New Power

John using his powers on Breekon when it is delivering the coffin.

I’ve gotta say ep 128 has been one of my all time favorites. I wasn’t expecting Breekon and Hope’s story to be so detailed and fascinating and the closing line of the statement being ‘I have never known hate before. I have never known loss. But now they are with me always, and I desire nothing but to share them without you.’ was so fucking powerful.

I was telling my brother that I was starting to see Magnus Archives like a weird turf war between the fears and our heroes are just being pulled into it but I accidentally spelled turf ‘terf’ which lead to this:

Ya’ll early hundreds of Magnus Archives is wretched. Like stella writing, 10s across the board, wouldn’t change a thing but everyone holding back from everyone else is such rough. Going. I’m just listening to the episode where John and Martin finally talk properly after the circus and it is wretched. Martin having to be isolated. John being isolated. Basira being isolated. I want all my sweet babes back together. Not that they were super happy go lucky before this but at least they felt unified. Now they’re all keeping secrets, keeping distant. John’s humanity is slipping away and no-one seems to care. Martins mum fucking died and he can’t even get a damn hug. Melanie is having a psychotic break because of the ghost bullet. John was in a coma for 6 months and literally no-one has said they’re glad he’s ok. I’m devouring eps like it’s going out of style and I know it will be for a reason, a really good, really well written reason (and this is extremely standard fare for horror) but Christ almighty. Just dragging myself through the mud here.

✨Johnathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London✨ (with resting ‘I look at the darkest parts of the world and see the darkest parts look back’ face)

Up to ep 93 of Magnus now. I’m glad I was able to put to page how I was picturing Johnathan but jeez it wasn’t easy. Im proudest with how his hair turned out. I wanted it to look like before being archivist, John would style his hair back but these days for the most part it goes unstyled or is styled occasionally and the style inevitably falls out. It was also interesting drawing someone who is supposed to look older then they are and try to nail that mix. Anywhoosle bee. More Magnus art on the way I’m sure.
