THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES HAS POSSESSED ME 

This is my first lyric comic! Just in case, tw for blood, murder, and really unhealthy relationships, I guess?

I’m not sure how well these will load, as this is my first time posting pictures on tumblr, so here’s hoping tumblr doesn’t crunch the quality! If it does, maybe I could try to repost? Idk.

This is a lyric comic using the song “This is love” by Air Traffic Controller. The characters come from the Vargas AU made by @zarla-s, and it is absolutely fantastic! If you want to know more about the AU or the story it is based on, zarla explains it pretty well, so check out their stuff! 

I tend to ramble, so I’m going to put the comic and the rest of my spiel under a read more, for the sake of not making a huge post that’s annoying to scroll past. XD

For the sake of not reposting the chorus multiple times, I put it and the bridge together at the end, but the rest is in order. If anyone is curious about my design choices, feel free to ask. If anyone wants to redraw this better, also feel free! I know it is super messy and amateur-ish, but I was inspired to make this after I saw Zarla’s post mentioning the idea!

This took quite a while to make, and I actually intended to post this yesterday, but I think the day after Christmas is probably close enough. (,^~^)

Small note, I’m sure someone will probably notice similarities between some of my art and ones zarla posted. It’s probably most noticeable with the angel, tbh. But yeah, that was kinda on purpose? I don’t draw much, even though I enjoy it, so I’m not great at things like perspective and proportions. So, I used zarlas art as a reference for poses, trying to get close-ish to the original art without outright tracing. Then once I got more comfortable drawing the characters, I branched out more, like with the dancing scene. (^w^)

Any text in light grey/white is Edgar singing, dark grey is Scri, red is Nny, black is Nny and Scriabin, and for one scene the orange to red gradient is the waste-lock parasite speaking. I hope I did alright and kept it all mostly in character!

(Also, may I suggest “Mr. Fear” by siames as being sung to Edgar by Scriabin? It just feels like it fits.) 

(I own nothing but my own drawings, the Vargas AU and fic are Zarlas, and the original story is from “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac” by  Jhonen Vasquez.)

for as much as I love all the different John Doe interpretations, I still think the funniest thing would be if John was given a choice of physical form and he went “I guess ill just go with what I’m used to???” And boom now Arthur has an identical twin

That is Rose Lalonde and Doc Scratch! Likely from act 4 i think. (its been a bit since i read it) (^v^)b

it was always the plan to put the world in your hand

Am I an idiot? I’m asking because I have never taken art lessons. I’ve never taken animation lessons. I’ve barely even practiced drawing in sketchbooks or notebooks. For all intents and purposes I am an amateur at any art form involving drawing or sketching.

And yet here I am, attempting to commit myself to finishing an animation meme, despite having almost no free time and practically never having touched an animation program before. 

I’m basically working off youtube videos and nothing else for instructions on what to do/ avoid doing. I animated two 1 second clips to help get used to the program and jumped right in.

Wish me luck I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know what I’m actually slightly mad about? I was going through my screenshots (mostly because I have so many I cant even remember what all is in there) and I found some that are of funny moments from fanfiction. 

The issue is... most of them are from before I got an ao3 account, so I didn’t bookmark any of them. And while I can remember where some of them are from, most of them I need to search to find them again.

However, while I can tell what fandom they are from based on any character names in the screen shots, if there isn’t anything more specific in the picture it means I would need to go searching through possibly thousands of stories (using find in page on the entire work) just to find them again. That’s assuming they weren’t just deleted!

>:(

I am very frustrated by my middle school self’s tendency towards saving things but not labeling them. It means that college me (with better mental health) needs to do it years later... oof.

Deltarune chapter 2, possible spoiler warning! Also maybe spoilers for a certain comic! Might as well warn for my long as heck rant too. I am incapable of being concise unless forced to be. XP

I have been in love with deltarune chapter 2, I swear! Who else is kinda excited to notice both chapters have a secret boss with some level of 4th wall breaking knowledge that previously knew a shop keeper. Once the full game comes out, we will know if its a pattern I guess!

ALSO! I don’t know how many people reading this have also read the comic, but there is a deltarune comic that seems to have nearly predicted some parts in deltarune chapter 2. It’s called Papertrail by lynx-griffon, and its so good! 

SPOILERS BELOW!

So yeah, it has lots of stuff from chapter 2, like Noelle entering the darkworld, having ice powers (although i suppose thats pretty common sense given her theme), it being possible to have darkworlds outside of the school, and the fact that lightners can actively create them, as opposed to stumbling across them like Narnia. I am kinda hoping other stuff they included turns out to be accurate as well!

Also, @baka-monarch, have you played it yet? if so, we gotta talk about it! i’m not completely done with chapter 2 yet, but you also know I am incapable of avoiding spoiling stuff for myself. (unpopular opinion, spoiling stuff isn’t always bad, at least not when its just for yourself. don’t spoil stuff for others though.) If you have played, I suspect you would like Swatch, Spamton, and the Swatchton ship. Swatch has given everyone gender envy (even me somehow, their androgyny is on point), and a decently sized group of people agree Spamton possibly transed his gender. Their ship is just 10/10 fancy boi x trash goblin content.

Hello to whoever is reading this! (probably one very specific person, you know who you are :) ) 

I am tired, “mildly” incompetent, and am here for the chaos!
