do you ever think about how the phrase "I see you" is a major plotpoint in 3 out of 5 TMA season finales. In season 1 sasha says it to the Not!them. in season 2 jon replies "and now I see you". in season 4 jon asks martin to look at him and tell him what he sees (one of my favorite and most creative uses of his archivist powers in the entire show) to which martin replies "I see you Jon". (also I think it might have shown up at some point in the season 3 finale but its such a fever dream I barely remember it)

That moment in MAG78 when Jon’s listening to the Sasha tapes and his voice does The Thing for the first time properly and he says “and now I see you.” All ragged with grief and anger and you just Know he’s gonna get even yeah………..

in hindsight the most breaking line in TMA is 'I may not entirely trust my assistants but I'm not going to lose them"

Since there are Archives doppelgangers in the Protocol world, that means there were probably Protocol doppelgangers in the Archives world as well.
I want Colin to have been the IT guy at the Magnus Institute who had to deal with all of Not!Sasha's verification errors in S2.

silly tma headcannon: not!sasha wears those meme shirts with stuff like "definitely sasha james!" "I <3 BEING A HUMAN" and "nice skin? thanks i stole it" written on them and literally nobody questions it because of Stranger bullshit

The tma fandom seems to have unlocked our psychic capabilities. Let me explain.
If you’re on the tma tag, or just have a lot of tma art on your dash, you see art of characters you have only heard the voices of. And you go “Oh, that’s Jon!” “Oh, that’s Melanie!” “Oh, that’s Tim!” And only a handful of these characters have distinctly described traits (like Gerry’s eye tattoos), and fewer still have recurring appearances, or that we hear the voices of. And yet we all agree, roughly, on what they look like. Even if someone has a different design, instead of going “who the hell is that”, you go “well, that’s not what I think Georgie looks like, but I know it’s Georgie without having to check the tags”.
This gets even more interesting when you look at Sasha. Because she gets *replaced*. And so many drawings of not!Sasha label her as Sasha for the bit/for spookiness, but we all somehow *know* when we’re looking at not!Sasha, even when the drawing has no other spookiness.
Ive seen this extend too far sometimes, with a lot of Malevolent art being inadvertently assigned to tma characters, but rarely have I looked at a piece of tma art and gone “who the hell is that??”
Some of this comes down to a collective agreement on designs that happened before I got to the fandom - by the time I got here, pretty much everyone’s designs were largely nailed down. Even so, art where the designs deviate from The Socially Agreed Design are still readily recognizable as the characters. I’m getting to see this with Alice, too - I can look at almost any Alice drawing and go “yep, that’s Alice” and she’s only existed in our collective consciousness for like three months and her design isn’t solidified yet.

“And it will hurt. Oh, yes, it will hurt. It hurt Sasha.”
