Look, TMA is a workplace comedy, but relistening just adds an extra flavor to it. You get moments like Elias telling Jon not to cross the Lukas family and its all ominous and sinister and threatening but then you meet Peter Lukas and he turns out to be a depressed 60 year old man with social anxiety who's trapped in a situationship with a centuries old corpse possessing a stoner so he can cosplay middle management until his apocalypse idea takes off
Still indecisive on what his hair texture is, but I'm getting somewhere! Side note, Martin baiting Elias into traumatizing him is one of his most badass moments in the entire show. I really love the image of him in absolute shambles, miserable and angry, falling apart as Elias leaves the room, but he knows that this time he won. Anyways, I love him sm he deserves all the things
[ID: A five panel digitally illustrated comic of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives. The first panel shows just Martin's right hand, holding a large knife as Martin asks "Are you sure about this?". The second panel is a wider view, showing Jon propped up in Martin's lap, his head being cradled by Martin's left hand. Jon's left hand is holding Martin's face as Martin cries. Jon says "No, but I love you" and Martin replies "I love you too." In the third panel they move towards each other, eyes closed and mouths slightly open, and in the fourth panel they kiss. The fifth panel shows Martin stabbing the knife into Jon's chest as Jon gasps. End description.]
One way or another, together

he says that every season
bitches will be like "this peice of media genuinely makes me sick. I am both mentally and physically unwell. it has done irreversible damage to me. I wish I can go back to before I even found out about it." and then recommended it to a good friend with a big smile on their face like it's the best thing ever created.
its me. I do this. and it IS the best thing ever created.
The mommy issues in TMA are off the wall. Here's an abusive cold mother, there's an abusive cold mother. Is she a mom? Then you can bet your ass she's going to have the deft tones of a Adora Crellin french kissing the Evil Queen from Snow White. Mother figure? Don't think you're safe either — she won't tell you about the brain tumor you have and when it kills you she won't even cry about it and you'll feel stupid for thinking she ever would. There's a big evil monster spider and we call her "The Mother" too. Even the grandmother's are like at best fed up with you and tired of having to provide for others, and at worst segmenting you And what makes it so much weirder is that Jonathan Sims our writer seems to have a super chill fun relationship with his cool english teacher Mom — such to the point she agreed to act in his podcast, PLAYING A COLD AND CALCULATING MOTHER FUCKER.
saw this shirt and knew what had to be done
The hell happened??
I’ve had this idea for a while I’m glad I finally did it
A moment before disaster
New hc This is why Oliver Banks liked him so much
Jon doesn't want to die. he thinks he should die, which is a feeling that's followed him since he was eight. he goes through most seasons with the air of someone who fully believes they're about to take their rightful place in the grave, and he's terrified of it. there are some attempts in s4 where he tries to convince himself that he either wants to die or thinks he shouldn't, but I don't think any of it truly sticks. everything he's lived since he was eight has been with time bought by the death of someone else. and he's going to die, it just hasn't happened yet!
then the apocalypse happens, purely because he just hadn't died yet. he should have, but he didn't!
then he meets Annabelle Cane for the last time and learns that he was, in fact, never meant to die. at least not until he does everything the web planned for him.
jon must have been so good for the end
