Alone Again, Naturally [The Magnus Archives] 

He may not be cheerful and bright now, but at least he's still gay.

The way Martin's eyes are obscured by his glasses while he's working with Peter is hurting me.

HOW CAN HE CARRY 4 CUPS OF TEA THATS LITCHRALLY HOT IS HIS HANDS OK IS MARTIN AN AVATAR OF THE DESOLATION NOW

0:58 "i was cheerful bright and gay" made me chuckle

I don't know who this is, but I will protect him and his floofy hair until the end of time.

Ok but, I watched this today, went “who’s this poor fluffy haired baby” and started listening to The Magnus Archives. So like, thank you for this amazing animatic that’s gotten me into another thing lol

desperately clutches onto ending doodle and sobs loudly

Boy this hits different after todays ep dont it

God this is so good! the repetition of Martin doing the paperwork for Lukas and moving away from other people during the first guitar part and NOT being left alone for the second. The fact that no one else gets to be pictured fully at the part where season 4 is, TIM being here, and the really good expressions when they find the body and Martin's little mouth wrinkles and the way that the hands pulled apart when he was reading to his mother the GENTLENESS of being found in the fog I'm going to scream. What a good animatic thanks for working so hard on it and posting it!

Oh my god the way you portray Martin is perfection!!! This song fits him so well I'm love

This is the first TMA animatic to bring me to actual tears,, bruh this is so beautiful and sad and the song is perfect for Martin

I am literally crying my poor baby boi Martin this pmv is so good and when JON APPEARED AT THE END I died from relief oh wow

The way you draw Martin fills my brain with so much serotonin im

GOD this song just PROPELLED me back to my childhood and it fits Martin so WELL?!?! Also I LOVE YOUR MARTIN SO MUCH!!! THE WHITE HAIR!!!!!! 😍😍😍

im agender but your martin makes motherly instincts i didnt know i had kick in

this animatic is so good i never realised how well the song fit martin holy shit love this thank you

After 200 this just feels so heavy, all I can do is listen to stuff like this as everything just flows out through my eyes

oh my god oh my god this is so amazing I'm going to cry!!! Why does this song fit Martin so well?? Great job on this!!! I'm especially in love with the bit of instrumental from about 2:10 - 2:30 like. It really shows the rotations Martin goes through in season 4, pushing everyone away and alone in the office doing work. Absolutely marvelous

Martin is a cinnamon roll. A sad, lonely, distraught, mentally unstable, deeply traumatized cinnamon roll

This is my favorite martin animatic ever. The way you used the lyrics and your art to capture his struggle with his mom... God so good

God, seeing his mother's hand move away when he reaches for it was just painful.

I SAW THE TITLE AND WENT OH NOOOO BC K ALREADH KNEW I WAS GOING TO CR. Y

No one talk to me I'm crying over TMA for the 5th time today

God this so GOOD it kills me. Poor Martin, he deserves three million hugs

Lyrics: In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off In an effort to make clear to whomever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch At a church where people saying My God, that's tough, she stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who, if He really does exist Why did He desert me? And in my hour of need I truly am, indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? Alone again, naturally Now, looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally

So i was listening to a lil bit of Gilbert O'Sullivan (thank you for introducing me to him btw) and I KNOW it doesnt really suit the Martin's characterisation, but what a coincidence that the artist has a song named "Where would we be (without tea)" on the SAME album. Its a sign

shork.... you really did it. you made me cry. it's been a while since we talked (it's mat!) but watching your art improve and also have you deliver this martin sadness directly to my soul? im :")

this song is like ridiculously perfect for Martin! Even two years later, all your TMA animations hit so hard!

Martins entire arch gave me chills, I know it’s something not everyone loves but as someone who is lonely and has been for a long time, I really could relate, especially the episode where he describes his domain had me sobbing

Welp I hope you had fun taking a breaking my heart for almost 4 minutes haha honestly this is done so well!!!!! Amazing work ❤️ ✨ 💖

I keep coming back to this pmv, it's absolutely amazing

I love how Lukas's face is never shown. Truly a service to "The Lonely." A beautiful video, thanks for making this!!!

dude i am FLOORED. i came to your account via your tma oxford comma animatic and found out that you're also the animator of the somebody to love good omens animatic, the accidentally in love animatic, the *stray italian grey hound animatic* and the dsmp icarus animatic?? how did i never know this?? i've been inadvertently watching your animatics for years and loving them and have never known my eyes have just been opened. (love this one btw, the song choice fits martin so well and i love the way you portray him!)

Aaa this is so good! Martin I want to hug you. You nailed the expressions so well. I am very emotional

Hey op?? This is so gorgeous and beautifully drawn and I LOVE your Martin design. I love you but I also HATE you, why would you DO this to me

I love this so much! And your design for Martin is exactly what I imagined him to look like when I heard his voice for the first time! ❤️❤️❤️

omg--i can already see at least one other comment about this but i dont care cause--I LOVE how you chose to completely hide martin's eyes behind the lenses after he gets taken by the lonely--its so simple yet so effective at showing that distance and vacancy... (also love love LOVE the goopy ghibli tears very visually yummy and emotional)

i keep coming back to this animatic it's probably one of my favourite tma ones lol

I think about this animatic more then what would be considered healthy I just love it so much!

Wow his hair turning white as his mom died really took me down. I always wonder why people draw him like that. Interesting how vague canon / fanon and ppl's imagined appearances weave together.

jfnsofnro You watch TMA too!!?? Update: just finished watching this and it's so good ahhHH

Ok not him him reading to his mom, reaching for her hand and her pulling it away 😭 damn that one hurt

screaming into the vast, crying a pool large enough for me to drown in.

Oh my god your depiction of both Martin (and the brief glimpses of Jon) are how I see them!! Yess

My babey! You got him so perfect! I love your style and the song choice is just perfect! This is amazing!

"If he really does exist, why did he desert me? In my hour of need, I am truly am indeed, alone again, naturally"
