I am absolutely shook that Georgie's voice actor is named Sasha.
I wonder where the characters name came from *thinks*
jonny just steals his friends names for his characters. look through rusty quill employees and see how long it takes to find someone who shares a name with a major tma character.
VA Sasha is the wife of Jonny Sims!! He was so worried that his wife would be mad that her namesake would die in season one but she was like, "Nah just make it awesome"
Maybe rusty quill is collecting them
i believe they use 'spouse' rather than 'wife.' sasha's nonbinary and uses he/she/they pronouns. also fun story, jonny asked sasha which horror writer she wanted their namesake's character to be named after. sasha chose r.l. stein, the writer of goosebumps. jonny vetoed his choice and instead named her after m.r. james.
surprised by the amount of people being like "wow martins so rude". i thought it was kind of obvious that he could sense lukas was there and was trying not to be caught having friends
yeah! martin tells peter to his face that he chased daisy away so that peter wouldn't disappear her, they couldn't have made it more obvious.
Definitely gave me "RAAAH I'M BEING MEAN TO SCARE YOU OFF AND SHOW HOW I DON'T LIKE YOU (because i don't want you to die oh god please escape before he realizes i still care about your well-being and kills you)" vibes. Like, he's clearly just trapped by a powerful entity and trying his best not to let anyone else get hurt.
Martin has said the same thing over and over: He doesn't want to let anyone else get hurt. I firmly believe that through it all, that's still what he's trying for
Ah I didn’t think of that! I thought he was starting to accept into the lonely
Still, he didn't need to be rude, he could, you know, tell people to leave him alone. He's being a pain lately, really.
I am inconsolable
Going from hearing Jon refer to Gertrude as being frustratingly horrible at bookkeeping in season 1 to hearing Peter Lukas refer to her as being "distressingly good at obfuscation" in season 4 makes me feel... something
Really love how this confirmed one of the theories from the earlier seasons that Gertrude was intentionally bad at her job to ward off potential threats
All a facade so only her predecessor Archivist will be able to decrypt the info
It was all intentional, I'm impressed.
Hearing the voice for Jon be so peppy and fun is somehow more unsettling than all of the messed up horrific stuff the characters encounter...
I love how he said "on a cruiiise :D"
I almost physically recoiled at it
Him: hey y'all! Im jonny :D
Me: *physically recoils* wtf
I’ve been listening to this after playing slay the princess and whenever he speaks there’s just a hint of the smitten in there that makes me giggle every time.
For anyone wondering, the code broadcast by the numbers station says "The world is always ending"
Thank you!
thanks for the only comment of any value in here
Thank you for translating it!!
thank you! but, how? lol

Martin starting to push everyone away hurts me. And in the first few seasons, HE was the one who wanted to be a team, to help each other get through being under the eye and now... he.... :((
..
.
I suppose you know the answer by now, I don't yet... but I think he's still spinning his own little webs there.
"... you've earned some straight answers." "But not from you." "No, that sort of conversation makes me very uncomfortable."
I mean, he is a creep but that's a real mood. #introverts #conflictavoidance
I know I'm late, but yeah
His whole not wanting to deal with the library dispute is so relatable
huge mood
When I heard that I laughed and listened to it several times I mean I want him dead but he can be funny and relatable sometimes
damn martin really takin on that post-worm tim mindset huh
post worm.. god i love tma
post-worm... why did my mind go to the web serial and not the event in the podcast...
statement giver: *gives description of the place he lived and the type of summer*
me: *looks out of my window at exactly what they are describing* :[
I'm not even from the UK and I know that
The weather is exactly like that today (in Germany)
One question
Do you have a old decrepit pylon near you
This reminds me of something. There was an episode taking place at Tour Montparnasse in Paris, and when I played the episode taking my lunch I was really close to the building, and could see it. I was kinda scared xD
@@lounesz.5156 that's... that's really not fun, i'd be so creeped out.
so rusty quill really took stock of the fans' favourite qualities in each character over the years and said: i have a great idea, let's just tear that apart :3
That's how you know they're real writers. They rip their babies apart for character development and a good story
You know, this brings me back to when Martin bursted out to Elias about why couldn't he be mad, why couldn't he throw a fit like everyone else did. Well, congratulations Martin, you did it, you've archieved asshole mode. Now please go back, we miss you.
