#MAG176

[hacemorra-death-gremlin]

The M in Martin stands for Monsterfucker

Workin' on my own "Jon goes through physical changes in each of the domains" thing but making all of the changes the absolute WORST possible. Dunno how understandable my sketches are, but thought the Tumblr crowd might appreciate The Hunt! Me rambling under the cut

The Hunt is supposed to be less of just "RANDOM BEAST" and more a slightly animalistic version of what Jon's victims would be afraid of. Covered in eyes with a mouth that can pop you open like a tin can and rip out all of the juicy bits inside. Silent. Always watching. It's also kinda supposed to represent the separation between Jon's (perception of themself as) "monster" half and "human" half. Obviously intrinsically connected and inseparable. The more "human" side eyeless and atrophied, the "monster" the dominant. Anywhoozle if I ever take this PAST sketch I'll repost it

Coloring this took way too long, so y’all’ll have to make do with this grey-ish middleground

[annabelle--cane]

Gwendolyn Bouchard, supposedly exiled from her own "pack", is so MAG176 coded.

I like the way you think. let's assign more oiar employees domains:

gwen: mag 176, like you said

sam: sam the worm from mag 166

celia: was canonically in a stranger domain

alice: mag 170 in memory manor

colin: mag 188, just normal london with nothing wrong with it

lena: mag 189, slowly corrupting government employee

admittedly, I just love feedism content in general, but the reason I love it so much in TMA fanworks is because The Magnus Archives is about hunger.

it's about thirst — bloodthirst (MAG112, MAG176), thirst for knowledge (MAG92, The Eye) — and hunger — hunger for power (Jonah Magnus), statement withdrawal (MAG148), feed your patron or it will feed on you (MAG89, MAG184). Any food and drink mentioned are often corrupted, whether literally, by memories, or by paranoia, like the human teeth apple from the anatomy students in MAG34, or the oolong tea offered by Also Martin in MAG186, or when Martin offers Jon a sandwich and Jon is so suspicious that he actually comes to the canteen to make sure it isn't tampered with (MAG53).

one of the only actual physical descriptors we get of Jon is scrawny (MAG185), so there's something very satisfying to me about relationship weight; about him recovering from years of deprivation and neglect; about a squidgy little belly in the palm of Martin's hand when he spoons in behind him. the thought of Jon and Martin safe and happy and healthy and together delights me, be it curled up on the sofa with tea and a bun, or making soup, or going out for ice cream.

I love the idea of Jon's much-improved appetite still not quite stretching to finishing his plate and he always insists that Martin finishes it without so much as one guilt-tinged word because he looks so ridiculously gorgeous when he's full, one big broad hand resting contentedly on the crest of his belly; or that scene I still have to work in somewhere where Martin catches Jon engrossed in their own reflection, studying the little roll of chub that now swells out over the waistband of their boxers, and Martin begins to panic because when he does that, his mind is loud and swarming with the voices of his mother, of other kids in the school playground, of the shitty men he settled for because he just wanted to be touched: oh, don't wear that top, Patricia, it makes you look fat; my mum has big tummy like you but there's a baby in hers; sorry, I don't think I can go through with this. I don't like girls and your hips are just... too wide. but Jon just turns to him and smiles with sparkling eyes and says I look... loved.

I'm also working on a polychives au where the worm bites across his back and shoulders restrict Tim's movement so working out isn't really an option anymore, and one by one all his coping mechanisms fall through leaving only food. the weight begins to pile on, stretch marks spreading like lightning across his belly, his chest, his hips, and for a time he feels so horribly conflicted about it because it feels good, but it doesn't feel like himself in any way that he's used to. then Sasha tells him in no uncertain terms how much she likes it, and once a miscommunication is sorted with Martin, and Jon begrudgingly agrees to try the four of them being together, he starts to love his swelling belly, his puffy little tits, every bit as much as they do.

I love love LOVE picturing Tim with this big lovedrunk smile, absolutely boneless in a cuddle puddle as he jokes that he should get a ouija board planchette tattooed around his belly button because of how often they each have a hand on his pudgy belly, like they all do now.

just... the softest of soft recovery and comfort against the cruelty of the original work.

Martin, covered in Trevor's blood and viscera, trying to stay calm: jon can you tell me what is happening in this horrifying domain of being murdered brutally so that I may stay alive to see the end of this apocalypse

Jon: no ❤

WAIT YALL

MARTIN AND JON SHARED A JOKE TOGETHER

Martin: "You should get that on a mug. 'You don't have to fear the Hunt to be trapped here...'

Jon: "But it helps"

Listen it's dark humor and it's not much but I Am Taking It
