Things that genuinely surprised me about TMA after only knowing about it via tumblr

(no spoilers please, I’m at around 165 rn)

1– Jon and Martin are canonically together?? I thought it was just a tumblr ship. I forgot that it’s physically possible for tumblr to ship things that are canon

2– main characters die for real?? (as in not fake-out deaths)

I was in deep denial when Sasha died and again in denial when Tim died and it took me a while to come to terms with them really being dead

3– Elias is actually, for real, the antagonist?? I know I saw tumblr posts talking about how he’s one of the most well-written antagonists ever but up until the end of s4/beginning of s5 I was like ‘ok this guy is more like a morally grey little guy. morally questionable boss, but what else do you expect from corporate work?’

but no he’s actually out here doing the non-silly type of plotting and scheming
