greetings, earthlings! my name is Alan, and i am the Average Spaceman!
here’s the basics:
he/him | 22 | FL | ENTP | gay/ace | ♾️
and here’s the rest of it!
i’m an artist!

i don’t only do these full-body ones i promise, but these are my favorites so they’re on here
find my art at asm.psdc!
i’m a cosplayer!
things i cosplay:
i’m not gonna lie gang i haven’t cosplayed properly in a solid six months so this is a lil iffy but
- male characters
- nonhuman characters
- others i relate to maybe (keyword there is maybe)
yes i make the same face in every photo what of it
whenever i post cosplay i’ll put it on ask.png but it’s unlikely i will very often, so just check out my tiktok instead (i don’t post there anymore either. whatever idk)
i’m a writer!
it’s my main hobby and the thing i’m most proud of!
here’s my ao3 :D
however, there’s not much to be said here; i mostly write original stuff now and i don’t post that anywhere so. yeah
maybe i’ll publish it all for real someday… 👀
i’m a voice actor!
go check out What Remains of the Magnus Institute! it’s currently the only thing i’m in but hey it’s something right? something AWESOME!!
the character i voice is called Elijah Perry and he is perfect and i love him. find my drawing of him here!
i’m also a writer for this project, and the dialogue for this episode was written in part by yours truly!
last but not least:
if you wanna learn more about the various things i like, zoom in on the action figure piece! i added all of my favorite pieces of media in various forms :D
i have a reblogging/yapping blog called @averagespacetextfile, if you’re interested in seeing stuff i like/hearing me talk! i promise it’s interesting i think idk
i have a yapping tag as well, it’s asm.txt! find all of my textposts and others i’ve typed a lot on in there!
this is specifically a reference for my fic red string! y’all should read it it’s really corny but i love it anyways
i promise i’m getting to the chapter art that i said i would make. i promise i am. i simply wanted to place the men into the white void first to learn what they look like yknow
also i did not look up what healed scars look like. i am on a roll with the whole no research thing
here’s some design notes:
on the hail mary:
- ryland is 38 and simon is 33 :)
- in my fic, simon gets teleported into the petrova line of tau ceti right before the eel gets him, and after rocky wakes up from their fishing trip mishap. they pick him up and work on healing together!
- if i’m remembering right, in the book ryland says that he got second-degree burns from the ammonia of rocky’s atmosphere when sticking him back in his tunnels. i way overshot the healing time, but that’s kinda how second-degree burns look i think. the one from rocky’s claw is from the movie and would definitely be a lot more than second-degree but i think i did an okay job differentiating them
- both of the shirts i gave ryland are ones i own irl and wear regularly! my “say no to pot” shirt is from connecticut, not maine, but i didn’t feel like correcting the google image. also since i posted a tiktok about the “be greater than average” shirt and got a few comments asking where i got it, it’s from kennedy space center! they do still sell it as far as i know :)
- everything else about his appearance is entirely movie-based. i really like how they designed him, especially the dumb t-shirts lol. also i really like the jumpsuit-as-pants thing he has going on so here he is
- simon’s are a bit different. i kinda figured that the corrosion’s effect would resemble burns a bit but it’s 100% more severe than ryland’s so. also darker red because blood? i suppose? i feel really dumb not having done any research now BUT i can just use the excuse that at this point, the blood is doing just about everything it can to keep him alive kinda like it does in the movie, so this guy is effectively immortal and heals decently fast. i can do whatever i want i love my blorbos
- none of simon’s clothes survived the blood, so he’s wearing ryland’s, though they are entirely too small for him despite ryland being the closest crew member to him in size. the tshirt design is one i remember my sixth grade english teacher having so i gave it to ryland and then simon by proxy because why not. ryland does get his jeans back eventually as you can see so the clothing exchange is fine for now! the shoes are yao’s, however, because they just happen to share a shoe size.
on erid (actual headcanon territory):
- ryland is 47 and simon is 42 :)
- in the book ryland mentions having a cane, but i gave him a modified forearm crutch instead since it’d help with the increased gravity. the end bit looks like an eridian claw and has a mechanism to grab onto rough terrain, as well as grab objects from low heights when he can’t bend over because of his arthritis!
- he continues to wear the clothes he brought with him from earth even after all this time, because they’re comfy to him. obviously during his malnutrition and recovery his weight fluctuates a lot, but it eventually settles back into his normal range so he can wear his dumb t-shirts again!
