The Fears

Pixel art for The Magnus Archives :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★ please don’t repost or edit  ｡･:*:･ﾟ’★ Available on redbubble and as cross stitch patterns on kofi!!

so tiktok is dead?? that’s where i mainly posted my art but now it’s screwed so i guess here i am? i haven’t used this site since i was a freshman so idk how this works but i’ll figure it out. but here. have this Jon fanart

🚪 magnus archives entities; THE SPIRAL.

fear of madness, that the world you know is wrong, that your mind is lying to you. Deception, gaslighting, hallucinations, maddening realms & impossible geometry.

Cry-laughing I really don't like the idea of calling them Jim

I cannot stop referring to JonTim (like the ship) as Jim in my head. Take Jon, take Tim, put ‘em together and BAM! whole new guy: ✨Jim✨. I actually think it’s kind of fucked up that this isn’t what we call the ship, and so I refuse to ship “JonTim” out of spite. I also think there should be more time travel fics centered around Tim, because then the time travel would be Tim(e) travel. I would like to make it clear that as I write this, I am stone cold sober.

.

So I’ve been on my re listen of the magnus archives

And something that I’m thinking about allot is the “I see you” line, the way it’s used as an anchor. You have the obvious and wel known season 4 lonely “I see you, Jon” but I want to talk about the one in season 3

Because I lost my absolute marbles hearing that line in the season 3 finale. It is Jon suddenly being able to anchor himself and recognising the situation around him, seeing through the stranger.

But the most import part, is how it relates to Tim. Tim has previously stated that he can only be sure Jon is real. He doesn’t trust anyone because anyone could be a stranger, but Jon, Jon is real to him, he knows Jon can’t just be magically replaced.. that’s Tim’s anchor, Jon.

This is THEIR “I see you” moment.

Jon helps Tim Anchor himself which makes him able to recognise the situation and save everyone.

The phrase “I see you” is used in every season finale now expect season 5 (I think?). I don’t know if I’ve fully figured out what that narrative through line means (especially in the case of Sasha) but god is it intresting. Especially cus it’s every member of the original crew that gets the line in some way

Yknow what I'm thinking of actually? I'm thinking of an au where Tim survives the Unknowing and becomes an avatar of the Desolation. But he doesn't come back to the Archives or the Institute. He's free, so why would he? No longer marked by the Eye. I do imagine him sitting by Jon in the hospital whenever someone wasn't there, leaving just in time to never be spotted. Being just out of sight to hear Jon wake up, to hear how devastated he is at the knews everyone thinks he's dead. But he still doesn't show his face. Because he's earned a break, time to figure out where he's going next and what he's going to do. So he does. Can't go back to his flat, can't go back to the Institute, so where does he go? [I'm so glad you asked] He goes to Sasha's old flat. One of the firm memories he has of her is where she lived, so he goes there. It's empty, seems like it has been since she died. He lives there for the duration if season 4, getting used to his new life, figuring out what it means for him. And deciding how(/if) he's going to reconnect.

And then the Eyepocalypse happens. And he's thrown into a wasteland of chaos and fear, but it can't hurt him. Because he's part of it now. He decides to set out to find Jon. Because if anyone knows what's going on, it's him.

Damn lighter is out of fluid.

“Your father was your last real anchor, wasn’t he?”

Hearing that line my mind thought of this…

@ultramarinaa I made more cat jmart Originals↓

Somme sketchens I did for a project that I ended up really disliking… sometimes stuff doesn’t go as planned, but that’s okay! I think most of these turned out super cute anyways so and I ended up liking the funky colors a whole lot!

Tim and Sasha deserved the world and more, and I will never stop being sad for the two of them… here they are being happy and wonderful together!

Yes my Sasha is taller than Tim, because I said so! Shot king and tall queen representation

Put on a show, funny man.

I just wanted to say if anyone says that jontim's shipname should be jim I will personally throw you off of a rollercoaster. (Kidding. But please that is a terrible name lol)

I need to know, has anyone come up with a clever nickname for the jontim ship? For jonmartin we have teaholding and jmart, for daisybasira we have daisira (could use some work honestly), and with melgeorgie we have wtgfs (what the girlfriends). Just to name a few examples.

Ooooohh okay like kayaking but with keye? How does the key represent Jon? (If you know)

I just need to say that your art and fics of the magnus archives have quite literally become my favorite pieces of fan media ever and I reconsume them constantly, your designs are the closest to what I pictured in my head, and the way you write them is simply perfect, not to mention the overwhelming skill you have in general. I lie in waiting to hopefully see more tma fanart from you again, but other than that I'm glad to see you're still drawing, keep doing you king :)

this is really sweet, thank you very much :')

tma emojis!!!

au timsasha & elias bouchard

i think the horror in Elias’ body being stolen isn’t just the fact that it’s stolen, but the fact that nobody cares. It’s feels like a step-up from the NotThem because at least with the NotThem everyone except one has the privilege of forgetting the real person- not with Elias, though. no. Everyone knew, including the audience, and nobody bothers to refer to Jonah as his real name. Instead of unknowingly forgetting, they’re doing so willingly.

Peter acknowledged the fact that Jonah steals bodies, he even knew him when he was James Wright, and still verbalised his choice to call him Elias. Gertrude knew, and possibly knew the actual Elias too, and still spat out the name Elias right before she died like it’s an insult. The audience is well aware, and yet it’s jonelias, not jonjonah. when it’s not lonelyeyes it’s peterelias, not peterjonah. Both in and out of the universe, the original Elias is gone.

Diversity win! The woman who got possessed by Liverpool Home is gay!

Hello tmagp fandom here are my arguments as to why jon died of heart problems:

his mom died of heart problems

look at that pile of stress like godsamn

he canonically has heart problems in tma!! cz he mentions it in his birthday tape when tim spooks him

metaphorically fits. heartbreak lol

also the mag200 stab

arguments as to why martin died in the bike:

imagine jon exercising ever

the car didn't NOTICE him they DIDNT SEE HIM COMING. MARTIN WAS NOT SEEN!!! MARTIN DIED BECAUSE NOBODY SAW HIM!!!!

i rest my case

you're laughing. the dead IT guy's hand got schlorped into the computer and you're laughing.

This is how I see Gwen Bouchard btw

FINALLY starting to work on my protocol designs. dyhard i would do anything for you.

Wanted to redraw the lineup but never did o7

Dyhard is at its peak when Gwen is desperate for Alice's respect and Alice couldn't give less of a fuck about Gwen if she tried

The only thing that could make this better is if Gwen asked what Alice thinks of her and Alice said "I don't"

system update.

Alice Dyer sketch in celebration of season 2 releasing tomorrow :3

dyhard but make them bubbline

she really likes mocha :3

-> alice

what an icon <3

-> gweeeeeen~
