I think it's a favorite because it's personal for the titular character. We have heard of and felt for strangers that many times didn't live to continue the tale. But with Jon we are living the tale right now. And loredumping is a treat when you're this invested in his tale. The anecdote itself is relevant because of the connection with Leitner at the wake of recent events. The story itself might be straightforwards but the build up of the endless copy paste of images of the same scenario works beautifully. And the association with The Babadook doesn't hurt. That remains my favorite GOAT horror movie, hands down.

@@klltsun_2576 I think anglerfish (as well as the taxidermy episode) was the Stranger's work, rather than the web. The Stranger is more uncanny valley or a human-not-human (like Not sasha), while The Web is more of a mind control, "your actions aren't your own" brand of spooky. Think: did the fake in anglerfish *actually* make the statement giver do something against his will? Did he feel something compelling him to step forward and give it a cigarette? No, he was simply faced with something inherently not human. (I'm sorry if this derails the op, I'm just hyperfixated right now, so I've taken to categorizing cases and artifacts :D)

My friends had told me I would love this episode before I even started listening to the podcast but wow. This was both great and very, very disturbing. I mean, I have this habit of knocking on things when I know there's a spider living nearby. Just... you know, knocking on the wooden things and gently moving around objects, so they can hide and I don't have to see them. A fair warning, I always thought. "hey, I know you live there too, and I wouldn't want to rob you of your home, but for both our sake, it might be better if we just... avoid each other! So knock knock, I'm coming, can you please retreat to your hiding spot for as long as I'm the room? Thanks. You're a nice spider." I don't think I'll ever be able to unhear this episode. Huh. I think I might want to reconsider my silly habit. It's no wonder the friend who got me into TMA got so ominous with me when I told her of this habit as a small quirk of mine.

as someone who's,,, familiar with childhood trauma, this is rlly well written and hits close to home. ksxbhd obviously i didn't watch someone get eaten by a demon book or w/e but like the way he processed it, the way it fucks up your brain when you blame yourself & makes it difficult to accept help or get close to people,,,, i'm not here to dig up my shit but good job writing a realistic depiction of trauma, especially the long-term effects !! shit hurts but it's actually really nice to see this kind of trauma depicted in a realistic way in a work of fiction ^^

I've been deeply enjoying this podcast while working on moving, enjoying some spooky stories. But these latest episodes are the ones that really start to freak me out. And I think that's because they're so much more real. The others are stories recounting what happened, and in a way that's better because you know that the person telling the story makes it out alive(or at least somewhat alive in some instances). But these past few episodes, it's all being recorded as it happens. There is nothing to reassure you that anyone is going to make it out alive. And now I'm caught up in a whole range of emotions because Jon is clearly not ok, and I don't think he'll ever be truly ok again, and that breaks my heart. But we also don't know what's going on with Martin and Tim and if they're ok or what Elias is up to. And that worries me.

this is already my favourite episode tbh but honestly the most shocking thing is that jon is a 90'S KID WHAT i thought he was at LEAST 40 lmao but somehow knowing that hes probably in his late 20's makes this all so much more tragic wtf also, if the eye thing apparently claimed jon and if that happened when he was a child or something, then maybe the spider tried to kill him because it hates the eye or something idk (that would also explain why jon hated the spider book & spiders in general i think) (maybe that was also why his parents died just from different monsters) its kind of funny to me how he literally Watched all that happen like it makes sense its the eye
@swiftfeathers70283 жыл бұрын
you probably already have all this figured out if you've finished the podcast; but the Web was the first entity to 'mark' Jon. Elias and the Beholding chose Jon because he had already been marked by one of the entities; and he needs someone who is marked by every entity (or Fear) for his grand scheme. I don't believe that Jon was claimed by the Eye until he took over Gertrude's position, but I could be misremembering. But also, very convenient for Elias that Gertrude's understudy had already been marked once. Poor Jon, though.

05:48 Did you mean: *me* 06:43 Welp, they mentioned Diana Wynne Jones. There goes my heart, given voluntarily to this podcast for like the thousandth time in two weeks. /I hope the one book he read from her was Howl's Moving Castle; it's undoubtedly the best, with Castle in the Air coming close second and Witch Week hanging out in the third place/ 16:40 I was so ready to hear him saying "...but I have since come to the conclusion that I was a d/ck". C'mon, Jon. We all know you pretty well by now. You don't have to dance around it like that. Ooh, so Melanie was not the first person from the "let's make the things that torment the archivists and assistans of the Magnus Institute sound like fun and entertainment" cathegory that Jon has met. Interesting. S1 Jon: His dead body was completely wrapped in webs? Definitely a stroke. S3 Jon: Yeah, I've met Daddy Longlegs before, nasty thing, def supernatural, made me go to the Archives in the first place. S1 Jon: Oh you, "respectable" "paranormal investigators", with your fancy equipment to give it some "sparkle" (of bullshit, ahem, what? nothing), coming to us, credulous fools to make a statement? So honoured, so honoured. S3 Jon: Oh hey, Georgy c: I cleaned your kitchen c: Love your cat c: Thank you so much for having me c: Sorry for the trouble c: Will be quiet as a mouse c: Will stop recording everything like the maniac that I am just because you need some peace and quiet c: /shy chuckle/ I'm having a blast, glad I waited for a good time to sit down and enjoy this without being in a hurry. What a start for the new season! Love the insight on Jon, the new girl who I already know I would kill for without hesitation, and the potential this sticky situation gives us. So did Jon just see Leitner's body and noped the ef out of there immediately bc he knew exactly how the whole thing was gonna go? The sitch is terrible, but the picture in my head is hilarious, not gonna lie.

Currently listening to this episode on Spotify again, I'm just here to comment. It's the... 4th, 5th time I'm hearing this episode now. And it still is and remains one of the few statements that actually gives me chills. It's among my favorites, partly because I adore Jon and it's great, although painful to learn more about his background. But the story about Mr. Spider scared the everliving shit out of me and it's just the same each time I'm listening. The writing and performance of this one are genius. As are the sound effects and background music, it really does its job to have me on the edge of the seat and chills running down my back.