Upgrade meme.
F**k go back!!!
I miss bean boi Martin
Earlier in the season, he mentioned Peter being good at "listening", ie doing his little invisible snooping thing. I'd really like to think that Martin sensed that Peter was there, but needed Daisy gone. I think it's only confirmed to me when he mentions Lukas potentially "vanishing" Daisy.
Waaaaait so Martin is being a meanie to protect people from Peter’s lonely island?
~I'm on a boat!~
Everyone may be pissed off at Martin..... But no one heard the sound in the background: The sound of pencil scratching. I bet you my right hand Martin and Melanie were communicating through writing. Martin talking all rude like to throw off the scent that he might be trying to reach out for help. X3
I really like your theory and I hope its true. I need some happiness for Martin
Word
I hope this is true
Tbh when I read your comment I thought it was suer cool but also absolutely impossible. Then I re-listen this part and damn you definitely hear pencil scratching
I love how I add new words to my vocabulary every time Peter shows up.
Today's word: "Obfuscate."
The first thing I did was look that word up :D
@@germanerd6148 what does it mean ? :O
@@DabestSceneQueen make obscure, unclear, or unintelligible.
I add new words every episode because of my French arse
I knew that from programming. It means to make code unreadable to make reverse ingeneering more difficult
martin: i'm rude now >:3
Peter Lukas sounds like an evil Santa Claus
Maybe Jon was right about Santa beeing evil when he joked with Basire about it before they went to the dark ritual
@@germanerd6148 i mean i bet santa would have it quite lonely
Yes
18:02 Martin's breath shakes at hearing someone else is around him. That's not a show for Peter, that's him being genuinely uncomfortable with people coming near him. It's like how Jon would get irritated when someone interrupted him during a statement, momentarily breaking his connection to his patron. I also like how it's implied Peter vanishing and appearing is more a weird sort of teleportation than invisibility, unless he slid through the door as Daisy was leaving. It'll be interesting to see if Martin's connection to his new patron will manifest with similar abilities.
hearing jon's va, yknow, *jonny,* is fucking wild because it's not jon being depressed as hell for once
Gary: This wasn't a broadcast, this was INSIDE my iPod. This would have to be something different, something cutting edge and new
The person who just airdropped a recording to Gary's iPod: 😶
It's Kraftwerk and their Numbers track
Also Gaylord is a cool name hehe
@@macabrecitrus2127 thank you 😎
Was airdropping a thing in 2009?
Martin please, Daisy is trying to include you like you basically said you wanted,,, why are you being so mean???
he just doesn't want peter to quite literally vanish people he cares about,,,
First Night Vale and now here. Podcastmakers seem to like number stations.
How uneasy Martin sounds when he hears someone at the door :( And how he tries to keep people save from Peter by pushing them away
My first thought was Fay as well!
As a fellow Nightvaler, this definitely reminded me of Fey and I got sad
I also think that it's the lonely exerting influence by making him think people are safer away from him
yeah as sson as they mentioned a track called 'numbers' i thought of welcome to night vale!
@@rosemarycat5 Fay ❤ I miss Fay. And same, first thing to come to mind was her.
My man got a preview of the new “Grifter’s Bone”
They're sellout now. Not even one drop of blood smh
needs work
Grifter’s bone has a podcast now?
It's a fun cruise !!
I burst out laughing
I don't get it, did I miss something?
0:42 that's the most enthusiasm I've heard him speak with
Hi Jonny! Hi Sasha! Hi Alex!
seeing this comment in every video makes me happy... because that's what i think every time too
@@f_mva glad to hear that. We should all greet alex
I didn't realize this until my third re-listen but the reason why Martin is so hostile here towards Daisy is because he's holding himself back. She says Jon is back and the poor lonely boy probably desperately wants to run out and greet him, to ask if he's okay, but he can't and the line about there being no room for feelings is as much directed at himself as it is at Daisy.
Wow Jonny sounds so different from Jonathan
He’s such a good voice actor
wow hearing sasha and jonny just now was so wholesome
"My business failed" ad: OPEN YOUR EYES TO A CREDIT UNION!
Guess he should've joined a credit union
Open eyes eh?
