do we talk enough about how Jonah was probably listening in on Jon reading his letters and probably had shrimp emotions when Jon said “my dear Jonah”

Oh my god hello

He can’t keep doing this. He told himself he’d stop, and yet here he is, Watching as Jon cautiously picks up the statement, aware of its age and not wanting to damage any part of his Archives, and clears his throat, turning on the tape.

The Eye’s attention on him is palpable, awaiting its offering. Jon shifts a little in his seat, uncomfortable with all the attention. Jonah’s sure he’ll get used to it.

Jon speaking his name - his actual name - is still delightful and terrifying enough to have him flinch in his seat, a tiny gasp escaping him. And the way Jon says it, too: even now Albrecht’s affections for him bleed in, beyond his death and through his terror, into Jonah’s Archivist and into the Eye, and it makes hearing it all the more sweet.

The statement itself was fitting. It had been, after all, Jonah that had gotten Albrecht killed. His love was like that; everyone he’d touched had been consumed. Smirke, and Albrecht, and dear, sweet Barnabas, and now Jon too. His plans for Jon are going to ruin him anyway. Jonah can’t let his love for his Archive destroy him further.

But he doesn’t look away.

jon having a history crush on jonah is one of my favourite flavours of jonelias. maybe it’s the fact that i am a gay little classics student but it speaks to me. the learning about someone, reading their personal letters, taking in every drop of knowledge that you can until you feel as though you know them. that you wonder what it might have been like to be there at the time they were alive. to be their friend. perhaps even their lover

and then it turns out they’re actually still alive and they like you and you can Literally Kiss Your History Crush. like okay

btw recommending u all this fic like this

i think jonelias should always be about jonah’s desperation to be understood. i think he should cling to jon with both hands and sob and beg “please, please, please don’t leave, not you, you can’t leave, i need you, i need you to listen, i need to be heard, i need to be seen.”

kissing you. you get it. you get it

So I saw the post about the calliope and Jon going to Elias first and decided to look into something. And I stumbled across something that is even more damming…

In MAG35 Martin signs for the delivery of some things. He leaves the lighter in Jon’s desk drawer. This is when Breekon and Hope bring the table

In MAG36 Tim tells Jon that Elias was asking about the delivery. Jon didn’t know the table was there. He ends the episode with “I need to talk to Martin”. Seems sensible, get all the info before you go answer to your boss. Martin is still living in the archives iirc, shouldn’t be an issue

MAG37 oh it starts with the talk that makes sen-… “…we should destroy the table…” “Elias told me the same thing.” He. Went. To. Elias. Anyway. (he also asked rosie but like) JONATHAN SIMS I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE

I am not joking when I’m telling you that over the course of that season he like explicitly mentions that he’s going to talk to Elias about something or that he already has NINE TIMES if we count the Pre-Launch trailer then it’s TEN

And like sure, sometimes it’s about his concerns regarding the worms (CO2, security), but like you have mag33 where he’s like “I know Elias told me to not look into the Lukas family, but maybe I should bring it up with him anyway” the most stubborn man in London fr

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.