- he wears the jewelry rocky made for him every day. it’s a common eridian tradition to give others a piece of your exoskeleton when you’re close to them (supported by the bit of adrian’s in rocky’s arm in the movie) so the necklace has bits of rocky, adrian, and several other eridians he’s friends with. his earrings are extra bits of rocky and adrian! his students also like to make him jewelry so he wears those a lot too.
-also his watch is a modified eridian clock! he uses the same watchband that he wears in the movie because it’s comfy for him even after the face itself breaks, so rocky fixes it for him so he remembers to go to class and eat and other important stuff that his audhd brain wouldn’t remember otherwise lol
- after being on erid for a while ryland decides to grow his hair out a bit, and since simon gets a proper prosthetic arm they’re able to help each other with haircare! it’s self-indulgent for me but idc i’ll draw all the long hair men i want. also he greys more than simon for reasons i’ll mention in a second
- on that topic, simon’s hair is properly long. he keeps it for a few reasons: it reminds him of how his mom used to care for it for him when he was a kid, he likes having ryland help him with it (ryland loves it too), and it looks awesome on him and everyone agrees. he keeps it in a braid like this most of the time, though he tries different styles very regularly, often with ryland’s help. he has bits of adrian and rocky tied into it as well!
- he greys a lot slower, not just because he’s younger but also because it takes a while for the bits of the blood in him to let him age, and it only happens after he finally accepts that he’s safe and isn’t letting his carnal desire for survival overtake every other emotion he has. yippee trauma
- xenonite arm!! i was kinda going off of how rocky’s inventions looked in the movie for the design, including how a lot of the base shapes are hexagonal, so he has joints that kinda look like d12 dice. it works though! the bits in his toolbelt attach to his fingers so he can do just about anything with it. and it does attach to his nerves (think fullmetal alchemist) so he can move it properly and somewhat feel with his fingertips. he can remove it and does sometimes, but after they really perfect the design he just keeps it on most of the time. theres also a silicone cover he can put on over it when he’s doing more domestic things, because the joints do still get caught on stuff, and also it’s softer for fluff purposes iykwim
- he also keeps his garden shears on him because of course he does. this guy LOVES plants, so whenever he’s not with rocky’s engineering team or with ryland, he’s in his garden or tending to his trees. he has tool attachments for that too, which he designed himself since the eridians aren’t used to having trees around.
- since simon doesn’t have anything that fits him, the eridians make him a bunch of clothes using designs from the endless amount of information on humanity the hail mary has. he prefers much looser clothing (sensory issues. autism) and tends to be better at putting outfits together than ryland, who just cares about comfort. he likes looking nicer but doesn’t like attracting attention to himself, so he usually wears simple button-ups and the equivalent of loose dress pants.
- there is a point later where they have a proper eridian mating ceremony, and—i’m gonna need y’all to get cool with a lot of things real quick—they exchange a bit of the skin on their forearms like eridians do! it’s only the top few layers and they have to do a lot of testing on both of their cells to confirm that they’re biologically compatible after simon’s mutations, but it works because i say so. also they do have a version of a traditional earth wedding as well, and simon takes ryland’s last name because he doesn’t have one :)
aaaaand that’s about it!
