Not arguing with a man that has big tired brown eyes, whatever you say beautiful

[frogman-inator2000]

Here's how to spot a Mad Scientist:

Is very smart in a specific field

Probably hasn't slept in the past 4 days

Depressed

Slowly decends into madness/spirals/gets obsessed over something to the point where they destroy their lives over it

Here are other minor signs you might want to look out for (doesn't apply to all Mad Scientist):

Very pathetic. A loser, if you will

Is gay

Wears glasses

Has a best friend who is extremely friendly and also a poet

Graying hair despite their relatively youthful appearance

Can be a little bit silly (as a treat)

Note that not all Mad Scientists are actual scientists. The Mad Scientist can be disguised as something else and may try to trick you; do not be fooled. Look for these traits to identify a real wild Mad Scientist.

Now you are ready to go out into the wild and find your very own Mad Scientists to hyperfixate on for the next month! Hope this helped❤️

my favorite thing to do is draw characters who can see everything with glasses. yeah you can be an eldritch all knowing all seeing entity but only if you get your latest prescription

What’s with guys named Jo(h)n and not being able to say their boyfriend’s name normally?

[madbard]

Thinking about how the narrative of The Magnus Archives can be traced in the pattern of Jon’s scars, the way the apocalypse was triggered by the marks that had been carved into his skin, a legacy of violence and trauma.

Thinking about how Gerry was torn from death and kept as a tool long after his heart stopped beating.

Thinking about how Daisy tried to cut ties with the Hunt, only to experience withdrawal and starve half to death.

Thinking about how Melanie was forced to mutilate herself to escape the Eye’s ownership.

Thinking about TMA as a story about ancient and omnipresent concepts; embodiments of fears and uncertainties that both directly and indirectly enact violence against and exert ownership over (primarily queer) bodies.

Thinking about how, despite all of this, there are moments of joy. The characters laugh and talk and smile and fall in love. And if some die alone, even more die together.

Thinking about how, against all odds, against incomprehensible forces of violence and terror, against the end of the world, some of these characters do the unthinkable.

They survive.

jarchivist with Dermatillomania (skin picking). jon sims with worm scars that never quite heal and then, after the change, arent even able to. a nervous habit developed as a child that no one quite noticed enough to stop. another way that harm and comfort cannot help but overlap.

Do you know this queer character?

Jon is Biromantic and Asexual, and uses He/Him pronouns!

Thinking about Jon and Martin and “I’d understand if you hate me right now.” and “What? No! Martin, I love you.”

Martin who has never known conflict and disagreement without resentment. Who’s mother looked at him only in disdain and hatred. Who’s father left when he was nine. Martin who is so sure that the man he loves would flip the tables 360 over an argument. Martin who definitely has abandonment issues that we don’t talk about enough.

Jon who doesn’t tell people how he feels. Who half the time doesn’t even know how he feels. Who grew up building walls and feigning skepticism. Jon who only ever said the words “I love you” to Martin and his cat (which, mind you, is very real of him). Jon who has spent years hiding from monsters and making decisions he never wanted to have to make, watching those he loved face the consequences beside him.

And how in the end, their love for one another juxtaposes many of the actions they perform on their own. They love each other so much that it changes their narrative. And in the end (just as they confessed to one another) that’s it. That’s the core of it. Their love.

They literally invented romance your honor. I hate them so much.

[oxenfree-001]

Just saying Jonathan Sims is my roman empire. I have literally thought about this man every day since I listened to the MAG 200 ending.

[syoemei]

okay has anyone ever made the connection of jon’s eye powers and compulsive statements with epilepsy in season 5? I don’t know if that’s what they were going for but that’s really what i instantly thought of, especially the way jon would get a sort of aura before episodes.

i think the other’s reactions in that interpretation is also interesting - martin’s apprehension and desire to not watch jon, jon wanting to find secluded rooms to do it. that doesn’t even cover how in a lot of older societies, epilepsy was seen as a symptom of the supernatural and many times wise men would be people with epilepsy.

I know I'm reading too much into it, but the way Jon corrects himself, forces to correct himself to call Elias- Jonah really gets to me.

He doesn't do that at the beginning of s5, but around the middle he starts correcting himself and, soon after, Martin does too. They spend all of their time together so I'm thinking that he's either picking up after Jon or he just started doing it when Jon wouldn't stop correcting him if he did not. But he does so in a more uncaring way, like it doesn't really matter, to him, what name they're calling their enemy.

Both Martin and Georgie don't mind which name they give to Jonah, they just want to get rid of the mess he's done and go back to their old world.

Jon, on the other hand, is so stuck on punctuating that he is, Jonah Magnus, as if calling him with a different name might help him distancing from someone he cared for and respected a long time ago. In his dialogue with Georgie he really wants Jonah to be called by his name and surname, as if he is trying to separate the two people in his head. It's probably because he has already reasoned that Jonah Magnus is evil, he concluded that halfway around S3, if I remember correctly. He wants to stick the evil label onto a man he trusted, so that he can give a reason to why he was betrayed. So that it hurts a little less.

I think that Jon felt, of course, betrayed by Elias, by a man he still turned to when he needed help, even after knowing his crimes. And a little part of me wants to believe that Jon would have sat with him if he wasn't so good-hearted at his core. He surely was envious, by his admittance via Martin's words, of his state after the Eyepocalipse...
