gay people can't flirt normally they gotta do some shit like hat sharing
for the past several years now i've been telling myself that This Is The Year i buckle down and learn how to draw kissies but like fuck it This is the year
stock photos used! these were all partially traced for big/rough shapes and partially referenced; the further along i got, the more i referenced rather than tracing. kisses have been a thorn in my side for ages because i have such a hard time wrapping my head around the combined 3/4-away-from-viewer angle + tilted toward/away-from-viewer angle but even in this handful of sketches i found myself needing to like, figure out the angles less and less as i went. it's almost like intentionally practicing a thing makes you better at it. fucking crazy if true.

TMA Season 4!
What a CRIMINAL way to end the season, holy SHIT!
Now I understand why Iāve seen so many artists do scar maps of Jon, it really did all come together in the end. And the way Elias, or Jonah, really, orchestrated it all with the cherry on top of giving Jon a false statement that he couldnāt stop himself from reading; truly the master plan. The words for the Watcherās Crown ritual itself were very cool, just the right amount of nonsensical almost-rhyming to make it flow nicely.
And the fact that three of the most iconic TMA quotes/moments happen so close together near/at the end of season four is WILD; I was not expecting all of that! First we got āWhere are his eyes?ā āWhere theyāve always been, Martin. Watching over my institute.ā THEN āLook at me Martin, what do you see?ā āI see⦠I see you, Jon. I see you!ā and to wrap it all up āJonā¦?ā āLook at the sky, Martin! Itās looking back!ā *maniacal, distorted laughter.* Absolutely insane place to leave off. (Also the bonus of Jon using his named attack of āI see you!ā on Peter Lukas).
I canāt forget Basira and Daisy, either. Their story is so good, I love me some tragic yuri. (Although for their sakes I hope it gets less tragic tbh; I want them to be happy š„ŗ). But Iām not that hopeful, considering we got ~2 minutes of Jon and Martin being content at the safe house before things really went to shit. At least Melanie got away, sheās been through so much. And Iām happy she got together with Georgie, thatās so sweet š„¹
The Extinction and the fact that new fears can emerge was an interesting plot thread for this season, both for how it fit with larger events and how it gave us a new kind of spook. I liked the hunger-world amusement park one the most, I kept thinking about it when I went to the fair myself the other day. I also noticed there were more episodes where it wasnāt 100% clear which fear entity was behind the statement, or even that there were multiple involved. Like with āA Gravediggerās Envyā, it could be both The Buried and The End. It was fun to see how the fear entities could be mixed and matched, then of course to find out how that aspect, too, fits into the big-picture meta-plot. After having episodes with this type of spook, it makes more sense how no ritual can succeed if it tries to separate one fear entity from the others.
Season four tied up a lot of loose ends and got the official statements of big names that have been lurking around since season one, like Simon Fairchild, Annabelle Cane, Adelard Dekker, Peter Lukas, and of course Jonah Magnus himself. Personally, Iāve been wondering about the statement of Mr. Paul MacKenzie and which fear entity was responsible for his demise since season one, so Iām glad we got the statement of his son so far down the line to say āSpiralā for certain.
I canāt believe Iām already about to start season five, this has gone too quick!!
TMA season 1 finale!
Just finished listening to season one of tma! Holy shit!! I was not expecting Sasha to get replaced/distorted so soon. (Yes, sadly Iāve been spoiled by the beautiful fanart). I wonder if weāll ever get the real Sasha back⦠It will be interesting to see what Not!Sasha does and if anyone figures out somethingās wrong. Doesnāt help that I couldnāt understand which artifact Sasha said she found right before it happened. That mightāve been on purpose though, idk.
And omggg Jon is beginning his descent into madness disguised as a quest for knowledge! š I love how they set up his paranoia for next season, itās understandable but I also suspect heās gonna accidentally hurt people who care about him.
Speaking of!!! As of season oneās ending, I think the jonmartin ship is still one-sided with Jon being oblivious to Martinās feelings. Iām sure itāll get worse before it gets better.
I might make an actual pin board for tma S1, I really might. For now I have tumblr lol.
P.S. I really like Tim, heās silly. He should burst through drywall Koolaid Man-style more often.
