The wait to see if Weepe has truly been completely broken or just playing the long con for a new backstabbing against the Trust is gonna be excruciating. As well the destiny of pretty much everyone, GOD, this show is amazing in so many levels.
Can't wait for season 3, awesome job!
I am certain that Weepe is planning to kill Imelda horribly. The question is when, why, and how? Does he want to become the most valourous individual in the trust himself, or does he want to blow it all up?
the sheer weight of this episode is incredible. the man with the strongest sense of direction left aimless yet hopeful. the woman who has ran her whole life is now running towards her greatest threat. the one who betrayed every friendship has now wielded the power of Trust. can't wait for the next season you guys!
The dramatic irony.
Lark believes she is going to save Sherman, though unbeknownst to her he needs no saving having already betrayed her. Phineas is doing his job as ad seclar by bringing Lark to the Trust, though he has renounced that role in defiance of a system that enslaved him and unaware that she is the reason for his downfall. Weepe, a living bio chemical weapon, who bleeds terror, has ordered a crusade against someone who is coming straight to him. They think they know so much, but are on a collision course with realising how little they know. And we can only wait for the seemingly inevitable to happen.
What a STELLAR Finale!~
It's like they all rolled Natural 1s on checks to notice cosmic irony
I'm a little curious if Lark's sense might possibly be a little askew right now. With how infested Weepe is now, the fold might be pushing Lark toward him just because.
Not to mention Sherman betraying Lark to get back to her daughter, one of the very few people who cares (or perhaps cared, we'll have to wait to know what she thinks of all this) about her. Poor Tzila, man, she's really gonna need that battalion of mothers
..and I think you missed the part where Weepe is actually the source of ammunition for Lark's weapon (or at least that is what I'm guessing)
WOW. banger season finale.
i love Moc Weepe's thematic physical change shown by him having a facade of opaque skin displaying (Valor)White-ish color while hiding tearror (Caenum)black blood reflecting his manipulation to the Trust system by looking valorous on the outside but despicably heinous on the inside.
after Imelda's intervention he is now a horrifying mix of translucent (Valor)white disgustingly showing the (Caenum)black liquid pulsing inside him. Being a Trust member with high Valor count, his new physical body kinda reflects the way things actually work in the machinations of the Trust, especially with Imelda having him on a leash.
I fucking love show-not-tell details in stories aaaaaaaaa can't wait for Season 3!!!!
I never thought about it that way!! That's an amazing observation and it super fits his character
"That's Lark."
"She looks like she's been through Hell, too."
"Well, that's just how she always looks."
😂💜😚
I love seeing close ups of the characters. I feel like up until now, we've only seen Lark from a further away point of view. But this art really showed us great details of her face, as well as her clothes. The artist really outdid themselves.
And y'all are sick for thinking up that eldritch horror that is now Moc Weepe.
I LOVE the art of Lark in this episode! The art of Moc was well done, too!
Will Kirkby is a legend
Zeela’s (sp?) hand shaking was a nice detail
Goddamn Weepe got 1984-ed. I have not been as scared as I was the moment when Weepe’s voice and condition were revealed. Season three right now pretty please
When I first heard this episode I had a vague idea of what new Weepe looked like, but in my head it was more subtle, like he had more definition in his skin, seeing the proper art and the glassfrog situation he's in, this is way creepier. Actually incredible.
I wonder if he'd wear a mask and gloves like Imhotep from the Mummy or if hes too narcissistic for that and just likes to shock people now?
it took me a whole day to realize this but harry and phineas were both on stationary hill at the same time... if they had seen each other it could have been super bad for harry, since phineas knows him and likely last saw him at the loxlee gala
Weepes new voice is chilling, I cant believe that the narrator is able to do that. What a skill.
Seeing Weepe walking has me worried, I was thinking he might be confined to a wheelchair with melted muscles, but it seems like that freakish wiry strength of his will still be in play. Heck, he might even be stronger than before.
