jonah/fanshawe is my favorite niche paring just because it allows me to project a caligula-scipio situationship onto them.
my interpretation (based on vibes) of why jonah asked him to be millbank’s doctor is of course that he wanted jonathan by his side for the watcher’s crown. my interpretation (based on even MORE vibes) of why jonah sent him to albrecht is that he wanted jonathan to come to terms with the inherent hopelessness of his profession (in particular) and of the human condition (in general). of course he could have TOLD him but we’re talking abt jonah magnus. showing him a man covered in eyeballs was as straightforward as he could get (and probably counted as flirting tbh)
