i love jon as our tormented sicklyguy but tbh, maybe uncommon opinion, i really enjoy elias as like a closeted sicklyguy too. or maybe this is just me projecting ‘sicklyguy’ onto characters as one myself. who knows or cares. anyway, i just really like something-ambiguously-wrong-with-him elias. your boss who’s not quite right health-wise, obviously, but there’s no way you’re going to find out precisely How So. he doesn’t quite want that, and you can’t Look anyway. maybe jonah was originally some flavor of chronic-whatever and it’s just happenstance that elias is as well. maybe all of his bodies have been & it’s not happenstance at all. maybe the eye keeps it in check. maybe it doesn’t. certainly i like the idea that eye avatars are prone to migraines, as a base. to me jon has every fucking disease and does very little about this fact. i’m giving him my genetic and neurological bullshit. he even goes to physical therapy he’s like the perfect guy to assign this to. elias though? this one you have to trust me on. he can have EDS & POTS too. if we believe.
