why do you like jonelias? i hope this doesnt come out as rude but i was just wondering, bc i never really saw them as a good couple when i was listening to tma so it surprises me that people ship them. i dont have a problem with it, im just curious. love all ur art btw!!!

Thanks! Also not rude at all!!! Thank you for asking i love any excuse to talk abt one of my fav ships >:]

The short and simple answer is that i like villains and i like messy bad relationships lol. I also really like their interactions in canon, like they’re just funny together. They’re both kinda posh British men who are very prim and proper but they have these snappy little arguments that are just so cute aldkfja. Elias going “oh don’t be so dramatic jon” is never not funny to me. Also when elias says moments later that he wouldn’t be able to replace jon so easily and jon instantly straightens up and is like “…well thank you” is so cute aldfjka. Oh oh also the bit where elias asks jon to defend him from melanie then goes “thank you jon” all sincere only to be immediately shut down aldfjasdkfj its great. There’s also an air of jon wanting to impress elias early in s1 that is very endearing.

Also just like, all the drama and horror and manipulation, like its so dramatic. Like obviously this is where the interpretive side of it comes in, but i love elias like, religiously worshiping jon. By the end of it, they’ve forged this connection that only they share, and whether jon likes it or not, elias understands him where his mortal friends can’t. It’s like, two people corrupting each other and falling farther away from their humanity, its just so isolating and sad. I think that’s at the core of what i like about the ship, its sad. Like its completely doomed no matter how you look at it —elias will never love jon more than he fears death and worships his god, and jon will never willingly give up his empathy to follow elias (unless you’re going super bad end which hey I’m here for it) even if he loves him. Like the idea that maybe if everything was different, then maybe they could’ve been happy, aaaaaa its so sad :’|

Also Elias’s last words to jon being “good luck” as he bleeds out from the stab wounds jon just inflicted on him aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! god the drama of it all!!! Just tell him you love him already this is embarrassing!!!!!

…Anyway this got long oops lol. I’m gonna close by saying i know there are people who don’t like it and i toooootally get why and i think they have every right to avoid it like the plague. I’m full heartedly here for respecting everyone’s boundaries 💕

Hey everyone! So after thinking it over for a while, I decided I wanted to host a very casual week-long event celebrating one of my favorite ships, jondaisy!

This is a chance for anyone interested in Jon and Daisy’s relationship to create and share new art, writing, or something completely different! Whether it be focused on their unexpected friendship, or something beyond the realm of canon. Platonic, romantic, whatever you like - barring hateful content, everything is more than allowed and greatly encouraged.

From July 19th to July 25th, two prompts and one theme will be offered up as inspiration. For a description of the above image and a list of all the prompts:

Monday - Cravings / Support // Fluff

Tuesday - Partner / Secret // Angst

Wednesday - Surrender / Touch // Sexuality

Thursday - Scars / Pressure // Gender

Friday - Collapse / Regret // Common AU

Saturday - Monster / Chance // Niche AU

Sunday - Blood / Quiet // Free Space

As stated above, this is intended to be a pretty casual thing, so all hosting will be done here on my personal TMA blog. If you post and share any work you do, I’d suggest tagging the work as #jondaisy-week or #jaisy-week, and I’ll make sure to check and reblog whatever is made! I’ll also tag them so they can be searched on my blog!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message~

“I believe the general consensus around the Institute is that I’m quite boring,” Elias says mildly. He must immediately see in Jon’s expression that it is, in fact, the general consensus – at least from what he’s gathered from the Researchers team – because his lips curl up ever so slightly, eyes crinkling in the process. “I’m neither surprised nor offended,” he adds, like he’s being kind to Jon. “I’m their boss and quite an old man.”

At this, Jon actually rolls his eyes. “Right,” he says sarcastically. “No way to connect with the youth in your grand old age of – what, fourty-five? Fifty?”

Elias’ smile deepens. “You flatter me, Jon.”

He actually sounds amused, and Jon cannot resist. “Fifty-five?”

“At my age, we don’t count the years anymore,” Elias retorts, eyes bright.

Jon takes it exactly for what it is: a challenge. Elias won’t tell him – but he’s assuming Jon will find out anyway. It’s a ridiculously easy challenge; in this day and age, your birth date is hardly a difficult information to find. But it thrills him all the same. And even if somehow Elias had made it harder to gather, well, Jon’s a researcher. He could ask Sasha and he knows he won’t.

“They’re wrong, anyway,” he says, impulsively.

Elias raises his eyebrows. “About what?”

“You’re not boring,” Jon says. “Nobody else in this Institute knows as much as you do about… everything.”

It was incredibly rare, Jon had found, to catch Elias by surprise. He’d only managed once or twice before, and even then he wasn’t certain Elias hadn’t pretended to be surprised more than anything. Right then, though, something crosses Elias’ eyes, sharp and fleeting, that roots Jon to his chair.

“…Thank you, Jon,” Elias says, a bit too late. His voice has significantly softened, and something too warm creeps up Jon’s collar. “You most definitely are a very interesting man yourself.”

every group of occult scholars is just *guy whose organs are filled with eyeballs* *morally questionable medical professional* *the one who knows too much* *dude who owes you money (and refuses to pay you back)* *socially inept*

Martin: I’m sorry I got jealous over Oliver and Helen. That’s not a great trait to have.

Jon: It’s okay. Actually, is it wrong I find it a little endearing?

Martin: Really? Ha. Well, either way, I’ll try to chill out a little bit.

Jon: For the best. I can’t imagine you giving Georgie or Gerry a hard time going well.

Martin: Ha. Yeah, no that’s not going to happen. Georgie is lovely-Wait.

Martin: Jon?

Martin: Hey, JON?

Jon: What?

Martin: Who the fuck is Gerry? Are you talking about Gerard Keay?

Jon: … Yes?

Martin:

Martin: Jon, did you kiss a ghost?

Jon:

Martin: Jon. You legally have to tell me if you kissed a ghost or else this is entrapment!

Melanie: Why are you yelling? What’s going on?

Martin: Jon kissed a ghost!

Jon: No! That’s not what happened! We were just friends! Nothing came from it!

Melanie:

Melanie: Okay fuck killing Magnus this is all I care about now. Tell me literally everything.

Don’t worry, Jon, you’ll get used to it here, in the world that we have made

Jon still has long hair after The Unknowing because Elias bribed the nurses into not cutting it.

He's willing to sacrifice a lot for his Archivist's Becoming, but not that. Not those beautiful locks.

TMATOBER day 4: the eye

Some pre-archivist, Eldritch abuse of managerial power, because its my favorite

[ID: text: “Test, test.  You work as an assistant in the archives of the Magnus Institute, London, an organisation dedicated to academic research into the esoteric and the paranormal.  It’s not a bad job. Weird, as are your coworkers each in their own ways, but you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t have a bit of a taste for that. Your name is…” Followed by a link to “start playing”.]

Plus the only artist I can think of who does draw Jon as fat, @Saj_who on Twitter also gets a bunch of crap for their headcanon not matching up with the general fandom headcanon.

i know i cant shut up about this, but im seriously sick of seeing thin jons and i think part of the reason is the fandom wide insistence on “hot jon (rights)” and like ! okay so why are all your “hot” jons thin, huh ?

[the-nottea-was-tentacles]

Thinking about changing this blog from a horny Tma blog into just a Tma blog. I mean it’s not like I actually ever write explicit stuff.

[the-nottea-was-tentacles]
