a superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.
The Magnus Archives is like the SCP Foundation if they didn’t Secure. Or Contain. Or Protect for that matter. So really they’re like if you went to the SCP Foundation begging for help with the monster that had been tormenting you and some tired British academic just sort of nodded and said “Fucked If True.” And then proceeded to Kubrick stare at you every night in your sleep for the rest of your life.
quick JE pic for the night - they just left [insert Institute holiday party/gala/get together here] to grab some air and Jon can’t help but bitch about it to his direct boss 😌
“Gertrude had told Michael how he could stop us. She told him to walk through a door. And even then, with so much of his mind shut down in panic and terror, he *trusted* her. And he went inside, closing the door behind him.”
[ID: An illustration of MAG 164 showing a very thin woman, dressed in a nightgown, sitting in an old-fashioned chair by a large arched window and looking out - face turned away from the viewer. She is framed by a large billowing curtain. The woman, the chair, the window panes, and the curtain are covered in mold and mildew. She holds a straight razor by her neck, and a strip of skin on her face hangs loose. Her posture is tense, as though in anger or pain. Her hands and feet are bloodied. A discarded pile of blue-ish skin sits on the ground behind the chair. End ID]
“By night, she sits in the quiet darkness of her perfect cottage, peeling herself with a straight razor”
It is so fuckin chef’s kiss when a character quite obviously Fucks Up and makes a Bad Choice but specifically in a way where you’re like. Man idk what I would’ve done in this situation either.
As much as I love the headcanons of TMAGP jmart locking eyes across the street, and having an infinitely brief moment before being cruelly swept away from each other, I’m even more in love with the idea of them crossing paths and never clocking each other at all. Maybe they bumped into each other outside a Tesco, both mumbling apologies and avoiding eye contact. Maybe one of them worked in a call centre and the other called up to complain about his phone contract. Maybe one had to squeeze past the other to get off a packed tube. How many people do we cross paths with in the course of our lives who could mean everything to us, if the circumstances were different? How many connections do we miss?
Jonathan Sims but every time I draw him my rendering skills level up
It’s so silly but I found out I can use wallpaper arts and crafts motifs to add a little bit of ✨spice✨ to clothes and I don’t think I will get over it// ITS SO SATISFYING 🤌
I dislike it when people make Jon sex positive. I understand that there are different kinds of asexuality, I’m ace myself, but in the canon universe it’s stated that he doesn’t do it ever.
tired and thinking about tma but one of my hastag controversial opinions is that elias is like. at least minutely shorter than jon. i imagine elias to wear like 1-2 inch flat heeled/platformed shoes so i don’t think it would ever go noticed during most of the show, however. maybe in season 4/5 jon gets the fact of elias’ height airdropped by the eye into his mind and has to do a double take because he swore the man was taller than him by a solid inch or so, but no. it was just the shoes, and of course nobody ever bothered to pay that much attention to the intricacies of his outfits. (who would want to stare elias of all people down in such a manner, anyway? too much to behold someone like himself, perhaps. supposed to be the other way around. i think people would be put off from looking for too long because it’s obvious that he/something is aware of it and to be watched back would probably be unsettling, especially.)
i like the idea of elias being the shortest guy, maybe shortest person in the archives. idk it’s just fun to me, especially as iirc he’s the only one to have (presumably) his height commented on in-show. i also fw tall jon like just in general (tall being to me anything over 5’7 lol) especially contrasted with shorter elias.
i love characters who smoke but i wish people would actually show the side effects of smoking affecting them. like depending on how much they smoke they should just go into a comically long coughing fit mid-sentence
