Peter being the shorter one in LonelyEyes is objectively funnier because Elias doesn’t give a fuck about anyone’s opinions of him, least of all Peter’s, while Peter acts like an irrational pissbaby when Elias teases him. Elias could call Peter short one (1) time and Peter would spitefully come to all their future meetings with cuban heels on.

You know he’s spiteful enough to do this. The final lines of his statement are literally just ‘I was so salty about losing to Elias that I ran in here and now I’m gonna die’.

Something I’ve been thinking about: I often see Elias and Peter get the ‘old men in love’ treatment, when the reality is that Elias is over two centuries old and he’s known Peter since Peter was young and has been manipulating Peter for most of his adult life. He saw a young, sheltered man who’d spent most of his life in an abusive environment and was like

They’re so far out of the ballpark of ‘old men in love’ that the ball has disappeared into the ether.

Obviously I’m not impervious to soft LonelyEyes propaganda, but they’re an incredibly unhealthy ship, not the fluffy alternative to other Elias ships.

They couldn’t let Tim live for season 4 because he would have spent the entire season bullying Peter and that would have really undermined Peter’s villainy.

Peter is thinking about being stuck in a concrete box with other people for an extended period. Elias is also thinking about Peter being stuck in a concrete box with other people for an extended period.

Do you ever think about how much of a dramatic little shit Peter is? I mean, this guy never uses a door; he’s always appearing to startle people or when he’s referenced/mentioned, like discount Bloody Mary, to the point that Martin’s like ‘oh, he’s really not here’ after saying Peter’s name because he’s just resigned to the fact Peter will take any opportunity to dramatically jump out of the shadows.

And then there’s how he uses his abilities. Sure, he could be normal about hiring new employees, but that’s not nearly as cool as making an entire bar disappear on someone for no reason. And sure, he could just flick people into the Lonely once they’re sufficiently miserable on the Tundra because it’s just one person and it doesn’t need to be an entire event, but dragging everyone out onto a shitty lifeboat and using his ancestors whistle is way more ~aesthetic~.

And the way he talks, I mean ‘So, your advice would be less murder?’ and ‘I mean, in the end, the only person that you really have is yourself’ and ‘I just thought we might have a chat. Alone.’ PETER, REALLY???

Absolutely love that the primary example of a Lonely avatar we have is this goofy weirdo.

> Outta nowhere but I think it’s really neat that the one time Elias had a villain laugh moment in the whole show that I can remember is when he’s completely alone with only his corpse (and the tape recorder) as witness. He is NOT doing this for anyone else. He is doing it for HIMSELF thank you very much!

Alternative interpretation of Peter and Elias relationship: Peter spends his entire adult life somehow ignorant to the fact he’s Elias’ sub.

Runaway - Fogandblackcoffee (Anderseeds) - The Magnus Archives (Podcast) [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Ironically, the wayward Lukas hadn’t left the UK. They hadn’t even left London. They were less than an hour away from the Institute, working in a coffee shop nestled between a shoe store and a communal hall.

It was a modest affair, something that looked like it might have once served as a storage facility. Rugged brick walls, worn floorboards, and old furniture that creaked and groaned when people sat in them. A rustic sort of building. Jonah didn’t mind it, but it seemed a very unusual place to find a Lukas that had successfully gone through the family gauntlet and been selected as an avatar. It had a warmth to it, a homeliness that seemed incongruent with what the man behind the counter was.

Peter runs away from home. Jonah is tasked with locating him and finds himself intrigued.
