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 ;)
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 :)
Her whole thing is that she can hear everyone’s thoughts around her at all times and so feeds the Eye just by existing, but also further torments victims by permanently fixing thoughts in their minds they wish they could forget
I KNOW it might look like archivist sasha it is not archivist sasha please I promise it isnt her
i was gonna draw dr. david for fav ep and then i realized it’s also my favorite avatar and i didn’t want to draw the same one too many times (just don’t look at my sketchbook)
[Image ID: a drawing of Dr. David from MAG177: Wonderland, standing with one hand raised and the other pressed to its chest. It is wearing a white lab coat over a dark green shirt and gray pants. There are red lines splitting the drawing into slices, where each is slightly different from the rest. It’s face is split into four: the right eye and forehead, a sliver of the left eye and forehead, the right cheek and ear, and the left eye, cheek, and the whole mouth. The top right has dark brown skin and darker brown hair. The top left has tan skin and black hair. The lower right has white skin and wavy red hair, and the rest has medium brown skin with curly dark brown hair. It’s eyes are entirely white and it has a wide smile. It’s raised hand is split between medium brown, dark brown, and tan skin; the other is white, tan, and dark brown. The lines also go over its clothes, and the colors are slightly different in every chunk. It has a glitched and staticky effect behind it, and parts of its face are cracked to reveal a mirror, in which a horrified face can be seen. In the background is the transcript for the episode.

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.
