The Mighty Excel Timeline

Well, part of it...

Because some people seemed interested in my Excel timeline after yesterday's SQOTD, I took that as a cue to tell you all more about it! What do you mean no one asked? 🤔

This is part of the Excel timeline, blurred because of MAJOR spoilers.

Most of the columns are pretty self-explanatory.

In the "Story" column, I type up the basic outline of that chapter. What is this one about?

In the "Scenes" column, I make notes about specific scenes I definitely want to include in this chapter. Usually, these are either random ideas that popped into my head, a line of text, or full-on detailed scenes I already conjured up while lying in bed or going somewhere on my bike (my main means of transportation).

In the " Title" column, I jot down possible titles, but these are not always set in stone yet. Wistfulness, for instance, had five other titles first. Other titles are definite immediately, like Release. There was no title more fitted than that one for that chapter.

The "Events" column is usually empty, but when a particular event is taking place, like a graduation, a wedding, or a festivity, I note it because I might want to incorporate it into the chapter.

The "Age Up" column exists because everyone in Honeycomb is created by me, and even though most of them are now background characters, I still like them to grow and age with the passing of time, so I make a note of who to age up when

The "Other" column is for noting things I wish to remember but that don't fit anywhere else.

I use colours to track my progress: green is finished; written, shot and published. Blue is written and shot but not yet published. Usually I only have one chapter in this stage, but I'm a bit behind on updating my timeline and the chapters both in blue here are Wistfulness and Bestseller. I've had Bestseller ready to go for ages, but other things took priority. I also use pink (not this pink, a much more muted colour, lol) to indicate written but not yet shot.

This timeline goes a loooooooong way down; this is really just a fraction of it. I add to it and adapt it constantly. I've completely redone a large chunk of it recently because of two stupid idiots in my story who messed everything up. And it's a butterfly effect, too. Changing something in this part of the timeline affects other things taking place much later, so sometimes there's a lot of adapting to do.

That concludes the essay no one asked for. 😊 Questions? Please ask!

I feel represented by Jon Sims as a tired five-foot-nothing autistic bastard man with significantly graying hair at 28.

Also as a biromantic ace, but that's secondary.

#i love finding the dumbest little ways to relate to a character #tell me your own. it's fun #also i like seeing some people fixate on jon's hair as something excessively strange or absurd for a man under 30 #when i found my first gray at 17 and it was noticeable by 19 #jonathan sims #tma #the magnus archives #jon sims

Based on their conversation in mag 17 and some of Jon's comments in season 1 I'm convinced that Jon was a constant pain in Elias's ass from the minute he started at the institute. I also think that's a big part of why Elias chose Jon to be Archivist. Just...

The way they talk to eachother, Jon is, as always, unnecessary snippy and abrasive. Elias is patient but quietly exasperated. There's a definite familiarity there. They've had many conversations like this before. Then at the end of the episode Jon says

I like to imagine that Jon's been in Elias's office at least once a week since he started badgering him about whatever case he's working on. How many times has Elias had to give the old "record and study, not interfere or contain" speech?

Im just obsessed with Jon and Elias's comfortably antagonistic pre canon relationship. Like obviously Jon respects and maybe even looks up to Elias as an authority on his chosen field. But he's also comfortable enough with him to be his unadulterated bitchy self around him.

It's harder to tell what Elias thinks of Jon since at this point he is keeping his true nature under wraps. But I like to think he's got an exasperated affection for Jon. Kind of like a pet who's constantly getting into shit but is so cute you can't truely get mad at them.

Jon is an insufferable bastard and so is Elias even though he's (kind of) pretending not to be. Knowing Elias I bet he loves arguing with Jon, probably purposely riles him up because it amuses him. Of course Jon also enjoys arguing with Elias, it's like one of his main ways of communicating. They are have an ideal bastard for bastard relationship.

I bet the first time Jon came to Elias insisting they should do more with a case he was like, yes finally, this is exactly the obnoxious little guy I've been waiting for. Yes Elias chose Jon because he was marked by the spider but I think he also chose Jon because he liked him and was a little bit obsessed with him.

#the magnus archives #jonathan sims #elias bouchard #jonelias #kind of #im not a jonelias shipper but i respect their beliefs #im just obsessed with how these two weird little guys relate to eachother

tamera won a starlight accolade!

on the same night she also found out that the celebrity she made out with is kento, a retired pop star and he's engaged to tina feng, a socialite rising to fame. uh-oh. overall she had an incredible night, mingled with a bunch of a-listers and even got invited to the afterparty.