RIGHT?? I didn't know his voice could get MORE growly but here we are and boy does it sound awesome
the messiah imagery for Weepe as he reveals all the information the Trust needed is so insane, not a few weeks before he was the one reaping the benefits without a care in the institution and now he's portrayed as the savior. Brilliant fall from "glory"
Honestly, Weepe didn't look too bad, but that might be because the art is so pretty. What was scary was listening to how he spoke. The charisma is gone and it almost sounds like he's drunk the Trust Kool-Aid for real. Really looking forward to the rest of this!
The first murderer is now the "savior" figure of the Trust.
The childhood murderer is now en route to be a savior to her traitor.
The trusted officer of the Trust is about to be thrust into the machine as mere gristle.
What a wonderful story. ❤🎉
*Banging head against a wall!*
Oh my god so good but also… another cliffhanger… ugh! Lark being the hero we want but so much adversity.
Phineas so warped in his thinking… he’s going to have to grow up… fast.
And now Moc Weepe… god help us all… he went from backstabber to zealot.
This has me hooked so much now. I can’t wait for chapter 3
We’ll see if he really is a zealot. He could be angling for that big *big* promotion, seizing power as is best for Moc Weepe. He definitely wants revenge on Imelda, nothing we’ve seen of his new personality makes me think he will forgive Imelda, only that he will bide his time.
@@CephandrianJES Weepe wants money. And as Nassim Taleb said, "Trust those who are greedy for money a thousand times more than those who are greedy for credentials"
He's not a zealot. He's too pragmatic to ever become a zealot.
I have a strong suspicion that Imelda's gonna get shafted, and Moc will make absolutely sure, when the time comes, and he's holding all the cards, that Imelda Goldfinch will know exactly whom, why, and how did her in.
@@bujtorm To me it honestly feels more like Imelda has some kind of control over Weepe now, he doesn't sound like himself at all to me. He's totally become Imelda's pet now, doing and saying whatever she wants
@@musicismydrugxo8217agreed. I would like it so much better for him to truly be a zealot now. Because that would mean that Imelda did truly, utterly break him, and that's the most fitting for both imo
@@musicismydrugxo8217 How he bargained with Sherman behind everyone's backs, kinda speaks against that.
Weepe never felt it below him to play a role, however humiliating it may be, until he didn't need to any more.
"Goddammit, Lark, you had ONE job." Thank you for making me laugh out loud today.😀
Okay, this was an absolutely amazing episode today! So many reveals and so much badassery!
AND POINTS TO XEN FOR THAT VOICE ACTING, DUDE HOW DO THEY DO IT!?
First, you actually made me shed a tear because of that sad Tzila part (also props to Sara for complimenting them so well)
And then the new Weepe voice is… *chef’s kiss* disturbing yet enchanting. Love it.
This was absolutely brilliant finale, but I wasn't expecting anything less.
I love the symbolic move of the Trust now having the darkness of the Fold invited and brought right into their midst, in a form where the ability to ignore it and not see that truth they ignore, that Caenum, is stripped away with literal transparent flesh revealing the Fold and the darkness at their core. Can't wait for that particular symbolism to play out in its full dramatic irony.
I love how much we've found out, and yet there is still so much to uncover. I feel so bad for Tzila, even if the coldness makes sense for Lark's character.
So the guy Lark killed was properly not a great guy, even though he is recorded as the most vallouress ever in the trust, right? She was apparently barely a teenager when she killed him, and it is not a stretch to think a guy with that much power, might use it to do something bad. My theory is her motive was either revenge, self defense. Maybe an accident or it could also be, she took the fall for someone else, but I am more partial to revenge or self defense or a combination of both.
All I am gonna say. There better be a season three
Weepe is no longer handsome... he looks badass.
I care about Landlord more than I did about half the survivors, and for Lark maybe that number was closer to 90%, surprised she didn't express it more (dumping Zila on Saskia directly after landing and running off to find him, etc).
I loved Weepe's final form.
Mocke Weepe has transformed into some kind of Undead Thing. Reminds me of Ainz Ooal Gown in how he's dressed up in finery and capturing everyone's attention.
