losing my mind what do you mean martin is canonically Down Bad for jon? and jon is canonically ace? these were casually confirmed in the span of like 30 seconds? i thought those were just the typical in-denial fanbase headcanons, they're REAL?!?

There is some so insanely heartbreaking to me about Jonathan Sims and the way the statements were recorded. They were all originally handwritten which is such a very human thing, using your own flesh and blood write something down, just the amount of effort and emotion that goes into that. And then Jon had to digitize them using a tape recorder, definitely a lot less human as it’s now batteries and tape but still human enough since it’s using his voice. And now he’s fully inhuman, robotic, stuck in a computer, where there used to be blood and skin and bone there is now plastic and wires and a screen.

I’m currently studying funeral services and in my embalming textbook it talks about how one woman phrased it like “a dead body is an object, but it is an object unlike any other object, cannot be like any other object, because this object used to be alive” and I really like that, it feels comforting, it feels human. Jon doesn’t get this though, he was terrified of being inhuman and he doesn’t even get to be human in this “somewhere else” he doesn’t get to be an object that used to be alive, he is just an object, like a pencil that wrote down the original statements, or the tape recorder that used to record them, and now the computer.

Inktober/Whumptober day 9: Obsession

Had to draw Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives, there wasn't another choice. He litterally obsessed himself into and eyepocolypse because he couldn't let the spooks alone.

Un resumen de mí año.

De mis obsesiones del año. Todas tiene que ver con casettes y cintas y grabadoras. Muy nostálgico todo.este dibujo lo empecé en agosto.

• do not repost, use or steal my art •

👁️Jonathan Sims / The archivist. The Magnus archives:

Le puse camperita náutica a Jon porque es el capítulo en el que está en un barco con basira y "se encuentran" con un flaco que laburaba para salesa que les cuenta cómo consiguió salesa la cámara de fotos (aka MAG 141). Also la pose es rara pero se supone que se está apoyando con el brazo en una baranda atrás, hay que usar un poco de imaginación.

⚔️Camilla Hect/ Palamedes Sextus. The locked Tomb:

I really like how Camilla turned out but also it's my first time drawing her because I've just been obsessively drawing griddlehark all year. I couldn't give her the arm muscles she deserved tho.

🧛‍♂️. Young Daniel Molloy. Interview with the vampire:

I hate how Daniel turned out but I couldn't just exclude him lol.

Also un poco me molestaba el ruido de fondo así que agregue una slide con los personajes sobre fondo blanco. Los casettes están semitraceados de una foto porque necesitaba que fueran bonitos y simétricos.

So those lost tapes, huh?

I know they're not actually jonmartin but that's all I can hear

[myquietsafehaven]

Possibly an unpopular take but here it is.

If I was in Jon’s position I’d be a bitch to Martin season one too.

Dude comes in with more credentials, years of experience, and was picked specifically by my boss who I respect. Then proceeds to show none of the skills he is expected to have and in fact seems to be the least competent of everyone in the Archives.

I would 100% believe he was fucking up on purpose and respond accordingly.

Like maybe it’s the autism and imposter syndrome combo that I embody but Hanlon’s Razor is hard to prescribe in such a circumstance.

Also I prefer Grey’s Law: Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

So yeah I’m a firm believer in the ‘Jon was a bitch in season one but you know what fair,’ stance.

society if knowledge and secrets (the Eye) vs. narrative and meaning (the Web) wasn’t presented as a strict dichotomy where one Fear alone developed the ability to Think but rather our amorphous blob of terror being an exploration of epistemology and metafiction. society if there was at the very least an actual discussion of the Spider’s desire to proliferate in and feed on infinite realities being the same hunger that drove Jonah Magnus and how they both deified the same man over it, making him the site of violence in this cosmic struggle between fate and free will.
