Heads up (August 2022): as I don't have the time or energy to keep running this blog as I have in the past, I will no longer use organisational tags for new reblogs and there might be a few repeat posts. I will still use description/transcript related tags (see below) and if there's anything you need tagged, please let me know!

Hi! Welcome to my The Magnus Archives blog. I try my very best to make this blog accessible and while there are some very old posts on here without a description (tagged "undescribed"), I can guarantee that anything new gets described. On the few occasions that a description or transcripts is not in the body of the post the post will be tagged "id in alt" or "id under the cut" as appropriate.

Full header ID: a compilation of quotes said by, to, and about Martin Blackwood. The quotes are taken from the transcripts and are in various different sizes. Roughly from left to right and top to bottom they are:

“I just wanted to take a picture of the thing. To prove to you that it happened.”

"Just... can everyone please make it back home?"

"Just... just don't die, Jon."

(desperately) "I need you."

"Just so you know, this is an adorable look on you."

"Oh, Martin."

"It was for me, though, I'm the reason he..."

"I see... I see you, Jon. I see you."

[A BEAT OF JUST THEIR EXHALES]

"Nice. It was... It was really nice."

"I'm not exactly the smallest guy in the world, I know"

"I'm sure I love you."

"No, I mean... I'm sorry I left you."

"I want to have friends; I- No, I have friends."

"Obviously I'm going to tell you if I see any good cows.

"I am not lonely anymore."

(relieved) “Oh, Martin; thank god, I- I was-"

"I love you too."

"I need him to be okay."

"I thought you'd left me behind, gone on without me."

"Hey! Pretty sure we love 'that guy'."

[THERE IS NO HESITATION]

“Fuck off.”

"I think our experience of the universe has value. Even if it disappears forever."

[Fondly] “Yes, he is."

"It's pretty obvious this one is my journey."

"I- I'm in love.” (heh) “I am in love, and I will not forget that; I will not forget."

"Let's go home."

"Jon, it's - okay. I promise, it's okay."

"No, never. N-never, I, I just-"

"N,No. It's comforting here, leaving all those - painful memories behind, but-” (slight movement) “It's not a good comfort, it's- i,it's the kind that makes you fade, makes you dim and - distant."

(wry laugh) “I really loved you, you know?"

[FABRIC RUSTLES]

"It's the Lonely, Jon. It's me."

(no hesitation) “You know, I think it always did."

“y,you and me, together,”

Jonathan Sims, Knower of All Knowledge, and still can't make a decision on his own

———

[ID: A drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from the Magnus Archives, sat back to back. Jon is a brown man with mid length grey hair, wearing a green sweater. Martin is a fat white man with ginger hair tied in a tail in the back, and frosted white at the bangs and ends. He's wearing a pastel jumper. Jon is reading a book and Martin's on his phone. In green and blue text bubbles, their conversation is as follows:

Martin: "What are we thinking for dinner?"

Jon: "Anything is fine with me."

Martin: "Pizza?"

Jon: "No."

Martin: "Tacos?"

Jon: "Not that."

Martin: *silence*

[ID: A drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives. Jon is a brown man with short grey hair and circular scars all along his skin. He's wearing a short sleeve shirt and plaid pajama bottoms. Martin is a white man with curly ginger hair and glasses. He's wearing a baggy sweater and sweatpants, as well as blue slippers.

The pair are laying on a couch together, pillows and blankets stuck inbetween them. Martin's legs wrap around his sleeping boyfriends, and he reads a blue book above his head. Am orange cat also sits, taking a nap on the couch with them. There's books, mugs, and a cat toy sitting messily on the floor.

