With Nastya not having a death in DTTM... And the whole mechanisms running on belief.... She never stopped believing she was immortal.

Nastya finds Brian's body first, and she's certain he's just glitching, just stuck in some sort or statis.

She doesn't think he's dead, because the more logical explanation here is that somehow he ended up in space, and its been awhile. Clearly it's a mix between the trauma he already has from space and the harsh environment, and if she fixes him, he'll wake up.

That's how it's always worked.

And that's how it does.

He wakes up gasping and wheezing, gears spinning to life as his heart continues to best beat beat

He explains everything to her, but he's alive, his gears are spinning, and he figures he was never really dead.

The new truth is they can come close to dying, but never cross that line.

They can brush against death, but never sink into it.

Someone will always wake them up.

The first time it was the doctor for many of them, and with their shared belief that they arnt actually dead, the second they are torn into the living by Brian and Nastya, and whoever for up before them.

The universe has more stories for them to tell, and the lull in belief was just a new arc of their tales.

They wake up Jonny last, because no one is sure they really should, a long time after the others.

Ashes brings up he only got so truely desperate to die after Nastya left, gestures at Nastya, who shrinks a bit.

Tim remarks that he forgave Jonny got being selfish and bringing him back once already, and honestly its just fucking karma.

But since they all believe themselves immortal, that they cannot die. Only come tantalizingly close (exept the ever doubtful Marius) they believe that they will wake up from this. They believe that Jonny will wake up from this.

So Jonny's hand breaks through the dirt of his grave, and a particularly pissed off Jonny D'ville drags himself from the earth. "Why the fuck did you assholes let them bury me?"

As I already said somewhere on tt: "And on this episode of 'Jonah Magnus' "vaguely" homoerotic correspondence' we have..."

I don't want a friend group, give me whatever Jonah Magnus had going on with everyone simping for him.

I'm late for the thursday, but not for the crying.

It's Thursday, you know what that means! *Cries over a podcast that ended weeks ago*

Ah yes, my favorite director, Alexander "no one wants to see an office romance" Newall and my favorite writer, Jonny "let's gouge out our eyes and make out" Sims.

hey gang here’s a jm animatic that i started this summer and never got around to finishing. it was my first time attempting anything like this (and it probably shows lol) but i had a lot of fun working on it and since im not sure i’ll ever finish i figured i might as well post it now!!

happy new year everybody

Here it is!! My Tma season 5 Curses animatic that i’ve had in my head for 4 months!!!!!! (Major spoiler warnings for episodes 161 to 189). I’m rlly proud of how this turned out and also that I managed to finish it before the last ep airs so it’s like my one big love letter to season 5. In any case! Please enjoy!!!

martin "I have had to lie about much of my life in order to get by and at some point I just started adding stuff for fun" blackwood and sasha "there's no such thing as a true self, it's masks all the way down" james and jon "well if people get funny when they find out my age then I'll just tell them a fake one from the off" sims sharing a workplace with tim "what the hell is wrong with you people" stoker must have been a treat

hey! do you like martin blackwood? are you interested in keeping biodiversity within the tma ecosystem (if you know you know)?

well let me introduce you to my handy dandy list of artists who draw martins of color!

i scrolled through the martin blackwood tag. i bled for this. i made it alphabetized. and categorized on race if you want specific representation. for you. from me. heres a just a little list if youre like me, a person of color who just really likes representation and projects a lil too much on martin. or if you just like martins of color. or if you just like martin. or if youre put off by how racist the tma fandom can be and just need some good content. or if you like saving the (tma) ecosystem. or if youre all of the above. (im all of the above.)

ofc, lmk any changes that need to be made! please. idk for some. also lmk if you want to be added. please. begging.

the actual list is not that long but is going under a readmore bc this post is already long with my theatrics. click to see moc (martins of color).

Continua a leggere

curb your office romance.

guess who decided to animate and color 2 minutes and 50some seconds of MAG 200? that’s right baby. I’m going to be working on this one for a while, but I finished the animatic, so enjoy the wip.

Commission me 💛 ko-fi 💛 inprnt

The idea that Lyfrassir joins the Mechanisms after TBI is so funny because that would mean that Jonny continues to play someone who is right there.

Lyf goes to every show, as their manager, and just awkwardly stands in the crowd while Jonny fucking d'Ville pretends to be them and absolutely nails it.

new TBI headcanon: jonny, tim, ashes and brian were sharing the cell right next door. lyfrassir chose not to speak to them because there’s nothing in the universe that would make that experience worth it

Ragnarok III: Strange Meeting in a nutshell

Loki: Where you headed?

Thor: Gonna kill Odin with this hammer I found, you?

Loki: Gonna kiss my wife.

Both: *give the other a thumbs up as a sick-ass guitar solo plays*

Okay we all talk about Martin being a Mechs fan but consider: Melanie’s the fan.

She adores their music. Angry lesbians, hell yeah. Goes to a bunch of their concerts. Really loves Natsya and Ashes, but has a secret glaringly obvious soft spot for Jonny D’Ville, asshole supreme. She decidedly doesn’t like a one Jonathan Sims.

Cue Georgie mentioning off-hand one night that hmm, is that a Mechs song? And Melanie is excited, because a gf who’s a fan? Double win. Then Georgie mentions that Jon was in the band in college, and Melanie just...bluescreens.

Playlists can be a coping mechanism 🚶🚶🚶

SOMEWHERE IN JONNY’S MIND IS A 17 EPISODE MAGNUS ARCHIVES OFFICE ROMCOM AND GODDAMMIT IVE NEVER WANTED MIND READING POWERS MORE

Jon was raised by his grandmother, and seems like he was always a bit of an old soul. Probably talked a lot like a old fashioned gentleman.

