a well rested, well fed, well loved melanie for health week of @melaniemonth!
I KNOW that TMA is a tragedy, but I think Jon deserved to see the Admiral being 40 foot tall and living his best life in the post-apocalyptic wasteland :(
first time im posting art on here, so take some jon and the admiral doodles
edit: forgot to mention i drew this for jon sims and cats day hosted by @jonsimsandcats
[ID: Three pencil sketches of Jon Sims with the Admiral. Jon is a thin brown man with his hair in a bun. First, he sleeps on his desk with the Admiral curled in front of him. Second, he looks backwards with a tired expression to where the Admiral is happily sleeping on his back and says, “… right.” Third, he and the Admiral look in the same direction, with the Admiral perching on Jon’s shoulder. A speech bubble says, “They’re judging you.” End ID (ID originally by @princess-of-purple-prose since i forgot to write one, sorry!!)]
[ID: Cream-toned art of Jon Sims, a thin brown man with long hair. He is lying flat on the floor with his limbs spread out and papers and tapes scattered around him. He is wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, and his right hand is bandaged. The Admiral, a large tabby cat, sits fully over his face and purrs. End ID]
I recently listened again to episode 85 while walking home in the evening and it is still among my favorites. The lyrical quality of the poem it is based upon echoes on through the statement and so the episode has it all, heartbreaking, existential dread, confusion and melancholy, a dreamlike atmosphere and then some extremely charming, friendly banter between Jon and Georgie which reveals so very well, that under all his cynical standoffishness of season one and obsessed paranoia from season two, Jon actually is genuinely a sweet and funny guy.

[image description: The first image is a digital, black and white chalk-charcoal drawing on light grey background. The drawing is contained in an oval shape. It shows a hallway with a staircase. A man is standing on the lower steps of the staircase and stares up at a white shape of a human figure that appears on the steps above him. The scene is dimly lit by a lightsource coming from the front and the right, lighting up the man at the bottom of the staircase from behind and casting is shadow upon the steps. The stairs dissolve into dark shadows further up, the steps and the banister slowly twisting in to a spiral curve towards the lift side of the image, implying a shift of perspective.
The second image is a colored sketch of Jon and Georgie. Jon sits at a table, statement folder, tape recorder and a tea mug in front of him. He scratches the Admiral’s chin who made himself comfortable on Jon’s lap. Jon’s face is in profile widely smiling at Georgie who stands next to him, ready to leave for a date wearing a light coat and her purse slung over her left shoulder. She gives him a teasing look and smiles back at him. ]
Re-watched Mina Le’s video on Audrey Hepburn and I felt the need to draw it. And to re-watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I mostly remember that the cat had a cool name and walked on the shelves.
[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]
