I Wanted To Practice Some Brushes, And Then I Went A Bit Too Far.

Some little dudes

It's been nearly 3 years since I did my fanart of Candentia's darkly, and now that she's reposting her fics I can once again show my appreciation to one of the best authors in the fandom. ...Maybe I'm a little excited to be able to show off how much I've improved since then as well

This is fanart for Where Hope and Reason Part, which I'll link in a reblog.

What do you think would Happen if there was halman and chelldos double date lol It would go absolutely horrible and awkward

Hi!! I hope it's okay if I add on to this! Your analysis around doors and choice in tma is so well written!

Your words also remind me of how doors in the magnus archives are somewhat representative as a death of self. Michael offering Jon an escape from the Stranger through death through his door. Michael transforming into Helen through his own door rejecting him. Elias opening the door to the archives to murder Jurgen leitner- effectively transforming the whole way we understand his character in the podcast. The same thing happens when he murders Gertrude, and our understanding of his identity changes once again.

Also, Jon visualizing his connection to the Eye through the medium of a door is especially interesting given the context of his trauma with Mr Spider's door. His fear of unbecoming -of the rest of his humanity drowning- under the weight of the Archivist behind his own door is really compelling under this lense! It gives this line so much more weight than it already has.

Thank you once again for your analysis. I shall be rotating it like a rat spinning to the hit song "free bird" in my head for the foreseeable future.

mag 81 - "a guest for mr spider" // mag 92 - "nothing beside remains"

a guest for mr spider is a top tier statement to me for a lot of reasons but the way it explains why jon is like That. his desire for answers is not a funny little protagonist quirk that dooms him or whatever, it exists because when he was eight he saw someone disappear behind a door, he was offered a mystery and then he spent the rest of his life chasing after answers, opening doors (elias is playing his victim blaming card over there because he's manipulated jon by denying him necessary information that Would've discouraged him from making a lot of those choices, like accepting the job! but he's also not lying). and doors in the podcast are a recurring symbol of separation of the mundane from the supernatural (it's also in the way every ritual speaks of metaphorically "opening a door"), jon's first fear mark involves him being traumatised (at a formative age. he was eight! something about the way that book was designed to attract a child is kind of vile to me, but why would the entities discriminate based on age?)—and traumatised in such a manner that it also cultivates in him a lifelong desire to seek out the supernatural. because he needs to know, something incomprehensible happened to him and he needs to understand. this doesn't mean he brought that all on himself, it's just another thing the podcast has to say about trauma and how it leaves its mark upon you (and in jon's case, tangibly. you are living a chronicle of terror)

Holy Smokes??? Thank you so much???

I'm really honored and happy that you like this fic enough to rec it and reread it?? I'm a blubbering mess asdfghjkl 😳💖💖💖

Fic Recommendation:

By @paptato on both ao3 and Tumblr!!

Is there anyone who HASN’T read this JonElias fic yet? Cause if not, you absolutely should.

It’s 6/? chapters and 24,422 words of absolutely amazing writing. It’s a time travel fic where Jon goes back in time to kill Jonah Magnus, but for some reason, *cough* spiders *cough*, he can’t seem to finish the job.

It’s hilarious and seeing Jonah get so jealous of Jon being nice to everyone other than him is a wonderful touch. I’m currently about to re-read this fic cause it’s definitely one of my favorites right now!!

Hi! Random mid-westener American here. The whole lemonade vs sprite thing is really confusing. But here's what Americans and south Asia (i think????) think is lemonade.

It's a home made drink made out of lemon juice, water, sugar and sometimes honey. It is pretty sour, yellow (sometimes pink) and not carbonated.

This is European lemonade

To people in america it just tastes like sprite. Its sweet, clear and carbonated. Its normally mixture between lime and lemon.

I know in German soda is called "lemonade" so I get were the confusion comes from.

But basically if it tastes like lemons and it's not carbonated its lemonade.

If it's a mixture of lime and lemon and its carbonated that's sprite .

one time i was in a pub in london and saw lemonade on the menu and i was like mmmm lemonade!!! but i’ve been to australia and been tricked before so i was like hey is this actual lemonade lemonade or is it just sprite and she was like it’s actual lemonade so i ordered some and she brought it back and it was sprite. i hate england
