Been meaning to sketch stuff for this AU for a while now, and I finally have some very rough design vibes down for Jon, as well as April (his daughter)
For context: this is essentially an AU where TMA!Jon is not Chester, and is instead in a similar situation to Celia, though he’s been working at the OIAR since around late 2018.
Some notes:
April was made before TMAGP Jonathan and Martin were said to be dead, but because this is an AU, I’m sticking with the original concept for her, which is that she was the adopted daughter of the original TMAGP!Jon, until Jon… essentially overwrote him. She was only two at the time, and so the sudden change isn’t something she remembers, but if you looked at old photos before the change, you’d notice the difference.
ERROR and Jon are two sides of the same coin and play into the theme of duality. This may change as we learn more about Error but for now that’s remaining the same.
Jon’s scars from TMA are not present, though he has specific tattoos indicating where they would have been. This is based on the idea that becoming the pupil of the eye reverted him back to how he first looked when he became the archivist, looking the most like himself than he has done in years, right? Well, Jon would… greatly disagree, and didn’t appreciate the ‘gift’.
Oh, and finally, I mentioned this a while ago when I first posted about the AU I think, but the idea initially came to me while I was listening to the song ‘Epilogue’ by The Antlers, and the visual of Martin being trapped in the computer and Jon being by himself hit me like a train at full speed. So, uh, sorry about that. Here we put the tragedy in Horror-Tragedy!
