wishing all artists a very sincere "get weirder with it" this coming year
Me looking at my phone screen right before reblogging every single one of my friend’s posts
Does everyone enjoy my Gwendolyn Bouchard? I love Gwendolyn Bouchard
genuinely how it feels trying not to be mean to people who leave stupid shit on my posts
You know that post about drawing characters who die with scars from the way they died? Arthur's kinda already got that several times over by now, but after this latest death, is he just gonna like, have a whole network of scars tracing between every limb and beyond, like a patchwork quilt
If you ask me what my favorite part about the magnus archives is I would say it’s the characterization. Not a single character is one dimensional. Martin, the lighthearted almost comedic relief character, the guy who had a crush on his boss and brought the guy tea like every day was the most pragmatic character in the end. He escaped prentiss and prepared for her attack, outsmarted Peter Lucas, got HIMSELF out of the lonely, and he always, without fail, knew the harsh reality of every situation. Jonathan sims aka the archivist is shown to be a grumpy, gloomy, and all around skeptical person, but his actions don’t reflect that. He desperately digs for answers, refuses to ask himself questions before running into dangerous situations, and he’s such a hopeless romantic. The man with every fact or hard truth in the book likes to imagine he might be good.
It’s the same in the magnus protocol
Alice is funny and carefree, she jokes and talks without thinking, she likes to tell people they are doomed, likes to joke about the bleakness of life, but it’s so obvious she believes in something brighter. Or she at least believes in loving the people around you to the point where at her lowest she manages to pick herself up by the boot straps and LEARN. Her friends are dead or gone and all she can think about is finding out how to fix it, forward motion. Celia is complex specifically in her feelings. She doesn’t seem to regret throwing Sam to the wolves necessarily, but she’s scared for him, guilty. Her guilt eats her alive even if she would have done the same thing again, for her baby, for her life. Gwen is interesting because through every single one of her arrogant, snobby, “I’m better than you”s, she never ever believes it. She might think she’s better, might reach for power, claw her way to the top, but does she ever actually think she’s better? Would she ever have the confidence in herself to ask for help, she is stuck in a limbo state where she wants to be separate from everyone but can’t help but to seek their company, even when it’s clear she isn’t even welcome.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, none of this makes any sense, I’m gonna fall asleep now.
I got bored at work and remembered this reblog, I HAD to sketch it
I can’t stand some Arther Lester designs, not because they aren’t good or the drawings are bad, but because they all look like my debate coach. The other day I saw one and had to do a double take because it was literally just my teacher MY WHOLE ASS TEACHER but with a few scars. I fear this fandom is a prison 👹👹👹
Antoine watching Arthur yell at thin air about his health
Yes super sonic, I will go to sleep, thank you for your wisdom 😍😍
(Thx pookie, but I’m already better, I just like late night posting and waking up to the damage a few hours later. It’s always a fun little surprise!)
Mmmmmm yes…. The voices…. The voices are telling me to dig! I just dig a hole! And jump in! And never come out! Then I’ll never have to pay taxes or car insurance!
