[the magnus archives] perceiving myself *pmv*

!!SPOILERS FOR UP TO MAG 154!!
cw: domestic abuse implications, death, hospital imagery

nobody tell me the quarantine has made me more productive than it has at this moment. I want to hold gerry keay's hand and tell him he's loved...
sorry if the typography is kinda wonky, this was very experimental in nature and I don't know if I'll make another one of these but I'm really glad I did it!

fun facts for this one:
- I started this right after my touch tone telephone video, but the art block I got halfway through kept me from getting it done.
- the most experimental part of this is the typography, I don't know what I'm doing and it's quite obvious.
- this is partially for my dad, who's gotten into tma with me and is super interested in gerry and his whole family!

wow, my take on emma DID NOT age well.

[emilyskousen]

there are a lot of videos of Martin and Jon, but it's nice to see Gerry getting some well-deserved attention

[asia]

Gerry's life sucked and old women took advantage of him and then he died. God. Every time I think I can't feel for that boy more... amazing art, editing, and coloring!! Thanks so much for posting!!

Gertrude was kind of a horrible person wasn't she lol.

[halfpintrr]

Jesus, poor Gerry. Like he didn’t deserve this. I’m glad to see you do him justice though!

[asherlark]

ogh this is I’ve never heard this song before and I’ll definitely be checking out more by this artist!!! I don’t usually leave comments but this is just so wonderful I have to share my appreciation for it 🥺🥺🥺

[enyafeckenham]

Yes watching this repeatedly is gonna make sad, yes i keep on watching because i love the art

[rohir]

Love that you had the cheek tattoos for Gerry, I don't see them in most art.

[warlckvomitt]

Every time I watch your videos I get the best song recommendations lmao. This Gerry content fuels me- wonderful job!

[bookluvr]

oh man i LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! this is a great exploration of gerry, and the art and style is super cool! also crying is one of my all-time favorite bands so just!!! excellent job 😭

[beansbees]

This is so good! I love this song so much! And the topography is super good! I love how Gerry is always in the foreground while everyone else is towards the back, it has a really cool effect! Also the fact you colored this is incredible!

[cainfox]

AS EXPECTED IM OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO BUT ALSO I AM SO SAD

[cjyay]

I love this so much. I love Gerry very much I agree with what you said in the description about wanting to hold his hand and tell him he’s loved. I just want to give him a hug. Sweet goth boi. I’m just far too attached to Gertrude’s assistants in general. I loved seeing Michael, Emma, and Eric in here, too (not sure who the fourth person is at 1:44 — could you help me out?). I also want to hug all of them. I really like the art style and the vibe of this song fits really well. Fantastic video overall! Loved it. This helped to feed my unhealthy attachment to these characters, so thanks. In all seriousness, 10/10 video, can’t say enough good things about it :)

[devilishjoel]

[ShinyHappyGoth]
