So, I rushed through The Magnus Archives in 2 weeks a month ago and now I made an animatic of the funny scene in MAG#181! There wasn´t one for it online and that made me so sad I went ahead and tried out a whole new form of art what-
So yeah this is my first (real and shared at least) animatic, hope it´s fine bc I had so much fun working on it yippiieeee :D
my name is michael dis'tortion delusion spiral way i am six and a half feet tall and have long blond hair that falls in ringlets around my shoulders. i was standing ominously in an open house viewing wearing an inhuman laugh and weird hands. a real estate agent stared at me. i stuck my incredibly long middle finger up at her
you want me to go to work? the thing that killed fiona law and emma harvey and michael shelley and gertrude robinson and sasha james and timothy stoker and
Jon’s under the impression that him and Martin went through the whole “enemies to lovers” trope, and in Martin’s eyes, his psycho ‘never ever ever actually go through this he’s crazy and mean’ crush DIED and had an ayuhuasca personality rewrite where he was suddenly nice to him and Martin had no choice but to fall deeper in love
Jon: it’s incredible how we got over our hate for each other and became such good partners and so in love. You’ve healed me so much
Martin: I wrote so many diary entries about you and for a solid year, I signed off every entry with “DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ACTUALLY HOOK UP WITH THIS MAN”
thinking about the distortion on this sunday night. what was once michael died for being too human and what was once helen died for not being human enough…
imagine jonah’s surprise upon taking over elias’ body and finding out he just accidentally possessed a stealth trans man . this evil 19th century man realizing he’s been turned into a pronoun is my new favourite hc
you want me to go to work? the thing that killed fiona law and emma harvey and michael shelley and gertrude robinson and sasha james and timothy stoker and
i actually kinda like it when a character getting better includes them becoming weirder and less polite and more confusing and strange. no more “domestication” i wanna see the weird guy be weird!!!
I am not locked in. I am locked out. It is that one scene in the Magnus archives where Michael realizes he can’t open the Distortions door and is ripped apart existentially. I am saying “oh. Oh no.” In a fucked up distorted British accent and disintegrating from reality as my who is once again ripped away from my what
the “elias is jonah” theory is hilarious in a peter/elias context bc it implies that 1. peter decided to date a dude who used to hang out with his great-to-the-umpteenth grandpa, and 2. elias is a cougar
the core difference between leitner and salesa is that leitner tried to construe his dealings with cursed books as something honorable and cool but salesa came right out and said “yeah, I sell cursed objects to rich idiots who think they know what they’re in for. they’re wrong but they give me moneyyyy :)” and for that I could not respect him more.
broke: doorkeay/gerrymichael (never even met, shipped together purely on the basis of visual aesthetics, no connection on a thematic level other than a gertrude betrayal)
woke: gerryMIKE (enemies to lovers hatefucking; guy whose occupation is hunting down and destroying occult books vs guy who literally sold his soul to one; probably share a taste in music; both highly knowledgeable on forbidden subjects; man who made a faustian pact with one demon to get a different breed of demon off his back vs man who juggles at least a few patronages at once to maintain some semblance of freedom; a ruthless pragmatic and a burnout cynic; in another universe probably would have sat next to one another in the same lecture hall in uni)
rotating t4t jmart in my head in every possible direction. transmasc jmart. transfem jmart. transfem jon transmasc martin. transfem martin transmasc jon. nonbinary of all flavours. the possibilities are endless
his sexuality crisis would NOT involve him researching micro-identites to find the exact one to label his attraction. he’s a forty year old man, he’s calling himself gay and never thinking about it again
THIS !!! is so extremely real . i’ve had moments where i’m like Well what even defines my aromanticism because theres like ? something there sometimes? but i do not want an actual relationship. i think it’s why i get so into fictional relationships because it’s all about observing the dynamic with none of the actual participation and well thats sooo jon. him being aro also really fits with his relationship w martin in season 5 because while the world is normal ? no interest. He Doesn’t, Like At All care for all that usually but what even is romance during the literal apocalypse? there’s something about the lack of any typical conventions that Makes It Work. idk. hashtag aroallo jon rights
