> I find it a little baffling in fics Elias is constantly calling Jon ‘Archivist’ when talking to him, when he only does so in three episodes and he calls Jon Archivist when talking to him in only one of those. yet it’s the opposite for fics and I just wonder why lol

@myusernameisstolen YOU ARE SO RIGHT. God I will NEVER get over how much fic writers to a disservice to Elias/Jonah. He presents himself as boring and unremarkable on purpose and he’s good at it!! It’s not out of character to write him as just Some Guy, especially if the fic is from another character’s POV and takes place in seasons 1 and 2, because that’s how he is! Fic writers just seem to have the mindset of “this guy is the antagonist so therefore he has to be evil 24/7” even though that’s not how he is in the podcast.