Finally the Imelda and The Monster snippet we got so long ago comes back around
What a frigging ending. Didn't expect any less, but I'm still so impressed.
The Tzila-Saskia reunion was honestly Midst's most heartwarming moment so far. Weepe has truly become a monster, and I'm not talking about his new look. Lark and Phineas both trying to do the right thing for once, and yet they're both set to be thoroughly tested. Lark, cause the person she's trying to save has already betrayed her, and Phineas cause, if he shows up in the capital with the Un's most wanted criminal, he could possibly exchange her to get everything he ever wanted on a golden platter of Valor. I'm on the edge of my frigging seat!!!
I LOVE Lark and Phineas's dynamic, because they're both extremely flawed, yet their most prominent positive attributes are what the other is missing. Lark can't connect with others and Phineas has no backbone. I know it's unlikely but I'd love if, on their way to the Un, they sort of rub off on each other just a tiny bit. Could save them both from ending up like Weepe.
Man, I love Midst. Can't wait for season 3
I love how the start of the season gives a peek at the finale, and just leaves us guessing. After killing Atticus, and becoming a trustee, I had hoped the "monster" was going to be Weepe. Didn't even think about what was going to happen after the doors opened. Everyone is on such a collision course, I love it. Can't wait for the next episode.
So I called that the 'monster' was Weepe from the beginning. But I didn't expect his appearance. I thought that A) He was just gonna be exactly the same and the monster bit was metaphorical, due to his actions. Or B) He was gonna be much, MUCH worse. Like a slithering mass of tentacles or something. As it is he's not so bad. Just a little more see-through than before. 😛
Complicated expressions. Saying little, and yet so much.
This story just keeps getting better and wilder. I want to know what the end is, but I don't ever want it to end.
Holy shit. This one hell of a way to... end a season? This is the end of season 2 right?
woah, the opening, I thought I missed the intro lmao! you spooked me there
OH NO WAIT
WAITWAITWAIT
"despite his gruesome appearance, he looks.. kind of.. happy"
oh babe, don't. even you don't deserve this
I love that music that plays during dramatic moments in the Highest Light.
I kind of expected half of the things that made this episode so awesome... but when they appeared they were still so different in their execution! Amazing storytelling, goosebumps for half the episode.
the glowing crystal that adorns trust armor, was it called mika? the moon was made of that stuff, right? when the pauldron of mika was in the dark filled mail car it warped the environment. is the moon going to spawn some kind of massive flux Terror because its a massive mika shard in the sea of dark?
That was the tearror that we saw in the episode called weather
Just in case you missed it, that already happened - but great job in putting the pieces together! There's tons of stuff in the background that you can see if you pay really close attention. Half the fun is forming the puzzle! I wish you the best of luck in your further theory-crafting, aspiring Foldlet! ^.^
the fold wave that struck midst wasn't the mica interacting with fold, it was a stone being dropped into a pool. That wave was a ripple, so my question is if mica over time causes even further causal instability in fold, what will a moon sized shard create and whats its range of effect, and(ty for reminding me the dark is called fold) so many questions more,
@@alphtheor.879 For further knowledge on the scientific side of Tearrors as a response to more intense forms of light, I'd seriously recommend the Appendixes. If you're just staying with the YT crowd, you're only getting a small part of the story. As mica stays in contact with fold, the mica quickly deteriorates and excites the fold. The mica itself will expend its energy into the fold, though the nature of the Tearror itself is something of much debate both in and out of the cosmos. That being said, there are reoccurring patterns in fold as it relates to the intensity of mica. The more mica, the longer it takes to disintegrate, and the more dangerous the Tearror. You'd be amazed at how instantaneous the disintegration occurs... it's honestly quite terrifying.
so then as the moon falls through the fold it will disintegrate like an unstable comet. and based on how fast you state it to disintegrate it may have fully evaporated before it even got close to any fold towns? fun world, do not want to live no isekai for me please.
After this ending, I'm thinking The trust might regret making Lark, public enemy N 1.
