Thinking about Jon and Elias hunting together in the most brutal, synchronised, and methodical fashion possible 🥰🥰🥰
I do have a weakness for the scarce moments of complicity we glimpse in the show. I wish we could have seen Jon realise that understanding Elias is both possible and inevitable to him because they are the same… and Jon would hate himself about it afterward, but that doesn’t change much now, does it?

Important part of Jon and Elias’s vibe that I feel like gets overlooked a lot is that Jon is equally as much of a pain in the ass to Elias as Elias is to him. The powers that be hand delivered him the perfect guy to craft a linchpin out of for his two century old scheme and it turned out to be the nosiest bastard in all of London who is obsessed with being right. This is Elias we’re talking about. We’re talking about Mr “Doesn’t Like Getting His Hands Dirty” here. Mr Perpetual Middle Management. Mr “Sat On His Ass For 200 Years Waiting For An Opportunity Instead of Getting Out There and Making Something Himself” getting conned into shaping his antichrist out of the guy who’s first instinct towards dealing with his problems is to take a literal ax to them. It’s like throwing two unsocialized cats in a bathtub together. This is why Elias doesn’t believe in fate
The reason Jon and Elias have this weird psychosexual tension in every scene they’re in together is because they are the same. The reason they are 0.2 seconds away from killing each other is also because they are the same. Do you understand me

eugh blugh anyway anyway. elias like talks to jon completely differently than he talks to anyone else. if jon is the room he is talking exclusively to jon regardless of how many other people are in the room. if jon is not in the room but there’s a tape recorder running he’s talking to jon. if he thinks jon might have this conversation relayed to him at a later date he’s talking to jon. mag 92 is hysterical because why did you pack this office with as many people as possible for this conversation and then audibly not break eye contact with one specific guy for twenty minutes. well this is because jon is the only person that actually exists to him in this situation. or most situations. elias knows he’s in a podcast but as far as he’s concerned he and jon are the only characters in it and everyone else is set dressing and he gets so cranky about it when the set dressing starts expressing free will. jon is aware that other people exist 95% of the time unless he is actively talking to and/or yelling at elias and then he kind of forgor. mag 102 when elias is like melanie is coming to murder me with a knife for like .25 seconds jon is like the fuck is melanie and then returns to reality and remembers he has a life outside of “weird thing with elias” and is kind of embarrassed. like uh whoops sorry got kind of intense there for a second (elias continues to be kind of intense unabated) (forever)

underappreciated aspect of jonelias is that, at least in my mind, elias would 100% be the world’s clingiest, neediest boyfriend ever if him and jon were actually dating. not a fan of martin’s sudden distant and avoidant behavior in s4? get ready for the absolute opposite. he’d be knocking on the door to the archives 24/7 going “jon?? archivist??? joonn??? why aren’t you responding to my emails jon :( ???”
like that one textpost that’s like “i noticed you were paying attention to someone other than me. why is that”
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