I still can't get over how fantastic Elias' and Peter's voices are 🥺
Sigh.... Martin... Why...
This episode was surprisingly relatable.. the feeling of being stuck in a place you don't like, living a life you find hopeless, a sick feeling of longing for the doom, for understanding its signs. Anyway, the Extinction is growing on me
Why does just hearing jonny make me go🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 straight up
I can't see the emojis on my phone which makes your comment even funnier
all i see is a bunch of squares and same
"hi, i'm jonny sims"
me:
Ah yes, I too go □■■□■□○□●□■• (I jest, btw how the hell do we fix this redacted emojis???)
I wanna see the see the emojis...
Were they delighted, heart eyes, -horny- , scared, surprised 👀 ?
No knowledge. This is sad. The Eye is weeping.
Hearing Jon sounding not depressed made me honestly concerned for a moment before i realized it was the thing
I find it really interesting how Jon daisy and maybe Melanie, all characters that started agressive have softened up in comparison to basira and Martin who both are becoming more harsh
The water that softens the potato hardens the egg
The water that softens the potato hardens the egg
That also includes Tim (started soft and became harsher)
Love this thought process. The psychological affect of trauma on different people, each of them assessing their own personalities in the face of danger, bad choices, and finding themselves wanting. Jon started as a loner with trust issues and he suffered for that and decided to change (something we got to hear very explicitly) whereas Martin was hurt by Elias taking advantage of his soft heart and decided to emotionally steel himself, something we're witnessing now. Love that kind of character progression. Reasons why I LOVE this podcast
all the comments: why martin mean now>:((
But why tho...
I lost my mind when Martin started to read out the numbers and I heard static.
Also, number station. Fey? Welcome to Night Vale, anybody?
Fey? is that you?? QwQ
a bit off-topic, but i'd like to ask why jonny decided to give his own name to the archivist?? jonny, why are you torturing your namesake through amazing creative writing?? or is it just a ploy to confuse the hell out of us ;-;
the meaning name perfectly lines up with the watcher thingy , i read a comment or post on yt or tumblr explaining it
I think at the start it was just meant to be an anthology of short horror stories with him as the "host" or narrator... but that turned quickly hahaha. Too late to change the name by then.
it was gonna be an anthology at first and he didn't bother to change it
@@marmina1283
And then he kinda regretted it
It’s somewhat disconcerting to hear a not exhausted Jon
John isn't here, what are you talking about?
EDIT : oh, it was because of the voice actor saying something at the beginning isn't it?
@@achnav3762 probably
Martin is like Pov you accidentally invoke a demon by reading at loud a strange book
"you've earned some straight answers" well I would like to ask some gay questions first
Martin is so much like Tim now... even as he was yelling to protect Daisy, it's clear he *has* become distant and apathetic
as to the statement, The Extinction is TERRIFYING. and the atmosphere of a boring empty summer... man I experienced it plenty. writing is awesome yeah just keep hurting me it's fine
Hearing Martin being like that to protect the only family that he has left is... heart-wrenching.
Martins personality was the last thing holding this shit together, I‘m going to lose it
WHAT WAS THAT STATIC BEHIND MARTIN WHEN HE SAID NUMBERS
happens every time they quote something spooky in the statements
Is it similar to the invoked powers of the entities when they read the Leitner books?
With how he said he can hear the numbers without the headphones, and knows how to read them. Maybe this guy has become the first extinction avatar? And if he wrote the numbers down in a journal, we could have a new lightner on our hands.
Just after thoughts, I've finished the series and can say nothing relevant comes of this one, but it's fun to think about 👍
Potential names for the guy:
The doom reader
The number reader
Reader of doom
Doom sayer
End seer
More if i think of them 👍
Damn Martin
Martin stop being mean
Martin becoming like post-worm tim is hurting me physically. Rusty quill sure knows how to break the characters we love.
