Jonathan Archivist hopes you had a wonderful International Ace Day ;w; <3
[ID: Art of Jon Sims, a thin brown man with long hair. He crosses his arms, holding a small ace flag, and says, “Happy international (ace flag) day.” The piece is grayscale with a staticky texture overlaid with purple accents and a purple background. End ID]
[ID: Art of Jon Sims against blank white space. He is a thin brown man with long hair. Almost every inch of his body is covered in staring eyes; he has no facial features, only more eyes that all appear to be looking directly at the viewer. He is wearing shorts and an oversized T-shirt that says “cat-astrophe” with a silhouette of a cat beneath it. / End ID]
[ID: A TMA playing card of spades with Jon Sims and Agnes Montague. The first version has Jon on top and the second Agnes. Jon is a brown man with long curly hair wearing a nazar necklace. He holds a bloody knife and cries inky tears with a somber expression, and he wears a black crown. Agnes is a white woman with thick red curls wearing a white veil with a yellow circle behind it. She holds a lit candle and looks forward with a sorrowful expression, crying tears like flame. End ID]
[ID: Art in the style of a stained glass window of Michael Shelley. He is a thin, pale man reaching out for a doorknob and toward the viewer as his hair curls all around him. The borders feature spirals, eyes, and too-long hands reaching for a yellow line. The original version is simpler and has less detail. End ID]
[ID: A TMA comic in a cartoony style. Michael, a sharp-toothed figure with coiling hair, grins down at Elias while leaning against his chair and says, “Your archivist looks GNC as fuck.” Elias, a suited man, says with a scowl, “You’re insane.” The last image is art of Jon, a tired-looking person with short hair wearing a sweater vest with a bow tie and skirt. He raises his eyebrows, taking his cigarette and saying “what.” End ID]
[VD: An animatic of Jon Sims from TMA set to audio clips of Tom Scott.
1. Jon hits “record” on a tape recorder with a frown while sitting in his office and says, “This is going to be a fairly disappointing video.”
2. Jon speaking into a recorder and holding an axe, the Web table just in view. He says, “I’m putting myself at risk of being sued,” expression falling right as he says “sued.”
3. A close-up of Jon, who’s wearing a loose shirt and has large, irregular eyes across his face and neck. Loudly, he says, “I’m in the English countryside near Canterbury”–the view zooms out to show he’s kneeling in front of Naomi Herne, who sweats with annoyance as she tries to climb out of a grave–“And this is a level crossing.”
4. Jon in the Unknowing, speaking into a recorder with spiral eyes as a mannequin with a creepy clown face and a “Tim” nametag stands in front of him. The colors change as he says, “I’m at a party.”
5. Jon lying in a hospital bed with a rueful smile. With a gravelly voice, he says, “I am back in the UK”—green eyes sprout up around him as he looks at the viewer—“and I have a cold.” End VD]
[ID: A digital painting of Jon Sims recording under a blanket. Jon is a thin brown man with long hair who looks very tired. In his other arm is the Admiral, a smiling gray cat. The lighting is soft. End ID]
[ID: Art of Martin Blackwood sitting at a desk with a mug. He is wearing a red scarf, blue jumper, and red pants, and he is surrounded by stylized, wavy fog. His face is almost completely obscured, a streak of fog smudging it out. An eye and neutral mouth can be seen. End ID]
[ID: An abstract lineless digital painting of Martin Blackwood. The piece is rendered in cool tones with gray, blue, and slate purple. Martin is shown from the bust up as a fat pale person with round glasses composed of floating shapes and suggested by shadow. His clothing floats away from him as abstract rounded shapes. End ID]
[ID: A TMA comic. First is a pastoral shot of the safehouse, surrounded by rolling green, pines, and cows. Text says: “Do you still believe myths can save you?” The view moves to Jon, who’s sitting on the couch and reading a statement labeled as 1081810. The window behind him holds a closed eye, and Jon’s face is entirely in shadow except for one bright green stylized eye. Text says: “Foolish creature.”
Jon stands outside, where the sky is dark and cloudy. Jon is wearing a coat, and he cries with bright green eyes. Text says: “Every version of the story ends.” Finally, Martin cries as he holds Jon, who has a knife jutting from his chest and blood pooling beneath him. Above them is a large stylized green eye. Text finishes: “With you being slaughtered.” End ID]
Fucking finally. I can finally post this and oh fuck I’m so incredibly proud of it. I’m gonna go cry and sleep now
Oh TMA season 5… What an adventure
[ID: Green-toned art of Jon and Martin from TMA walking through London in season five. Jon looks back and sweats as Martin offers a nervous but encouraging smile and a hand. They walk in a beam coming from the Panopticon, a tall tower casting beams of light. The streets are filled with staring silhouettes, people watching from the windows, streetlights covered in cameras, and pigeon creatures with cameras for heads. End ID]
[ID: Digital sketches of Jon Sims done with a green undertone. He’s a thin brown man with short wavy hair. In between the drawings are green stylized eyes. On the top, he’s shown looking sad and defensive, wearing an obersized swearer in the latter. On the bottom, he’s shown smiling, labeled “Rare smiling Jon,” and scared, with his eyes small green pinpricks. End ID]
[ID: A digital painting of Jon and Martin from TMA done in soft, warm colors. They lay together with their hands clasped as Jon kisses Martin on the forehead and Martin smiles sweetly. They’re both wearing golden-yellow sweaters and backed by russet orange. End ID]
“It’s like there’s a, a door, in my mind. And behind it is, is the entire ocean”
“What happens if you open the door?”
“I drown.”
[ID: Dimly lit art of Jon Sims. He’s a thin brown man with long hair floating under dark teal water. He covers his mouth with distress as he looks around with pure green eyes. The water gets darker and more distinct to the bottom, and above his head is a faint circular eye. End ID]
