[falling-forever-upwards]

hey all! this blog's officially going on hiatus; my Magnus Archives interest has faded past the point where I want to keep a dedicated sideblog. I'm not deleting anything, but I'll be putting my occasional tma posts on my main blog from now on. Feel free to give me a follow at @fadesinthelight (right now it's largely cats and Dracula, though I plan on putting out more art in the future). Thanks for the lovely two years and have a wonderful day <3

TMA COMMISSIONS FOR GAZA

What is TMA Commissions For Gaza?

You can get small TMA commissions (a little drawing or short fanfic) in exchange for donating to 1 of 10 Gofundme's of Palestinians in Gaza (starting May 17th)

There are about 60 artists signed up already who have volunteered to work for free for this to happen. Until May 16th, you can join too!

The project is fanmade and has no connection to Rusty Quill

Our carrd: https://magnusforgaza.carrd.co/ Everything else under the cut ↓

How can I commission?

Here's a detailed How To Commission guide.

In a nutshell: 1: Donate to one of the 10 gofundme's. (any amount) 2: Fill out the commission form and describe what art you want! 3: And now we wait. We don't know how many commissions each artist will take on so please be patient💚

Guidelines for artists:

Here's a post with guidelines for artists and authors.

Here's the post that explains the process from sign up to sending the commission to the person who requested it.

Where does the money go?

We, the organizers and artists of TMA commissions for Gaza, gain no money from this. We ask participants to donate to 1 of these 10 Gofundme's by Gazans who are trying to survive and evacuate Gaza. 5 of these Gofundmes are on the Operation Olive Branch list and the other 5 are friends and family of one of our organizers. The funds are needed for expenses such as medical care, food and first and foremost to pay for crossing the border to Egypt.

Why only 10 Gofundme's?

We hope to be more effective when focusing on just a small number of Gofundme's and not for example the whole Operation Olive Branch list. Providing a smaller number of places to donate to may also help donators to not get overwhelmed by the amount of people who need their help. If you have any questions, send us a message here on Tumblr!

wasn’t super happy with how i drew sasha bc she didn’t rly look like i pictured so. here!!! love of my life

(ID: Three digital drawings of Sasha James from the magnus archives. She is a thin Arab woman with light brown skin and dark curly brown hair in a ponytail. she has freckles, light stubble, and glasses. In the top left drawing, she is wearing a brown three piece suit and carrying a bag and newspapers looking suspiciously over her shoulder. In the top right drawing she is wearing a white blazer with flowers patterned on it, a burnt orange sweater, and light beige ruffly pants. In the bottom drawing, she is wearing a red brown sweater vest, a collared blouse covered in mushrooms, and a green skirt with flower patterns. She has large dangly earrings in all the drawings.)

bonus concept/design sketches under the cut

(ID: four traditional pencil sketches of Sasha. She is wearing various outfits and smiling in all of them, except in the fourth, where she is staring with a frightened expression.)

[mossy-rainfrog]

[ID: Two versions of the same semi-realistic drawing of Jonathan Sims, drawn from the shoulders up. Jon is portrayed as a thin Persian person with shoulder-length, curly greying hair, and a short, curly beard. He has dark eye bags, circular scars over his face and neck, and a slashing scar across his neck. He is wearing a maroon sweater and several earrings. His expression is curious, with one eyebrow slightly raised, and he looks off to the side with his lips parted in a very small smile. Behind him are the faded stripes of the asexual flag, and the artist’s signature, “mossy-rainfrog”. The first version of the drawing is in color, while the second version of the drawing is in black and white, except for the ace flag. End ID.]

HELLO I’M SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS AAAAA!!! So, awhile ago I finally decided I wanted to put together something of a face claim for Jon so I could picture him more realistically, and ended up blending a bunch of dudes’ faces together in order to get some of the features I wanted. I then went absolutely ham converting that result into my Jon and WOW,,,, I’m still blown away by how much I love this. Like wtf!! That’s him!! That’s my guy!!!! Anyways click for higher quality as per usual, and please enjoy blorbo from my podcasts as how he actually looks in my brain

*That scene with (his?) partially boneless pet rat still haunts me.. 

** I really like how many “career paths” he tried through his existence.. Bully, butcher, torturer for the mob and for fun,  bone artist/enthusiasist/collector,  gym owner - bodybuilder/unlicensed (?) plastic surgeon,  flesh gardener and i bet many more in between…

JonMartin Week Day2: I’ll Carry You

Server got me obsessed with tiny strong martin carrying his tall lanky jon everywhere

[somanyfuckedupiftruebooks]

Martin (in the smuggest voice imaginable): Oh, you haven't heard? I'm dating Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London. He's the Chosen One, The Ceasless Watcher's Special Little Boy. He's untouchable, with the power to smite all our enemies with a single glance. He's the antichrist and I'm his plus one.

Jon (equally smug if not moreso): I'm dating Martin <3.

[Image ID: a drawing of Jonathan Sims from TMA, a lanky British-Indian person with long curly salt-and-pepper hair pulled into a half ponytail. He is wearing a black turtleneck, a long purple skirt, and combat boots, and is looking off to the side with a soft smile on his face. They are sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other, a hand on their knee, and the other resting on a cane that leans against their thigh. The cane has four stickers: an ace flag, an agender flag, a pan heart, and a pink cat. There is a purple square across the background. End ID.]

I'd love to hear about "a study in silk"! For the WIP game~

Ahhhh thank you for asking! This is a rather new one I'm really excited about. This fic is a TMA oneshot based on Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, but with Jon as Sherlock Holmes and Martin as Dr. Watson. There won't be fears in this universe, just some spooky crimes.

The basic gist is:

Martin recently returned from a voyage where he was working as doctor aboard a naval ship. He’s suffered an injury and been discharged. Therefore, he's seeking civilian clients in London, friends, and a flat, in no particular order.

An acquaintance of his - Tim - suggests he take on Jon as a new client, because Jon has a habit of fainting.

Martin and Jon kind of have a "meet ugly" which makes it surprising when Tim ultimately persuades Jon to take Martin as a roommate and Jon agrees.

Martin realizes quickly that while Jon is an extremely observant private eye, he's also kind of a mess. Martin tries to follow him one night because Jon forgot to take his medicine, only to end up tangled in the middle of Jon's detective work to track down the mundane equivalent of the Web.

Shenanigans happen and Jon stays up for 2 days straight in order to rescue Martin, only to faint as soon as they're both in the clear. Martin carries him back to the flat and revives him with tea.

Back at the flat, Martin is like, look thanks for saving me but can you PLEASE take care of yourself

Jon is like yes fine, would you like to do some more crime solving and do you want a job?

That's the rough summary! I'm hoping to get started on some more of it soon, and it may become a series someday! We'll see!