(sorry for the rambling lol)
this is a little too relatable. the mundane horror, not the numbers. having to move back home to suburbia, to aging parent(s), struggling to find a job, stifling hot weather.
and the doom isn't a heart attack or supernatural. sometimes they'll forget something or they need the tv turned up loud to hear. there will be a day that they need care i can't give. a nurse, a home, then a final duty to arrange and attend a funeral.
i've seen dementia wear away at a person far too many times, and my mom's inches towards her father's alzheimers like hair growing. only noticable when you really look, and like the eye i can't help but know how bad it's getting, going to get. i prepare my grief like a ritual, to see my marked mother taken by unknowing and then the end. i'm so tired of not being able to ignore the horrible truths. fears so simple and universal among humans that they become eldritch.
but that's why i love shows like this. i cling to them in their hyperboles that make the hard to describe be seen, and i feel understood. i could write a thesis on this kind of thing. the power of hyperbole to magnify the mundane tragedies into catharsis, hope. i love fiction that makes me want to write; even if it feels like it's being pulled out of me.
Anybody else find it odd that Jon has a similar name to Jonah, the founder of the institute? Just me?
JOJO INTENSIFIES
it feels like peter lukas is picking out all of these statements for martin, not just because he's trying to be like "whee hee extinction is a threat" but also to further isolate him. like, there are some lines that are so blatantly egregious, like "and while i could theoretically contact my old mates, they'd all gotten on with their lives without me. the world had moved on. i was left behind" like jfc do you really have to point out that with everyone's own cognitive distortions and shit that martin probably doesn't feel like he could reach out to jon, even if he wanted to, anymore? do you think he feels replaced by daisy, in some way, because she's the person who seems to be staying with him unconditionally, now? which isn't even getting into how basira is trying (and failing) to be a tough, ends-justify-the-means kind of leader, due to having spent months in the archives with nobody but melanie, and how daisy has done irredeemable things but is still trying to be better, and how jon's paranoia in s2 set himself up for being tim's emotional punching bag for semi-misplaced anger in s3, and then combined with the survivor's guilt that was exacerbated by basira's continuing grief and melanie's bullet-exacerbated anger issues has basically resulted in him thinking of himself as no longer human and now he's going on snack runs for people's trauma and, like, dude? you were stuck in a coma seeing everyone's nightmares for six months? he has given up on trying to be more lovely. sorry i just got overenthusiastic about the emotional isolation of all the characters and also how martin is taking a metaphorical file to all his tether people and just. filing away. bye bye to the human connections people need in order to feel like people
I'm late but this is such a good analysis
Now that I've had multiple panic attacks I know how fucked that feeling is of abject terror
- I believe you deserve some straight answers.
- …But not from you.
- Oh, no. That sort of conversation makes me very uncomfortable.
...Sure, there's nothing straight about anybody in this podcast, why should Peter be an exception.
Technically, it was Martin's right to send Daisy away. Yeah, she's traumatized, but so is literally everybody else in that place. Nobody can really blame him for wanting to be alone. But it did sound so wrong, especially coming from him. Huh.
I would hope nobody would try to blame him since they made it abundantly obvious he was only acting rude to Daisy to protect her from Peter.
Interesting that Martin wonders why he’s not told anything and then snaps at people when they try and tell him something. And I know it's because of Peter, but still he can’t exactly be upset about things he’s doing to himself.
Honestly, I'm impressed you guys had the self control to not touch on Number Stations earlier.
The dynamic between Martin and Peter is great.
hi my heart hurts
heck yes i'm obsessed with number stations, this episode is for ME.
Please guys! Stop blaming Martin for being rude! He doesn't want to be rude! It is because of Peter and the Lonely! Martin is the victim here, he needs to be saved! (preferably by John through romance please)
HE'S JUST SAD AND SCARED AND TRYING TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM GETTING DISAPPEARED
MARTIN IS SCARED AND ALONE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HELP HIM (👀@jonarchivist)
“If you have a fear…”
I had believed this, notionally, but I hadn’t found mine. Well, here it is! :T
Did this guy just stumble upon a haunted *Kraftwerk* demo ? Lol, because we've got:
-a track named _Numbers_
-synth music
-monotone distorted voice
-repetitive melody
-ominous "lyrics"
-reference to broadcast and radio
-pollution of nature by technology/machines remains
-the motorway (Autobahn !)
-allusion to nuclear warfare
...And the Extinction in general is also the fear of being replaced by technology. So machines, computers, robots, ... *Very* Kraftwerk. It's a coincidence, I'm sure, but this is a lot, hehe.