here’s some closeups:
have a wonderful day and enjoy the sci-fi yaoi :D
p.s. happy pride month! in my fic ryland is pan-demiromantic asexual and simon is homoromantic asexual, though neither of them care about labels whatsoever other than ryland’s previous awkward “i’m asexual” conversations on earth lol
oliver banks my beloved oliver banks my beloved oliver banks my beloved oliver banks my beloved
for real though if i had to pick an avatar to marry it’d be this man. yknow the one who dated the guy with the not!them table, had a breakdown and started getting prophetic dreams about death, got so sleep-deprived he did an identity theft on a guy he saw die, killed a research vessel full of people and himself, and was still socially awkward enough to question how to address a guy in a coma? yea that one
sorry for the wait on this one gang, i’ve been having a rough go of it lately and it seems all i’m able to do now is doomscroll, drive to work, doomscroll some more, drive home, doomscroll again, and sleep. but hey, i got it done! in the name of oliver “antonio blake” “dr. thomas pritchard” banks, i have done it‼️
no text:
closeup (singular this time):
progress shots (yes this one took me a while):
design notes:
oliver is one of those characters that doesn’t really differ from the fanon design in my mind. there are a couple of differences though:
idk why everyone decided he was goth? i mean i think it’d be cool but it seems almost stereotypical for an avatar of the end to be goth yknow. my personal headcanon is that he got into motorcycles after taking over the life of thomas pritchard, so most of the time he just wears a tshirt and a biking jacket, along with some jeans he’s had for years and the most basic boots he could find. the tshirt itself is the official grifter’s bone one, just as a reference to the fact he was in that episode (i feel like a lot of people forget that as well so i had to acknowledge it). i gave him the skull ring because i really like the trope of death guys having skull rings, and the one with the black stone is just cool. also, note: there is a black ring on his left middle finger. :)
i love the idea of certain fears turning their avatars’ hair white so much, as is obvious if you’ve seen the rest of my art. the lonely, the end, and the web are the ones i picture it with the most, therefore my martin and oliver (and annabelle if i ever decide to draw her, idk if i will) have white roots. for oliver specifically, i don’t think he’s the kind of guy to put too much effort into his appearance, so he’s had the same locs for at least a decade and has learned how to retwist them himself when he feels like it.
other than that i just went with the description of him from the aforementioned mag42: “he was tall, black and careworn, deep lines of worry etched into an otherwise handsome face.” guy is canonically hot and that’s about it
also yes, jon is still there, you just can’t see him because i wanted to mess with perspective in this one. he does have the death roots, and i like to think they’re covering his eyes and mouth before they recede. and he definitely looks terrible—well, more terrible than usual, anyway.
i have never seen a british hospital. i do not like to research for my art. this is obvious.
n e ways that’s all i got for y’all today. maybe soon i will,, post oc content,,, maybe. i’ll think about it.
my excuse for this was “i want to try traditional sketching again”. i totally didn’t just want to draw this wet cat man several times no definitely not
closeups:
notes on each: (SPOILERS‼️)
s2: i promised i would draw him in a skirt a long time ago, this is me keeping my word. this is his “hey i might die any second now so i don’t think dress code matters anymore i know you all want me dead fuck you” era. also elias gifted him that necklace for reasons that were not obvious to him at that time, and he thinks it’s cool, so he wears it. the two pins on his bag are the bi flag and the autism symbol. the rest of the fit is based on one i wear regularly irl so uh yea
s3: i so desperately love the idea of him in one of those zigzag headbands, so i drew it. this is him before his encounters with jude and daisy, so those scars aren’t there, but the shoulder one from michael is. idk if i’m confusing the placement there but one could reasonably be careless with a bread knife and injure themselves there, right? yea it’s supposed to be a shitty excuse idk
s4: this is the one of the first days after he returns to the institute and therefore is still wearing his glasses out of habit. he does not need them anymore. also his eyes are definitely bright green there but he’s—as i said—not having a good time so you can’t see them. also sweater vest moment because he couldn’t have been bothered to put anything complicated together that day.
s5: the proportion of martin’s hand to his face is based on my partner’s hand in relation to my face, which is equally as large as depicted. they are my martin/my reason. not much is different here from my other headcanon post so go look at that for more design notes.
also, generally, i think my design for him has changed. this is literally only because grey streaks are very difficult for me to draw traditionally so i just had his hair fade to white, which in all honesty is more realistic. i also just really like that idea so yeah
also i did draw him in more outfits a while ago to fulfill my desire of treating this grown man like a paper doll. i don’t like it too much but i’ll add it here because i don’t just want to leave it sitting in my creative cloud.
these are circa s3 when he actually felt like putting in effort (and wasn’t occupied by travelling or being kidnapped), which he does sometimes despite everything. they’re also all based on real outfits i wear irl, minus the skirt.
n e ways, that’s all i got. goodnight, and to quote eliasgoeshard@hotmail,com: laters :)
i finally drew my favorite avatar!! (i know this isn’t what actually happened in the episode, but hey it looks cool)
ngl that’s actually a pet peeve i have with people depicting mag91—mike doesn’t throw jon into the sky, he just makes him feel like he’s falling endlessly. he even says so!!
then again people probably do the exact same thing i did here and draw it that way because it looks cool, and i have no room to talk. whatever lol
closeups etc:
progress shots (yea this one took me a while wtv):
n e ways! mike crew my beloved i get to talk about him now :)
notes on mike’s design: a lot of people draw him in like full flight gear when he’s talking to jon but i just thought: why would he wear all that in his own house? like dawg when i’m home i just wanna chill and he seems pretty chill at first so i doubt he’s wearing his scarf and all yknow?
