guy who's never been seen without a dress shirt arrives at the archives like this wyd
WIP
I'm cleaning up the sketches
He's three apples tall!
In the AU, he teases Jon for being short, even though he's only slightly taller himself, but he wears platform boots, which make him look taller
Btw, this is how I imagine Gerry draws himself
So... I'm not going to lie, I don't care if I didn't finish the drawings, I want to talk about this.
Part 1/?
...
Okay, Jon, Sasha, Georgie, Martin, Tim, and Danny went to the pizzeria when they were kids. But our dear man behind the slaughter (AKA Jonah Magnus) was, as always, searching for a way to achieve immortality. Killing kids and taking their lifespan (and remnant) seemed like the best alternative, apparently.
So, Jonah finds a rich man (AKA Peter Lukas) who could help him with his evil plans (without knowing about the evil plans, of course) One day, Jonah lures Georgie and Danny backstage for a little *stab stab*, and Jon, being the curious one, follows them, sees everything, and tries to tell someone. But no one believes him (except for Tim). Even though, the kids were still missing, so people knew something had happened. They just thought Jon’s version was how his mind tried to cope with the trauma. Everyone’s devastated. Then five more kids go missing: Melanie, Basira, Daisy, Michael (Shelley), and Julia.
So they take little Jon to a therapist in hopes of uncovering the truth and finding the missing kids. Guess who the therapist is? Annabelle Cain. For unknown reasons, she gaslights Jon into believing what he saw wasn’t real. (She knew it was real, and Jonah knew she was “on his side.”)
Eventually, Michael’s body is found outside the pizzeria, and the place gets shut down as a crime scene. It never regains its popularity. At first, they arrest Jonah for neglect, but then they pin everything on Gertrude, since Jonah seems squeaky clean (which he is very much not).
Years later, Sasha, Tim, and Jon share a flat. Jon’s unemployed (living rent-free), Sasha’s getting her master’s degree, and Tim is the marketing manager of some company. One day they get a newsletter, and Tim sees the pizzeria is hiring again. He rants about it to Jon, still convinced the guy in the bunny suit took his brother (secretly hoping Danny’s still alive)
Jon, being sensitive about it, decides to get the job to prove Tim wrong. How would he do that? Who knows. He was a bit drunk when he made that decision. Later, he tells Annabelle about it (she's still his therapist), and she says it might be good exposure therapy, plus, Jon still needs a job.
I know this has been done before, but I have my own TMA FNAF AU and no one is going to stop me.
Hello, Jon
Don't worry, I'm just kidding!!
Thanks for all the enthusiasm, mootie!
Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to have some decent sketches ready to go along with the lore bits, but this is taking way more time than I expected. So, for now, I’ll share this:
When everything started, it was just Jonah and Peter Lukas. Jonah was arrested for the missing children, and after getting out, he took the pseudonym Elias Bouchard to have a "fresh start"
I want to share more but I'll finish the drawings first!
Just a heads up, this is like 1% canon-compliant. I had to change a lot to make it work, and I’m still fleshing some things out
Oh! And here’s my personal favorite: Gerry! (Yes, he’s the phone guy)

Heyyy mootie!
Could you please make some more David art for me?
Specifically of my Magnus Institution AU version of him(Here’s the link to my blog for that AU: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/wehateourjobsowemadethisblog)(He’s so close to crashing out)
Here’s what he looks like in that AU btw
Honestly I’m considering giving him black hair for some reason.
I like your AU by the way :)
Based on this:
of course michael distortion was born angry. but hey guys do think it would still try to be near gertrude subconsciously searching for her approval just as michael shelley did. now intentionally unsettling and intimidating and sarcastic and mocking and derisive but still something along the lines "you can't get rid of me, you can't abandon me now. i stay here, therefore you have no choice but to accept me. please accept me again; please show that you didn't mean what you did."
thinking about this one au where michael distortion continues to work in the archives after michael shelley's death because apparently you can't leave the archives even if you aren't you anymore

Ok I’ve been a little busy but wanted to get this out so here’s the basic line up and a small rundown of the characters
It’s going to be under the cut because man this list is crazy long
Jon- Jack Skellington
This is kinda obvious they are both the MC’s of their own story. But more than that, they both have that untapped curiosity and need to know. I mean Jaco had a whole lab set up in the movie. It could also tie back to Jon with his whole “unrelating need for knowledge and distain for boredom” that he talked about having as a child. In this AU I imagine he didn’t grow out of it quite as much as he did in TMA. Although I would still argue that he doesn’t like being bored in TMA I mean while he’s supposed to be “lying low” he still goes out several times to interview people. He also still has some eye magic things like forcing people to tell him things and going all ceaseless watch. But it’s more magic than fear god and I think eyes are a pretty Halloweeny thing.
