Sporadicsharkdeer - Silly Little Guy Time

The thing about watching TMA is that you spend 200 episodes being told that Jon's fatal flaw is his inability to "turn a blind eye" from anything, and yet, when you hear about a women who wakes up in a fresh grave on her every birthday, you, like Jon, want to hear that story too.

You (or otherwise known as the audience) know just as well as Jon that by taking statements he loses a bit of humanity and dooms the statement giver to relive their trauma every night in their sleep. But... that knowledge is tempting. It's so hard not to want to know. I mean, which birthday did it start? Which entity causes it? How does the statement giver feel about what's happening to her? You want to know so many things, despite understanding that's all for worst.

I think the point of TMA is that audience IS Jon to a certain degree. I think we're supposed to be just as bad as he is when it comes to the pursuit of understanding and knowledge, even when it's something that should be left alone. And the moment in the screenshot above is when I first had that thought, because when I first saw this conversation I went "Is he not going to elaborate on her story? That's kind of disappointing. I would have loved to get a full statement on that." Only to realize "Oh. Yikes. That's the exact same mindset that has lead Jon to this point."

Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"

First sketch for Peter Lukas ('7')/ fun fact(?) : In my wip drawing have Leitner but when I finished the sketch, I decide to give the design to Peter-----

thinking about the messy side of Jonah. The “I beat an old man to death and called it an overreaction” side. The “I have to pry out my eyeballs (by myself) and push them into another guys head so I can live forever” side. He’s fucking insane.

I’ve had this idea for a while I’m glad I finally did it

NOOOOOOO

Day 6: Hugs

YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD HUG?

The mommy issues in TMA are off the wall. Here's an abusive cold mother, there's an abusive cold mother. Is she a mom? Then you can bet your ass she's going to have the deft tones of a Adora Crellin french kissing the Evil Queen from Snow White. Mother figure? Don't think you're safe either — she won't tell you about the brain tumor you have and when it kills you she won't even cry about it and you'll feel stupid for thinking she ever would. There's a big evil monster spider and we call her "The Mother" too. Even the grandmother's are like at best fed up with you and tired of having to provide for others, and at worst segmenting you And what makes it so much weirder is that Jonathan Sims our writer seems to have a super chill fun relationship with his cool english teacher Mom — such to the point she agreed to act in his podcast, PLAYING A COLD AND CALCULATING MOTHER FUCKER.

I was gonna make a joke about how I say “I need to go the circus again” the way people used to say they need to go to the sea to balance their humors. But I realized the circus balances humors too
