episode 160 ends after martin goes to the store, and then the podcast ends, nothing else happens and everything is happy and it’s a happy Hello, Jon. Apologies for the deception but i wanted to be rather sure you were reading befo-

the amount of times I got hello jon'd by the comment section of this masterpiece

[@AllegoricSiren]

Yea how do you think I feel I get “hello Jon”’d constantly. I put my heart and soul into this content and this is how I’m repaid, by making the apocalypse happen 3 times a week. I fall for it every single time. I am seriously so upset by all the hello Jon. Apologies for the deception, but I rather wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.

@@AllegoricSiren HOW DARE YOUUU!!!! ON MY OWN COMMENT

[@sneakysnek572]

Ngl, it took me a solid two or three minutes to realize what happened when he said “hello Jon.” When it finally hit me, I nearly fell out of my chair, and not in a good way.

[@SpaceSoups]

When did he say that? Do you have a timestamp for the Hello, Jon. Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.

[@InfiniteAnvil]

I love what you did with Jon's expression in the last bit, like he's horrified but also because of his nature he can't help but enjoy it, you managed to convey that in his face, just a really Hello, Jon. Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.

[@AllegoricSiren]

ok FIRST OFF HOW DARE YOU I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT

[@IcestormTundra]

Gods the way he just laughs and cry's at the end makes me shudder a little. Beautiful animatic

[@lokimemes4694]

Damn, the detail in Jon’s eyes is *stunning*

[@ohokay4663]

I cannot describe well enough how FANTASTIC the expressions are. Hearing it in time, I always imagined Jon as somewhat horrified while reading this statement- Seeing him fall into being controlled by Jonah, though, changed the whole mood of the statement for the better, I think. This animatic is pure gold!!

[@AllegoricSiren]

I am so torn because like, the statement giver completely taking over Jon? Yes, but also Jon being aware of his surroundings and what’s going on during this scene and being completely unable to stop it and seeing that in his expression? Mmmmmmmmmm that’s also so good.

[@cascharles3838]

The way you captured his equal amounts of despair and awe is STUNNING

[@madam-mint]

hRK. STOP MAKING ME CRY OVER A FANDOM IM NOT IN. NO FAIR!

[@AllegoricSiren]

Excuse me you need to get into this fandom rn and not watch any more videos until you finish the series. It will only take 6 days if you watch for only 12 hours a day :) Lol on a more serious note you seriously need to watch the Magnus Archives now that you’ve gotten a peek at what it becomes. It’s *so* good and there’s more to come. It’s releasing it’s final season rn so :) I’m dying.

[@SorchaSublime]

I wish we had a recording of Ben Meredith doing this monologue. It would be cool to have them overlap in animatics.

[@AllegoricSiren]

Ugh. Yes. I’m a patron so maybe if patron memebers request it enough they can do it

[@conibal5045]

ooooh i absolutely love how terrified john looks but also how hes smiling at the same time, especially with martins reaction to it its absolutely amazing

[@Penelope-rc6xl]

me, through tears: it’s good. *sniffles* it’s good

[@newspaper_stand]

This episode already gave me chills, but this animatic amplified it by 100% percent [also 666th view, nice]

[@AllegoricSiren]

PossiblyACryptid haha nice

[@olly9685]

this is AMAZING! i especially loved the opening of jon's 3rd eye, and the split between him and jonah, and the red after the ritual is completed, and martin staring with awe and fear at jon, who's all-glossy eyed with mania and reverence for the watcher. stunning!!!!!!

[@jamiel6005]

2:33 yeah thats the face. that face right there is just *Chef's kiss* perfection

[@PrincessX-ke8tj]

If I had a nickle for everytime Jonny Sims had a finale where reality tore and incomprehensable, horrific, terrifying eldrich beings arrived, and we find out through a voice recording made by people aware of these powers when most of the world is not, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it is kinda weird that it happened twice.

Heralded by opening doors, too

[@captaincrazycreative]

The way you draw John is PERFECT. It perfectly threads that needle between horror and reverence.

[@AllegoricSiren]

Love and appreciate you but canceled for spelling it John /j

[@assuredpug]

THE AMOUNT OF GODDAMN HELLO JON’S IS SO FUNNY Like it is literally this fandom’s rickroll, and that’s super interesting. But it also kind of makes me a little bit mad whenever Hello Jon, apologies for the deception but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to introduce myself

[@lpetrey97]

Amazing!!! When Martin took those tiny steps back from Jon..... :'((((( my poor sons

[@kellkeefe1375]

OH MY GOD O U C H THIS WAS INCREDIBLE i love the expressions and movements that indicate that jon's taken over by elias and then the END PART GOD THAT WAS GOOD thank you i am crying

[@kane1253]

This is amazing. I love how you captured Jon’s maddened expression

[@harleypowell5274]

God this was so good! The monologue always occupies my full attention and the split with Jonah and the way everything is red after the eye opens is so good! Wonderful job with this animatic thanks so much for sharing it!

[@aw3707]

AAAAAAHHHH NOOO god I just listened to this episode last night and as jon was reading the statement I was like "oh god mARTIN c'mon this is a great time to come home early oh shit oh fuck" and aaaAAAghhh season 5. how fun.

[@brighidcampbell491]

I was PRAYING that Martin would come in and tackle him to the ground mid monologue 😢

[@dumatki]

Holy shit im screaming you captured this so perfectly esp at the very end when he just sobs into martins shoulder that was such a good touch

[@thetypingdragon]

Holy shit this is amazing. The expressions and the way you portrayed the ritual taking place, and they way you had the statement completely controlling Jon and not just his voice! The change in color scheme was so cool. Also again: THE EXPRESSIONS!!! Jon’s expressions during the ritual (his eyes!!!) and Martin’s terrified expression in the end, oh my god it’s all so great. Also again, the whole eye opening and then exploding thing as the ritual took place? Very cool.

[@beansbees]

I love this! The watcher imagery and the color change are so good!

[@dumatki]

I completely forgot my exclamation points!!!!!! Cuz wow i cant believe someone finally animated it and its so GOOD your jon is *a million chefs kisses*

ive listened to this episode multiple times but this STILL made me tear up. The part where we see half of elias’s face is sooo good. Love how expressive you draw jon and also the Eye opening gave me chills! Phenomenal work

[@pinkymmg]

You know, I was just looking for a clip from a mcyt. But I somehow ended up here.... With mothman apparently

[@AllegoricSiren]

Bro, listen to the Magnus archives and forget what you saw. It’s a horror anthology podcast with a meta narrative and this animatic was the culmination of a lot of strings coming together. Highly recommend. Can be a bit slow to get through S1 and S2, but after that the plot starts really going.

[@daniellecollins8257]

Yeah your expressions and movement through the whole end sequence are amazing

[@AllegoricSiren]

Thanks, I spent a long time making sure they were right

[@AllegoricSiren]

Dude I am so grateful for all of the amazing comments and feedback. I’m glad everyone enjoys the video! If you’re interested, I have an Instagram where I post most of my art, though beware I will always be up-to-date with the most recent episodes so beware of spoilers. instagram.com/allegoricsiren/ I’ve been trying to post more on both KZbin and Insta as of late (I have 5 animatics lined up for TMA but all of them are kicking my ass in planning) so if you want subscribe? I also share a link in the RQ-Fanworks chat in their official discord so you can find future TMA content from me like that if you don’t want to subscribe. Alright thanks for reading my message take care

[@AllegoricSiren]

Also if you’re wondering about the lack of TMA content, I only discovered TMA 2 weeks ago as of today so, yea lol.
