[id: a drawing of jonathan sims holding peters headless body. he has long dark hair and is covered in blood from head to toe, presumably from exploding peters brain. his expression is cold. they are surrounded by gray fog and above them are the words “stubborn fool”]
Late night snack run
I wanted to draw this lad normally but the urge to green squiggle was too great :>
the general consensus i’m seeing is the “don’t touch me” was a trauma response, and that’s really heartbreaking and defo has merit, but i’m HELLA FUCKING DOWN to believe Helen and read it as Jon slipping into monstrosity. especially since the tone didn’t match what i’ve heard in scared-jon. maybe that tone has changed since he got powerful, but there was…idk, a GRITTINESS to the delivery that registered as vicious .
Martin is Jon’s romantic partner and the series’ overall secondary main character, yeah, but don’t forget his most important function: Jon’s narrative foil. throughout s5 we’ve watched Jon dehumanize the victims inside nightmares, and Martin is always the one to ground him and remind him that they still hold value.
just the last episode, we saw Martin take yet another step closer to his own humanity by resolving that he’d sooner be destroyed than feed off the pain of others. this episode, aka Jon’s solo adventure, is a direct contrast. Helen told Jon it could be wonderful if he’d give in to it, and he responded “I KNOW.” he’s been fighting it all season and Jon’s a pretty good person so plenty of the clinging to humanity is by his own power, but A LOT OF IT is certainly dependent on Martin. Jon’s “You’re my reason” Martin.
so with “don’t touch me,” i’m sorry, i know it sucks, i know it’s pessimistic but i really think Jon slipped there. i really think that having a lowly creature dare to touch him just made him instinctually disgusted. and yes, it was bookended by instances of sympathy, so this was just one slip, but……..gang, join me. join me in my having-fun-watching-characters-i-love-struggle-with-remaining-human it’s good it’s really good
The Magnus Archives Entity Themed Blinkies (≧▽≦)
If yall want I could take some requests for alternate versions of these hehe (ie. ocean or space themed vast blinkie instead. etc.)
ALSO I kinda wanna make some themed around TMA characters now too......I SHOULD PROBABLY GO BACK TO ACTUALLY WORKING ON *CODING* my website rather than just making silly gifs for it though hehehe
"Jonah Magnus did leave him in that place, John. He got the letter, oh yes, and was on good terms with Mordechai Lukas. He could have interceded, perhaps even saved him, but he did not. And it was not out of malice, or because he lacked affection for Barnabas Bennett: he retrieved those bones sadly enough when the time came. Bones that you can still find in my office, if you know where to look." (TMA Ep. 92)

toxic gay men
those eyes. they know.
How much art of Jon do I need to make before the curse breaks
As someone who has witnessed old, established fandoms get completely erased under a wave of new content, I'd like to put this request out now as early as possible:
Can we all, please, use separate tags for "The Magnus Archives" (TMA) and "The Magnus Protocol" (TMP*) both here on tumblr and over on Ao3.
There will be some overlap, of course, but searching for TMA should turn up content about Jonathan Sims, the Archivist, and the old established set of characters, while searching for TMP should turn up content about our as-of-yet unnamed new civil servant protagonists and whoever shares the show with them.
I realize that people are going to want to keep using the TMA tags for both personal organization reasons as well as visibility, but I promise you, once content for the new show starts really picking up steam it'll be easier on all of us if we have two separate tags to keep them straight.
[If we need an overarching umbrella tag, I'd suggest "The Magnus Universe" (TMU) to cover content related to the world as a whole rather than a specific show.]
*Edit: Some helpful folks have pointed out that "TMP" is already in use as a tag for Star Trek "The Motion Picture," so perhaps a better alternative would be "TMAGP" so we don't erase their fandom, either.
Since we're a week out from the official release, it feels like a good time to circulate this again! The Ao3 tags seem to be sorted out, but I've noticed a lot of unrelated cross-tagging here on tumblr.
Remember: The Magnus Protocol (tmagp) and The Magnus Archives (tma) are different shows!
There will of course be some overlap, but in general, posts about Sam, Alice, et al. should be under tmagp. Posts about Jon, Martin, and the old gang should be under tma. You're going to compare Gwendolyn Bouchard to Elias Bouchard? Feel free to tag both! But if you're just talking about how much you love Gwen's character, or reminiscing about Elias committing brutal pipe murder, it's courteous to stick to just the tags for the relevant show.
