y'all this post is untagged ai. a lot of people aren't realizing it, but if you take a second to look at it, it becomes very clear

tumblr keeps showing it to me and OP has refused to tag it, so when you go in the reblogs it's a bunch of people who don't seem to realize that it's ai either. i recognized a lot of usernames in the reblogs, from people who i definitely know are against ai stuff. so if you've reblogged this thinking a human made it because OP refuses to edit the original post for transparency— now you know.

Doodle of Jonathan Sims through Season 1-5!

Not the final version I think. But wanted to draw him throughout the season. Had a BLAST and EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE while listening. BUT I'M FINE.

Anyway, here's a wet cat of a man.

pivoted from “let me try actual lineart with this one” to “what counts as a line, really?”

Have you heard of the “dark academia aesthetic”? If so, do you like it and have you employed it into the ~vibes~ and ~themes~ of some of your work? Asking because I’ve seen many people interpret Magnus as belonging to that kind of vibe and wondering if that was your intended vision

It's hard to articulate why exactly this ask a amuses me so much. Essentially "dark academia" tends to be a slightly cartoonish fashioned-up vision of old British scholarly institutions, as interpreted by American kids who are just picking up on the vibe. As a Brit who's spent most of their life in London, Oxford, Manchester and the various libraries and museums therein, it's not an aesthetic or a vibe - it's just what I know. Also, from what I can tell one of the other main inspirations for "dark academia" is adaptations of Victorian and Edwardian spooky fiction (James, Blackwood, Dickens, etc.) which are exactly the sort of ghost stories I was reading as a kid and which inspires a lot of my work.

So, I guess my feeling is Magus wasnt aiming for a dark academia vibe - dark academia is aiming for a *Magnus* vibe. And it's not nailing it.

Fourteenth doctor with longer hair! I've always thought this style would have looked great on him too 😊

Late but this is me when I hear about an eclipse

I feel that thread. First episode of s5 of TMA is honrstly so fucked up.

[ciao2-bambi]

Okay enough stalling, time to listen to tma season 5. Mute me now (#tma liveposting, #long post)

Tma is a supernatural horror podcast but what if I ignored all that and drew the characters eating noodles and riding the bus to work

jon archivist sims [ID: Magnus Archives fanart of Jon Sims, a thin brown man with long hair holding up a tape recorder with a neutral expression. The canvas fractures like glass over his left eye, and each splintered section shows a progression of a close-up on Jon's eye slowly moving to face the viewer. His face is lit by progressively brighter green light, and his pupil develops a green glint. End ID] ID by: @princess-of-purple-prose (thank you so much!!)

Tea as a love language: I like to think that in life together now, Jon sometimes gets to be the one to bring tea to a tired partner. You know, for balance's sake.
