#I blame Jonathan Sims for this

[chaotic-kayne-kinnie]

I have exams in two days, but I just started Wolf 359, Jar of Rebuke, I still haven't finished Welcome to Night Vale, I'm tweaking while waiting for episode 51 of Malevolent and the rabbit hole is no longer a rabbit hole, it is a fucking vortex

JONATHAN ARCHIVIST IS NOT STUPID SQUAD I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU

[invertedmoth]

listening to the magnus archives and theyre mean to jon for something he literally can’t control

[one-of-many-mothmen]

If Tim Stoker was still alive when they figured out that you can pluck out your eyeballs to leave that absolute KING would not only do it but would do it IN FRONT OF JON just to make him feel the guilt

[mintybagels]

ahahahah yea i got that real podcast brainrot now folks

[theallegedbird]

that magnus sure is protocoling..

[lispunk]

me, scared of needles and on my way to get a tattoo: I should listen to the new magnus protocol on the way there

[witchinatree]

jon can't ever know the world didn't blame him for the eyepocalypse he can't ever forgive himself my organs are shutting down

[klm-zoflorr]

Maybe I just want Jonathan Sims to snap

Added a couple more onto my lineup of favorites from The Magnus Archives! I have so many more I need to do and at some point I want to do the whole actual in-house Archives crew, but for now I'm following where the brainrot takes me

Babbling about designs under the cut!

A couple pieces copy/pasted from the previous post. All drawn circa me watching season 3ish, give or take a half season. I just listen and draw

Jonathan is more late season 1, season 2 for me. I'll post some sketches later of my season evolution (only on season 3 so far!), but particularly in the beginning I imagine him immaculately groomed with his hair combed back and trying to look like a proper dapper boss man like Elias. But by the time season 2 rolls around he starts to get more rumpled, lets his hair start growing out a bit because he doesn't have time to go to a barber. Still put together and at least still takes the time to shave, but there's cracks starting to show.

Martin is the tallest in the Archives. He's a big fluffy newfoundland dog who thinks it's a tiny lap dog. He acts so much smaller than he is, trying to stay out of the way, be unobtrusive, not be noticed. Smiles a lot, always doing his best to keep others happy to his own detriment sometimes.

Tim once adhered to dress code, but moving into season 2 he just started not giving a shit and began to wear increasingly more casual clothes. Now he's seen almost constantly in some kind of printed shirt (but it's a button-up ELIAS) and looks and acts constantly like he's halfway out the door on vacation. His charm lets him get away with more than he probably should.

Daisy is a fave. I support women's rights, and occasionally women's wrongs. She's feral, she's awful, and she gives me this rabid butch vibe which is probably why she's the only woman I was able to draw, I'm scared of drawing women. I think she'd be able to throw 90% of the cast like a javelin even if she's a bit shorter than most.

Gerard Keay, president of the anti-book club. I'm incredibly normal about Gerry. Expect more art of him because I am absolutely OBSESSED with his entire story. Normally the goth boys don't really catch my interest, but this scruffy hasn't-slept-in-days book burner that shows up more messed up every time he makes an appearance has stolen my heart. Not a lot to really comment about for his design because he's one of the most well-described characters on the list in canon lol

Elias. I looked up stock photos for smug businessmen and went from there. My goal was to make him slappable. Punchable. Just a right dandy that is in every way put together and immaculate, but makes it seem effortless compared to Jonathan who seems to overcompensate by comparison in his frail attempt to be The Big Boss Archivist.

Peter Lukas! Peter my baby my boy my bastard. From the moment I met him as a spooky foggy cursed captain in Boatswain's Call, I knew it was all over. And the more I get to hear about him, the more I'm feral about him. Cursed sea captains from any era get my adoration without hesitation or concern for my own sanity. You can pry the mariner's peacoat Lukas out of my cold, dead hands. Peter is the only one allowed to be just as tall as Martin, if for no other reason than I wanted to make him bigger and broader than Elias

Hi I think I can only draw soft Jon from Cryptid Watch.

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

If I wrote a time travel au (Jon and Martin go back in time to first season archives after 200) where because of future intervention there’s a lot less trauma, and with less horrors to worry about past Jon begins to question his gender and starts experimenting with it- and it freaks future Jon out because ‘what tf do you mean I’m trans and never figured it out because Trauma????’

Would anyone read it?

[nineraeix]

Started listening to tma, I am unwell.

[soupdwelling]

tma doodle dump

[quillisadoll]

Having a depressive episode while being obsessed with something is so weird because why is my main coping mechanism is me pretending to be Jonathan sims the head archivist of the Magnus archives and why does it WORK

[ravelqueen]

I love the comments on my jealous!Martin post that are like "mhmm that's a red flag???"

which I mean

yes?

name the Magnus Archive main character that's not a red flag in some way at the end of the show/their life (except maybe OG!Sasha lol), because I really can't think of one, I thought that's why we're all here!!?
