who is really in control?

(hint: it definitely isn’t the archivist!)

i have spent entirely too long trying to convince myself i don’t hate this, so i’m putting it here before i can delete it. enjoy it, you freaks

n e ways here’s the dumb stuff:

this pose came to me in a fever dream. or while listening to carousel by linkin park, i can’t remember

something about jonelias just scratches my brain. idk why, but it’s probably because i enjoy complicated love/hate dynamics and not because elias/jonah is the hottest character ever, definitely not, who would even say that? i don’t ship them, not really, but it’s a very interesting idea

and that’s not even the point of this piece! it’s more just me messing with control as a concept in a typical tma fashion as best i can while also still hating my art, iykwim

also they’re both pretty. i’m gay. happy pride still ig 👁️🕸️

MAG200 SPOILERS AHEAD‼️

the archivist 👁️

in the style of an anime screenshot because i say so.

SPOILERS FOR S5 OF TMA AHEAD‼️

heyo!! new hyperfixation time lesgo i’m killin it over here

i finished the magnus archives in about three weeks. it was an incredible experience lemme tell ya jonny sims and alex newall are gods among men

i love this depressed wet cat eyeball godbeing so much it hurts me. his voice has become my entire inner monologue. i think about him the instant i wake up and the second before i fall asleep.

him and his foggy soft sweater tea boyfriend restarted the fanfic addiction that i’ve been fully recovered from for two years. two years.

this is bullshit anyways have some art of him

here are some various progress shots of this guy, who took me surprisingly long to figure out how to draw.

he has no canon design, gang. none of these characters do. this scares me.

i tried to include all the scars he canonically has, but i apologize for my lack of knowing how to draw the scar from a worm fucking burrowing into your skin and i am not googling that thanks very much that’s fuckin terrifying

and here are some closeups because why not

i intend to draw his progression through the seasons at some point, but let’s just say in my head he went from a typical academic to… this thing pretty gradually

if i were to serve a fear entity it’d probably be the vast, cause i love big empty spaces and big cities and buildings and the views from those buildings and idk if i see something big my first instinct is to pog face. also space is vast and i LOVE space. my legal last name is spacekid trust me bro

the worst one for me is the corruption, 100%. i fucking HATE insects so much and its whole thing is yknow THAT and it fucking sucks i hated the noises they added when jane prentiss attacked holy hell i’m gonna stop thinking about it now

also what in the hell is the mechanisms and why do they keep showing up in fics as a band jon was in? are they real? because if i am able to hear jonny sims singing then goddamn i need that shit RIGHT NOW

n e ways that’s about it gang… see ya later 👁️

greetings, earthlings! my name is Ailbhe, and i am the Average Spaceman!

it’s pronounced like “AL-vuh” but please call me Al :)

here’s the basics:

he/they | 22 | FL | ENTP | gay/ace | ♾️

and here’s the rest of it!

i’m an artist!

things i draw:

- the Magnus Archives (my current hyperfixation)

- cartoons (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites, etc)

- anime (Fullmetal Alchemist, K Project, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, etc)

- music stuff (My Chemical Romance, Rush, etc)

- various other speculative fiction media (Doctor Who, Ready Player One, Star Wars, etc)

- OCs (which i do not post unless they’re associated with other people that have also posted about those ocs)

i don’t only do these full-body ones i promise, but these are my favorites so they’re on here

find my art at asm.psdc!

i’m a cosplayer!

things i cosplay:

i’m not gonna lie gang i haven’t cosplayed properly in a solid six months so this is a lil iffy but

- male characters

- nonhuman characters

- others i relate to maybe (keyword there is maybe)

yes i make the same face in every photo what of it

whenever i post cosplay i’ll put it on ask.png but it’s unlikely i will very often, so just check out my tiktok instead (i don’t post there anymore either. whatever idk)

i’m a writer!

it’s my main hobby and the thing i’m most proud of!

here’s my ao3 :D

however, there’s not much to be said here; i mostly write original stuff now and i don’t post that anywhere so. yeah

maybe i’ll publish it all for real someday… 👀

i’m a voice actor!

go check out What Remains of the Magnus Institute! it’s currently the only thing i’m in but hey it’s something right? something AWESOME!!

the character i voice is called Elijah Perry and he is perfect and i love him. find my drawing of him here!

i’m also a writer for this project, and the dialogue for this episode was written in part by yours truly!

last but not least:

if you wanna learn more about the various things i like, zoom in on the action figure piece! i added all of my favorite pieces of media in various forms :D

i have a reblogging/yapping blog called @averagespacetextfile, if you’re interested in seeing stuff i like/hearing me talk! i promise it’s interesting i think idk

i have a yapping tag as well, it’s asm.txt! find all of my textposts and others i’ve typed a lot on in there!

anyways, thanks for listening!
