on the subject of gnc jon dressing kind of like a grandma when he’s going for comfort, do you ever think he walks into the institute one day wearing an outfit that could have belonged to gertrude once and elias’s heart stops for a full ass second until he registers who it is
elias Sees an archivist with a gray haired bun, a big old sweater, and a floor length skirt enter the building and tosses his eyes into the nearest portrait so fast his elias body blacks out at his desk but it was just jon
Made a comic counterpart because the concept of this happening is REALLY fucking funny to me
[ID for first reblog: A screenshot of a desktop file, a grainy photo of someone grinning panickedly with wide eyes. It is named “fear” /end ID]
[ID for third reblog: An edited version of the “no fear/one fear” meme comic. Someone stands wearing a T-shirt reading “15 fears.” The comic zooms in on the shirt, which now reads “Gertrude Robinson.” When it zooms out, the shirt reads, “16 fears.” /end ID]
[ID for fifth reblog: An eight-panel stylized digital comic of Jon and Elias from TMA, done in sketch-style black lineart on a white background.
1. A drawing of Jon. He is Pakistani and has his hair in a bun. He wears earrings, glasses, a shawl, and a long-sleeved shirt. He holds a book titled “scary shit” and says “Hmm.” An arrow pointing to him reads “Jon”
2. Elias sits in his office and looks at the doorway behind him, where Jon’s back is visible. Elias looks surprised.
3. The comic zooms into Jon’s back. He seems to glow against the gray background. Large red text reads “Gurtrude Robinson” with emphasis lines. There are also drawings of red eye symbols around Jon.
4. Elias is now shaking and sweating, panicked. He says, “Here?? Now??”
5. The panel shows three versions of Elias in distress. In one, he sweats and smooths his hair anxiously. In another, he is bent over on hands and knees on the ground. Another is a closeup of his sweating face. There are red eye symbols around him and red text over all the doodles reads, “I was a fool to think she’d stay dead”
6. A closeup on a pair of eyes, wide open in shock with emphasis lines around them.
7. The comic returns to the room Jon is in. A painting on the wall with emphasis lines around it looks at him with red, wide eyes. Jon holds papers and mutters, saying “where is that statement”
8. Elias collapses on his desk, sweaty and relieved. Text next to him reads *coming to.* The eye symbols around him are black again and he says, “Oh thank god it was just Jon I’m not dying today”
