Niche headcanon no one wants or needs: pre heresy Magnus probably a cat person - blah blah blah ancient Egypt. Post heresy, he’s all about dogs - specifically borzois.

for those of you who don’t know what these eldritch horror long boys are here are some pictures:

Now why borzoi, beyond the obvious warp fuckery that made them so long?

well: these boys are big and strong and fast and - crucially - they were bred to hunt wolves. Some space wolves say it is rank superstition; others think it a curse - but every now and then their packs (both human and wolf) are haunted by long white shadows that rip out throats and leave no trace. You cannot escape them - they are tireless. You cannot hurt them - they are faster than any beast of the wilds. All you can do is run.

inspired by this really cool webcomic

tma is a show which spends the first 100 episodes going "look at these monsters. aren't they fucked up. yeah and they're all so happy being monsters who hurt people monstrously" and then the protagonist who you've spent hours listening to at this point becomes one of those fucked up monsters, forcing you to either dismiss him as evil or you have to fully change how you view all the previous monsters. and then they spend the next 100 episodes dealing with that

No but did the Archivist literally stop for a snack on the way to its most important quarry??

Like, we did learn from Jon that if the Archivist gets too deep into the role they lose themselves and their ability to resist any statement in their vicinity but gurl you have way bigger fish to fry right now and that's just a poor custodian who kept his head down and just wanted to do his job that you concrete-ified because the train ride here made you peckish ffs

it’s currently 3 am, and i heard this audio then IMMEDIATELY made this really shitty storyboard for a slightly higher quality animation

don’t know if i’ll ever finish it so i’m just gonna post this

i’ll probably reblog this post with the finished one (once again, if i DO even finish it)

Every single description of Colin's job causes me physical pain. His life can only improve by being in a horror podcast because nothing can be worse than what he's already experiencing. "How's the app coming?" my ass. This man has seen indescribable horrors and its emails from management who think they know what his job is. Please let him do a violence as a treat

big fan of characters who think jon's whole situation is just not that big of a deal. yeah you're a monster but have you considered going to the club. thinking of daisy "you need to stop swanning around being all sad" and helen distortion's "do try to lighten up". listen I know you think you shouldn't be alive but can you at least be whismical with it

[thermodynamic-comedian]

tma s5 as a cartoon. can u imagine. different fear domains in different artstyles. can u IMAGINE.

flesh domain as claymation. oh my god. flesh domain as claymation!!!!

helen constantly switching between corporate artstyle and chaotic scribbles.

the eye is hyperrealistic in the sky at all times,,, and sometimes it turns to look at the viewer,,,,

they enter the panopticon, and suddenly thousands of different scenes from all around the eyepocalypse light up behind jonah magnus and he looks like a stained glass mosaic.

I completely understand celia’s reasoning for doing what she did. i am also distraught about what happened to sam

Along with the obvious fact that she wants to stay with her kid, she was practically tortured in the tma universe and she lost her entire sense of self along with anyone she may have known

[transingthoseformers]

Oooo, Megan, Maggie, that is actually an excellent defense as it doesn't deny that he did the accused actions but rather that the autobots have been doing some serious judicial no-nos. Smaaart. Because both of these? Both of these statements are true as hell.

He may be a horrible person, but this is still not a fair trial. They've been legitimately blaming Megatron for everything that went down in the war, while conspicuously staying quiet about their role in it. Optimus bringing in Chromedome is indeed a low fucking blow, rifling through someone's head is absolutely not something that should be happening in matters such as this (as we see time and time again mnemosurgery has pretty dark implications about bodily autonomy and privacy). By giving Optimus such a big and official role here when he and Megatron have a heavily biased past is pretty fucked up. And I'd argue yes, at every turn they've been saying he's automatically guilty and that he deserves to die.

Ever since the beginning of this entire process the autobots have proven this court cannot deliver a fair verdict.

I haven't thought much about Jonathan Sims for long enough that I kinda feel like I've started thinking about him a little more divorced of the emotional attachment I might have had once. Because I just saw a post lamenting his slow descent into inhumanity and losing his identity, becoming the archivist rather than Jonathan Sims, losing his friends, his house, everything he loves.

But is that true? That put upon head archivist persona he had in the beginning, was that really him? The way I see it, real life has already leached him of any identity he might have had, he didn't really have friends, Tim and Sasha clearly weren't, as we saw in their season 5 recording. He chose to make them his subordinates over beib friends, pushed away Georgie, he became so desperate for approval that he agreed to take a job he clearly has no idea how to do, let his stress over it isolate him from everyone around him, had a desperate need to assert himself in the beginning of every recording as 'head archivist of the Magnus institute london'. Forget about even having a home, he often slept in his office for heaven's sake.

The way I see it, this story is about him finding himself, finding the perfect place for himself in this already doomed world that was already strangling him and everyone around him. He became the Archivist, no longer needing to connect himself to some godforsaken capitalistic institute to identify himself. found his role, he enjoyed its power, even admitted to it. He found love. He found purpose in trying to save the world. In the end he was surrounded with the friends he made along the way (as friendly as they could be under the circumstances). He was finally allowed to make real choices, have true responsibility over himself and not be some tired corporate worker, part of a tired pointless system. Sure his choices weren't that great, and getting there was through outside manipulation and his own ignorance and he had to suffer immensely and pay an awful price of what we like to call his "humanity" but he Became and found what we all look for - his calling.

"It's still me" he says in the last episode. Because he is. He lost nothing and gained everything. Even dying in his lover's arms.

Forget about being human. In the end Jon achieves apotheosis and truly becomes Jonathan Sims

A4 Gerry? 😗

Already did that one once, so I decided to redo it with your Gerry design :D Or at least, my best attempt at it

Expressions here.