There is a lot of tension, in the upper light between the upper trust and everyone else. Saskia and the escapes are an perfect example things are not as pristine as they look. This kind of situation normally call for a Hero of the masses. If public enemy no1 appears joined by the old adcecla, which has decided the trust has lost its way, at the sane time his boss is a public enquiry. This could get hairy
ooooooooooooo, so exited for everyone else to see this one!
don't leave yet! the really juicy bits are coming 😉 made me chuckle as I was excited for this evening
Every week I wait by far the most for the new mist episode from everything on the CR channel. Really good work guys!
I assumed from the start that Weepe would be the monster (either literally or metaphorically) but _holy shit_-
BANGER EPISODE. I was reaching over to my phone ready to find another video to watch when the ending scene started playing. So shocking. Love the reveal of "the monster"
Springroll time
What did you do to my magnificent bastard!
Excellent episode, the plot and dramatic irony thickens >:D
i didn't expect weepe to look like a kandra but he rocks it
Hell yeah Kandra!
The music is so good this episode. Is there a way to listen to it on its own?
There are select tracks up for download for Fold members, including the moon mining song and (soon) Kozma's theme
God you guys keep getting better and better feel bad for zhila but i can't wait to see what happens next
I look forward to the day ware all three characters are in the same room
Obligatory 1st
Oh look what they have done yo my boy...😢
My beautiful opalescent boy!😭
Really seeing the narrative converge in exciting ways this episode. I'm eager to see how the eventual confrontation works out. I really loved the acting in this episode for Lark and Tzila's scene. I'm getting vibes from Moc Weepe that remind me of the Phyrexians from Magic the Gathering.
Absolutely incredible as always. Please say that the next season will drop soon? 😢 ❤
Now that is the stuff. Perfect episode that just keeps on giving. Weep's voice is crazy good.
Wooooo
Early gang
Only one word fits...."Wow"!
Let's go it's monster time~
I can and i will sing praises to how impeccably this story winds and branches, always giving us new information ALONG with making us ask the next question. Brilliant storytelling and i aspire to pace my writing in the same manner, yall
Spoilers for the episode ahead:
Oh my god. The buildup to this reveal of Weepe. The mothers and Lark, the tearror scene with the lightbulb, the valor vault... I really wonder where he stands now in all of this.
Why did Lark kill when she was basically a kid? What happened back there, what were the circumstances? aaaaaaaah, i cant wait to learn moooore
It wasnt even when she was basically a kid. she was fully a child, I think its stated she was literally 12 somewhere
If she had to kill him as a kid, I'm afraid Max did (or tried to do) something really un-Valorous to her and we'll learn some truly horrifying things about him
@@evetobe With how the trust works it is likely he got away with a lot of terrible shit just cuz he was SO rich that it didnt matter if he had hits. Like Imelda getting away with literally imprisoning and torturing Weepe.
Crazy! amazing! I'm so excited for the next episode
FINALE TIME!
What the fuuuuuuuu--
HOLY SHIT!!! That ending!!!!!!!
what have they done to my boy???? 😭😭😭😭😭
I need a minute to process all of this, because wtf xD
Tzila cant catch a break man
The narrators didn't lie about Landlord!!!
I didn't think Weepe could get even more archaic, but I'm absolutely loving it
I’ll be your huckleberry.
dammmmm.... weepe is erm... yeah erm... wow
What an absolutely riveting episode. I can't get over how much this story, its characters, and its unique flavor have drawn me in. The art/artist in this particular episode was perfect for the narrative. I'm so glad to be listening several months behind so I can jump right into S3!
Thank you for an engaging story. So unique and creative. I've enjoyed every episode in both seasons
SPOILER incoming but I’m so obsessed with Mr. Weepe, a shady and shrouded guy, being literally and utterly transparent now. Omg.
Masterful.
That is all that can be said.
Where is it?