[saintbleeding]

[ID: A three panel no-dialogue comic of Martin and Jon from TMA set towards the end of season three. Martin, a fat white man with wavy ginger hair, freckles, and stubble sits beside Jon, a taller, thin man with medium brown skin, dressings on wounds on his right hand and neck, chin-length curly hair and a patchy beard all shot with grey. Both wear glasses. In the first panel, they are both looking over various paper documents, with Jon wiggling a red pencil in his hand as he reads. In the next panel, Jon looks over at Martin, whose eyes have slipped shut in exhaustion. In the third panel, Martin dozes while Jon smiles gently as he returns to reading, his pencil falling still.

pov a guy who looks like a stiff wind could blow him over is abt to suck out ur trauma in a starbucks

(ID: A photo of a sketchbook with a black and white ink drawing of Jon Sims from the Magnus Archives. The entire drawing is made up of stark shadows. Jon sits at a cafe table with a cup of tea in front of them, and smoke swirls up from the cup in an intricate weblike pattern. From what we can see of Jon, they are a thin Persian person with long curly hair wearing loose fitting clothing. They are viewed in profile. His face is obscured in shadow except for their eye, which is wide open and staring at the viewer. Small eyes are dotted throughout the steam curling from the mug.)

For these days that I just don't know what else to post, I guess I should keep posting my old art on here - so here are some of my JonMartin illustrations for the past few years!

I miss TMA so much, still adore drawing these two.

[ID: three digital illustrations of Jon and Martin from TMA. Jon is tall and thin with dark skin, mottled with scars, and long, curly, greying hair, and Martin is short and fat with pale skin and wavy, mouse-brown hair. Both wear glasses. In the first picture, Jon—wearing a business shirt, sweater vest, and skirt, and carrying a shopping bag—bends to kiss Martin, who is half-dressed. Above them is written the word “eros”. In the second, they are dancing and smiling, Jon wearing a half-binder, skirt, and long cardigan, and Martin wearing a cropped t-shirt and boxers. In the third, both wear a jumper and jeans and have painted nails. Jon has his arms wrapped around Martin, kissing his cheek as he smiles. End ID.]

[Image description: A greyscale digital drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood sitting in a train car. Jon is draped in a dark jacket while leaning back against a sleeping Martin. Martin has a hand over Jon's chest, and Jon is covering it with his own while looking up at him with a tired and worried look. End ID]

[nebulations]

[ID: Magnus Archives fanart of Jon as Doctor David in MAG177. The art is a sketch placed against a black background with green accents. Jon laughs very hard, eyes scrunched up and the text written in staticky green. He then immediately sobers and says, “I joke, of course.” His eyes open to show they’re filled with solid green static, and eyes float around his head. In the bonus, Basira’s face is scrunched with disgust and disbelief. End ID]

long time no see.. season 1 jartins...

[hotdrinks]

[ID: The Magnus Archives fanart of Jon and Martin kissing in Jon's office. Jon sits at his desk, his fist is balled in Martin's shirt, and he is pulling him down for the kiss. There is a spilled mug of tea, and several papers fluttering to the ground by Martin's hand. There is a painting of Jonah Magnus on the wall behind Jon and Martin. He looks at the viewer with wide eyes. The office is cramped and messy, there are boxes and stacks of paper on the floor and shelves. There are small references to each of the 14 fears in the background. They are as follows: a coffin drawn on the chalkboard, a skull on the shelf on the left wall, a copy of The Bone Turner's Tale, a jar of ashes, and a spider on the shelf behind Jon, fog in the hopper windows near the ceiling, candles, a pair of antlers, a knife, and a clown doll on the shelf behind Martin, a surrealist painting of a door on a flat landscape, a tall painting of a ship on a stormy sea -both on the right wall-, and a cracked cabinet door revealing complete darkness on the left side of the room.

[Start ID: Two drawings, one of Jon and Martin from The Magnus Archives and the other a black and white figure base by blueinnor on twitter.

Martin is a fat, mixed Polish/Korean man with shaggy, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and browline glasses. He's shirtless, wearing blue/grey boxers, and has hair + beauty marks throughout his body - chest surgery scar is also visible. Jon embraces Martin, wrapping his arms around him, and buries his face into Martin's chest, eyes closed happily with a blush and hearts above his head. Martin looks down at him blankly with a small blush. End ID.]
