Statement eater, paper eater, all the same ;)

reposting my own Tweet (from 3 days ago) here 💖 enjoy

Statement begins c:

ignore that the audio's out of sync XP

*Puts ur Jonathan Sims in a skirt* c:<

sometimes you just gotta

EXACTLYYYY. THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. ^ Also just thrice 🤨??

Elias and Peter my Men-

Thinking about how Jon said he was a deeply annoying child and then listed textbook symptoms of autism

Very dangerous guy: stop asking me questions or I'll kill you

Jonarchivist: right, right, of course, sorry

....

Jonarchivist: but just real quick, wha-

⫸ I really got into the Magnus archives these past couple of years. I still haven't finished it! I'm halfway through season 3 (I got spoiled enough to know about season 5, I'm very much of the opinion that getting spoiled is nothing like experiencing the thing itself), I stalled around the episode with Tim's statement because my mental health got worse at the time and his statement was too much for me at the time.

⨀ I finally finished it the other day and I'll pace myself through the rest of the series! I really want to listen to the Magnus protocol but I wanna finish tma first!

⨀ Also, I hate how this one turned out...I might remake it one day...

something about the inescapability of fate

Everyone in the tags is like: “don’t worry OP it gets better! Stick it out! Jon becomes less of a bastard later on! Soon they’ll both be pining and you’ll love it!”

Me, halfway through S2 and Jon’s ongoing and full-on ‘I’m-going-through-a-complete-paranoid-psychotic-breakdown-rn-and-i’m-dragging-all-you-fuckers-with-me’ rage fest, which includes verbally harassing and stalking Martin: uh-huh. sure.

*Hears all about TMA and how Jon and Martin are one of the most tender and heartbreaking romances in podcasting*

*Me, ecstatic for some more sweet gay pining, starts listening from the beginning*

Jon, first ep: so yeah those new researchers in the archives Sasha and Tim are on thin fuxking ice but fuck that Martin guy, he’ll never amount to anything

Me:

S5!Jon, deeply traumatised and waist-deep in The Eye: i am nothing more than a monster. who could ever love me? I have committed so many sins and I know I will never be forgiven for the blood on my hands. I will always be alone

Martin, standing with a knife in hand, ready to commit a murder, and having rejected a bunch of entities to chase after Jon: am I a joke to you?

Everyone out here wondering and arguing over when it became obvious that Martin had a crush on Jon...

Homeboy had a crush from day one. It only became obvious when Martin went back into that fucking worm house and found Prentiss just because he needed to get enough evidence to prove himself right to Jon.

Martin was so full of pining that he committed several crimes of breaking and entering, and then went back so he could risk his life for some spider webs

That’s gay rights BABY

Me:

Bournemouth feels like it’s closing in on Jon.

Not in any special sense, merely in the way that anywhere you live becomes a little smaller for every year you spend there. The feeling makes him paranoid, it makes him feel too easy to find.

It’s an odd thought considering that there’s no one looking for him. That there’s no one to look for him. He doesn’t really have any friends and any relatives beside his grandmother are long gone. The only person concerned with Jon’s life is himself.

That isn’t quite right though.

There are people, sometimes. A woman with her hair pulled back into a severe bun who looks at Jon like she’s considering the best way to dump his body. Another woman, similar age, who’s covered in tattoos and smiles at him with too-sharp teeth. A portly man with blond hair and glasses just like Jon’s who stares at him like he’s a laboratory experiment rather than a person.

Jon finds the man particularly distasteful. The feeling his gaze elicits is primal and angry and vengeful in a way Jon doesn’t particularly understand the origins of but grips tight nonetheless.

“You should stop looking at me,” he tells the first woman one day when she has a book in her hands and keeps looking up from it as if to see what effect the thing is having on Jon.

“Why?” she asks incredulously, the word sounding like it’s said more as a reaction to his statement than a true question.

Jon turns his gaze upon her.

“I might start looking back.”

He says it like a threat even if he isn’t entirely sure why. The woman must take it as such because she arches an eyebrow and looks at him less like she’s planning how to kill him and more like she’s wondering if she actually can.

Jon leaves quickly. The words hadn’t felt like his own and he’s left suddenly unsure and self conscious. He tries to focus on the knowledge that’s been keeping him going through the last few months of Bournemouth suffocating him to drown out the unease. The offer is printed on a sheet of paper bluetacked to his wall and Jon feels his feet steering him home just so that he can stare at it until he feels like he can breathe.

It’s odd. He had never doubted that he would go to university, academia had always been where Jon pictured himself most comfortable. That had been until he received the email and was forced to spend a week in crisis over whether this might finally be his opportunity to actually know what happened that day with Mister Spider.

Jon takes a deep breath. Two months until he starts as a research assistant at the Magnus Institute, London.

Maybe then he’ll be able to get away from all these eyes.

MAG 16 will always be one of the funniest episodes to me because it’s essentially

Man with a horrible fear of spiders: I’m going to start taking anti psychotics

Man with a worse fear of spiders: yeah man you fucking crazy couldn’t be me

MAG 111 - Family Business

POV you’re Jude Perry

Clingy ass boyfriend

YOU. NEED. A. DOOR.

The moment from Season 2 finale that got stuck in my head

A silly scared archivist

Something I find equal parts hilarious and infuriating is that in any post that mentions Jon, there will be at least one person in the comments or tags saying “I thought this was about Jon Arbuckle”

Happy Ace day everyone <33

They’re having fun

Listen, I love [EXTENDED SOUNDS OF BRUTAL PIPE MURDER] as much as the next person, but I feel like we aren’t giving enough attention to

long hair not in a girl way but instead in a head archivist of the magnus institute way
