@jonmartinweek Day 4: Ace Day

Keep Your Coat Safe

My grandmother tried to teach me my lessons when we swam together, but I was a difficult pup. I argued with her over and over, too young and too stubborn to understand the importance of what she was trying to tell me.

‘You must be very careful when you remove your coat,’ she would say. ‘Everyone who walks the land will want to take it from you, so keeping your coat safe is the only way to keep yourself safe.’

‘They can’t all want to steal my coat,’ I would retort. ‘There must be some people who don’t do that.’

‘You can’t take the chance,’ she said. ‘Once your coat is stolen, you’ll have a very difficult time getting it back. And then what will you do if you find someone that you want to give your coat to? You’ll have nothing to offer them, and they’ll have no way to keep you.’

‘But it doesn’t make any sense.’ I swam ahead, propelling myself through the water with my powerful tail and then using my fins to twist back around and face her. ‘I have to keep my coat just so I can give it away? Why would I ever want to give my coat away?’

She watched me steadily with her wide black eyes. ‘Because when you find someone you want to keep, you’ll have to let them keep you in return.’

I wrote a selkie!Jon story for Ace Day! <3 What if selkie coats were a metaphor for sex and it was actually good not to steal them? What then?

I love how intricate asexuality can be. No sex at all? Sure! Just want to watch? Brilliant! Only comfortable with topping? You go girl! Only rarely feel aroused and when you do it's very touch and go? Wonderful! Kinky but not in a sex way? Coolio! Queerness is full of nuance and people are complicated and things never live in a vacuum!!

Simply wanted to draw a Jon. It's been a while. And it felt wrong not to add a Martin. Cow-mug or cat-mug? ----------------------------- image description: Two digital potraits of Jonathan Sims ex-archivist and his Martin K. Blackwood painted in a dynamic mixture of rough, broad and thin, squiggly brush strokes. The first images shows Jon's head and upper body, sitting and reading a paperback book. His long black, salt and pepper hair is gathered in a loose knot at the back of his neck. The black beard on his jawline, pointy chin and upper lip is not very dense. Small round scars pepper the brown skin of his face, neckand the back of his visible hand. Additional there is a thick pink-white-ish line stretching across his pronounced Adam's apple. He wears a thick woolen cardigan in a deep green and rectangular glasses through which he gazed with his large, heavy lidded eyes not directly at the book in his hand, but just over the pages at something else to the left. His expression is not fully open and happy, but certainly unguarded and soft. In the shadow of the book cover which has the symbol of a green eye on his, one can make out a black ring on the middle of his left hand. Martin is depicted as a light-skinned, big, broad man with a round face and tousled, ash-blond hair. He too wears glasses, although their frames a big and much rounder than Jon's. He wears a green-blue pullover and holds two mugs in his hands, both steaming with hot tea. One mug features the cartoony face of a cat, half hidden behind the tea string and paper bit on those. The other mug has a shaggy Scottish highland cow on it and the painful pun "Cow are you?" There are soft dimples in Martin's round cheeks as he smirks mirthfully down to his right.

Martin: Are you fucking with me right now?

Jon: The only thing I'm fucking is stupid so no

Martin: *sighs* You are not stupid.

Jon: No yeah I know, I just said it for the joke

Martin: ... The ace joke?

Jon: Ya it's pride month

Martin: ...

Jon: Happy pride mon-

Martin: We're in a fight right now

TMA fans please correct me if i'm wrong, but- is there ever a time martin outright tells john not to call himself a monster, or something similar? I can't remember a single time it happens canonically, but i know it's a thing folks like to sprinkle into fanart and fanfic. And if he really does never say anything like that...that's either really bittersweet (martin loves john *despite* him being a monster, but if john were to bring it up martin could very well lie to johns face) OR. martin doesn't bring it up because he doesnt want to give up his earned title of monsterfucker

[magnusmadness]

hey friendly reminder to the entire TMA fandom that jonathan sims, the archivist, is asexual. he does not have sex with anyone. this is canon and stated in the show. please don’t erase that aspect of his character. please don’t erase asexuality representation.

jon archivist sims: as an ace, I know a thing or two about allosexuals peddling conjecture and shouting over corrections. That's why this pride season I'm partnering with Ghost Hunt UK-

Jonnythan: as a sex neutral ace, I'm largely indifferent to things that other people argue they can't live without. That's why this pride season I'm partnering with the remains of Peter Lukas' soggy corpse-

Jarchivist Sarchivist: as a biromantic ace, I've had to explain my identity to people so put off by reality that they engineered confusing lexicons on the spot just to save face. That's why this pride season I'm partnering with the publication of my husband's new poetry collection-

Sims comma Jon: as a sex favorable asexual, I know what it's like to be judged by unfair standards that try to challenge my right to exist. That's why this pride season I'm partnering with the London Police Sectioned 31 officers-

Jon SimssmiS noJ: as an asexual, i know sometimes the wrong relationships can make sudden demands that feel alien and parasitic. That's why this pride season I'm partnering with The Beholding-

Jonananathan Sims: as a sex repulsed asexual, I'm no stranger to the struggles of communicating and upkeeping my boundaries once I've decided against certain relationships. That's why this pride I'm partnering with the host of What The Ghost-

So I love (I ADORE) the fact that Martin is fat but BY GOD my favorite Martin is the Martin who is also built like a brick house. The Martin who looks like a very plump bear. With the biggest fucking hands. The Martin that would be a good goddamn lumberjack if he chose to be but instead he’s the sweetest poetry nerd ever. I love big strong Martin.

Does Martin Blackwood having a crush on/dating Jon Sims, his boss who constantly bullied and belittled him, count as canon evidence of a humiliation kink?
