Seeking Refuge

The ushanka jokes r too close now y'all

Our Gerard 👀

I recently made this zine for a college assignment and I'm pretty proud of it so thought I'd post it

Originally just wanted to staple it but remembered I know how to bind books so I just used some embroidery thread and think it turned out amazing

And a few spreads before I sewn them up under the cut. I made a few copies for me and my friends

It's got all the fears except one just because I couldn't fit extinction.. I might post the whole zine here if I see some interest in this

Hmm thinking about a martin redesign

So I’ve been on my re listen of the magnus archives

And something that I’m thinking about allot is the “I see you” line, the way it’s used as an anchor. You have the obvious and wel known season 4 lonely “I see you, Jon” but I want to talk about the one in season 3

Because I lost my absolute marbles hearing that line in the season 3 finale. It is Jon suddenly being able to anchor himself and recognising the situation around him, seeing through the stranger.

But the most import part, is how it relates to Tim. Tim has previously stated that he can only be sure Jon is real. He doesn’t trust anyone because anyone could be a stranger, but Jon, Jon is real to him, he knows Jon can’t just be magically replaced.. that’s Tim’s anchor, Jon.

This is THEIR “I see you” moment.

Jon helps Tim Anchor himself which makes him able to recognise the situation and save everyone.

The phrase “I see you” is used in every season finale now expect season 5 (I think?). I don’t know if I’ve fully figured out what that narrative through line means (especially in the case of Sasha) but god is it intresting. Especially cus it’s every member of the original crew that gets the line in some way

I never realised how much my art has grown from all of the 90s Moomin I watched when I was like 12

Also I know technically Martin would be a snork if he had hair but what about if you shut up

“Oh, Archivist.”

It’s finished! Nikola Orsinov kidnapping Jon sent me spiraling so I had to paint it. The horrors he endures😵‍💫🥺 poor Jon. I don’t think the creators meant to have the wax figures melting but that’s how it is in my head

is this anything

i didn't expect so many people to appreciate my work of jon💚🩵martin (<- heres linkk). thank you so much for those who sent messages of support, likes, reblogs, it really made my day ❤️

and it also give me the idea of making this into whole series. but i tend to jinx myself to not finishing so no promises✌️✌️
