Jon was later found in his office blushing madly with his face slammed into the desk and the crumpled poem clutched close to him

[jouxlskaard]

he managed to get a selfie before the ECDC showed up

addition: a humble introduction to Creepy Ring Doorbell Elias (credit to my friend Pickles you are incredibly cursed and amazing for suggsting this)

"I thought this was an exterior wall..."

Feeling a little conflicted about this piece but i'll post it anyway lol

[iwikpines]

so they did a Secret Santa gift exchange!

"I had expected Gerard to leave immediately, but instead he walked over to my metal waste paper basket and placed the book inside. He reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a bottle of lighter fluid-

[ID: A Magnus Archives comic. Gerry's tattooed hands can be seen opening a bottle labeled as "Leitner Fluid". Then Gerry is shown in full as he pours the bottle into a trash can containing Ex Altiora. He tosses a match in, then smiles as the book is set alight. End ID]

Oh sorry Leitner fluid and a box of matches."

Me: *Haven't made a proper illustration for almost 2 weeks straight*

Also me: *Proceeds to make 4 illustrations in one day*

Anyways been listening (very slowly) through TMA again, and thought "Hey why not make some posters for some episodes I like". So here have 4 of my fave episodes of the first half of season 1

S1 Archives gang!! Currently scheming jonmartin week plans :3

Jane prentiss so effectively impersonating Martin over text clearly means one of three things:

-Martin didn't text very much so it'd be hard to judge whether it was his typing voice or not. (unlikely)

-Martin texts in such an unpredictable way that such a change of tone wouldn't be weird. (possible)

-OR, Jane Prentiss scrolled through all his texts giggling and kicking her legs at his pitiful yearning, and copied him like a teenager role-playing their favourite fictional queer. (most likely)

This is my favorite statement of the whole series, what’s your favorite?

Statement: Can you be haunted by the spider who ruined your childhood?

Jon: *haunted by the spider who ruined his childhood* This is bullshit. Never happened. Likely drugs. Nope. Next.

Im curious to know how your lonely au martin gets along with Tim and Sasha! Also wondering if things happen in a similar way to canon with the worms? 👀

Still absolutely feral over your art (i keep sharing it to my TMA server and people want to eat your art /pos)

Tim and Sasha adore Martin! He is the sturdy mother hen to their problem child dynamic. but when he is fed up with someone or lets loose enough to make sarcastic remarks they are ecstatic!! though they do worry that he isolates himself too often and appears to be too down on himself.

they are absolutely Martin's protection squad and have fully adopted him into their friend group.

and yes the worm situation still happens, but it's worse for Martin. I feel like the Corruption and the Lonely are very opposing forces, the Lonely is all about solitude and being alone while the Corruption often plays off of community, love and belonging. Which does not align with the Lonely at all. Martin wouldn't even be able to focus enough to escape into the lonely, not with Janes constant presence. Nor with the singing of her worms, trying to convince him to join them to make him a home. Fore how could one be lonely when the constant reminder of others threatens to burrow just beneath your skin.

He also gets trapped in his apartment for longer, since his fear would be just too enticing for Jane.

Martin, greeting everyone pleasantly as he enters the archives:

Jon, glowering from his office for no reason: I hate the sonofabitch.

[a-mag-meme-a-day]

[ALT text for last panel: "i am now woerm"] MAG 6 - Squirm I spent 20 minutes on this meme. like 15 of those were spent hand drawing EACH INDIVIDUAL WORM bc copy + pasting one single one over and over again wasn't looking right.

Thank you to the Lost In The Archives...Lonely discord server for giving me this prompt. (Yall can join this 14+ TMA/Mechs server here)

GOD

Can we talk about MAG 15 for like five seconds

Lost John’s Cave is objectively the most terrifying statement out of like…all of them

This is the hill I will die on

If I’m remembering correctly it’s like…….basically the only episode where Jon plays audio footage from the event itself

I remember listening to this episode for the first time at like 3am after falling asleep and waking up during it, half awake and scared out of my goddamn skin

Honestly forgot all about it up until last night wHEN THE SAME FUCKING THING HAPPENED

Like I know the joke within the tma fandom is like

“Hey are you afraid of this?”

“No”

“Would you like to be?”

But on god I never even considered the terrifying possibilities of going caving until listening to that episode

And now you could not pay me enough money to step into an underground cave system, much less one where I have to swim through little passageways

Legitimately I can’t think of another episode that genuinely sends chills up my spine.

But maybe I’ll discover some more on my relisten.
