On the topic of Elias speaking French, I just recently listened to a French song with MAJOR Beholding vibes: Tout était dit by Jean-Jacques Goldman. It's about a man watching a woman in a café, and how he comes to know her deeply just by watching her, without words being necessary. It has a romantic vibe, but it's actually pretty creepy if you think about it, and therefore perfect for JonElias <3 it includes such gems as "your hand reaching for a cigarette was like a confession you made to me without knowing" or "the shape of your lips was like a language, your gaze itself a statement". Whenever I listen to it, my brain plays a whole JE first meeting movie it's SO PERFECT. idk if you speak French but anyway, I really recommend this song

I’m not fluent, but I definitely know a good amount of French!! I’ll have to check out this song 👀 cause I have an entire JonElias playlist in the making rn 😂 it sounds absolutely fantastic. I’m weak for the French speaking Elias headcannon
