Guys am I AI level generic

y'all this post is untagged ai. a lot of people aren't realizing it, but if you take a second to look at it, it becomes very clear

tumblr keeps showing it to me and OP has refused to tag it, so when you go in the reblogs it's a bunch of people who don't seem to realize that it's ai either. i recognized a lot of usernames in the reblogs, from people who i definitely know are against ai stuff. so if you've reblogged this thinking a human made it because OP refuses to edit the original post for transparency— now you know.

The fact that it kind of looks like my jon design...

For reference this is my lonely one that I mostly made for my lonely-vast self but people apparently vibe with

This is my general TMA one

This is my Jon one

This is a breekon and hope one but it's mostly girls laughs

And I also have this one for elias bc theres a lot of songs for him

Yo hey wtf when did my lonely playlist on spotify get 30 saves I have not been paying attention to that

Especially bc my general TMA one only has 4 and I actually show that one to people

FUCK DO YOU REMEMBER GAVIN REED FROM DBH??

If I remember correctly he's somewhat gen z. I UNDERSTAND NOW WHY HE HATES ANDROIDS SO MUCH HE LIVED THROUGH AI-POCALIPSES

[drinker-of-paint]

Reasons why Jon Archivist is truly a character of all time:

Had the police called on him several times when he was a young child

Keeps his rib and the ashes of the season one antagonist next to his stationary drawer

Promised he wouldn’t get lost in tunnels and then immediately got lost in aforementioned tunnels

Has no clue what a joke is

Learned how remarkably easy it is to buy an ax in central London

Had to have two separate interventions

Told people his place of employment before traumatising them for life

The first character he ever said ‘I love you’ to is a cat

Allegedly participated in amdram

Watches documentaries and collects some kind of weird shit (my headcanon is Soviet Union postcards) when he’s not being a paranoid mess

Canonically looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks

Knows nothing about library science

Fell head over heels for a man that he hated until he learned he lied on his resumé

Has been referred to as Jesus or Jesus-adjacent at least twice

Asexual icon

Knows what a meme is and said “LOL” in the first episode

Rode on a merry-go-round sometime during his university days because he was in a weird place emotionally

Died for our Jonathan Sins

Is probably a computer now playing minesweeper with his boyfriend and evil 200+ year old boss

Sometimes I go back to this Amazon review I wrote in 2020 to see how it's doing and '[number] people found this helpful' always makes me happy

#me snickering at 'the starburst is there for scale' #but it was genuinely the only thing i had to hand that people whould know the size of easily #i don't carry change so #starburst #and yes i still have george

The only difference in his appearance is his hair is no longer an awful dye job because he didn't have to figure it out all by himself 💜

Gertrude pretends to be indifferent but also spends a decent time on Google researching brands and instructions and stuff then insists she does it bc "no grandson of mine is walking around with a patchy monstrosity"

#Especially if she remembers #Shes like FINALLY you looked weird without it #But I'll be damned if those faded patches didn't irritate me so I'll be doing it this time thank you very much #pondering tmp/tma

I had a dream last night that they had released a TMA tv series and for some reason we were watching the last episode in maths class (I haven't done a maths class in 10 years)

at the end they teased the next season being protocol with a preview clip of alice and it panned up to reveal that she's been a particularly detailed mannequin this whole time and it was just never mentioned in the podcast and everyone lost their mind

Elias pretending not to believe Jon in season 2

I've been debating weather to post this or not tbh because the scan came out a bit rubbish and I cant get the editing to look right and I was worried it came across a bit cringe cause like. I mean is that vine even still relevant enough to be funny?

on the other hand I worked on this for ages and it's the first time I've drawn elias and he's not come out lookin super weird so. here it is, if I delete it I delete it 😂

"I wish I were a schooling fish, but I just don't have it in me"

Interrupting the regular TMA content to bring you a fish I painted because I was sad

#new scanner edit rb #can i tag this as the lonely in the tma context #that was the intended vibe but i gotta stop blurring the line between real life and the TMA universe it cant be good for me #lonely #listen it is still just an unrelated word too i I didn't put the 'the' #fish #betta #painting #sketchbook

Babys first go at an Alice design!!

I'm slightly worried I might have made her outfit a bit. Much? But on the other hand I think her fashion sense cannot be silenced

I'm just trying to get the ones out that I had immediately somewhat clear in my head before I get influenced by everyone elses designs,

I think I'll do Gwen next, no promises on how soon that'll be though bc it's me 😬

#new scanner edit rb #although tbh i kinda lost motivation for my protocol designs #like i still want to draw them #but the ones i have in mind #including this one #are so different to what ive seen in the fandom hivemind #so im nervous to put the effort into getting them out just to have everyone reject them 😂 #its so stressful making character designs for a character i dont know inside out yet #like im manifesting the vast vibes for her but #ig i can retrospectively change her details if im way off #but also im like. what if they drop a lil tidbut that makes the whole thing just. incorrect #aaa im not used to being in active fandoms man #the magnus archives #tma #tmp #the magnus protocol #alice dyer #alice #s1 alice

I kinda just like the idea that sometimes in dark enough shadow a bunch of extra eyes that you cant see otherwise activate like glow in the dark stars

Then he accidentally makes eye contact with someone on the tube or someth who's politely trying not to stare and he just gives them that awkward smile like. Yep hello I know pls dont mind me I promise I'm just on the train

Also I filmed the tape peelies for satisfaction purposes please enjoy

He's doin a big think.

A ponder.

(Another 'Jon just kind of existing' post because I'm I'm fixated but don't get ideas anymore so I'm telling myself I'm practicing painting.

On that note I do think the paint lining went a bit better this time)

#edit rb with better version of the image #might see me rbing a few of my own stuff cause guess who got itself a half decent scannerrrrr! #messed up some of the proportions and perspective on this one #but im here to draw jon get serotonin not to think about it #tma #the magnus archives #jon sims #the archivist #jonathan sims #jon doodles #because if all im ever going go make now are aimless doodles i might as well have a tag for it #s4 jon

Georgie, who somehow became institute head, finally agreeing to install a sprinkler system after Mike is unable to leave his flat for two weeks because Jon camped outside his front door periodically yelling questions through the letterbox

Tma au where everything is the same but swapped places of archive staff and the avatars. But not in the way of the staff being creatures and the avatars being normal. I mean like Jane Prentiss covered in worms yelling at her assistants, Mike crew, Nikola, and Annabelle cane, to get the spray bottle with just regular tap water (instead of fire extinguishers) because the very normal Jon is in the walls again and they need him to leave.

Jurgen Leitner is still the same though, he's just a guy in the tunnels.
