TMA Appreciaton Week II is a prompt week to celebrate the Magnus Archives, the people behind it, and the fandom memories that have been created. This event will run August 6th to August 12th and feature fanworks for your favorite characters, scenes, ships, and more. Each day five different prompts will be provided for inspiration but don’t feel like you have to stick to them. If you have an idea you want to use, feel free to use it.
It has been pointed out I messed up the dates/days of the week, please go by the date itself for the prompt instead of the weekday. This event will run from Sunday, August 6th to Saturday, August 12th.
TMA appreciation week 2023 (1006 words) by M_Chasmfiend Chapters: 1/7 Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Martin Blackwood, Jonathan “Jon” Sims | The Archivist, Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives) Additional Tags: Roleswap, Archivist Martin Blackwood, The Magnus Archives Season 1 Summary:
Sadly I was not able to complete all of them fully due to my hand acting up, so I instead will be posting the sketches and THEN later down the line posting the final drawings :)
A year after Tim first confessed that he liked Jon, Jon unexpectedly finds himself returning his feelings. As it turns out, the two of them have more in common than they thought.
Jon/Tim, rated T, around 3.5k words. Read it on AO3!
Jon was three drinks into the evening when he realised he had a problem.
Or not a problem, per se. That was too harsh. In fact, if this thing had occurred about a year ago, back when Tim had confessed that he liked Jon, it would have been rather the opposite of a problem. But it hadn’t happened back then, and now - well, it was at least making things complicated.
The thing was, Jon wanted to kiss Tim. It was a new feeling for him, after such a long time of being friends. He always craved the physical affection Tim handed out so freely - the claps on the shoulder, the hugs, the occasional cuddle during movie night. But the urge to climb into his lap and kiss him until the whole pub knew that Tim was here with Jon - that was new.
Happy @tmaappreciationweek day 1! I drew something, but it’s kinda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, so… fic recs! Jon-centric ones, because he’s my favourite major character to precisely no one’s surprise.
I swear, if Jon hadn’t become an Eye avatar he would have definitely been a contender to become a Flesh avatar. The fascinated tone of his comments after meat statements, how he refuses to become a vegetarian despite it all and how, of all the domains, he found the Flesh garden “beautiful” is pretty telling in my opinion
Also Jared is voices by Alex so they would already have a pretty good rapport
@tmaappreciationweek for the role swap prompt I propose flesh avatar Jonathan Sims
I don’t have the spoons to create anything for this but if anyone’s into what would actually be Jon’s Fear inclinations is welcome to use this bit of info that occasionally dances around in my brain
I work all day today but I still wanted to contribute to TMA appreciation week, so have a low quality sketch of the bestest boi, Martin Kartin Blackwood!
honestly this was just an excuse to write about agnes for me anyway (at least for the first day) but. i am still thinking about agnes gertrude role swap au its really interesting to me in ways i could not fully express in an hour or so of writing
Sorry this was really rushed but hey it’s finished!
Role swapped Martian and Annabelle because I think their both cool and Annabelle probably would have made a really good archival assistant for @tmaappreciationweek
[ID: A coloured digital sketch of a bust of Jon. He is looking slightly to the left of the viewer, with an irritated expression on his face. The background is dark red.
Character design: Jon has brown skin, dark shadows under his eyes, greying brown hair, and stubble. He has circular scars on his neck and face from worms, and three scars on his neck — from Daisy, the Hunters, and Helen, respectively. He’s wearing a green shirt. /End ID]
For @tmaappreciationweek Day 1: Favorite Character, I give you a ficlet with Jon and a Somewhere Else cat! For @artificialdaydreamer, without whom Sasha cat wouldn’t exist 💜💜💜
@tmaappreciationweek day one (which i, very cleverly, missed by not reading the dates closely enough) i chose pre-canon as an excuse to draw jon(ny) d’ville, because in gay like that
[Image ID: several images of jonny d’ville recreated with jon sims from the magnus archives. jon has medium length black hair with a few streaks of gray in it, and brown skin, but is otherwise dressed and made up the same as jonny d’ville (brown vest, white button-up, black lightning marks around the eyes). on the top left is a picture of jonny smoking a cigarette and smiling, one arm propped on his knee and clutching his gun, the redraw right next to it (as it is for all of these) on the top right is a black and white picture of jonny, one arm swung behind his head and a grimace on his face. he has a holster on his hip and is wearing a short-sleeved button up. on the bottom left is a picture of jonny performing, practically shouting into a microphone. in the lower center is another picture of a performance; in this one jonny has one arm outstretched, gesturing at someone to his side, with his microphone to his mouth. the lights color him in purple and red. he is wearing a black button-up, instead of the usual white. End ID]
@tmaappreciationweek day two (on time, this time!) with the prompt animals of tma. because… i love him?
