jonathan sims ( head archivist of the magnus institute, london, ) is canonically multi-gender attracted and ace. there are many ways to interpret this, but he's very commonly headcanoned as being bi, and we haven't seen a lot of content exploring that, so, we'd like to make a small space for bi headcanons in particular! many bi people feel underrepresented in the fandom at large. that’s why we’ve created jonsimsbipride! a compilation of art, fic, or other content that focuses on and explores jon being bi, as both a celebration of it and to push against the way bisexuality is stigmatized.

( * bisexuality in this case just referring to the fact he is bi. ‘sexuality’ as a concept can refer to attraction of any kind. we fully acknowledge and support that jon is ace, too, and speaking broadly on bisexuality is in no way erasure of that.)

this blog will have two different functions!

01. to archive bi jon content. any content created before, during, or after bi jon month that centers around jon being bi will be collected here, so people can browse through said archive to look for content without having to go far out of their way to hunt it down. we will also try and tag said content for easier navigation ( i.e. ‘image description included’, ‘art’, ‘fic’, ‘ace pride’, etc. )

02. jon sims bi pride month. we will have a month’s worth of prompts in january 2021 that can be filled via writing, art, or any other content you want to produce! all content created for bi jon month will be reblogged here. the prompts will be:

1st - 5th: PRIDE! flags, parade, etc. 6th - 10th: SOLIDARITY! with other bi characters, etc. 11th - 15th: HARDSHIP! internalized biphobia, coming out, the problems with figuring out one is bi when the community tends to be stereotyped as overly sexualized, etc. 16th - 20th: FIRST TIME! broad prompt to cover first time meeting another bi person, being openly bi, hearing the word 'bisexual', first relationship, first time being attracted to a boy or girl or neither, etc. any interpretation welcome! 21st - 25th: CULTURE! bi culture, or for the intersection of being bi along with whatever you hc jon’s cultural background to be! 26th - 30th: GENDER! and how bisexuality intersects with it! whether you hc jon as trans or cis — cis bi people can have a complicated relationship with gender as well, especially poc, which many hc jon to be. 31st: FREE PROMPT DAY! go wild!

if you have bi jon art for us, send a link to our submissions! you can also @ this blog, and put new posts in the #jonsimsbipride tag so that it can be searched up!

Jon Sims Bi Pride Month - PRIDE!

[Start ID: A digital drawing of Season 1 Jonathan Sims from the podcast The Magnus Archives with a bi flag draped over his shoulders. Jon is a dark-skinned Indian man with rectangular rimmed glasses and gelled-back mid length hair. He sits on top of a desk with each foot resting on an armrest of an antique swivel chair, which sits by the desk. In his left hand is a tape recorder, while he holds a piece of paper, a statement, in his right hand. On the desk alongside him is a stack of papers ties up with strings to his left and a table lamp behind him to his right. He dons a lilac cardigan over a light green blouse with a white collar and buttons, a white laced skirt, dark green socks with white daisy patterns and brown dress shoes with bi-flag coloured shoelaces. There is a pinkish light shining on him, which casts purple-blue shadows. Two speech bubbles float above him, one said by someone off-screen, and one for himself. The one coming from off-screen says: "Making a statement, Sims?". The one coming from Jon says: "Recording*". End ID.]