Martin- Sally
Listen I’m a Jmart girly all the way and I think he fits her storyline so well. He has her cleverness and ingenuity and I can so see him brewing up different poison soups, it’s just like tea. I can’t remember if it’s a cannon or fannon fact that he knits but I think that goes nicely with the whole seamstress thing sally has. I can’t also see him using the detachable limbs thing a lot more to his advantage. Also I think that both him and Sally are mischaracterized to softer versions of themselves and are way more devious than people first think. I would also change his background a bit so his mom is Doctor Finkelstein, but like she is mad at him for his help but still needs it. It’s complicated and I’ll got over it more in her section. But Martin is a complicated guy with his fair share of mommy issues but a good hear and is way smarter than people give him credit for.
Sasha- The Mayor
Sasha has a lot of big changes to her story. First off she is a very competent mayor working more with Jon kinda like a business partner than blind follower. She runs all of the day to day events and basics of running the town. She does all the business and Jon does Halloween essentially. She likes her job and is very good at what she does, and unlike the NMBC mayor she is pretty much the leader of Halloween town. Sasha’s other face the one she flips to is actually Not-Sasha. She looks and acts completely different but everyone still treats her like the same person. It’s a running gag that Non-Sasha looks a little different every time Sasha flips between faces but nobody ever says anything
Daisy- Zero
Yes I know I’m jumping out of order but it will make sense soon. Daisy and Zero was one part actually story stuff and other parts i thought it would be funny. In terms of story she acts like her season 4 self. She’s Jon’s best friend ever since he he found her as a wandering sprit, vicious and more wolf than woman. Think season 5 daisy but if Jon was actually able to save her. Alongside the help of Daisy’s old partner Jon used whatever Halloween magic he has to pull Daisy’s humanity back to the surface. Im thinking they got stuck in the coffin again, I think that would be pretty funny and very fitting. Anyway Daisy is a werewolf shapeshifting spirit, think of her wolf form as a more muscular Zero. Her nose glows in her human form too :). She’s essentially who Jon confides in and calls him and idiot but then tries to help. She has more of a role than Zero did in the film since she can speak. Daisy was also not very impressed at being the one to lead the sleigh but she did it anyway because Jon’s her best friend and she loves him.
Ok so Tim, Melanie and Basira are going to be grouped together because they are the trick or treaters.
In this case the story was changed a lot so the. Characters were picked not really for personality or relations. But more for continuity so they are all more or less themselves just kinda in Halloween town
Tim- Lock
Tim looks good in Red let’s be for real. He would also make the “devilish good looks” jokes you know he would
Melanie- Shock
Melanie gives off the vibes of someone who would dabble in Wicca, like she definitely owns tarot cards. And besides “ the blind witch” is metal as hell and I think she would appreciate it.
Basira- Barrel
I’m not sure what exactly Barrel is but the bones thing he has going on creates a nice tie back to Jack. Which in turn creates a connection between Jon and Basira which could tie back to the two of them saving Daisy. Basira also sees things for what they are, a sort of “bare bones” logic if you would.
Anyway so the reason the 3 of them are listed together is because in this AU they do still work for Oogie Boogie but it’s not consensual. They are all tied to him via a contract and are forced to do his bidding. Tho they often half ass it as a way to get back at him. Melanie is the one to figure out how to leave and that’s when she blinds herself to get out. I’ll go over the implications of this and what it does later in another post.
On to the villain: if you think the whole contract thing sounded familiar you’d be right
Elias Bouchard- Oogie Boogie
He’s mean he’s green, and Elias would love having a gambling aesthetic let’s not kid ourselves. Elias is also the main character villain of TMA and I think it’s fitting that he also gets the main villain role here as well. I imagine his lair to be less giant roulette table and more bureaucratic mansion. Essentially he built his own Magnus institute in the outskirts of town and people can come and test their luck. More of a poker style table than a role of the dice. He acts all fair but instead of eating people he traps their souls in contracts. He is also made of eyeballs instead of bugs and the ones in his head are called Jonah Magnus.
