Day Four Was The Gemstone Witch. I Gave Her A Crystal Pendulum.

My son!!! Returned from the war!! 🖤

Oh my gosh!! This is stunning! Your style fits these two so well and I love how you illustrated them interacting!

They way Jonah is slightly bending down because of his height and looking unbearably smug + fond-- and the annoyed expression on Jon's face!!! Also his braid!!! The character designs and outfits you gave them are just so fantastic and they really bring these two to life! Also the texturing and the background??? Phenomenal, show-stopping, 10/10!

I'm loosing my mind. Thank you so, so much for bringing these two to life- your art is incredibly fantastic oh my gosh

I just know these guys will be friends soon maybe hopefully??

went down to my basement to do laundry and there is a beautiful lady down there??

Hi!! I hope it's okay if I add on to this! Your analysis around doors and choice in tma is so well written!

Your words also remind me of how doors in the magnus archives are somewhat representative as a death of self. Michael offering Jon an escape from the Stranger through death through his door. Michael transforming into Helen through his own door rejecting him. Elias opening the door to the archives to murder Jurgen leitner- effectively transforming the whole way we understand his character in the podcast. The same thing happens when he murders Gertrude, and our understanding of his identity changes once again.

Also, Jon visualizing his connection to the Eye through the medium of a door is especially interesting given the context of his trauma with Mr Spider's door. His fear of unbecoming -of the rest of his humanity drowning- under the weight of the Archivist behind his own door is really compelling under this lense! It gives this line so much more weight than it already has.

Thank you once again for your analysis. I shall be rotating it like a rat spinning to the hit song "free bird" in my head for the foreseeable future.

mag 81 - "a guest for mr spider" // mag 92 - "nothing beside remains"

a guest for mr spider is a top tier statement to me for a lot of reasons but the way it explains why jon is like That. his desire for answers is not a funny little protagonist quirk that dooms him or whatever, it exists because when he was eight he saw someone disappear behind a door, he was offered a mystery and then he spent the rest of his life chasing after answers, opening doors (elias is playing his victim blaming card over there because he's manipulated jon by denying him necessary information that Would've discouraged him from making a lot of those choices, like accepting the job! but he's also not lying). and doors in the podcast are a recurring symbol of separation of the mundane from the supernatural (it's also in the way every ritual speaks of metaphorically "opening a door"), jon's first fear mark involves him being traumatised (at a formative age. he was eight! something about the way that book was designed to attract a child is kind of vile to me, but why would the entities discriminate based on age?)—and traumatised in such a manner that it also cultivates in him a lifelong desire to seek out the supernatural. because he needs to know, something incomprehensible happened to him and he needs to understand. this doesn't mean he brought that all on himself, it's just another thing the podcast has to say about trauma and how it leaves its mark upon you (and in jon's case, tangibly. you are living a chronicle of terror)

Perhaps "Perhaps" is in your WIP document, perhaps?

Hi there!

Perhaps this is from the next update for A Little Game of Cat and Mouse!

[ Perhaps Jon was lying - no, there was nothing perhaps about it - Jon has to be lying because Jonah would not be able to bear it otherwise. ]

Thank you for sending in an ask!!

yknow what I think about sometimes?

"children" plural. secret bonus extended sims family. I know he said they weren't close but do you think he has any vague relatives who turned on the tv one day and say "blimey, little cousin jon got himself blown up in a wax museum. not my problem ig."

Holy Smokes??? Thank you so much???

I'm really honored and happy that you like this fic enough to rec it and reread it?? I'm a blubbering mess asdfghjkl 😳💖💖💖

Fic Recommendation:

By @paptato on both ao3 and Tumblr!!

Is there anyone who HASN’T read this JonElias fic yet? Cause if not, you absolutely should.

It’s 6/? chapters and 24,422 words of absolutely amazing writing. It’s a time travel fic where Jon goes back in time to kill Jonah Magnus, but for some reason, *cough* spiders *cough*, he can’t seem to finish the job.

It’s hilarious and seeing Jonah get so jealous of Jon being nice to everyone other than him is a wonderful touch. I’m currently about to re-read this fic cause it’s definitely one of my favorites right now!!

just stalked your spotify a bit- love money money money on gus’s playlist it’s bop after bop

(also your lacho playlist having No Children which is thee obligatory Lacho anthem ugh we could have and should have had it all truly)

Thank you! I'm really happy you like my playlist of tunes these characters would definitely not listen too, haha (though I do headcanon that Gus would listen to ABBA, he has that kind of vibe when he's not scheming decade long revenge plots)

Also!! We truly could have had it all! Was really hoping for a Lacho confrontation this season where they could possibly murder each other with unspoken, but inevitable, romantic tension ✊😔
