climbing with someone who is drunk or currently incapable of rational decision-making
  • Some people get super super super into rock climbing and do not shut up about all the places they have climbed and how many are left on their bucket list and these people are usually men between the ages of 20 and 35 and like it's fine dude I'm glad you're happy but I don't know what most of those mountains even are
  • While many consider it a fun activity, pressuring someone into climbing when they don't want to (or ignoring their feelings and just dangling them off a cliff,) could cause both psychological and physical trauma
  • There is no moral value to it whatsoever. Who you have gone rock climbing with (or whether you have rock climbed at all) has no bearing on who you are as a person. Imagine telling someone "it's not that heights make you nauseous, it's just that you haven't found the right person to belay you!" or "you need to save your first time rock climbing for someone special." That would be absurd.
  • historically I have not asked myself "will this aggravate my hip flexer injury" before participating when perhaps I should have 😔

anyway we dont talk enough about jon baa-ing like a sheep in mag125. cause he was literally just sitting in his office recording a statement and he baa’d exactly like a sheep. and he sounded REAL AS HELL. archivist voice powers must make you insane at making farm animal sounds for like teaching babies like you just know he would tear it up at daycare. this is all right in the middle of everyone thinking he’s turned into an evil monster too but my god did the man commit.

okay one thing that has WILD implications in this episode is that we the audience hear bagpipes during the statement. this isnt season 5 where we’re just hearing domain sounds, jon is literally still just in his office. sometimes in tma we hear sounds as part of the soundscape that arent actually there in story but it is usually extremely subtle as to be almost unnoticeable if you’re not listening with good headphones, but the bagpipes come through so clear. i can think of two in-story explanations:

  1. jon knew what the statement was gonna be about and queued up some bagpipe music to play from his phone/laptop while he was reading, knowing it would be picked up by his tape recorder
  2. jon’s archivist powers are now so strong that sometimes we (and anyone in-story listening to his recordings i guess) simply hear shit from the events he’s reading aloud even if we shouldnt be able to

may i present a third option: melanie was blasting bagpipe music as a form of rebellion whenever she was in the archives and that’s just what we’re hearing

yknow actually considering she was still being poisoned by the slaughter bullet i could absolutely get into that

Congratulations! You Have Made It To The Ping Pong Chamber!

Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"

Who the fuck is Jon Sims

Had a lot of fun figuring out how Michael moves! Now that I've drawn his grand entrance, maybe someday I'll draw the scene where he...uh...leaves.

He is so fucking autistic oh my god

[ID: four snippets of the novel It Devours by Joseph Fink, reading as follows:

1. Carlos nodded seriously. He had trouble understanding when something was a joke.

2. He didn’t touch her, because he himself didn’t like being touched, and so did not like to comfort people that way.

3. Carlos, too overwhelmed to speak, only let his mouth dangle open, saying nothing…

4. “Oh yeah, I’m sweating,” he said. “I need to improve ventilation on the machine.”

“My feet are on fire.”

Carlos looked at her feet, as if they might literally be on fire, and then, seeing that they were not, turned his attention back to the switches and the monitor.