but mostly i just went off of the descriptions in mag46 and mag75, and the rest is my own personal headcanon. i love my fellow short king vastard <3
also for jon: it may look like he’s wearing a sweater here and as much as he would have liked to he is not. that is a longsleeve graphic tshirt (you decide what the graphic is) that he’s trying desperately to make look more professional. the undershirt is wrinkled and borrowed from georgie. there is no professionalism to be found
i think i’m gonna draw all my favorite episodes in this anime screenshot format. it’s just fun yknow? next on the docket is 121, then 101, then maybe 151 if i feel like it… damn all my favorites end in 1 that’s crazy
aaand that’s about it! see y’all on the flipside ✌️
“staring at a computer with three Monster Energy cans in front of it, waiting for files that i didn’t even know would work, just so arseholes like her couldn’t steal our documents.”
EPISODE EIGHT!! OF WROTMI!!! IS OUT!!!
i helped edit this one! and did the intro and outro bits!!
and i couldn’t help but draw elijah having the time of his life trying to make his computer work. my guy is a sufferer what can i say (i love him sm)
closeups:
progress shots (yes i drew this in april dw abt it):
episode link (IT’S MY ART! LOOKIT!!):
n e ways go listen to wrotmi if you haven’t!! @endlessfearsfancast :D
i have spent entirely too long trying to convince myself i don’t hate this, so i’m putting it here before i can delete it. enjoy it, you freaks
n e ways here’s the dumb stuff:
this pose came to me in a fever dream. or while listening to carousel by linkin park, i can’t remember
something about jonelias just scratches my brain. idk why, but it’s probably because i enjoy complicated love/hate dynamics and not because elias/jonah is the hottest character ever, definitely not, who would even say that? i don’t ship them, not really, but it’s a very interesting idea
and that’s not even the point of this piece! it’s more just me messing with control as a concept in a typical tma fashion as best i can while also still hating my art, iykwim
also they’re both pretty. i’m gay. happy pride still ig 👁️🕸️
hi hello i apologize for the disappearance, i’ve been busy working on this AWESOME THING called What Remains of the Magnus Institute, a spinoff podcast of The Magnus Archives!! please please go check it out at @endlessfearsfancast !!
anyways this is our universe’s Archivist/ultimate goober, Sage Newbert, and the head of Artifact Storage/temporary Archival Assistant/unwilling IT guy who i voice, Elijah Perry!
here, have some extras while i’m at it:
closeups! (because i put waaay too much detail into this)
progress shots! (because this took me AGES)
aaaand THE NEWEST EPISODE! WHICH I AM IN!!
fun fact: i also wrote some of the dialogue for this episode!! it was so much fun and it was incredible to hear the others act out my writing!
okay can i just reiterate how incredibly honored i am to be a part of this project? because i am and it makes me so happy to work with this wonderful team and produce awesome stuff like this!!
n e ways, thanks for reading my yap session :D
be seeing you 👁️
p.s. another fun fact, i made Eli’s hoodie irl. i own it and i wear it all the time. mine says london though because *jonny sims voice* the magnus institute, london. >:)
to start here is the timeline image (if you’ve seen it before no you haven’t)
now for the meat n potatoes!
(1-3 are all hair-timeline related)
1. i headcanon jon as having decently short hair at first just to be professional or whatever even though he prefers it longer (alternative mf), then season two hits and he just kinda forgets about it cause he’s too busy being paranoid and stalking his coworkers. he remembers again after the [brutal pipe murder], but just kinda decides short hair is not worth the upkeep and buys a pack of hair ties that he then keeps on his person throughout the rest of the show, and ends up with this beautiful mess that floats when he uses his powers. maybe he has martin help him with it in various ways just to have an excuse for a domestic moment during the eyepocalypse, who knows (i do because i say so and i like drawing men with long hair)
2. he has an almost-curly wave pattern that tends to frizz easily but is not that hard to handle when he actually takes care of it. totally not projecting definitely not why would i do that? georgie was the one to show him the magic of curl products and from then on you could never catch him without at least four different ones in his bathroom, even after he cuts his hair for work. he wishes he liked masculine woodsy type scents for his hair products, but he does not. he prefers the fruity bath and body works type stuff. at first he never lets people get close enough to him to learn this, and even if he did start warming up to people enough to let them get close, they wouldn’t have anyway in s2 because he’s a paranoid lil bitch boy. martin begins to associate those scents with jon later on but doesn’t realize why until they get to the safehouse and he sees all of jon’s hair products and immediately understands.
