I wonder if some of Ink5soul's early reaction to their fame (fans/strangers obsessed with their work/changed their life, etc/horrible but good) is of similar experience to Jon and Alex's quick rise in fame

Leena was right. Gwen doesn't have what it takes for the job she so desperately wants.

Hungers!!! That sounds like the first real name drop for what they're dealing with here

weeeell, I want to count this as the first hinted "character death" ... Bye, Gwen ...

'Ink5soul returns to THEIR victim' THEY/THEM OF THE DAY ALERT 👆😮!
Also, so is it safe to say the externals are like SCPs except in fear form? lol
Another great episode. Curious about Sutherland
Macdonald, Oscar Jerrett and the tattoo of the alchemical symbol of gold...

Sooo… The Protocol apparently thwarted this universe’s Jonah Magnus.
Btw, I love England.
Also, Gwen has archivist powers.

From one Gwen to another, RUN!!!!!!!
Going to be on tenterhooks until 21 drops!

I guess that’s a joke. There is a specific type of pnis piercing & spot called Prince Albert.

This ep was SO GOOD and Sutherland McDonald lowkey seems a bit like Smirke and how he would teach others
Fae
2024-06-11 21:25:59 +0000 UTC
Omg, skin leitners?
Merlin3434
2024-06-11 21:07:40 +0000 UTC
GWEN NOOOO YOURE GETTING MARKED!!! Also Ink5oul mentioned someone tattooing Prince Albert's WHAT???
Either way this is probably one of my favorite episodes so far!! Well done everyone!!!

WHAT AN EPISODE (again)
YISUS GWEN WHEN I THOUGHT THIS WOMAN COULDN'T BE MORE JON-CODED

Vibrating with how good this was! But the real question is... If an Ink5oul case is delivered in the wild and there's no (visible) computer around to file it... Does it still get a DPHW? The answer is, apparently, yes, which means I'm going to need a whole new set of red string and thumbtacks.

Ok, so after listening to this episode, do they call them " externals " because they know their " powers" come from outside the universe ( ie the original TMA universe)?

Damn prepare the #Ink5oulIsOverParty 😭

I think she’s starting to! That might have been Eye-induced eloquence.

Gwen really is the Jon of this show with her audacity and lack of survival instincts 🤣
Sorvelle
2024-06-11 18:04:43 +0000 UTC
Perhaps pissing off the maniac who likes to tattoo people (that then have horrible accidents) was not a good idea, Gwen?
A_Spooky_Nosh
2024-06-11 17:50:59 +0000 UTC
The way I kept yelling at Gwen to shut her mouth lol
Also Celia knows the world ending horrors listen to her Sam!

Just imagine. Gwen showing up next day at office, inked top to bottom, Victorian Circus Freak style with “government snitch” tatted across her forehead, refusing to elaborate.

gwen overplaying her hand sooo hard. she wishes she had that jarchivist magic
AK
2024-06-11 16:56:39 +0000 UTC
I’m really glad Sam is able to put this together so quickly. It’s always frustrating to watch a character not get it for a prolonged period of time
Betty
2024-06-11 16:42:02 +0000 UTC
the day gwen learns to stop being sassy to people who could definitely kill her is the day we can have peace

[spoiler, don't read if you haven't finished the ep!]

I don’t know what you put in this episode but the suspense had me by the throat literally for the entire runtime, god I feel like I’ve just run a marathon—

Lmao, yeah, Celia, why do you think the Magnus Institute might've been up to something potentially world-ending
