Jonah Magnus seemed to receive two types of letters

1. Hello friend I recently experienced something sinister and since you have that funky institute of yours, I thought you’d like to hear it

and

2: NO JONAH WE CAN’T KEEP HOOKING UP, but here have an account of my experience with something horrific, DON’T CONTACT ME AGAIN

I’ve had this idea for a while I’m glad I finally did it

The thing about watching TMA is that you spend 200 episodes being told that Jon's fatal flaw is his inability to "turn a blind eye" from anything, and yet, when you hear about a women who wakes up in a fresh grave on her every birthday, you, like Jon, want to hear that story too.

You (or otherwise known as the audience) know just as well as Jon that by taking statements he loses a bit of humanity and dooms the statement giver to relive their trauma every night in their sleep. But... that knowledge is tempting. It's so hard not to want to know. I mean, which birthday did it start? Which entity causes it? How does the statement giver feel about what's happening to her? You want to know so many things, despite understanding that's all for worst.

I think the point of TMA is that audience IS Jon to a certain degree. I think we're supposed to be just as bad as he is when it comes to the pursuit of understanding and knowledge, even when it's something that should be left alone. And the moment in the screenshot above is when I first had that thought, because when I first saw this conversation I went "Is he not going to elaborate on her story? That's kind of disappointing. I would have loved to get a full statement on that." Only to realize "Oh. Yikes. That's the exact same mindset that has lead Jon to this point."

To Sannikov Land, which does not exist and never has.

finally FINALLY done with this animatic. I did it with a lot of love, hope you guys like it as much as I do! also shout out to @gaynaturalistghost I used her daisy!monster design

This is so Jonathan Sims

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

[Audio ID: edited clips from The Magnus Archives and Magnus Protocol.

ELIAS: I warned you, Peter. GWEN: I thought you’d want to see this. It’s really quite amusing, actually. ELIAS: He played you like a… like a cheap whistle. GWEN: I’m in charge now. You heard. Lena’s been let go on multiple counts of negligence, incompetence, possibly even corruption. (Elias and Gwen’s laughter overlap. The Mr. Bonzo Theme begins playing in the background) (computer beep) /end ID]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Looking forward to Protocol Season 2!

jon gets tipsy off a couple sips of red wine and martin has to carry him around like a sack of potatoes

"your gender is what is in your pants"

me, pulling out a fanart of jonathan sims: yippie!!

“It’s very important to me you understand that no action I have taken has been controlled. I have done everything because I wished to.”

So.

I listened to one episode of tma last night.

Guess the episode based on how insane I went:

Time has stopped. I listen to one episode of this and suddenly all time stops. What do you mean it’s only been an hour? What do you mean that just being reminded of them turns my inner voice into theirs? Into his?

My mind tries to fill itself with static to maybe rid itself of his voice. Of their voices. Go back to what it once was. But it won’t. There’s no going back on a promise that you shouted out to the world. The voices of the people inside this glowing rectangle in my hands will be waiting. Each day I will go back and each day I march closer and closer to oblivion. I have his speech pattern down to a t. I have the voices tuned like the ones in the machine, able to be twisted and distorted, but never truly being mine.

The music itself is trying to drown it out. But it won’t. It knows the voice. Any time it is mentioned, it shudders. There is a dread behind it all. That it will end. Each day I listen, I walk ever closer to oblivion. I walk into the open arms of death, of life, of chaos, of fear. This whole ordeal, this monologue, spoken through the mouth of a man who has no control over his mind once a tape begins to play, all spawned from something simple. A set of six voices. The Book Burner. The Catalyst. The Replaced. The Ignition. The Lost. The Archivist. Six voices, a creaking cabin that threatens to swallow them whole, a world slick with the blood and choking cries of the survivors, and an ever so invasive god peering down and watching it all. He may not know it, but something exists beneath his skin. A power that wants to be released. If one misstep occurs, if anything goes wrong, the shell will burst. And nothing will be able to stop what emerges. Not even the one who raised the larvae, and prepared the resting bed for the cocoon. He too will be forced to face the monster he has created. But that can wait.

58 days. Maybe less. But no matter how long it takes, it will continue. And it will end. As I march, ever forward, toward oblivion.

this is part 1 [part 2] Happy TMAnniversary haha the song is  A Complete List of Fears Ages 5-28 (Aprox) by The Yellow Dress I really love this podcast so so much. I just finished it like a month ago and it still lives in my brain so i just had to do a little tribute

Not to beat a dead horse, but the naming conventions in the Magnus Archives are truly delightful. Jonny really said, “Here’s a cast of fascinating characters! Their names are:

My actual full legal name

The first names of my friends + the last names of famous horror writers

Michael (x4)

They all die horrible deaths :)”

it's been a hot minute since I've drawn the canon cast

art block is unforgiving so i keep making non-stop shitposts (because that’s the only thing i’m willing to draw)

i used dan hentschel’s youtube thumbnails for reference by the way

+ happy pride

[ID: A greyscale drawing of Martin Blackwood as a selkie. He is a fat white man with short hair and round glasses. He is sitting on a rock pulling his seal skin coat around himself. He is unclothed from the shoulders up. His hair blows in a strong wind, and his face is scrunched up in dissatisfaction. There are squiggles drawn around him to indicate that he is shivering. Waves splash up around him. There is a second smaller drawing in the top corner of a very sleepy looking seal wearing glasses. An arrow pointing from Martin from the seal indicates that this is him in his seal form. End ID.]

straigbt up "under it" and by "it" well lets jusr say, my blankeys

If I ever get an autism diagnosis I blame it on Jonny Sims because my TMA and Mechanisms obsession isn't funny anymore

Wait hang on, I just realized TMA is horror because you, the listener, are part of Beholding. You are the being beyond. You're literally part of the story because they all feel watched and listened, and you're the one doing the listening.

I have more thoughts on this but don't know how to articulate them

I was gonna make a joke about how I say “I need to go the circus again” the way people used to say they need to go to the sea to balance their humors. But I realized the circus balances humors too
