The first three panels are close-ups of Jon.

Panel 1. Jon has a hand behind his head and is looking up, he has an expression of annoyance and embarassment on his face. He says "God knows what. and i can't talk to Melanie.

I suppose" and stops talking abruptly.

Panel 2. Jon lets his hand fall down his neck and looks to the side in embarassement, he makes an unintelligible sound.

Panel 3. Jon lets his arm fall down and looks Martin in the eyes, he has a sad and earnest look on his face. he says "I miss you"

The central panel is a medium shot of Martin and Jon.

Panel 4. Martin and Jon are facing each other, Martin is holding some files and has a look of disbelief on his face. he lets out a small laugh and says "Really?" Jon looks up at him with a sad expression and blushed cheeks.

The next two panels, in the corners of the page, are close-ups of Jon on the right and Martin on the left.

Panel 5. Jon looks up at martin with a look of surrender and yearning and a deeper blush. He says "yeah"

Panel 6. Martin looks down at Jon with a surprised face. realising he was actually being honest. He thinks "oh." /.End]

still trying to figure out my designs for these two but after listening to MAG 129 the worms in my brain took over

i'm vv new to tma but i sense an hyperfixation coming

“One thing that always strikes me when I read statements like this is… the bias of survivorship. With one or two notable exceptions, the only statements the Institute receives are those where the witness has successfully escaped whatever terrible place or being has marked them for a victim. I wonder how many don’t make it out…”

“Or perhaps I shouldn’t wonder. Even as I say it, I can feel the knowledge pushing at my mind, eager to find a way in. But I don’t want it. I don’t want to know. I don’t want to see.”

- Jon, TMA episode 129: Submerged

You guys, the parallels are paralleling between TMA and TMAPG

The fact that TMA is about the survivors, and TMAPG so far has at least highlighted the stories of the non-survivors. The fact that Jon didn’t want to know about the ones who didn’t survive, and now he’s one of the ones telling the OIAR about that Exact Thing.

I think I have some strange sixth sense or something-

Everytime I go to sleep to the Magnus Archives I always seem to wake up whenever Martin and Jon are talking

(I already listened to 127 & 128) Like I went to sleep on episode 127 then I just woke up to episode 129 when Jon and Martin are "talking"

Martin is trying so hard to get out of the conversation and Jon's like "Well shit I don't have really anyone else to talk to and now I want to talk to the one person I probably should have talked to from the beginning"

PAINNNNNNN

Also Melanie :]

God she is such a queen, stabbing Jon in the shoulder like that DAMN BITCH SLAY

I would do the same thing (I am deathly afraid of scalpels so...)

ARCHIVIST

What happened, Martin?

[PAUSE.]

MARTIN

You died.

christ, punch in the gut

you can hear the blame in his voice- he is angry at jon for dying even if he won’t admit to himself, even though he knows it wasn’t his fault

but he left him behind and just when he accepted that, he swept back into his life and put everything he had been working for at risk

the magnus archives, episode 129, "Submerged"

[rebeccasteventaylor]

Mag129 Submerged and oh Jon has tracked down Martin!

And he’s worried and apologetic and sincere and kind and understanding and I never could have imagined first season Jon talking to Martin like this.

He even says he misses him! And Martin implies Jon has tried to track him down several times.

‘What happened, Martin?’ (Said with infinite sadness’

‘You died’

‘I came back’

‘Yeah. And I’m not going to let it happen again’

Oh the angst! Oh the ship! Oh the way these two change and grow and swap places and I love it.

Anyway - another one where it doesn’t seem fair. They didn’t do anything! And considering how much Hackney has flooded lately this is a bit close to reality.

Jon acknowledging the statements they get are mostly survivors and then he has to battle to not hear the statements of the non survivors

[soupdwelling]

still not over this ep. btw.

Mag 129 - Submerged

“Drowning in debt? We can help!” “We can help with the pressure.”

Out of context, it’s fine. Seemingly innocent.

In context? Concerning. Odd wording. I don’t trust it.

[bardic-irritation]

THE STATIC MEANS HE'S USING HIS POWERS OH MY GOD??

[tired-nonbinary-rat]
