They’re both messes that balance each other out.
The thing about jonmartin is that Martin wants to be a romantic, he loves poetry and probably watches romance but for him it is a fantasy, a silly game he plays. Martin is at his core very cynical. Things don't work out for him so he doesn't really belive in romance, it is a pretty dream but that's it. He is pratical and realist. Dating Jon he has to remind himself it is real and he actually struggles with romantic gestures, it is something he has to remind himself to do, to remind himself he can do even and honestly who even has the energy and what if Jon doesn't even like it?
Jon on the other hand wants to be cynical. His first coping mechanism was pretend the things he was afraid of weren't real and goddam if he isn't afraid of love. It didn't really work to him so far so it's easy to pretend he doesn't care. But he is a romantic at heart. He saw love and he read about it and he has enough evidence that it is undeniable. And to be honest Jon was always to much a bunch of mushy feelings hidden in a grumpy (and bitter and afraid) trench coat. Dating Martin he has to hold himself so he isn't too much. He plays the grumpy unromantic guy at first. But he just can't stop giving flowers and planing dates (this is the guy that saw a theme park on a fear domain and considered how he wanted to take Martin to a romantic ferris whell date [until he discovered Martin was afraid of them]) and making all the silly things one does when in love.
TR: Martin is deep down very cynical about love but wants to/pretends to be a romantic and Jon is deep down very romantic but wants to/pretends to be cynical about love.
Good question! Sinner does not have any direct connection to Azathoth. Their godly abilities are based on the fact that they are part Nyarlathotep (the crawling chaos) and Arthur (the music part). The escapism comes from the idea that they fall into each other, abandoning reality for the ecstasy that is being a god.
Sinner redesign! I just wasn’t vibe with the original design so I kicked it up a notch to make these two!
For those who are unaware, Sinner is an entity for my Malevolent AU, Chaotic Minds. In this AU, instead of the focus being John and Arthur, it’s Kayne and Darthur. Arthur in this AU becomes LESS human, eventually leading to the two merging into one, becoming the god of chaos, music, and escapism, Sinner. Feel free to ask questions!
What statements should I add?
If Martin was the one with god-like powers, so many more avatars would have been Merced and he would have discovered that day one.
Little murder man.

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night
New Magnus Archives OC! Vast x Spiral (as decided by polling)
This is Caelum Fairchild (if you ask how to pronounce it he’ll give you a different answer every time). A vast avatar getting caught in a hurricane has an epiphany, spirals are beautiful.
He’s a fashion designer, brand name “Head in the Clouds”. The wing shawl around his shoulders? Yeah that’s an artifact from a failed vast ritual. He just spiced it up.

HA THE NAME AND THE GIF MAKE IT SO MUCH BETTER

Oh no, where did his arm go?
The government’s worst fear, a queer disabled man with an axe and only his dignity to lose. Fight for the weak my friends.