Also I still have and use my old iPod so thanks for making it terrifying, I guess
How to become an Avatar of The Lonely in a few simple steps:
1. Distance yourself.
2. Tell people you don't want them around you.
3. Others will know to stay away from you through word of mouth.
4. Profit.
At 9:37 Gary mentions listening to London Calling, a song about extinction. Nice detail.
What the extinction does is a lot different than what I thought it might be! It's super neat
Dekker was pretty clear about what he thought it was. Change. Catastrophic, no backsies change. Everything is dead, something new fills its place and everything you know and love is gone. But its not dead.
its so weird to hear jon's voice actor
Im surprised people are asking why Martin is mean..he explains himself to Lucas..an act to keep Daisy safe
martin has obtained: Depression
and i wish he didn't!! please stop being Mean you are hurting Yourself and your Friends
When i said i missed Tim i didnt mean for Martin to turn into him...
Martin better go back to normal i can’t handle this
“Hi, I’m Johnny”
Me: ?!?!!!?!?
MATIN don’t be so rude your tea privileges should be revoked for a week
Oh Martin
WHAT
HAVE THEY DONE
TO MY BABY
I’m sorry, hearing the voices of John and Georgie without any of the trauma sounds almost uncanny
Someone (can't remember if it was in the comments or in the podcast) mentioned that the End didn't used to have any Avatars but now it has Oliver, but why? Is it because Extinction is growing and opposes End? If an extinction event occurs then there is nothing left to End, which is like the Hunt having nothing left to go after. Did End choose Oliver as an Avatar to act in its best interests? Did Oliver approach Jon in the Hospital because so little is known about Extinction at this point and he thought the Magnus Institute would have the easiest time learning more?
Things to consider...
Don't panic...the numbers station song was a hidden track on some Tool album, lol
Honestly, the group has reasons to be aware of what Lukas is doing. Martin could be doing more to fight against it instead of letting the narrative jerk him and the rest along.
I was so offput when the episode started with "Hi, I'm Jonny-" and not "Hi, everyone. Alex here."😂
But...Skye Boat Song is such a lovely song, how the fuck did it get in a horror podcast?!
"Ride a steam train through a psychedelic hellscape" Oh yeah I'm SURE that that train is powered by steam and not horrific sigils and human blood that allow it's conductor to guide it through the key and the gate as it derails
Martin is being mean because of Peter, isn't he? He doesn't want to put them in danger. :(
Helen is a patron. I repeat HELEN is a patron.
number stations were used most often in the cold war, when the threat of nuclear war was very large.
A new favorite
Martin didn't hesitate to say "Assistant to Peter Lukas" this time. So saddening.
I'm sorry but I just kept telling Martin to shut up during the altercation w/ Daisy WVDUEHDHEHD
but like, you get that he did that because he knew peter was listening, and that he was afraid peter would cast daisy into the lonely if he didn't make her leave himself, right? i feel like a lot of people in the comments are missing that, despite peter and martin talking about it right after it happens.
"I'm trying to get out of the habit of sending people away, as you call it" Nice character development for Lukas =)
That's Numberwang!
Dude hearing that Jonathan Sims, the writer, goes by Jonny instead of Jon is really wierd for me cause I’m used to Jon 😂
me in the empty landlocked us state i grew up in :(
crying screaming scratching at the walls my poor boy martin I can't see him like this. Well, hear
Agshsghqhqhahahqhuqb "jonny" I think I just died
I didn’t know Grifter’s bone started doing podcasts now
Statement giver hearing apparently randoms numbers told through a sort-of radio device
Me, a Lost fan : 👁👄👁
relistening to tma before trying protocols out and man, the reading.. er, listening, comprehension of these comment sections is consistently torn between brilliantly impeccable and downright heinous
My favourite comment was buried somewhere in the last series. It was something along the lines of "So these two are suddenly gay and a couple now? With no build up or anything leading to it?" 😂.
@@Ceaseless_Watcher "no build up" is crazy like what were they doing for the 159 other episodes 😭
dont play with my sasha stan heart like tgat
Start 2:39
Hey the Skye Boat song isnt that the opening to Outlander?
Peter Lukas é o patrão
"Resolve aí que eu concordo"
Wow I'm very engrossed in my studies bc when he started dictating the numbers I first just thought of the split span paradigm haha
The numbers Mason, what do they mean!?
The world is always ending.
