The first three panels are close-ups of Jon.

Panel 1. Jon has a hand behind his head and is looking up, he has an expression of annoyance and embarassment on his face. He says "God knows what. and i can't talk to Melanie.

I suppose" and stops talking abruptly.

Panel 2. Jon lets his hand fall down his neck and looks to the side in embarassement, he makes an unintelligible sound.

Panel 3. Jon lets his arm fall down and looks Martin in the eyes, he has a sad and earnest look on his face. he says "I miss you"

The central panel is a medium shot of Martin and Jon.

Panel 4. Martin and Jon are facing each other, Martin is holding some files and has a look of disbelief on his face. he lets out a small laugh and says "Really?" Jon looks up at him with a sad expression and blushed cheeks.

The next two panels, in the corners of the page, are close-ups of Jon on the right and Martin on the left.

Panel 5. Jon looks up at martin with a look of surrender and yearning and a deeper blush. He says "yeah"

Panel 6. Martin looks down at Jon with a surprised face. realising he was actually being honest. He thinks "oh." /.End]

[belpheg0r-luna]

The distortion needs to stop being the sexiest thing ever! Like that laugh wasn't bad enough, holding a blade to John's throat and threatening him?! Crazy.

*THE* ARCHIVIST??1?1??1?1? BRO GOT PROMOTED

[johnsspacesuittight]

god Jon and Martin are *screams into a pillow* I’m going insane about the show in general but fuck Jon’s “I miss you” is living rent free in my head, actually everything he has said relating to Martin this season has been so,,, ghhgggh

[humanteethmarksonhumanbone]

Just for giggles, I did a holiday shot of Jon and Martin just because it's Christmas and I thought it was funny trying to think of a tolerable holly jolly thing for Jon to have considering there is no way he would be participating in this nonsense. I went with the scarf because it was easier to toss in and probably the only holiday item The Archivist wouldn't somehow smite with the full power of the Ceaseless Watcher.

"Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze on this horrible holiday season!"

diversity win! the person who justifies killing other people to live because they run a nonprofit uses they/them pronouns!

[nikkodikko]

I have been once again destroyed emotionally by one character asking the other to run away together, getting rejected and then the both of them being really gay and tragic about it

Finished season 4 of the Magnus archives!

Yowch! Ouch! Yowzers!

In all seriousness though this was a really good season. I dont really know what to say about this season because i usually write a paragraph. 159 made me sob my eyes out. Jonny is my favourite slightly moist paper towel. I know i’m supposed to be panicking about the apocalypse but i’m more worried about finishing the series in time for protocol

i've listened to MAG 158-159-160 in a perfect setting and just want to talk a bit about it

tw: animal death (rat) and a disturbing thing about it (it's the paragraph following me talking about mag 160 if you want to skip it, it really is not relevant)

spoilers for TMA season 4 finale

my experience listening to tma, there you go

i currently live in Paris. the autumn here lets the sinuous paved streets gleaming after the rain; the night falls early, and you quickly happen to walk under the yellow light of old street lamps, their glow slightly dimed by fog; when you know where to go, some places are almost devoid of people — and the cars are very rare. the sounds are mostly the Seine, the Canal Saint-Martin, your feet on the pavement, the wind, distant sounds from the city filtered by your headphones.

so i was walking in the 4th arrondissement, between Pont Marie, Sully Morland and l'île Saint-Louis, crossing some bridges, drinking hot tea as Martin dropped his actual first f-bomb, as Basira promised Daisy to kill her — and just couldn't stop wandering, as Jon entered the Lonely, searched for Martin, forced a statement out of Peter Lukas

(something funny did happened. i, well, gasped — really gasped — when Martin said “i really loved you”, but just had crossed path with a man, who turned back and stared at me, clearly concerned, and oh what a story like tma made me do)

(i told him “oh, pardon, c'est rien, désolé” and simply walked away)

then, mag 160; finally, i knew what the cows were about, why the sentence "hello Jon, apologies for the deception" is indeed iconic, and and i just fell into Jonah's clutches throughout his whole monologue.

when he was explaining the whole plan, i happened to walk on the corpse of a dead rat; they are not quite unusual here, though myself do not see rats often, actually; it was so bizarre, to feel its softness, and i did have an immediate body reaction, a shudder, and was a bit lightheaded right after; but it was thematically fitting. besides, it just reinforced the impression that it was just me, the town, and Jonah Magnus. a very... intimate journey, somehow

and then. well, the end (... no pun intended) happened. oh fuck. i had almost reach the Hôtel de Ville, and from where i was (les quais de Seine) i could see the very end of l'île Saint-Louis, where i was half an hour before, listening to Peter Lukas' statement; from there, you actually have a large view — you see all the sky. and oh. i actually stopped walking, and just stared. and it was brilliant

really, i don't think i could have had a better experience (besides, i don't walk enough these days, and doing so in Paris is always a good idea because the city is so cool)

anyway, i just wanted to talk about it, put it somewhere, because it was sick bordel vraiment incroyable, and it's great to commit it to memory

(there are. so, so, so much things at the end of the season. it is a very strong finale, probably my favourite, and i can't wait to finally listen to s5, though i do not want their story to end and leave them behind) (i won't, but... you know how it is)