Peter Lukas- Santa
Yes yes I know what this implies but it’s funny. Also I didn’t know any TMA character that would properly fit this role so why not give it to the guy who probably looks like him. I also think Christmas is partially a conduit of The Lonely. I mean what’s lonelier than spending Christmas by yourself. I don’t even celebrate Christmas and I do feel a little left out sometimes hearing how everyone gets together with the their family and I’m not. What I’m trying to say is Christmas makes a lot of people lonely and I can see the Lukas’ taking advantage of that. It’s also really funny to imagine an Oogie Santa divorce going on. Like I’ll give them more scenes because I can imagine the tension and it’s so funny.
Others 
Martin’s mother- Doctor Finkelstein
This one is more due to character circumstances but I think it’s a very complex dynamic. We know from TMA that Martin’s mother hated the fact that he had to take care of her and I wanted to play on that here. In this world she made Martin this the help of a lab assistant who then ran off after an accident leaving her sick and mostly alone ( yes I know sally has a different backstory in long live the pumpkin queen but I haven’t read the book so I’m sticking with just the movie cannon and my own thoughts). She needs Martins help with taking care of herself mostly but she hates him for it. Yelling and belittling him. But she also knows that without him she will probably die so she holds on to Martin tight. Getting mad when he runs off, guilt tripping him into coming back. She eventually does make a new assistant but Martin cuts off all contact with her. He makes a choice for himself and stands up to her and leaves.
Georgie- human?
Georgie was literally the hardest character to come up with because there is no good character to match her with that is majorly important to the plot but Georgie is a big character in TMA so she had to be here. So I came up with the idea of her being human paranormal investigator ( like in TMA except her podcast is her going out to explore places) and winding up in Halloween town. There is a side plot where she meets up with Melanie and helps her escape Elias’ contract. She has no fear due to the transference between worlds and as such is welcomed into Halloween Town. Although she finds herself starting to change and she isn’t sure if she’s still completely human.
All the other denizens are background TMA characters, or other holiday rulers like Nikola as the Easter bunny ( that one wasn’t a mistake capturing her, Tim just wanted a bit of revenge because she stole his brother. Danny isn’t dead just an egg painter now.) I’ll assign more people later
Since it’s getting into the holiday season I’m thinking about my Nightmare Before Christmas TMA au.
I’ve got nothing but a head full of ideas and I don’t know if anybody want to hear about it
But it’s going to be in the back of my mind for most of December

Bang I finally figured out formatting, maybe! Yippee.
A collection of groupchat moments
Oops I forgot this is also supposed to be a silly fic...
Better late than never!

A brief snippet of my writing, specifically a TMA AU where Jon gets in touch with the mysterious 'OrbWeaver' to try and scare Martin into quitting his job at the Institute. (Maybe) more ominous things to come!
Some doodles for my Magnus Archives AU of my friends, ft. my younger sister as part of the Hunt in the corner. (Names blurred for privacy)
@jonmartinweek day nine: "au day"
had to combine the boys with my otp of course
whatever. their name is naph and there is a beetle colony in their basement.
imagine you had an infection similar to jane prentiss' hive.. a pervasive itch that could never quite be scratched. what if you were being eaten alive and rotting from the inside out. what if you had a partner who loved you through your transformation, who cherished the meat sloughing off your bones; a person who is ultimately devoured by your infestation along with you, when all that's left is the colony. what then.
It always surprises me there was no avatar for the fear of water and what's in it, I always thought it was as feard as like fire
Then I remembered I have free will so I made one
So let me introduce you to Amelia brown, avatar of the deep
I really like her
Ok ok ok ok wait. you guys. how have I never realized how perfect a Little Nightmares (specifically Little Nightmares 2) style TMA AU could be before?? I doubt I’m the first one to have this idea but??? Still??? It’s so perfect??!?
The Signal Tower with all the eye motifs as just an Extra Fucked Up Magnus Institute?? Jon and Martin as Mono and Six wandering through the hellish and distorted world kinda like the fearpocalypse?? The bullies are from Nikolai’s circus?? MICHAEL/HELEN DISTORTION IS THE TEACHER?? The whole idea of Mono becoming the Thin Man is so similar to Jon becoming Elias and the Pupil??!!
Dude I don’t have the motivation to write that fic but oh my gosh if one of you does please send it to me I would DEVOUR that
alright i'll feed y'all with a traditional doodle of a Mechs AU of Jon
