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 :)
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!
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
@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 💜
(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.
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 ID: several scenes of jon and martin accompanied by lyrics from ‘people will say we’re in love’ from oklahoma! jon is a short, thin south asian man with graying hair and square glasses. martin is a fat red haired white man with round glasses. from the top left down there is: a scene of martin laughing as jon looks at him, blushing with got worm scars and a bandage around his neck — the lyrics are ‘don’t laugh at my jokes too much’; a scene of martin staring wistfully at jon’s open office door, sighing. the lyrics are ‘don’t sigh and gaze at me’; a scene of jon in a cot, his glasses resting on a cardboard box, and he is sighing sadly — the lyrics are ‘your sighs are so like mine’; a scene of jon’s hand reaching out to cling to martin’s sweater, his hand and arm bandaged — the lyrics are ‘don’t take my arm too much’; a scene of jon hunched over a cardboard box with martin’s sweaters in it — the lyrics are ‘don’t start collecting things’. from the top right down there is: a scene of a pie on a table, jon and martin kissing behind the table — the lyrics are ‘why do you take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?’; a scene of jon and martin standing in the pouring rain, with martin blushing and jon scowling — the lyrics are ‘don’t stand in the rain with me’; a scene of martin carving J + M into the truck of a tree, with jon leaning against it and smiling — the lyrics are ‘i carved our initials in a tree’. in the center there is a small drawing of jon and martin holding hands, with the lyrics ‘don’t keep your hand in mine’. there is a larger scene of the two of them, dancing together in the safe house, the sun almost rising through the window, with the lyrics ‘don’t dance all night with me’. End ID]
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
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 :]
TMA Appreciation Week, August 11: Scottish Safehouse
Spoilers up to MAG 160.
The first morning was odd.
They’d fallen asleep in the single bed with barely a protest. Someone had mumbled something about the worn-out sofa in the other room, but Jon couldn’t even recall which of them had.
They’d lain down in the manky clothes they’d worn in the Lonely and on the train and trekking through the Highlands at fuck-o-clock in the morning, too.
Jon could smell himself. He was ripe. Quietly as he could, he slid out of bed.
They’d fallen asleep on the single bed without a protest, dropping their ozone-scented clothes on the floor, and collapsing naked together onto the musty sheets.
Neither had cared. Jon’s side was still bandaged, and still sluggishly bleeding. They’d traveled a portal and landed in a field and been crushed by a corpse and panicked and stitched and somehow walked ages (Jon said it was 5.2 kilometers) until they’d seen this house at fuck-o-clock in the morning and found it empty.
Martin could smell himself. He was ripe. Quietly as he could, he slid out of bed.
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 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 💜
