Podcast fanartists baffle and amaze me. I’ve been seeing TMA fanart for *years* on the peripherals of my feeds, and I always assumed that there was official art or clear descriptions or something because there was always variety in the designs, but there were things that were almost always the same, just like fanart of any visual media.

Here is a list of all the main character descriptions I am aware of that exist in the 200 episodes of The Magnus Archives (not counting scar descriptions):


Johnathan Sims

Martin Blackwood

Sasha James

Timothy Stoker

Basira Hussain

Alice “Daisy” Tonner

Melanie King

Georgina Barker

The amount of details that everyone has just agreed on being true for all of these guys is legitimately wild

A very rough sketch, no color. Two hands are shown from a top-down view. They strain to reach each other, fingertips barely brushing, shaking with the effort. The background is very low-detail, but it's rocky and cramped. One hand is smaller, bony, with long fingers and torn nails. Pockmark scars dot the skin in random places, up across the hand and past the wrist. The other hand is slightly bigger, with thicker fingers and a denser frame. The shape of the hand has been worn at by hunger and exhaustion, bones made prominent by tight skin. Above the sketch, in shaky handwriting, "I'm sorry, Jon." is written.ALT

Anyways you guys ever think about how the only person who ever really apologized to Jon for treating him like a monster was the person who traumatized him the most. And how she never asked his forgiveness, because she had no right to, but she wanted him to know that it was wrong. That she was sorry, because she should be sorry. Because he was always worth compassion, and no rationalizing or justifying can ever take away the fact that he was a person before he was ever a monster.

I think about their incredibly compelling and deeply fucked up friendship a normal amount
