ugh, I feel like I fiddled around for too long on this one… But it is fun to hold it up next to his season 1 appearance.
also there is a darker version. Jon, I think you are glowing a little…

[image description: Jon head, shoulders and chest. He is wearing an outdoor Barbour jacket, a white / beige, green and blue chechered button shirt peaking out from a green woolen pullover. He has long hair with grey streaks, the upper part of it gathered at the back of his head. His eyes looking straight at the viewer behind square rimless glasses have a faint green glow inside their pupil. There are small scars all over his face and a faint horizontal one crossing his throat. He looks very tired, serious, melancholic and kind of done with it all.
The second image is the same just with a dark grey shadow layered over it, small purple rim lights showing up at the side of his head and his glasses. The tiny green lights in his pupils are a bit more pronounced here. There is a close-up of his face from the dark version.]
the lovely @kingycrow is hosting a dtiys on instagram and you get to choose which of their pictures to draw so obviously i had to redraw their beautiful piece of daisy in a muzzle<3

ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): Thank you all for sticking around. Thank you for letting me tell you a story, even if it wasn’t a very nice one. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if the story ends happily or not. It just matters that someone was listening.
MARTIN: That’s it, then? No more waiting? No more questions? No more…
ARCHIVIST: You don’t have to finish that sentence.
MARTIN: But…
ARCHIVIST: Would you like to know what will happen next?
MARTIN: I thought - Ok. Yes.
ARCHIVIST: You will see the sun rise… right over there, Martin.
Look at me.
You will drink hot tea with fresh milk. You will take a walk through the city, and notice things you have never seen before. You will pick up the phone and call your friends and you will tell them you love them. The world will turn and you will go on living. You will listen to records and eat delicious things and look at the stars and you will read books and fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon. You will fall in love and you will make mistakes and you will learn. You will find a reason to go on, even when you are tired. The world won’t end, and so you will get a dog. So you will sit on the sofa and you will pet its fur. You will, on occasion, be lonely. But it will be different than it was before.
MARTIN: That sounds nice.
ARCHIVIST: It will be.
MARTIN: …
But what about you?
ARCHIVIST: You’ll remember me.
MARTIN: But I don’t want to just remember.
ARCHIVIST: Then don’t.
MARTIN: Jon?
ARCHIVIST: Yes.
MARTIN: What’s the dog’s name?
[FOR A MOMENT, WE HEAR NOTHING BUT THEIR BREATHING.] ARCHIVIST: I love you.
MARTIN: I love you, too.
[THEY LAUGH. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER, AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.]
a while back @martian-archivist told me about their lovely botw tma au and i had to draw link jon as quickly as i could. he’s a disaster and deserves so much love
[Image ID: a digital illustration of the episode “Quiet” from The Magnus Archives. It features waist-up drawings of Also Martin and Martin, depicted in shades of blue and lit from below by a bright green light. Both men are holding mugs with fog curling out of them. Martin is a fat white man with short, messy hair and glasses. He is wearing a tattered sweater and a jean jacket. His facial expression is pensive and unhappy. Also Martin looks the same as Martin, but he is wearing a clean sweater over a button up shirt, and he has no face aside from glowing green eyes. His head is made up of white fog which billows up and out of frame. The word “Quiet” is written beneath them in a curly font which resembles the fog. End image ID]
