all I'm going to say to the collective TMA fandom tonight is a large, unironic THANK YOU for being normal about Jon's asexuality. By "normal" I mean openly portraying and embracing ace-ness in each and every flavor. Creator after creator in this fandom has their own unique interpretation of Jon's sexuality, and I truly, legitimately feel that this group has created one of the most nuanced and healthy environments for discussing different kinds of attraction
Happy Valentine鈥檚 Day!! Have some jonmartin as a treat
And nothing bad ever happens to them. I absolutely loved making this if you read my previous post drawing Jon happy was supplying me with a months worth of serotonin fr
Gerry asking Jon about his love life (he knows Jon loves talking about Martin) and Jon rambling to Gerry about Martin. these two are besties you can't change my mind.
anyway just thinking about how jon had his entire childhood stolen from him and then via transitioning and becoming head archivist he had finally made a life for himself only to realize that he was being controlled the entire time by the entities. something like that
Love a protagonist dude who's just trying his best. Trying to get through the day. Didn't ask for the drama. Everyone blames him for the shit going on, everyone hates him for reasons he can't control, that aren't his fault. Except One Very Important person who thinks the world of him. He's just always going through it. Sometimes he's a little pathetic. Sometimes he decides he's had enough and gets pissed off and it's hot to watch him grow a spine for a moment. He's traumatized beyond saving. You feel bad for him and you wanna scoop him up and let him know SOMEONE has faith in him. Just the most blorbo guy ever.
wow, if there鈥檚 one think I鈥檝e come to realize this past week, is that there is a LOT of love out there for TMA 馃憖 I absolutely am going to be doing more art for it, so here are some fun Jon sketches in the meanwhile! (I just need to draw Martin!)
The planets have aligned: I JUST finished listening to the podcast (it took me less than 2 weeks, and I was holding myself back), TMA 2 has been announced, AND it's Ace Awareness Week!
(btw my design is clearly inspired by fanon Jon's design: he wouldn't have looked half as cool if during the span of years i hadn't seen so much fanart of him)
