I worked on a different version of Jon and Martin for a bit and they always sucked and eventually I was like, yeah, okay, this is always going to suck and it's okay. I'm just going to throw the kitchen sink at this and see what shakes loose. Nothing did, but I did have a little bit of fun kind of combining different things and elements like lego blocks. Which is funny, as I have never liked Lego. Like, never.
UPDATE: TYSM for the HUGE amount of love on this and since a few requested I do have prints of these! You can find them here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/unravy/ ❤

It’s only episode 1 and Sam already be on that Eye bullshit. He’s perfect prey for the Beholding and we know it. His, “but what is this, specifically?” “why?” “who started all of this?” the incessant questions, the need to know. Samama Khalid, I know what you are. 👁️
I love all the avatars who are like “the Eye is silly and I’m not afraid of it or it’s power” and then immediately go “but you’re a silly little man and just for that, I’m gonna tell you my entire life story.”
Every time someone came to the Archive to give a statement and the recording was uninterrupted by co-workers or the wild, unpredictable occurences that assault the Institute from time to time, can you imagine Jon sitting across from his guest, eyes unblinking, devouring every word, like a lion gnawing on the mangled leg of a gazelle?
Chewing. Swalllowing. And still starving as the tape spins and spins.
istg if i see another post with something having too many eyes saying its the beholding, i am going to scream. yes, the beholding is all about eyes, but just because something has eyes doesnt mean its beholding. as much as i hate to quote jurgan lightner " you're thinking too literally. examining the physical categorization, but ignoring the meaning of the thing."
i personally believe that eyes being were they shouldnt be/more than usual is the flesh or the stranger or the spiral. its body horror not beholding. yes, it has beholding undertones, but ultimately something else (again, probably the flesh)
Sorry, but I turned your boyfriend into an eldritch horror. Yeah, sorry. He's forcibly ripping people's traumatizing experiences from their mouths and feeding on it. Sorry.
