Hey girl, sorry about your husband! Yeah, after that hiking trip where you got stuck in the mountains he was chosen by omniscient cosmic horrors to inherit a curse from a past life because your other friend refused to appease their blood chants. He’s a werewolf now and he tried to hunt and kill the three of you. But hey, he doesn’t want to anymore, is protecting ur neighbourhood from more horrors AND he remembers your anniversary #girlwin
I was going to do Maruu's draw the Life Series in your style template but then I got blindsided by a revival of my From the Archives brainrot... so I co-opted the template and did designs for some of the FTA cast members instead!! RIP Skizz and BigB you are. Not in the series for long enough to get a design.
From the Archives is a mcyt/The Magnus Archives crossover series by @sixteenth-days and her co-writer zephaniah grains! If you haven't read it and think it sounds interesting you can find it here
I originally had an animatic of a rough reading I'd did of Sixteenthday's Riverbed fic, but it didn't want to export so here's the reading still.
Three of my favorite frames from the bugged animatic will be below the read more. (warning, one has roughly drawn whale bones with no gore. Just bones on a shore.)
For someone with thalassophobia and cannot at all look at things ocean related, I think I did a very good job with this. (I am also immensely thankful to have a partner who helped look it up and described to me what oarweeds and whale bones looked like lmao. Lova ya, dear.)
[VD: A grayscale Magnus Archives animatic of Jon and Gerry talking in episode 111 of The Magnus Archives. Gerry, a ghostly goth, and Jon, a thin brown man in a graphic T-shirt, sit together at a table. Gerry says scornfully, "Playing politics with things they didn’t understand. Reckoned her tradition was less the academic and more the, uh…" Jon offers dryly, "V-Village witch?"
Gerry laughs, pleased, and asks, "You sure you don’t know her?" He sighs, sobers, and says, "Yeah. But deep down what she wanted wasn’t all that different from the ivory tower idiots she hated. Y’know, I think, secretly, she dreamed of starting a little mystic dynasty of her own." He grimaces. "With me."
Jon says a little eagerly, "Like the, the Lukases? Or the Fairchilds?" Gerry corrects, "Well, Fairchild’s just a name, they’re not really family." Then he does a finger gun and says, "The Lukases, though, yeah."
He turns away, pensive and frowning, and says, "Thing is, it’s harder than it looks. What’s out there… doesn’t care about blood." Jon, grinning a little, says, "Well, I-I mean, except for the vampires…" Gerry scowls, "Yeah, obviously except for the vampires." Jon looks abashed, and Gerry looks down sorrowfully to say, "But they care about your choices, your fears, not your parents." End VD]