[Image ID: a simple drawing of the admiral from the magnus archives. he is a black cat with large paws and huge gold eyes, and is curled up on his back. he is outlined with the same gold as his eyes and the background consists of the same image of him, repeated. in this image he is loafed. End ID]
Ok so I KNOW it said “character” and not “characters” but I couldn’t help myself! It was too hard to pick which one to draw, so I did both. Gotta love our queens <3
[Image Description: A digital drawing of Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives, lying on his back on the floor with his hands clutching his head in an expression of overwhelmed despair. One knee is bent, and the other leg straight. Beside him is a cardboard box full of loose papers, and a green binder also full of papers. Behind him are rows of stacked cardboard boxes. Jon is depicted as a chubby man with medium brown skin and short, greying dark hair. He is wearing dark purple slacks, a white dress shirt, dark grey square-framed glasses, and black shoes.]
Here’s a Jon for @tmaappreciationweek . I’m a bit late for Day 1: Favorite Major Character, but this also works as Day 2: Season One!
“From where I am sitting, I can see thousands of files. Many spread loosely around the place, others crushed into unmarked boxes. […] It is going to take me a long, long time to organize this mess.” (The Magnus Archives episode 1: Anglerfish)
Once again @tmaappreciationweek gets me to finish something I wanted to draw for a while now. In one of the Magnus Protocol streams (I think it was the Kickstarter pre-launch stream?) Jonny or Alex said something about a scrawny, beaten up street cat Admiral (and something about him being a ginger) and my mind immediately went to draw parallels to Jon getting beaten up all the time in S3.
So Day 2: Animals of TMA - The Admiral. Again.
Won’t be able to get something done for every day cause it’s con crunch season! But I can’t just pass over an opportunity to draw The Admiral. I just love cats…
@tmaappreciationweek Day 2: Celebrations! First, shoutout to @artificialdaydreamer for adding Celebrations to today’s prompt list because, second, it’s my birthday!! I’m so excited to share this ficlet, and I hope y'all enjoy a lil celebration in the archives 💜
mikaele salesa aka literally the only statement character that I always recognized lmfao, buyer and seller of cursed antiques yet caring of his crew unlike leitner, his story is so sad, yet he’s certainly one of my top faves 😭
[ID: A digital drawing of The Admiral, who is a cat, on an off-white background. He is a fluffy orange tabby with round green eyes and a pink nose. He is standing with his lower back raised as if asking to be pet there, and his tail held high. His eyes are sparkling and he is smiling, looking up at something off screen. There are green hearts above his head. end ID]

heard it was animals day for @tmaappreciationweek so i had to draw the boy again. i think im finally starting to get my admiral design down. he has such a specific face and eye shape in my mind and i think im getting it down, as well as his fluff. it’s oddly hard to draw fluff that Looks soft but im getting there!!
[ID: First image is Jordan Kennedy. He’s white with brown hair and two extra arms. He has a beige t-shirt and blue trousers. He has ants crawling up his face. Second image is a digital sketch of a yellow door with a black handle leading to a hallway with beige walls and carpet. The background is black. /End ID]
Ok so you know “good, cheap, or fast; pick two”? Now say “good, fast, or prompt based; pick two”. We’re doing fast and prompt based. Under the cut is a version with Helen in, but it kinda sucks, so.
Anyway hiii @tmaappreciationweek i should really have done these in advance but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is for favourite side characters.
Jon missed his mom’s voice. She used to talk on the phone all about market shares, and Thatcherism, and inflation rates, dipping into Bengali (which she had not taught him) and back into English, filling the space.
Then she was gone.
He understood dead. He’d seen a dead fox once outside in the park, and read a book all about dead people (well, most of a book about dead people, until his mom caught him and took it away), and understood dead.
Sometimes he cried. She didn’t come. That was dead.
(Note: sort of spoilers for the whole show? Not really? It’s an AU, okay? Monster!Jon afoot.)
Tim the cat had some complaints.
They were absolutely valid. Dire, even. A matter of concern for anyone who’d listen, and of course, who’d listen was Weird Human One.
Weird Human One was sort of Tim’s favorite, but he would never admit that to anyone. Weird Human One was buzzy. His pets felt like static. His many, many eyes saw in the dark, and he never lost a toy that was shoved under the fridge or behind a door.
“Now, what’s the matter today?” said Weird Human One, following Tim’s raised orange tail (like a flag!) to the spot required: the Place of Brushing, upon the Sacred Bathroom Rug.
Chapter 1 is a Jon/Martin roleswap, chapter 2 is Julia and Trevor being Julia and Trevor, and chapter 3 is a What the Ghost about the Bermuda Triangle.
Finished in honor of @tmaappreciationweek for Favorite Major CharacterFavorite Minor CharacterAlternate Universe! (a bit late for the first couple days)
“It was back before I worked at the Institute. Before Arthur.” Tim rubbed his chest absently. “Before Danny…”
