I love how the comments exclamation for the weird behavior in each episode is “ah yes an art student”

[afraidoftrees]

"A bag of old doll heads"

Me: Ah, an art student.

[vectorenigma]

So this is what the tooth fairy does on her spare time

[VRCA]

Johnathan: All 2780 of them were the exact, same, tooth...
Ad: IS INVISALIGN THE BEST FOR MY SMILE?

[PixelMarker]

"he found some weird pages with some words writen in latin" *HOLY SHIT IT DOES HAVE AN OVERARCHING STORY*

[CeramicGod]

oh, oh now THATS why people tag my teeth posts with "The Magnus Archive"

[dannymern]

Why does he hate Martin so much???? It's honestly kinda funny

[nortalian]

I wonder if, perhaps, that metal heart wasn’t metal all the way through. That it could have just been a metal coating on Allan’s heart.

[namaschu]

John: * mentions his hate towards Martin every second it's possible *
Tumblr: ah yes, they are gay

[samaustin]

As a Groundskeeper at a uni who mostly specializes in Waste Management; this creeps me out on a whole other level; I’m just imagining this happening to me.

[acidvolcano]

me for the first half: Hmm, this is creepy trash
the teeth: *pour out *
me: DEAR JESUS

[leomorris]

love that this episode canonically has fuck all to do with anything

[blotofink]

“It was filled with teeth”

Me: e-excuse me?

“They were all the same tooth”

Me: EXCUSE ME?!?

[minebr]

Im thinking that maybe it wasnt allan texting "found him". It couldve been the person bringing the bags took allan and texted the other garbage man from the victims phone, as in "i found allan" not "found the teeth guy"

[kohtea]

“nobody doesn’t seem to realize up to a dozen ppl might be seeing what you thrown away”

me, remembering all the 1D x reader fanfiction i wrote in my notebook at 10 y/o: 👁👄👁

[birdy]

the escalation of concerning shit to find in garbage bags is so wild here. doll heads: creepy but cliche, easily explained away. prayer paper: disturbing to folks with religious backgrounds, but not super nefarious. PRESUMABLY HUMAN TEETH: DEEPLY ALARMING, APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES NEEDED ON THIS ONE. an anatomically correct ice cold heart with the name of the dude who's gone missing: idk man i think i'm done here, bye. the voices of the different statement givers so far have been really strong, the stories have felt really authentic to the characters telling them. i see the narrator is still being rude about one of his assistants on tape. very bad manners!

[jojoceda]

Man, heartless coworkers are the worst

[eddssac]

I would have assumed whoever was living there was an artist/sculptor.

"They were all the exact same tooth"
to disturb and viscerally upset your audience in 7 words or less

[ElForrest-Okey]

.... why is it I always expect to be less disturbed by the next episode but it's always more disturbing.
