I would love to work for the Eye, but I'd hate to be its victim :)
Rurrie
2024-11-14 17:06:39 +0000 UTCToday I learned The Eye is not my avatar . The idea of everyone watching you is a terrifying sensation and the description of the crowd legitimately unnerved me. This is absolutely and introvert's fear.
Heather MacKenzie
2020-11-23 17:24:49 +0000 UTCUgh that was horrible. The description of the crowd was just like when I used to go to school and my bullies would spot me. Their faces would light up with joy and anticipation. Amazing how these things stay with you.

Sinclair Cross
2020-11-20 10:45:50 +0000 UTCThe soundscaping in this one !! Amazing. The eye swallowing her was absolutely disgusting and creepy. Brilliant as usual

2020-11-19 12:56:00 +0000 UTCCan I just say how INCREDIBLY weird it felt to listen to this. I'm not used to hearing my name in media haha

2020-11-18 23:45:14 +0000 UTCThis was such a cool episode!
Alexandra DeCarlo
2020-11-18 23:08:36 +0000 UTC....what does that mean what are you about to do Jon. D:
Laura Bailey
2020-11-18 23:00:16 +0000 UTCI wrote a long-ass comment but the Web ate it D:
Juls SK Vernet
2020-11-18 18:45:43 +0000 UTCWell, thatβs most of us traumatised just a little more. The Ceaseless Watcher is always with us, whether our own neurosis or the 500k cameras watching us in London (insert your own location here!)
Lulu Last
2020-11-18 18:27:02 +0000 UTCAdding my please please please to this as well. Just a quick βthe Admiral is fineβ interlude. He must be protected at all costs. ππ±
Gilligan Mungus
2020-11-18 18:12:18 +0000 UTCSpecial request: i Know next week will probably be a cliffhanger bc hiatus and the combined force of jonny and alex is just pure evil but can we PLEASE get a supplemental of just 30 secs of the admiral purring- it doesnt have to make "sense" or anything dumb like that- i just need it... i demand kitty!!!! Give us the kitty!!! the people want CAT!!!! Pretty please :)
Owleics
2020-11-18 17:32:57 +0000 UTCIncredible work as always, this was powerfully awful, all that focus, all that scrutibilty. Ceaseless Watcher indeed. And that ending. I am not ready for what is to come and I can't wait!
MuddyHippy
2020-11-18 17:27:54 +0000 UTCI loved the part where she finds the eye in the wall. The image of it swallowing her into its cold pupil was incredibly creepily evocative. Also the ending as quite interesting indeed.... I am very excited for the next episode except also not because I dread the hiatus and the inevitable cliffhanger we will have to deal with.

2020-11-18 17:26:33 +0000 UTCReminds me of 'Mid-Season Eyeball' from that joke list of season 2 episode titles...
Rozzlynn
2020-11-18 17:24:45 +0000 UTCGreat eppy soad! I loved the auditory transitions on this one, especially the one from the street to the therapists office. The click of the pen was so jarring (in the good spooky horror podcast way) and so effective in establishing setting!! Loved it!!
Owleics
2020-11-18 17:18:00 +0000 UTCGreat, I can tick "Eyeballs???" off my prediction bingo list. Success!
Lurkin
2020-11-18 17:08:44 +0000 UTCmmmmmm, the SHIVERS i got from this one. wow. i also just had a little moment thinking about that transition from the Lonely, which feasts on hidden, private suffering, to the Eye, which wants everything in plain sight. how much sense it makes, that martin and jon are drawn to each other. i come from one of those suburban houses with many private, hidden stories to tell and heavy secrets to keep, and no matter how embarrassing and against my nature it might be, i can't tell you how much i sometimes wish it could all just be Seen. i found it interesting that i didn't quite feel fear when i listened to this statement. i found myself almost thinking, if someone would come up to me on the street and list all my failures and little heartbreaks, maybe i wouldn't have to keep them hidden in that cookie cutter suburban house anymore. they'd be free. anyway: today's little bit of self-discovery is sponsored by TMA yet again! the Entities are a hell of a framework for things, as usual!

2020-11-18 16:53:03 +0000 UTCI hate being center, let's see what's in store...
Sadie Moon
2020-11-18 16:51:24 +0000 UTCGee thanks Jonny! Didn't think I was gonna be getting called out like this. Also LONDON!!!
Jess Swinburne
2020-11-18 16:44:43 +0000 UTCThis statement is just what being in middle school is like...
Abigail Espinoza
2020-11-18 16:44:39 +0000 UTCTMA is a horror podcast indeed.
eleanor is fine
2020-11-18 16:39:54 +0000 UTC"let's see if I'm worthy of your attention" OOOOOOH can't wait for Jon to go be a badass!!!
Lavanya Annette
2020-11-18 16:29:29 +0000 UTCExcellent, loving the eye imagery. Very excited for whatβs to come!
George O-m
2020-11-18 16:28:33 +0000 UTCI donβt think Iβve ever been made sick by a statement like this before, itβs literally a deep nightmare of mine. Bravo Jonny.