3. jon greys a lot over the course of the series. he goes through a lot of stress so obviously this would make sense, but since he was marked by the web so early on i think that would have happened whether or not he’d been chosen as the archivist (yknow cause white hairs are kinda similar to webs? idk it makes sense to my brain parasites). also it makes him look older than he is, which he appreciates at first because it helps with his stuffy academic persona
4. he has kinda the same feeling about shaving throughout the show as he does with haircuts, as in at first he tries to stay clean-shaven for professionalism, but eventually he gets to a point where he only shaves when his facial hair starts being inconvenient and/or bothering him sensory-wise because he’s autistic (we’ll get to that later)
5. as soon as he learns that his job entails monster encounters and almost dying regularly, he basically says fuck you to the dress code and starts wearing skirts and jewelry and all that fun stuff because he likes it, and if he gets fired then it might be worth it to get out of there. he’s wearing a skirt in the s2 image because i say so. sweater vest + long pleated skirt combo jon yes please (i will be drawing this soon, trust)
6. as alternative as he is, he never got any more piercings than the four on his lobes because at the end of the day he was still an academic and wanted to pursue research, and knew that that kind of thing pushed the boundaries of that image a little too far. he regrets this later but doesn’t think too much of it since his priorities are placed… elsewhere
7. at some point during s2, elias/jonah notices his lack of care about the dress code and decides to gift him the eye earrings that i gave him in that image. obviously he has ulterior motives but jon doesn’t know that and thinks they’re cool so he wears them regularly. he’s also given a glasses chain with eye charms on it, but he forgets to wear it most of the time since he can barely see without his glasses anyways so he has no need for it
8. obviously he can’t go back to his house in s3, so he has to borrow a lot of what the ghost? merch from georgie. he is still a skeptic about the ghost hunting genre despite everything he knows now, but he still wears it because he doesn’t have any other option and wants to support his friend. he’s a very sweet guy at heart but just doesn’t want to admit it most of the time because it’d conflict with his stuffy academic image
9. it’s fairly common to see people draw him as not needing his glasses anymore after his avatar transformation, as well as his eye color changing, and i fuckin love it gimme more of that please. i also saw someone say that all the eyes are green because jonah has green eyes but after jon becomes the pupil all the eyes turn brown, but idk how to feel about that one since the whole show is just green atp and it would be weird to change that
10. in s5, he has eyes all over his body and they usually don’t close unless they’re about to get poked or touched. when he uses his power, the sclera turn black and the irises glow. he also has the funny glowing eye halo but it’s not tangible so it’s not too big of a deal for him. also, fun fact: i never draw eyes with pupils. it’s just not a part of my style. i only threw them in here because he can literally see everything, especially in his glitched-out finale form. it’s meant to seem like he’s looking at you because he is. the archive can s̠҉͍͊ͅẹ̿͋̒̕ẹ̿͋̒̕ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇ he is w̦̺̐̐͟ā̤̓̍͘t̲̂̓ͩ̑c͕͗ͤ̕̕ḣ̖̻͛̓ỉ͔͖̜͌ṇ̤͛̒̍ĝ̽̓̀͑
11. literally everyone thinks this man is beautiful. he is so pretty and even people who aren’t attracted to men can see that. however, most are dissuaded by the stuffy academic persona at first and the “you look like hell” vibes later, as well as his generally standoffish personality. this does not apply to martin, who sees all of those traits as 100% his type, or elias/jonah, who has a religious sort of reverence toward jon as his perfect archivist (this was touched upon by alex during the magnus fanfic-reading video and i’ve loved the idea ever since). jon does not like this but he’s also unaware of it for most of the show so it’s not too big a deal for him
12. i only just learned who dev patel is from people fancasting him as jon, but i looked him up and yes i approve of the fancast. i also drew these before i looked him up so i think i accidentally drew dev patel a few times (also as a white person i can’t say much about his race and how it would play into his character but whenever i see art of him that doesn’t portray him as a poc i just go “why is he white” so i’m just gonna go along with the majority of the fandom’s interpretation of him being south asian)
13. he is very small. not too short, per se, but small, like a tall skinny person was scaled down in photoshop. he’s about 5’7, and at first he wears shoe lifts to hide this, but eventually just decides to wear platforms and heels like he did in college, and sometimes just forgoes them entirely because he’s stopped caring. martin likes to pick him up and carry him around the safehouse (and in places where he’s cut off from the eye) and he enjoys it.
