[ID: a greyscale digital drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives, depicted in the final moments of MAG 200. Jon, unraveling into magnetic tape, floats in mid-air while Martin, standing on the ground, begins to drive a knife into Jon’s chest, cutting the tape. Blood rises from the wound, floating upward, the only color in the drawing. Jon gently touches Martin’s face and supports the arm holding the knife, while Martin sobs through gritted teeth and holds onto Jon’s wrist. The dark backdrop is lit by a beam of light behind Jon, which highlights the negative space between the ribbons of tape that compose Jon’s body. End ID]
been picking away at this for a while……. it was really difficult to figure out how to compose all the values but i think i found an arrangement i like!! so im kinda proud of myself. a positive emotion to offset the Pain of thinking abt mag200 while drawing 😭😭

“The World”
(my contribution to the @ themagnusarcana zine over on ig)
Image 1 [ID: A digital illustration of the end of the Magnus Archives podcast. Jon and Martin are situated in the pupil of a great eye taking up residence in a red sky. The panopticon/institute is burning and crumbling in the background, as Martin stabs Jon in the heart. Jon’s blood flows down and pools at the base of the House at Hill Top Road, which sits atop a large web made from the tape of large cassette tapes lining the sides of the image, acting as anchors for the web. Annabelle Cane sits at the bottom half of the image, pulling strands from the blood-soaked web and connecting them to a group of planets she sits amongst. /end ID]
Image 2 [ID: close-up of Martin stabbing Jon. /end ID]
Image 3 [ID: close-up of Annabelle Cane. /end ID]

some notes on dates so i have them all in one spot:
- With tmagp its a lot easier to tell when stuff's happening than in tma, where we had to go by live statements only. in protocol, every case is appended with 'today's date', so we can say with precision that episode 1 happened on the 9th of January 2024, episode 2 on the 18th, episode 3 on the 22nd
- Hey, those are around the same dates the episodes aired! Seems like they might be going for a kind of real-time parallel timeline? We'll see if that lasts all 3 seasons, or if they get out of sync when multiple episodes need to cover the same event.
- Chester and Norris appeared "about a year ago", which would be somewhere around December 2022.
- According to RQ's website, the Magnus Institute burned down in 1999, and "almost 25 years ago [from tmagp's timeframe]"
- In tma, the world ended in October 2018. Though there's no canonical timeline for how long it lasted, Jonny said in a Q&A he had imagined about 6 months, and Alex iirc said something like a year, landing mag200 in 2019. The episode itself aired in March 2021.
- None of those dates are anywhere near either the Institute burning down or Chester and Norris appearing, but dimension travel does canonically fuck with timelines. It's not impossible that the events of mag200 are what caused tmagp's weirdness - but it's not a guarantee either.
- Colin and Alice are heavily implied to have already been working at the OIAR for a while by the time Chester, Norris and Augustus appeared, the system dates to the mid-90s according to Alice, and both imply it's always been an incomprehensible mess. So whatever is causing Fr3-d1's weirdness, seems like it's not caused directly by either the Institute burning down or Chester and Norris appearing.
- TMA dates of potential relevancy: Jon was born around 1988, Martin 1988 or 1987, making them a few years older than Sam (16th October 1990, according to the ARG) and presumably Alice, but the right age to have been kids in the Institute in Protocols timeline. Leitners library burned down in 1996, Mr Spider happened to Jon soon after when he was 8.

Say what you will about the tragedy of martin's story but there's something so sweet and conforting about how someone aligned with the Lonely's last conversation was him being told he was loved and saying it back in return

[ID: A digital drawing of the Magnus Archives finale, showing a furious Jon about to stab Elias. Jon is a thin, Persian person with long, curly greying hair, a short beard, and various scars. He wears a light shirt and brown pants. Elias is a thin, white man with dark hair in a suit.
Jon has grabbed Elias by the shirt and is kneeling over him, with an arm drawn back in preparation to stab him with a golden knife. Jon’s teeth are bared, his eyes are glowing golden, and a golden halo with eyes circling around it hovers behind his head, shining golden light onto him. Blood streaks his face and his clothes, and covers Elias’s hands and face. The artist’s signature is visible along Jon’s side. End ID.]
Even you know this was all for nothing. I suppose so, but what do I know?
Happy (1 day late) Elias eats shit and dies anniversary!!!! I decided to redraw the magchard stabbing scene because even two years later, getting to see Jon step away from his own self blame and turn the violence onto the man who took all of his choices away was so, so satisfying. Rip to the gorgeously tragic jmart kiss that I keep neglecting to draw but god this scene rewired my brain.
I specifically went for gold in this because I wanted Jon to look holy 👁️👁️ love me the concept of cleansing violence

After finishing The Magnus Archives (which I've literally just done) and freely being able to view fan works of all sorts without any fear of spoilers, I have one prevailing question. How did this whole fandom manage to agree on a considerably consistent character for Jon? With the exceptions of height, hair length, and glasses or no glasses. Cuz unless it was genuinely confirmed by one of the Rusty Quill members or something, u utterly refuse to believe u guys managed that on ur own.

[ID: two digital greyscale drawings of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives. Jon is depicted as a short, thin British-Pakistani man with many scars, and Martin is depicted as a tall, fat Vietnamese-Polish man with glasses.
Image 1 depicts Jon rescuing Martin from the Lonely in episode 159. Against a cloudy grey background, Martin, washed out, stands with his arms limp at his sides, looking vacantly aside. He is wearing a blazer. Jon wears an overlarge cardigan that fans out behind him as he reaches for Martin’s face with both hands. Many tendrils of negative space curl around Martin, and a few break over Jon’s legs and flow between his fingers.
Image 2 depicts the final moments of episode 200. Jon, unraveling into magnetic tape, floats in mid-air while Martin, standing on the ground, begins to drive a knife into Jon’s chest, cutting the tape. Blood rises from the wound, floating upward, the only color in the drawing. Jon gently touches Martin’s face and supports the arm holding the knife, while Martin sobs through gritted teeth and holds onto Jon’s wrist. The dark backdrop is lit by a beam of light behind Jon, which highlights the negative space between the ribbons of tape that compose Jon’s body. End ID.]
