#MAG 102

[future-crab]

It occurred to me today that the Magnus Archives is only 200 episodes long, which means that MAG 6 (the worm sex episode) and MAG 102 (the beetle wife episode) make the series fully 1% bug sex episodes by volume.

oh what's that i hear? draw tma fanart instead of doing homework that's a week late? great idea!!

[microclown]

I refuse to accept that Jon went to say "we" and then had to correct himself to "I" because Martin is gone...

Instead I'd like to believe Jon slips into French when he's stressed. And he is alright.

John in Mag 102: I can't just know things Elias that's crazy

John one statement later: Oh I know French now

[bitter-goodbyes]

IM FERAL OMG

Melanie King, final girl y mean lesbian certificada

Personalmente me imagino a Melanie amenazando a Jon con el cuchillo durante la escena de MAG102 cuando Jon evita que Melanie mate a Elias. Poniéndole el chuchillo en el cuello y eso. Pero me dio flojera dibujar a Jon en este dibujo así que no lo hice Jaj.

Muchas veces lo que más me inspira a dibujar es poder asociar un personaje determinado al que amo a una canción determinada que amo. En este caso, no podía sacarme de la cabeza la idea de Melanie con la letra de Take me to war de the crane wives :3

Este dibujo lo hice en un momento en que no estaba muy inspirada y por lo tanto espero que sepan disculpar que el shading y las proporciones sean incluso peores que de costumbre (no tiene cráneo básicamente Melanie acá lol)

Jon getting better at comforting Martin

Everyone was so mean to bug wife guy. He just loved his giant bug wife, he wasn't hurting anyone. Did not deserve to get burned alive.

101 days of learning French and I'm raging because I'll never understand it as well as Jonathan bastard Sims does by accident

[tumb1rprincess]

I'm still kind of reeling that Jon was stuck with Nikola for a month. A month. A month stuck in a creepy wax museum subjected to who knows what all while knowing they're just waiting to the right time to kill him. I'm surprised he hasn't completely lost it yet.

Elias's victim blaming makes my teeth grind. "Sorry I couldn't find you, you're fine, stop acting like a child." HE WAS STUCK THERE FOR A MONTH YOU ASSHAT!

Gotta give Melanie credit for trying, but jeez, she is not thinking her murder attempts through. And I know why she thinks this is Jon's fault, I know why she's reacting this way, but I just want to shake her and be like "Jon is just as trapped as you, what the hell are you thinking!?" Is Elias going to get fed up with her murder attempts though? I feel like eventually he's going to stop seeing them as amusing and Melanie's really going to get hurt once he gets to that point.

Never has the phrase "I don't speak French" held so much weight. Jon just knows things now thanks to his powers and now he can read statements in languages he doesn't know. He keeps changing and it's scaring the shit out of him. What other changes is he going to go through?

Thank God, he's making an effort to talk to Martin, even if it's awkward as hell. I really hope he keeps trying to talk to people. Like Georgie said, he needs those anchors, he's not alone. He just needs to reach out his hand, and if no one else, Martin will at least be there to take it. I'm hoping this is the start of more interactions between them. This ship was one of the few things I knew about this series before I even decided to watch it so I'm very excited to see it develop.

MAG 102 - my favourite lines from this episode

Elias: Jon -

Jon: Don't you DARE *slams desk* "Jon" me.

-

Elias: *sighs* Melanie is on her way up here with a knife. Could you talk to her for me?

Jon: wh- I - sorry, what?

-

Melanie: The police seem really keen not to investigate crimes committed here.

Elias: That's actually fair.

Jon: *exasperated* Shut up!

-

*Melanie slams door*

Elias: Thank you, Jon.

Jon: Shut up!

i don't- i don't speak french

i don't read- i've never

[beheldandcompelled]

There's nothing in this transcript that doesn't say that although Jon is pissed at Elias, he's still sitting in his lap. There's definitely nothing here to refute that with every counter Jon gives him, Elias is still running his fingers through his hair because he missed him. Jon's leaning into the touch, because he missed Elias too.

jon kicking his feet and giggling to martin about how nice his skin is during their first real conversation in s3 ???? GET UP, JON !!

I completely forgot that Michael’s statement, bug wife, and monster pig are Back To Back, like Jonny really popped off with those eps
