How I imagined The Magnus Archives characters before seeing the fan(on) art
preamble: I'm a new listener, I started the series about a couple of months ago and am now on episode 190. But I had no connections to the fan community, so I had no clue what the commonly agreed upon physical traits of each of them were. I don't imagine many details (they're blobs of shape in my mind) but here are some that I did (it's mostly hair):
Jonathan Sims: he was the only character of who's fanon appearance I knew. As I listen, I don't reaally imagine him as that but he does have big blue under-eye bags and dishevelled hair (of unclear length, maybe an overgrown short regular men's cut) maybe of 'mousy'/cool-toned/greyish brown colour. and he wears shirts that he doesn't tuck into his pants. Very tall
Martin: Also tall but not taller than Jon. one of those tall people that seem like they don't know their proportions / a little clumsy. seems like he doesn't eat enough, visually looks a little fragile, like one wrong move could snap him in half.
Tim: maybe beach blond hair? a lowkey surfer or lowkey hipster look, sun-kissed and such (even though he doesn't surf and would be offended if you suggested that)
Daisy: pitch black and very shiny hair that she keeps in a ponytail
Georgie: lowkey just imagined Georgie from Loveless (a book by Alice Oseman). Straight pale blond hair, potentially big cheeks or round face? short or short-medium height
even though smth about how Jane Prentiss's looked was mentioned in the show, I forgot about it immediately. In her corrupted form to me she's a mix between Aunt Marge and dead Bathilda Bagshot from the Harry Potter movies (2nd and 7th respectively)