now for some non-appearance related ones that have been chewing on my brain along with the parasites
14. WE’RE FINALLY GETTING TO IT‼️ he’s 100% autistic (i’m autistic and i hit him with the tism ray). him responding to “have you seen a dog?” with “in general, or…?” is so autism-coded it’s not even funny. he doesn’t have too many sensory issues but he hates tight pants and ties and things like that. he also hates the feeling of air on his skin most of the time so he always wears long sleeves if he can help it. for the first few days after he realizes he doesn’t need his glasses, he keeps wearing them anyway because he’s so used to them. he doesn’t melt down but he does shut down sometimes, though he does lose the ability to go nonverbal after his transformation and that fucks with him a lot. martin is a big help with this in s5 because he’ll just be quiet, not provoking the eye to give or collect information at all.
15. he was definitely in the mechanisms in college. i don’t know too much about their lore yet since i’ve only listened to the first two albums (ulysses dies at dawn is a fucking masterpiece), but picturing a young version of this jon as jonny d’ville is absolutely wonderful
16. he definitely liked martin in the early seasons but he didn’t fully realize it until later. i think his bullying was a result of him having the feelings and not quite knowing what those feelings were because he’s autistic. my biggest point of evidence for jon not truly disliking martin is that when they were trapped while hiding from jane prentiss, jon straight up thinks that he’s hallucinating martin being there because his presence is comforting.
17. he is CANONICALLY ASEXUAL AND FUCKING PROUD. him being ace makes me so happy as an ace person myself, especially since he’s in an mlm relationship with someone who’s (assumedly) not ace but is not expecting anything out of him, just like myself. i feel incredibly seen by the whole magnus team just for that but this is a headcanon post so i won’t get into all that. he is very much a romantic and was incredibly touch-starved post-georgie and pre-martin, so he’s happy to be physically close and intimate as long as it doesn’t go any further than that. he loves big hugs and kisses and cuddles from his boyfriend and that’s fucking wonderful!! okay moving on from the projection
18. for his whole life, his favorite color was blue, specifically that of the sky or similar lighter shades like periwinkle and cyan and those such as. they’re peaceful, and he looks good wearing them. but after his coma, he realizes just how much he likes green, and starts wearing it a lot more… he doesn’t realize that it’s not his own brain producing that thought.
19. he does not look like the type to like rock and metal, but he does. he loves how complicated in structure metal can be, especially when it utilizes more melodic aspects as well. if he could have heard take me back to eden by sleep token (well, most of it—there are some flops on there), he would have loved it. he also loves classical pieces for that same reason, but the heavy stuff is super appealing to him on its own. he sometimes listens to prog and math rock as well, just to follow along with the time signatures and long runtimes projecting again maybe but it kinda makes sense so i’m putting it out there
20. he was never as much of a media nerd as he was an academics nerd, but he loves long speculative book series like a song of ice and fire, red rising, and the stormlight archive. intricate worldbuilding gets him every time, and he’ll throw himself into it completely, as is canon. he tried playing dungeons and dragons once, but the amount of pre-existing rules bothered him since he couldn’t do everything he wanted to with his character. star wars also bothers him because there’s so many inconsistencies in the lore. but, it did inspire him to write his own space opera lore for his band.
jesus christ that’s more writing than i’ve done for any of my novels in months yippee i’m dying over here
anyways that’s all i’ve got for now, i hope to incorporate this stuff into my art from here on out but hey maybe i’ll hyperfixate on something else soon and never draw mr. jarchivist again! has happened before could happen again folks
to finish off here’s my proper art of him again cause i feel like adding it!
in the style of an anime screenshot because i say so.
