drawing friends ocs is so fulfilling but hard sometimes i stress a lot about getting it rightt

[ohnoimdeathing]

Dont worry no one will care wether or not you drew it right, just that you put in the time/effort to draw it in the first place :)

One thing I have never, and will never, understand, is why parents are apparently just OKAY with letting their ten year olds leave home to travel the world. It makes no fucking sense.

Even in a world where the kid is protected by whatever super powered animal they have with them, it's still DANGEROUS. Like you got bad people, wild pokemon, natural disasters, maybe the kid can't get money for FOOD or they get lost in the woods and never find their way out.

Like, Ash was attacked by a bunch of spearows the day AFTER he left home. And then you got people like Team Rocket, who have no qualms about STALKING children and trying to steal their pokemon. Like, Ash is lucky, because he's got two gym leaders with him, and Brock, the only responsible person in the group (still a teenager himself, tho, I'm pretty sure), but you know other kids aren't as lucky.

Like, I'm not a parent, but speaking as someone who was once ten years old, I would not have been equipped to deal with living on my own at that age.

I think a lot of it has to do with japanese culture. Like theres a whole thing of a child's first errand where they'll go by themself (maybe towing along a younger sibling, but never anyone older) to say, buy some meat from the butcher. And they do this when they're like, five. Throughout their schooling, Japanese children while take the public train, sometimes multiple, to get to school on their own (maybe with a classmate who lives nearby, but never an adult)

Knowing this about japanese cultre makes traveling the country at age 10/11 with a magic creature on their side something that, yeah, i think would happen in japan if pokemon were real. In america, the gym challemge would be like going to college rather than a middle schooler's summer adventure.

i was looking through jackbox screenshots and like…if this isn’t a summary of the tma finale in a single screencap, what is?

[radiosandrecordings]

Jared being homophobic is still the fucking funniest thing in the entire show because it’s so out of left field! People attack Jon regularly because they’re monsters, or he’s a monster, but with Jared they don’t even really hate each other in monster terms Jon just rolls up to his place on a road trip and Jared’s like “wots all this then don’t remember plantin no fruits in me garden”

[radiosandrecordings]

Yknow I was willing to put aside the handful of comments I got that asked “IS THIS ABOUT JARED PADALECKI?”

But the one that absolutely took me out was

“Is that about former senior advisor to and son in law of Trump, Jared Kushner?”

[radiosandrecordings]

Yeah the trump administration did some really heinous stuff but I just don’t see anyone talking about the time they let Jared torture people in the White House rose garden by turning their internal body insecurities into physical body horror and pruning their bones through their skin and organs =| fuck up tbh, suppose that’s nepotism for you

Big fan of Jonny and Alex looking at Martin and being like "so are you gonna go down the path of evil?" And Martin being like "no I'm just severely depressed and crave love" like damn ain't that a mood

[bananonbinary]

once again thinking about how much fun it could be for jon and martin to land in a universe with subtly different rules that don’t really apply to them. like the obvious options are stuff like “oh everyone here has magic, or a daemon, or wings or whatever, and you don’t, that’s fucking weird” but what about “why the hell do your eyes flash red in photos, are you a demon?” or “what the FUCK are freckles” or “don’t be stupid, no one can survive 100 degrees Fahrenheit”

i just want them to be cryptids, not because they’ve retained any sort of Fear Powers, but just because they are technically inter-dimensional aliens with differences that are extremely minute, but go all the way down to the way physics governs their bodies.

[agnesmontague]

just saw a post calling the other untaken option “corruption!jon” and i completely understand why the confusion arose what with all the talk about jon’s “corruption arc” but i can’t stop thinking about how funny it would be to have jon built up all podcast long as this spooky eye archivist man and then at the final season he’s just like. bug. 

[agnesmontague]

alex j newall voice: kick it

[bananonbinary]

#the tragedy is that martin goes ‘ahhh! bug!’ *kick* and punts jon into the skeyeball (via @cirrus-grey)

[tma-incorrectquotes]

Martin: Jon, go to bed, the cows are sleeping in the field.

Jon: What’s that got to do with anything?

Martin: That means it’s pasture bed time.

[the-magnus-archives-wiki]

the fact that the 160 ritual didnt get a catchy name is a bummer and probably a large reason why ppl mistake it for the Watcher’s Crown (which is a baller name)

now while calling it The Magnus Archives is thematically appropriate and author approved, it would also quickly get confusing and it’s just a mouthful to say every time

so my suggestion is to simply rename it to something that’s on brand and that Elias would hate, like Combo Supreme

my warm take of the afternoon is that web!martin is pretty good and I like it. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[annabelle--cane]

many people are not web martin enjoyers, and that is fine and good chase your bliss xoxo, but I like the whole thing tma has going on of even people's good and useful traits being things that can get twisted. jon's single minded curiosity has helped him considerably a good few times, he wouldn't have found out how to stop the unknowing without it, but it still landed him in the sight of beholding. melanie's anger was the only thing that kept her going for a while, and it helped her keep her principles clear while trapped at the institute, but it made her very susceptible to the slaughter. following that, I think it would be neat if martin had to choose whether to let his talents for planning and pulling off the odd deception that have been so crucial at so many points run away with him or to deny them and lose those abilities.

[annabelle--cane]

also, martin with eight limbs = no more making multiple trips to bring everyone their tea, more hands to tenderly hold, strong er hugs,,, what's not clicking ??

[annabelle--cane]

ANYWAY how are we doing web martin enjoyers????

[esrah-rah-rasputin]

Idea: either Jude Perry or Jon have just a really weird handshake style and so not many people recognize Jon’s hand scar as looking like a handshake

[ohnoimdeathing]

Jude's hand turned into melted wax and covered Jon’s entire hand

[phoebenavarro]

As much as I love fics where Jon gets scared by a spider and asks Martin to kill it, I think that when it comes to spiders it is just on sight for Jon. His fight or flight kicks in and it is all fight. He will destroy a spider

What I’m saying is we need more s1 fics where Jon sees a spider and Martin has to physically stop him from killing it and beg him to let him take it outside

[ohnoimdeathing]

Considering what caused prentiss's premature s1 invasion was Jon killing a spider with such anger that he collapsed the shelf and wall (i dont care how much it had rotted, it fucking **collapsed**) i think you are 100% correct