("The Magnus Pod" and "magpod" seem to be common umbrella tags, and may be more useful than "The Magnus Universe")
yeah I jjust dont really think abt him all that muc.h
A Summary of the Magnus Archives, written by someone who has never listened to it
So there’s an archive, and they keep scary stuff in it. The archive is one really long hallway like the one in the penitentiary episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved, and I think every door has a monster behind it? It looks like this. The main character is just roaming around with a tape recorder.
For the first few episodes you aren’t aware there are characters. Then later you meet the archivists. They have names like Peter Lukas, who is a rip-off of Peter Nureyev but also is kind of like Cutter from Wolf 359, Elias Pritchard I think is how you spell it, Basirah, who is a bad-ass I think, Martin, who is very soft and sweet and looks kind of like Aziraphale, and Jonny Sims. The guy who writes the show is also named Jonny Sims, like Night Vale.
The whole show is kind of a weird mash-up of Night Vale, Wolf 359, The Bright Sessions, and Death by Dying. It takes the oh-no-weird-paranormal elements of WNTV and DBD and the oh-no-Capitalism-is-going-to-kill-us-all elements of TBS and W359. Everyone has a British accent. (I’ve listened to one audio clip and the guy had a British accent so I assume they all do.)
The man that built the archives was named Magnus. I think. Magnus must have been a really f-ed up guy. Then he died. He got eaten by the big crab thing, because apparently there is a big crab thing. Now the archives are run by the Johnny Sims guy, and he has major depression. He’s in denial over the fact that he is gay for Martin. Martin knows he is gay for Johnny but won’t tell anyone. There are lesbians but Elias somebody is lesbophobic. The fandom fights over this a lot.
Basically, the show tells you about the ways that people have died by the monsters, especially the crab-monster, and some other monster that I think is called the Silencer? I imagine it as looking like the Nightmare from Metroid Fusion. I mean look at this goddamn thing.
That’s what the archive is hiding. It’s clearly hiding something. I think Elias and Peter are the bad guys? One of them dies, or maybe both. The Silencer eats Peter I think. Elias gets eaten by the crab. All I know is someone gets eaten by the fucking enormous crab.
I think the show is very diverse, but I see a lot of people yelling at each other about it, so maybe it has issues? Maybe it’s like Voltron. Is this show like Voltron? I used to really like Voltron. Then Season 5 happened and I stopped liking it. I’m not sure how many seasons this show has. Six, I think.
I think the archives are set somewhere where there is snow, because I see snow in fanart a lot, and big sweaters. Maybe like Northern Ireland. That explains the British Accents.
wow you guys are confused and so am I
the American education system says Britain doesn’t deserve rights so if you think I know a single thing about your country or any other British-ish country you are woefully mistaken, next question.
Here is my explanation. A while back, I reposted a series of arts by the talented @its-prettybent (whose consent I sought before making this reply to my post), which featured several podcasts I knew and some I didn’t. The one they made for TMA looked like this:
THAT IS A CRAB, BITCH!!!!!!! A SKINNY LANKY CRAB
…or so I thought. So I’m sorry I broke your fandom over the whole crab thing or whatever
it sounds like Elias deserves it. Johnny Sims, whoever you are, you should have a crab eat Elias. You can credit me in your show notes.
this is old but I love it so much I wanted to give it its own crop. YOU CAN LEAVE!
(Spoilers for seasons 1-2 of TMA) HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!
I got hyperfixated on The Magnus Archives back in November and now I can finally post some fanart for it! Here's my season 1 and 2 dump. I have much more stuff for the later seasons, which I will be posting soon hopefully.
Enjoy my drawings of the Eye's special little boy!!!!!
everyone in s4 keeps saying to martin "you're compromised because you're working with peter, you're either all buddy-buddy and on his side or you're vulnerable and he's manipulating you" meanwhile his every scene with peter is him expressing completely unconcealed contempt and rage for the man, just openly trashing his every move and suggestion.
martin: unironically, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you die
peter: you're so lonely when you threaten to kill the only person you've spoken to in months 😀