SPOILERS FOR S5 OF TMA AHEAD‼️
heyo!! new hyperfixation time lesgo i’m killin it over here
i finished the magnus archives in about three weeks. it was an incredible experience lemme tell ya jonny sims and alex newall are gods among men
i love this depressed wet cat eyeball godbeing so much it hurts me. his voice has become my entire inner monologue. i think about him the instant i wake up and the second before i fall asleep.
him and his foggy soft sweater tea boyfriend restarted the fanfic addiction that i’ve been fully recovered from for two years. two years.
this is bullshit anyways have some art of him
here are some various progress shots of this guy, who took me surprisingly long to figure out how to draw.
he has no canon design, gang. none of these characters do. this scares me.
i tried to include all the scars he canonically has, but i apologize for my lack of knowing how to draw the scar from a worm fucking burrowing into your skin and i am not googling that thanks very much that’s fuckin terrifying
and here are some closeups because why not
i intend to draw his progression through the seasons at some point, but let’s just say in my head he went from a typical academic to… this thing pretty gradually
if i were to serve a fear entity it’d probably be the vast, cause i love big empty spaces and big cities and buildings and the views from those buildings and idk if i see something big my first instinct is to pog face. also space is vast and i LOVE space. my legal last name is spacekid trust me bro
the worst one for me is the corruption, 100%. i fucking HATE insects so much and its whole thing is yknow THAT and it fucking sucks i hated the noises they added when jane prentiss attacked holy hell i’m gonna stop thinking about it now
also what in the hell is the mechanisms and why do they keep showing up in fics as a band jon was in? are they real? because if i am able to hear jonny sims singing then goddamn i need that shit RIGHT NOW

So, I'm looking for a couple of voice actors in regards to my fancast. I don't exactly... have all the voices thought out, but I at least have a few personality types sorted!
Supplemental, being British is not a requirement, as long as you can do an accent you're fine! I mean, heck, a few people on here are American. Okay, lets go:
David Hallaway: Old, like, around his 40s I'd say with a gruff voice and cockney accent. He always has the "tired dad" sort of sound to him. Looking for a voice in the more... masculine register
Marissa Lindell: I picture like, really fake, high, airy kinda voice. But I'd like some range considering the plans I have for her (rubs hands evilly)
Hazel Wright: "it's cheery, and when she gets upset it gets more caked on sweetness in a vain attempt to cover the fact she feels negative emotions. It's sweet, but you can tell it's at least a little forced mosta the time" -Odds
Alex D: "he has a kinda effeminate (but generally androgynous), almost nasally tone, and while softspoken generally he holds a good bit of confidence in his cadence and sound" - Mel
Alora Rothman: Deep, feminine voice (AFAB or Transwoman, doesn't matter to me), kind of monotone in a similar light to Elijah, yet looses it upon feeling heavy emotion or under extreme stress.
Cleome Rhodes: Kinda has that Salad Fingers type of vocal tone, would like a transwoman voice her. No offense to anybody who is AFAB but Id like her voice to be truer to the character
"Friend": I will take any voice for this character, my only requirements are slow speech patterns and sounding in pain. Like you're a ghost speaking through a vessel, if that makes sense?
"The Monster That Lies In The Dark": Deep, monstruous, gravelly. Either AFAB or AMAB, I don't care. If you can go deep and monstrous, you got a good chance!
Collis Holmes: Would prefer someone AMAB for this role, but I am not picky. Half the avatars are ambiguous gender wise. He sounds like he's on the verge of crying or throwing up at every given moment, shaky and hates it.
Montana Reed: Gruff and country, basically Cole Cassidy if he were a cool murder cowboy
Vane Sandoval: Geniuenly, I forgot he existed. So if you can make him sound like a crazy bastard you have good chances of getting the part. I only remembered him after I was looking on my doc and DID NOT SEE HIM. He didn't even have a name Vane im SO sorry
Osiris Dernier: AMAB, deep, kinda getting the vibes of Asterian but if he was more of a diva. Kinda need range cus oh my GOD he is DRAMATIC, would also like if the person auditioning can sing, since this man is if theatre kid was terminal.
Limos Nineltowski: Another AMAB one, folks. I like men. I MEAN WHAT WHO SAID THAT???? Anyways, being serious, this man just sounds tired. Not like "its 1 pm and i just woke up" tired more like "Do I really wanna be here right now? Like, alive?" tired
"Mimi": Anybody can voice this creature, they're just quiet, whispery, and have a cute little "kekekeke" laugh
Farida Rashid: Slow, airy, kinda like someone constantly disassociating. Afab, accent can be either Welsh, Arabic or both, it really doesn't matter.
