[image description: a five paneled comic done in warm colors of sasha, tim, martin, and jon from the magnus archives. the first panel is a closeup from sasha’s back of her and tim hugging. the second panel is of martin looking up at tim as he is explaining something, his hand on his shoulder. the third panel is of sasha, asleep, resting her head on jon’s shoulder in front of some shelves. the fourth is of martin brushing his fingers against jon’s as he hands him a mug of tea with bookshelves behind them, and the fifth and final panel is of the whole archives crew all together, linking arms as they walk down a street.
sasha is a thin, dark-skinned black woman with long braids tied into a ponytail. tim is a chubby, brown-skinned filipino man with short, spiky dark hair. martin is a fat, light-skinned mixed white and filipino man with short dark hair, and jon is a thin, brown-skinned pakistani man with short dark hair streaked with gray. end id]

[ID: A digital painting of Martin Blackwood and Tim Stoker from The Magnus Archives. Martin is a fat mixed Filipino and White man with tan skin, shaggy and slightly curly dark brown hair, and some facial hair on his chin. He is wearing a blue sweater and bright yellow cardigan, and is looking behind himself at Tim with a fond expression on his face as he chops garlic, the pieces flying from the knife. Tim is a Filipino man with brown skin scarred in small circles over his body, mussed dark brown hair, and a stubbly mustache and beard. He has pierced ears and nails painted black, and is wearing a stained white T-shirt under an unbuttoned red button-up with short sleeves. Tim is holding a soy sauce bottle in one hand, looking at it with a weary yet soft expression on his face. They are framed against a textured beige wall with a slight shadow behind them. In front of their heads in white against yellow text reads “keeping my lungs and holding my tongue.” Below this text, “fricklefracklefloof, jawbonemage” is written in black. In front of Martin is yellow text that reads “artists” with “captaincravatthecapricious” and “exyfordays” underneath, while in front of Tim is yellow text that reads “betas” with “pocketsizedquasar” and “closet-trumpet-monkey” underneath. /End ID.]
