"What's your choice, Archivist?"👁

[clairebearsparkles]

Oliver is one of my fave avatars

Image Description under cut

[ID: A Magnus Archives comic of Oliver visiting Jon in the hospital. Oliver is a thin, tired-looking Black man with long locs and an undercut wearing an oversized purple cardigan. Jon is a comatose brown man with long, fully gray hair in a hospital bed.

Oliver waves at Jon with a smile and says a little awkwardly, "Um... Hello, Jon. Do you… mind if I call you Jon? I, I mean, you don’t actually know me." He takes off his messenger bag and shrugs wryly, "It’s just, well. 'Archivist.'" The word "Archivist" is written in alternating case and surrounded by eyes.

He smiles nervously while sitting down and says, "It’s so formal, isn’t it? And I do kind of know you…?" He looks down sorrowfully. "Haven’t had much choice, really." He smiles sadly at Jon and says, "Dreams are like that, you know. No matter how lucid you think they are..."

A close-up of Oliver shows his troubled expression, staticky eyes, and the faint black veins across his face as he says, "There’s always that part that just drags you along." We see Jon in bed, and Oliver says pensively, "Guess I don’t need to tell you that. At least, not right now." End ID]

Spoilers for The Magnus Archives, Season 4

Haven’t posted one of these in about a month and in that time Jon has gained a new scar and lost a couple of ribs. I had a surprisingly hard time drawing Oliver Banks despite the very clear image of him in my head, I am happy with the result of the drawing but would probably like to try a couple of different ways of drawing him before I settle on a design for him. The other half of Breekon and Hopes’s statement actually made me quite sad and I actually wasn’t expecting that, his statement made me feel like that feeling you get when you finish a book series (or any show or comic book series in general) you really like. Also look at that goats head! I am actually quite proud of it, it turned out exactly how I wanted it to look.

Jon wakes up immediately after he is given (fed?👀) a statement…despite being in a coma for 6 months previously…I’m sure this will not be important to the plot at all…

Antonio Blake let's goooo

So he can predict all deaths but what entity is he related to? The End? The Web?

I know it's unrelated but why would he assume the identity of one of the most important people on the ship? Maybe no one else was to die around that time but it obviously isn't a good idea. Actually, did he kill him? Did he cause the accident?

How is he alive if he died? Are avatars a little immortal? Can they choose to die? Is it an Avatar of the End thing but then how would it also apply to Jon?

Oliver, way back at the beginning of season 4, in mag 121: oh, just so you know I’m pretty sure that the web is manipulating all of this.

Jon (and also me on my first listen through): this is an irrelevant throw away line that has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever

Not 100% how I imagine the things in mag 121 (less material more like shadows) that the guy sees but Celty in tma lol

@a-mag-a-day oliver banks has left handed energy ok trust me on this

[a-mag-a-day]

I LOVE this episode. Top 3 tma statements in my book. I think they got the perfect VA for Oliver, and as someone with a sleep disorder who rarely feels rested well... stalking someone until they die, hiding the evidence, and stealing their identity to sneak aboard a ship just on the prospect that they might get one good night's sleep... I'm not saying its right, I'm just saying I really can't blame the guy.

I also think it's interesting that we get multiple statements from Oliver, which I dont believe we get from anyone else.

I was actually thinking about that and we do get two from Julia Montauk and no less than three from Trevor Herbert and then I tried to remember if there are any others who aren't (or eventually become) institute staff
