I'm obsessed with them so hard
MAHTIN !!!! JON !!!! JMART!!!!!!!!
Jon Moment
I'm trying to draw one thing every day for the month so yeah
The Magnus Protocol | Ep 18 "Solo Work"
The Magnus Archives | Ep 001 "Anglerfish"
So when are we gonna admit as a fandom that Jon is just Ponyos dad but less fishy >:)
Okay here me out the jmj error isnt jon, martin and jonah its jon, martin and JOSHUA GILLESPIE!!!
THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE OFC HE'D SURVICE THE EYEPOCALYPSE!! i need him i miss him come back baby girl🩷
Imagining neighbouring residents seeing this malnourished man of perhaps less than average height clambering into Gertrude flat wheezing like a broken bellows
They definitely called the cops out of fear that this weird man would injure himself
Sometimes we must remember
Season Two!Jon = Funniest Jon
he thought he was subtle
HE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING SECRETIVE (and was SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you, when people called him out)

Why MothJohn when OwlJohn?
Okay so like being serious here; what's with everyone assigning Monster Johnathan Sims into being a Moth? Why can't he be an owl?
This has bugged me an inordinate amount and in true Eye Lady fashion, I'm gonna try to prove my propaganda ideation has merit (and also unravel this bloody mess).
--------------------------------------
Please help me unravel this with your own theories/responses/knowledge this is critical for my AO3 Magnus x (OwnSeries) AU
--------------------------------------
Points for OwlJohn:
Owl symbolism in the Magnus Institute's logo
Owls (mainly the Little Owl) are associated with the Greek Goddess Athena (Goddess of Wisdom, Warfare and Handicrafts), and the Eye is a Wisdom-based Entity fragment.
Being an Owl (Athena) puts them at odds with Spider (Arachne), thus being reflective of the Eye (Watching) and Web (Acting) mindsets.
Harpy John! Like, hello???? Bird wings??? Being a big floofy owl creature like Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House????
Owls blink super quickly so like, metaphor for not being able to close eyes?
Points for MothJohn (so far)
Mentions of a 'chrysalis' in MAG 162
Death's-head Hawkmoths are apparently tied to supernatural/evil things?????? [Source: Wikipedia..? (i cant remember)]
Moths apparently represent transformation and rebirth??? [Source: some website labelled the "Tarrant Country College" idk i took a cursory glance]

Moths can have eyes on their wings to scare off predators (Courtesy of @nonbinarytoast)
If I've missed anything, please tell me because I'm genuinely curious for the sake of the Magnus-(Own Series) AU I'm cooking on AO3.
Might even try cooking a MothJohn vs OwlJohn propo image, or use one of my Archivist OCs for the Magnus-(OwnSeries) AU. Or both. Or all three.
(Also yes I know about Sphinx!Jonn and Dragon!John variations but there's no. bloody. owls.)
Alternative Idea;
Heads of Institutes/Key Eye Avatars: Owls
Archivists/Assistants: Moths
Unaffiliated: Cats..? (Idk I read cats can represent curiosity), Ravens..? (Odin's key bird that represents insight)
Also Alternate Idea;
CatMoth John. I have no reason why in particular but it's funny to me.
Further, more like canonical idea;
Its a subconscious determination and not so much a role decided.
John chose a moth because (insert Points for MothJohn regarding episodes).
Jonah probably would have picked an owl because anything vaguely insinuating a gods involvement sounds about right to him.
If Gerry were alive and had a choice/wanted to I see him picking a Raven probably. Or an Owl. Or nothing.
Rosie as a cat feels pretty cute but realistically I think she'd be a moth just cause of her feelings on being trapped by Elias/Jonah
Albert Von Closen I don't care much for your monster form so I won't bother
Serapeum Archivist should be a Sphinx or an Owl Harpy because of how corrupted they are. Moth would work but uh... idk I like the Serapeum Archivist too much.
Gertrude is stuck as a moth and she'd hate it (reasonably I see her refusing a monster form)
Amy Patel you're an Owl now because of your w a t c h i n g

Jon never looks the way I mean him to. But I wanted to draw hair, and now, I have done so.
Wooooo since i love Magnus archives and Perfect blue 1997 i thought i should do a lil redraw of the poster :3
And also people have been enjoying my other magnus posts so i hope you enjoy :))
Some more magnus archives x perfect blue art!
Dont mind me being lazy w the second pics bg :( i am tired
More coming tomorrow! But enjoy these lazy ones for now of john suffering/hj
CW: nudity (nothing is explicitly shown)
ANOTHER screenshot redraw of perfect blue, i thought this would be a more iconic frame to do
And also practice with where john is scarred or “marked” by the different fears :3
Based off that one meme, but yeah switched fixations
Holy crap huuuuugggge magnus archives art dump, some of these are old so if designs change then yknow why
Then theres an attempt at replicating the don bluth art style for john, martin and helen, as well as drawing not sasha :3
God i love drawing john looking evil i need to do it more oftenn,,
Also how do you guys feel abt magnus self insert/ self shipping? Are ppl cool w that?
