The Empty

"Where did you get that?"

Martin stares at it with wide eyes, setting the tea down quite unsteadily.

"Uhm." Jon looks at him, puzzled. "I don't think I...got it anywhere", he says. "It was here, in my office. I assumed you or- well, someone brought it in for me to record. Why?"

Martin swears under his breath.

"That's not-" Martin adjusts his glasses with a flustered motion. "That wasn't supposed to- You weren't supposed to have that."

"What do you mean?"

He takes the tea Martin set down on his desk, taking a sip. It's perfect. Just the way he likes it. Of course it is. It always is when Martin makes it- though Jon can't remember ever actually having told Martin how he takes his tea.

He waits for Martin to answer, but he just stands there with his eyes flitting around the room, lips pressed tight as his hands worry at the seam of his cardigan.

"Martin?" Jon sets the cup down. "It's a Statement. I'm the Archivist. What do you mean I'm not supposed to have it?"

~oOo~

Or, the one where Jon finds a Statement in his office, and it makes some long-held feelings surface, and some long-overdue conversations finally take place.

sometimes I just like to think about Elias sitting in his office and making his little Archivist plans. obviously choosing Jon is a no-brainer because Jon already has a Web mark and that's the hardest one to manipulate into happening

and Jon asks for Tim and Sasha, which okay, fine, Tim's an explosion waiting to happen and Sasha's good cannon fodder if nothing else. but Jon likes and respects them both so they're not really going to create the atmosphere of anxiety and fury that Elias very much wants his new Archivist to be suffering from the get go. so whomst to choose?

Martin has got used to life in the library and just isn't pumping out that good good CV related terror any more because he's pretty confident now that he can actually do the job. but put him down in a whole new position and he's going to be right back where he started! terrified of being caught and going ridiculously above and beyond to try to make a good impression. and that exact anxiety and going above and beyond is going to INFURIATE Jon. plus Jon only has a bachelor's degree and Martin's CV says he has a Master's, and in a field that's actually relevant, which means that Jon's going to feel like he's starting from an incredibly inferior position relative to Martin and is going to be wildly anxious and angry about that. and when Martin reveals himself to be totally incompentent... even worse! (even better from Elias's point of view)

I like to think about Elias having a huge spreadsheet of everyone in the Institute in which he scores them on how badly they'll infuriate and terrify Jon, and Martin comes out the clear winner.

and like at first it really seems to be working! Jon hates Martin! except... after the worms, why does he keep on going out to lunch with Martin despite believing him to be murderously plotting his downfall?? why would finding out that Martin lied on his CV make Jon trust Martin MORE instead of less??? WHY THE HELL IS HE FALLING IN LOVE WITH MARTIN????? this wasn't supposed to happen! Elias made a spreadsheet and everything!!!

also I think Elias totally has the hots for Martin because he reminds him of Peter and this just makes him hate Martin even more, but that's by the by

imagine the gods/eldritch forces that would be in legitimate danger if Aziraphale ever teamed up with Martin “the K stands for fucK around and find out” Blackwood. add Donna Noble to that team and entire pantheons are suddenly at risk.

I'm watching supernatural with my friend and she just paused and asked me:

"Why every time Castiel shows up they only show Dean's reaction?"

We watched like a few episodes and she clocked it immediately.

[sicksicksixx]

this is what i mean when I talk about destiel being in the editing as much as the writing or the acting. this is not something the actors have control over or are even necessarily aware of. but it’s there, textually.

btw got up to mag 154 with my girlfriend today and got to watch her go through the five stages of grief in real time. and then develop real visceral bloodlust over mag 155.

[annabelle--cane]

I think my position is that the "let's gouge out our eyes and make out" scene imploded because jon was just a little too shy and said "I came to you because I trust you" instead of "I came to you because I'm in love with you," and had he said that martin would have a) burst into tears immediately b) dried his eyes manfully and promptly removed them with a nearby sharpened pencil two (2) minutes later

“martin is -!”

“busy doing paperwork. it’s not like he’s dead.”

(animation!)

What a trip that finale was.

I read “I have no mouth, and I must scream” (it being the inspiration to TADC) and yeah, I definitely prefer this story to that one.

I really wanted to try something extravagant for this piece, because of how large the Circus is. It is such a challenge doing a colorful troop over a colorful background 💀

MAG 159 - “I see you!” My attempt at this episode, my heart was all moved. It ended up way cheesier than expected.

[tatumsdrawing]

There’s two more pages I need to figure out how to add to this

[tatumsdrawing]

Here they are.

Anyways, thank you for waiting. Here’s the beast of a comic I mentioned I was working on

EDIT: HAHA SORRY I FORGOT AN ENTIRE PAGE OF SMOOCHING (It’s in there now)

I could function in a society that had an actual nightlife that isn't synonymous with just clubbing. Where are the night markets what if I want to go to the library at midnight

I have been PREOCCUPIED with this fic by Nayeliq1 on ao3 called Overcome, I don’t usually read a lot of fanfics but this one for some reason has really captured my attention… maybe that’s just because it’s jmart I’m not really sure.

Also here are some snuggly jmarts, the 2nd pose was really pissing me off as I was drawing it, not the best with anatomy but I’m working on it

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.
