it’s so insane to me how differently jonah treats jon compared to how he treats everyone else. throughout his life he treated people like tools, like something “to watch, to know, and ultimately to discard”. he doesn’t care about their suffering as long as it benefits Him. but even though he separates himself from other people, puts himself on a higher pedestal, it never seems to apply to jon. with jon it’s always “our master”, “our victory”, “the world that we have made”. everyone else is for us to use. the world is our playground. he’s been living with this “use or be used” mindset for centuries, always on the run, never safe, never trusting anyone, just to meet jon and decide to include him in his life-long plan… and yes, part of this was out of the necessity (he did need to get an archivist for this to work), but if it was purely transactional, then why would he say all that. gayass
thinking about mag 194 which jon recognizes as jonah using the statement to say that jonah will always be part of him no matter what he does (“I know what you’re trying to do but it won’t work”). like nio3fj9erf i09vfierofk jonah. that’s a real shit way of convincing someone not to stab you. really fucking gay though and really the absolute opposite of discarding someone after you’ve used them.
