  • 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 am so happy with this episode. The last time they did an exposition dump, that was the one with Leitner, I dropped the podcast for quite some time. It just sapped my enthusiasm. It felt like they revealed too much too fast and made it... way too human to make sense as cosmic entities. This episode... fixed all that. Once again I have to applaud TMA for its incredibly clever writing.

    • ​@@americantoastman7296 I kinda feel like that was the point of leitner and why he had to die according to Elias. He did dump way too much way too fast and when it overwhelmed John, much like it did to most listeners, Elias killed him because it was too much too soon. I think they did it really well honestly if you look at it like that.

And there's an endless amount of people making jokes about how "the fear of being loved is the fear of being known" (the Eye). I get what he meant though.

    • 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.

  • 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...

    @ray30k@ray30k4 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.

  • 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
