ID: A digital illustration featuring Jonathan Sims’s burn scarred right hand holding the spiderweb Zippo lighter. It’s lit and the flame is green, resembling an eye. The image is in a symmetrical frame with spiderwebs in each corner and veins flowing around the image with leaves growing from them. At the top center there is a green eye, and at the bottom there is a cassette tape marked with #0101811 and Jonathan Sims’s name. End IDALT

ID: Digital illustration of Melanie King from The Magnus Archives. She is pale with teal hair and is kneeling on the ground, gripping one of her legs. A bullet pointing down towards an anatomical heart shows through her knee, radiating red streaks. The drawing of her is framed with symmetrical tansy flowers blooming out from Winchester Model 94 rifles. There’s a pair of eyes the top of the framing, pupils obscured by a bloody scalpel.

when did i start to lose the parts of me that weren’t just anger?

ID: A digital drawing of Daisy Tonner from The Magnus Archives. It shows a cross section of the ground with Daisy curled up in foetal position in the center. She’s surrounded by dirt and roots. Red outlines of canine teeth surround her above and below. The words “DO NOT OPEN” are written in scratchy handwriting. A red star, the same red as the teeth, glows from her core. End IDALT

in the maw of the earth

ID: A digital illustration inspired by The Magnus Protocol episode 21. On the left side there’s a thistle plant with swirling white roots. On the right side there’s a symmetrical unravelled cassette tape. The tape frames a scene with a dead fox on a wooden floor with its abdomen covered with white maggots. It’s illuminated by the light of an open door. There’s a shadow of a young girl in the doorway with more maggots crawling towards her. The drawing is framed by Gwen Bouchard’s statement in that episode. End IDALT

the garden shed

ID: Digital illustration, a headshot of Gwen Bouchard from The Magnus Protocol. She’s pale and blonde with long, straight hair, green eyes, a few beauty marks, and is wearing a headband. She’s glancing over her shoulder with a neutral expression, though she looks tired. She is framed by symmetrical magnolia branches with flowers in gradual stages of decay — the higher up, the more wilted. Above her head is a fox skull. There are clusters of eyes in the corners of the picture. End IDALT