It seems that people were annoyed by his questions, but Jon also really enjoys hearing answers! He wants to learn from people, hear their stories. He will sit and listen to what you want to say.

This is a very particular type of child, and Jon probably got on far better with older adults than his peers. What I’m saying is that the grandmothers in Bournemouth loved him.

Jon was probably just so cute! A tiny little gentleman that wants to talk to you for hours and listens carefully to your stories. Jon probably learned skills from them too. Just imagine tiny Jon squinting down at fabric, carefully stitching, then proudly holding it up for inspection.

Once every few months a flock of little old ladies on a trip to London come into the Magnus Institute and herd Jon away for lunch.

Tim makes a joking comment about Jon and there’s just a flurry of “how could you say that about such a nice young man!” And Jon’s just smirking behind them.

On the way out the others hear them asking about interpersonal Institute drama and Jon is like “oh your not going to believe this...” Because people know that Jon doesn’t care about gossip and will say anything around him. Actually, Jon loves knowing things but he’s using his reputation to get the juiciest stuff to share. And you know the ladies have shocking and amazing gossip as well.

Eric: I can’t really emote anymore.

Eric, 30 seconds later and audibly disgusted: Elias Bouchard????

Gertrude: James is dead Elias Bouchard is the new head of the Magnus Institute

Eric Delano, who’s caught Elias hotboxing in Artifact Storage on more than one occasion: 

[(laughing nervously) What the fuck?]

I love these fics to death but all of the TMA Time Travel fics are like

Past version of themselves: you’re from the future?

Archivist!Jon: Elias is haunted

Past versions: what?

Archivist!Jon: *loading a pistol and heading to Elias’s office* Elias is haunted

Another very dumb TMA AU/fic prompt.

I’ve seen fics where Elias’s next planned body is Tim and I just had the thought that if this was the case then Elias would need to set up paper trial and everything saying Tim’s the next head of the institute.

So what if Elias accidentally gets knocked into a coma or something (to busy plotting his next evil speech in his head and falls down the stairs or something dumb like that) and he’s out of it so they check to see whose in charge next…and it’s TIM.

No one knows why, Sasha, Jon and Martin are going out of their mind because Tim? He picks Tim? What? Why?

Tim also very confused but just decides to roll with it.

This leads to either A) Tim finding out about all the fears and everything and archive crew stopping everything from happening and saving the day or

B) Tim doesn’t find out but somehow still manages to stop everything! Just through sheer dumb luck, weird business choices (most of which are part of his scheme to set Martin and Jon up so he can win the betting pool) ect.

Just no one finding out about any of fears but still stopping all of them.

The Lukases can’t interfere because Tim is so social he scares them.

Once Elias wakes up he sees hundreds of years of planning fucked up by Tim.

Elias: HOW COULD YOU NOT STOP HIM??

Peter: HE JUST KEPT TALKING ABOUT KAYAKING! RETREAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION.

the martin 'knife' blackwood jokes hit a little different now

there’s something therapeutic about imagining a broadway-style curtain call at the end of magnus. tim and sasha appear from each side of the stage to wave at the audience, sasha holding not!sasha’s hand. elias and peter bow deeply in unison. michael and helen poke each other playfully with their long fingers and pop in and out of different doors before disappearing. gerry comes onstage in a flurry of papers and brings eric and mary with him. annabelle is lowered onto the stage from a hanging platform like a diva to thunderous applause. simon and mike crew hoot and wave at the audience from a high platform and pop away simultaneously when the spotlight turns off. nikola and jane swing each other in a wild dance that makes the stage shake. gertrude appears alone and does an elegant curtsey. daisy+basira and melanie+georgie appear together, arms linked, and all four do a bow together. finally, after everything has quieted down, jon and martin appear from either side, and as the curtain falls, they join hands.

mikaele really said no <3 

Mike crew and Simon fairchild meet once on an airplane and it goes like this

Mike: *throws someone off the plane so that they are falling for all eternity*

Simon: hey I was gonna do that. Who are u?

Mike: I'm Mike, I work for the vast. Who are u?

Simon: I'm simon and I work for the vast

Mike: wait if I work for the vast and u work for the vast, then who's flying this plane?

Simon and Mike both laugh hysterically as the plane begins to experience severe turbulence. The passengers all scream.

Mike Crew: No more than 5′ tall. 

Simon Fairchild: “Tiny, pink skeleton of a man.”

So what I’m saying is all Vast avatars are tiny and are compensating by having their huge endless patron. 

As a would-be avatar of the Vast I feel this in a spiritual way.

ever think about how vast avatars are just like. really short. just so fucking small in every way. imagine walking into a fairchild family gathering and absolutely everyone’s 5′0 or under. these seriously tinyass people just love flying through the air because they like to feel tall. like weenie dogs on the kitchen counter of the universe. they take the “how’s the weather up there” joke and just make it into a threat. they look at somebody who clears 6′ ft and feel the need to fling them into an unforgiving void because tall people don’t have the chops to get out of it. do you want to know what the weather is like up here. fuck with me and find out.

The Vast: Hey, wouldn't it be great if we collaborated and built a space station to send humans to and see how much we can fuck with them?

The Dark: Lmao, that's fucking hilarious, let's do it.

The Lonely, pointing at Carter Chilcott: I'm calling dibs on that one

can u imagine if elias just assumed jon didn’t return martin’s affections and was all “do you want to know what jon sees when he looks at you” to try to hurt martin in s3 and ended up just projecting all of jon’s secret affection right into martins head
