I think Jonathan Fanshawe is like Louis IWTV post- meeting Lestat. The sweaty homosexual with religious issues and difficulty accepting himself being a monster vibes are so perfect for Fanshawe.
timelias not because of the themes, not because of the dynamic, but rather purely because jonathan sims is an orphan and “i fucked your boss” is the closest to an “i fucked your mom/dad” that timothy stoker can get.
somehow both the opposite of and very similar to “i’m going to talk to your manager”
Thinking about. JonElias precanon. Jon being Elias’ little pet project. Jon and his lack of a father figure immediately latching on to the slightest amount of special attention from an older man who he admires.

Adding it here because I feel it’s related, but to me Mordechai is Patrick Page in Hadestown. His voice included. I cannot listen to Hey, Little Songbird without thinking about Mordechai.
i bet sometime around s3 elias walked up to basira angrily, visible tears in his eyes and a fresh wound on his hand and went “your dog BIT ME.” and basira went “?? i don’t have a dog??” only for daisy to appear, traces of blood on her lips and a very proud expression on her face.
raises eyebrow interestedly. daisy/elias/basira polycule? much to think abt with that…
ok i’ve decided this is awesome. they’re all morally fucked dykes and i want daisy and basira to team up against elias.
No but this is great. You’ve heard of polyamory. You’ve heard of hate fucking. Lets combine the two!!!!! Ot3 but its not love it’s HOSTILITY. It’s a perfectly healthy equal supportive relationship except they fuckin HATE Elias and also are horrible people. But total rides or dies otherwise.
-Elias brings coffee and a kiss to Basira. She calls him a slur and a dickhead. She’s blushing
-Basira joins Daisy in helping her bury the body of her latest victim. They’re holding hands while they dig. This is incredibly unpractical.
-Daisy goes to Elias’ office just to lay on his desk stargish style and bother him. He pets her head.
-“Poison again darling?” “You bet it is”
fits perfectly into my headcanon that elias just. loves to be hated. not necessarily even in a sexual context, some wires are just permanently crossed in his brain that make him interpret hatred as the highest form of praise. he really takes the whole “i thrive on your hatred” thing to a new level. he craves that hostility. he finds apprehension to his very existence incredibly validating.
of course he’d be the affectionate one in the relationship. honestly if anyone shows him affection he probably goes full tsundere mode, so this is. kind of perfect for him.
they’re both just taking their anger out on him and he knows it. and he likes it. it’s a mutually benefitial relationship, really.

Nonsexual masochist Jonathan, who doesn’t have any interest in things like being cut like Jonah does, but instead wants to be properly hit. Shoved, kicked, punched. Jonathan who goes to Mordechai to sate his needs, because Barnabas is just too gentle and he can’t bare to let Jonah have the satisfaction.
Psychological sadist Mordechai who agrees to help him, not because he enjoys the physical violence so much as he needs to see the stoic Doctor Fanshawe break, needs to see him cry.
Both of them realizing just how much then like this when Mordechai shoves Jonathan into a wall so hard it knocks his breath fully from his lungs with just one hand and Jonathan feels the most relaxed he has in months.
