They’re the very definition of “i can love him so much that the narrative changes”

[@mossiistars]

"I can fix him"

[@atlanderwrites]

“There wasn’t supposed to be any romance in this story, and then JonMartin happened.”

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

Just ask Annabelle

[@ThatOneArchivist]

@@atlanderwritesmore like “and then their fandom happened” tbh

Tbf it was extremely unpopular at first lol it was even a running joke​@@ThatOneArchivist

[@ariannay766]

the detail of Martin dropping his phone and just RUNNING when he realizes Jon is in a coma in the hospital HURT me

[@Cheshire5174]

I love the "those three little words" line, cause its obviously meant to be "i love you" but that scene has three just as important little words; "i see you"

[@mossiistars]

OH MY GOD. OUCH??????

[@Sherylmikk]

The moment he goes "eheh....oh no........noooo" is so perfect!!

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

I get the feeling that was the moment Jon realized Martin only lied about his resumé. His relieved laughter fits here.

[@sophiamanetakis8097]

Two things 1. I have no idea who these funny little characters are 2. I have in fact fallen in love with them

[@mossiistars]

theyre from a podcast called The Magnus Archives!

[@iesika7387]

Having just finished listening to TMA for the... 3rd time, "Because if you don't hate me I can't hate myself" is such a Jonathan Sims line. (I mean, he absolutely *can* still hate himself, no matter how much Martin loves him. But Martin sure does make it hard for him to.)

[@chloegibbs7204]

GOSH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I must admit, this was quite the unconventional ending for a horror series, but boy am I glad these characters got their happy ending and absolutely nothing else happened after this!

[@mossiistars]

yeah, can't believe TMA was only 4 seasons long!

[@whomstisthis]

Yeah he really loved telling Jon about those cows when he got back home with the tea, you know? He found a really neat one out there and they cuddled the end

[@Dratchet]

That mouthing "because I love you" is so well done. It's so readably animated, great job!

[@voidcritter2334]

"child neglect book from grandma" real anyways I LOVE THISR AHHHHHHH

"Why did i choose such a ling song for my first animatic" lmaooo sometimes it's the hardest things that call out to us XD

i paused it a couple times whenever text appears and saw "shit im touching his martits" This genuinely made me laugh.

So real 😭 im not even on Season 3 yet but I know most basic plot points up to early season 5 💀👍

[@TheBluestflamingos]

I love your "Jon hair hasn't been brushed since he left the hospital, and he hasn't shaved but can't grow a beard, and he's wearing Martin's sweater and he's drowning in it" take. Much as I love a handsome Jon with a beautiful ponytail, lets be honest, S4 Jon isn't taking care of his appearance. Also, this whole video makes me yearn for an AU where they officially started dating in S3. Seeing them be boyfriends that eairly is so cute 😍 *edit: more to ramble about Love "Am I attracted to this?!" Followed by Martin bluescreening 😳 Jon definitely misunderstood that and thought he just spooked him.

[@mossiistars]

No yeah, Jon in s4 definitely looked like a soggy rat. Also yeah, Jon is over there having a panic attack while Martin is just fantasizing about his creepy eldritch horror boyfriend

[@kieransaul2711]

FUCK where are my pre-canon Jonmartin dating fics someone gimme. (Besides that one “Gertrude is Alive” AU doing the Lord’s work)

Oh my GOSH. THIS IS THEM. How have I never heard this song before??? Immediately added it to my TMA playlist-- Your art style is literally the CUTEST. I love them so much. 🥺

[@ItaliQueers]

The fun thing about this song is that at first it was just a sort of joke the singer made on TikTok, then people were like “what if it’s actually more enemy to lovers?” And then another person said something along the lines of “sad stuff happen!” And in the end the singer put everything together and made the song. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
