I’m so behind on @tmaappreciationweek 😭 I’m still not done with my day one peice- I might end up sketching one each day and then coloring them all at the end 😭😭😭 anyways back on topic, this is my day one sketch. I picked the Trending Moments prompt, and went with the scene where Jon first meets Nikola because it’s the one I see the most on my fyp and most of the videos aren’t actually tma related. This will definitely looke better colored, unfortunately I don’t have my colors on me as of right now so, this is all I’m able to produce 😭.
@tmaappreciationweek day three, with the prompt ‘au’. they’re ghost-hunters and best friends (they hate each other), you honor.

In honour of @tmaappreciationweek Day 2: Voice Actor Appreciation, because I can’t do fanart or anything fun like that, here’s a collage me gushing over Ben Meredith:
featuring Jonny Sims and Méabh de Brún, whom I also love and place amongst my top ten favourite voice actors
i was going to do something similar to yesterdays prompt with the s2 finale but wasnt feeling up to it so heres a sketch of one of my favorite scenes that i quote daily
[Image description: A digital colored two-panel sketch of Jonathan Sims and the Distortion as fae. Michael is painted loosely in blues and greens with bright yellow underneath, and has wild curly hair, pointed ears, and long eyebrows and fingers. Jon is in darker purples and blues, has short dark hair and pointed ears, and wears a loose sweater with wings coming from the back. Top left: The Distortion leans over the panel break and smiles down at Jon in the second panel, their hand reaching down toward him. Bottom right: Jon stands staring toward the audience, looking perturbed.
The Distortion: Does he offer a good meal?
Jon: What?

Fellas is it gay to sit on the couch with your boyfriend while he stares into space and his speech bubbles are just a random screenshot of a wikipedia article
“Which is why you bring a homeless man covered in blood and lord knows what else into the Archives!?”
FINALLY have an excuse to draw these guys! Behold! A Malevolent and TMA crossover that EVERYONE asked for! Been writing this bad boy for a while (can be found here on AO3) and would highly recommend if you enjoy some goofy shit, Malevolent, and fix-it AU’s ;)
Small thing that people have probably noticed, I have started using the tag #tmaappreciationweek2023 to group all the contributions for this year’s event if people want to look at just those. I will be going back and adding the tag #tmaappreciationweek2022 to last year’s event contributions, most likely when this event is over because busy.
Thanks to everyone who has participated so far! It’s been amazing to see the art, fic, and posts you all have created! This event wouldn’t exist without you guys!
This bunch would be fun right? Something, something, eye monster tricks/possesses them to do irreversible damage. Bonus points for dying! (Does being turned to gold count as death?)

@tmaappreciationweek prompt: favorite episode. i think of the man who was not there constantly
[Image ID: an illustration of mag:085 upon the stair. it is of a staircase, done in black and white, with a window at the landing and a railing along the wall. there is the silhouette of a person on the stairs, with the stairs behind bent around the contours of the person. the silhouette is defined by lines from the episode: ‘“Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there! He wasn’t there again today, oh how I wish he’d go away! When I came home last night at three, the man was waiting there for me but when I looked around the hall, I couldn’t see him there at all! Go away, go away, and don’t you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door… Last night upon the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there, he wasn’t there again today oh, how I wish he’d go away…” I didn’t meet him on the staircase as well. The carpet didn’t bend under the weight of his soft, round body, and I distinctly recall the absence of a creak as his foot pressed on the loose board of the empty fifth step. He wasn’t there, but the stairs were. It was dark when I didn’t see him. In spite of his own absence, this man blocked the stairs. The moon was bright and cast stark shadows upon the empty floor where this figure stood. He didn’t speak, so I couldn’t hear his offer to join him on the staircase. But I accepted.’ End ID]
Jane Doe (She/they) is the avatar of the Stranger that runs St. Bleedings Centre for Wellbeing. While she’s inspired by the domain so not a complete OC, I’m still happy with the way she turned out
TMA Appreciation Week, August 9th: Crossover (100-Word Drabble)
Spoiler alert for MAG 200.
Also for the ninth Doctor. Sort of.
———
“Ceaseless Watcher, you know why I am here.”
Jonah Magnus floated down. “Jon? Is that you? I was having the most wonderful dream.”
Jon prepared to stab him. To make things right.
And then a complete stranger in a black leather jacket stepped out of the blue police box in the corner and knocked Jon out cold.
“Jon!” Martin cried, running in.
“It’s all right,” said the Doctor, and threw the knife away. “Do get him out of here, would you? Just this once, Martin, everybody lives.” And with that, he skipped back into his police box and was gone.
Time is weird and my sleep schedule isn’t helping but hey we got terrifyingly beautiful episodes. Binary was always one of my favorites, mainly because of how Tessa talks in the beginning .
anyway, sorry this is pretty messy I am tired and am behind on like 3 different things and high of coffee and livin my best life so enjoy!
After the failed intervention Jon has finally started putting himself first for a change and is liking the results. He and Martin have gone on two whole dates! The only person who doesn’t seem happy with this development is Peter Lukas.
The sequel to “An Examination of Monstrosity and Self-Care.” For @tmaappreciationweek day five, What If?
Like what if you actually finished writing something?
this ep was actually gut wrenching oh my god, i love them so much :(
its really funny that for this week ive mainly drawn jon and martin lmao
also i was going to draw my favorite episode but didnt feel up to it so ill mention it here, my fav ep is anatomy class!! its one of the eps that stuck with me throughout my first listen just because it was such a funny concept (minus the horror part) my friend also painted an old cassette tape based off tma and wrote down the case number for that episode on it :]
[ID: Digital drawings featuring Mori, who is a cat, and Oliver Banks drawn on a red background. Mori is a slim black cat with gigantic yellow eyes and small fangs poking out of his mouth. Oliver is a thin black man with dark skin, dimples, and piercings, and he is wearing a gray sweater. The drawing on the left is of Mori sitting with his tail out beside him, smiling, and on the right is a drawing of Oliver from the chest up with the upper half of his face out of frame, with Mori sprawled over his shoulder with his front legs sticking out. Mori is smiling and squinting, wall-eyed, with his cheek mushed against Oliver’s face, and Oliver is smiling as well. end ID]
~~~~
using @tmaappreciationweek’s “what if” and “original character” prompts for today as an excuse to draw Mori. oliver’s black cat that i gave him when i thought “what if oliver had a kitty cat”
he’s a silly little rescue and the light of oliver’s life through all the death prophet junk. the more i draw him the more cartoony he becomes.
i have so many feelings about these two it makes me physically sick i can’t even.
[Image ID: a grayscale drawing of Daisy and Jon, sitting together in Jon’s office. Daisy is sitting on his desk and brushing his hair with her fingers. Jon is on his office chair, animatedly explaining something to Daisy. She has short spiky hair, is wearing a tank top, and is holding a hair tie in her mouth. Jon has long curly hair and is wearing Martin’s sweater and a long skirt. They are both scarred. There is a large padlock behind them, where the door would be, and six speech bubbles coming from Jon. End ID]
Because I want to sit with this piece for a bit and not rush it, my Flesh!Jon fic won’t be done in time for @tmaappreciationweek and their Favorite Entity prompt
Instead, here’s some thoughts and ideas from my notes:
This was actually the first one I started working on because the second I saw “creator appreciation” I just HAD to draw our favorite horror bro; Mr. Jonny “spooky” Sims! And, as a plus, I get to put in a line from a Mechs song that I like :)
