So, just watched this video “what if jack talked in BioShock” and it got me thinking….. Specifically with that monologue Andrew Ryan has right before he’s killed. Thinking about it through the perspective of someone like me (obsessed with TMA) the trigger phrase of “Would you kindly” sound like something Elias or any Eye avatar would do. We’ve already seen how Elias and Jon can compel people into making statements so it makes sense….. Now wondering about a fic/AU where Elias does that to Jon…… Planted in his mind when they first met, with a simple “would you kindly grab that folder for me?” A simple request, wouldn’t even notice being compelled because why would someone say no to something so simple? Maybe stray it far off canon with a “would you kindly kill Jurgen Leitner” with Elias only taking the fall so his archivist could continue to grow.
this post means so much to me as TMA and Bioshock are both my loves; I actually HC Elias looking strikingly like Andrew to begin with and he is still where I draw (pun intended) a lot of my Mr. Bouchard from.