Your continued silence on the genocide on Palestine, a country that you have taken inspiration from for your 3rd campaign has led me to unsubscribe. And for those who say don't bring politics into this. They have publically given support to BLM and Ukraine. But have done nothing to call out the zionist occupation. Which makes sense since the enterntainment industry is chock full of zionists and since both Laura Bailey and Ashley Johnson have worked with Neil Druckmen writer of the Last of Us games and show, who is a loud and proud zionist who said he put his anger toward palestinians into his work. Remember: "To stay quiet is as political an act as speaking out." -Arundhati Roy
Spoiler (for the end of this episode)
"...the female now known as... Lark"
(I think he would have clarified that Lark is her new name... plus it sounds so much more "Weepe", to say it like that)
Weepe has been calculating the long play..
His deeds will have him become ‘most valorous’ (most holy) in the trust.
However - even if You can change the opacity of the outer skin, inside it is Still Moc Weepe..
So I totally expect him to take all that valor
And - sell out the trust - when his valor is worth the maximum amount.
My goodness what a great episode. Love Weeps new look!
Great ending to an excellent season. Love seeing how all three main characters have changed and now things are all converging - excited for season 3!
Also, is Xen's throat okay doing Moc Weepe's new voice lol? It makes everything he says much more threatening but I'm a bit sad because Weepe's original voice was one of my favorite things
And thats how season 2 ends!!!!
😭😭😭😭
😫 this story has wrapped its little dendritic feelers all the way into my core.
That scene with Laarc and Tzila was heartbreaking, made me cry my own tears! Omg. And new Weepe is fekkin terrifying. Wtf does Goldfinch know that we don’t???
This is one of the most unique and incredible pieces of art I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it
more... MORE.... MOORRE!!
Looking forward to season 3 rebranding the podcast to "Moist".
So heronimous is also tzilas dad?? There is so much there I can't wait to find out!
I just have to say, the artists did a absolutely AMAZING job! Like, it always looks really good, but WOW
Saskia and Phineas could be the enemies to lovers I never knew I was craving
Hate to break it to you, but that man is... not on that team... if you catch my drift.
@@elfietheespeon9462 Is this canon? Phineas absolutely reads as gay to me and I can't fully describe why.
@@godminnette2 Well I can! :D I am the current ambassador and sole spokesperson of the PhineasxJonas ship, dubbed "Golden Boys". We have cookies in the lobby, and several free pamphlets!
My guy could be bi! I have the feeling he had a crush on Spahr, but I don't think that dynamic was healthy at all.
@@elfietheespeon9462I was there with you, but thinking about it, the (perceived) difference in power/influence between them makes me a bit uncomfortable. I don't think they could have a relationship as "equals", at least not with how the story has developed until now. But Midst is constant twists and turns, so who knows?
Perfection!!!
Absolutely love this series!!!
Weepe got the Palpatine treatment. And honestly he's the better for it.
Oh my god that whole scene with Lark and Tzila was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK WEEPE
i already knew he would become like that but😢😢😢
This episode left my jaw on the floor throughout! And the ENDING!! Oh my gosh!
So….season 3 starts next week, right?
If weep won't find a way to f over trust I'd be disappointed
I love Moc Weep's new look he look freaking sick.
Damn, Weepe. Something about the way he holds himself, along with that outfit... it makes him almost look like some kind of holy man. Certainly a stark difference from his previous appearance!
Well that was all sort of predictable, but sometimes the predictable option is also the best when it comes to storytelling.
Well, that was the most dramatic episode ever! 😢
oh no! i just realized someone else in ever more danger that Lark. Hieronomus, he is on Midst in disguise, but his disguise won't fool the valorous fleet which is coming toward Midst.
He doesn't know they are coming and he is supposed to be somewhere else.
Such an Incredible show! And illustrations by Will Kirkby 😊are just icing on the delicious cake!
NO WEEP POOR BOY I KNOW HES DESPICABLE BUT STILL
Is this the first good shot of Lark we have had coz i love her
I swear every time we see Lark she gets cooler and cooler. My prediction is that by the end of the story, she's gonna be an eldritch being of the Fold and pull the Highest Light into the Fold by controlling it, ending the Trust once and for all.
I screamed several times listening to this in my car. So glad people weren't around to hear me bc I lOOKED like a maniac
