This is the outfit I’ll be wearing when I throw open the doors to the archives and proclaim myself as the new head of the institute, instantly killing Elias
Well, in my mind Jon is he/they nonbinary. He's not very public about it due to ~reasons~, but there are a handful of people who know, like Georgie (and Elias, naturally).
Oh, I adore this headcannon! And yes of course Elias Knows™️ 😂
Ooh, I hc that he can see in the dark (the average one, not the Dark™), which is an ability he got as part of the all-seeing gift package after the first attempted Watcher's Crown. I once saw an art of him that depicted him with eyeshine like a cat (don't remember the artist), and the idea never left my head since.
Not even kidding I want this to be canon. That’s absolutely amazing and I’m 99% sure I’m never going to forget about this idea either omfg. Just imagining his eyes reflecting in the dark is enough to drive me crazy.
I totally hc that he is genuinely loves like scheduling and paperwork because it gives him a sense of control and power and also because he just loves the neatness of coloms and numbers
Oh, he absolutely would be that guy 😂 we stan a meticulous man. Power and Control are his middle names
Elias has a sweet tooth, and he'll eat just about anything with sugar in it if he gets his cravings (yeah i might have extrapolated this from that one cake scene). This however doesn't really affect him, cause he only eats like...every once in a while (being not-quite-human has its perks). On that note, I also think he rarely needs sleep as the Eye would prefer its avatars alert/watching as much as possible, BUT when he does he just crashes for at least 14 hours straight.
Absolutely love the idea of him having a sweet tooth and just picturing him going into a mini coma is absolutely hilarious 😂 probably sugar crashing
2 things Jonah head canon. 1 this is more of a joke theory but Albrecht sons were Jonah since he said he and Clara can’t have kids. 2 In Jonahs second body he slept with Oscar Wilde
I can’t tell which head cannon I prefer lmao but the second one had me cackling 😂😂😂 because I don’t doubt it AT ALL.
How does Jonah Magnus manage to get away with identity fraud so well?? Like you KNOW this man isn’t paying taxes.
Also, he’s passing his homes and all of his belongings to whatever body he chooses next…like, that’s gotta be a little odd, right?? Like he’s leaving everything in his name in his will to an assistant 😂
I saw a fic where he essentially dated the people he was going to transfer into and it was an open secret so essentially made it look like his lover was getting everything
HC Jonah would have been a Web Avatar but the Eye got to him first
I could absolutely see him being an avatar of the web. He’s manipulative af, but I think the Eye served him better for what he wanted and it required less work on his part.
HC so you know how people joke about Elias only hiring gay people? We'll before it became socially accepted it was so he could feed on their fear of being discovered
THIS ^^^
You’re absolutely right, cause bruhhh you could literally feed on the LGBT community so much 😭 we’re a terrified group of ppl 😭😭 coming out can be scary and a fear god could definitely take advantage
HC The Magnus Institute has no Hr it's just a door Elias painted on some second floor wall. He collects the complaints about him and subtly bring them up each time he sees person who complained
lmao the idea of this is just hilarious. it’s like the “i am the manager” energy, but “I am HR.” 👀
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
For the fav tma ships post... jonelias is my favorite ship. Jonmartin is also really good tho, its v complex but also a lot of fluff. Georgie and Melanie is kinda cute, and would've loved to see more of Agnes and Jude. But I'm pretty neutral besides those ships
Yeah I think I’m pretty much in the same boat and I wholeheartedly agree that it would’ve been lovely to see Agnes Jude content 😭😭
Jonah Magnus HC historians aren’t like ah yes he has a normal amount of friends and it totally wasn’t a harem. While the internet’s like oh my god they were pen pals
Oh my goodness, I hadn't realised that there are probably historians studying Jonah Magnus as a niche minor historical figure. When he's. Still alive. "Mr Bouchard, there are a few students here who would like access to the historical section of the archives to do a project on the founder of the Institute." Imagine having a group of teenagers scan the love letters from your harem and put them in a poorly edited PowerPoint presentation.
You know he probably loves the attention though 😂 he probably has tours where he talks about the founding father of the Magnus Institute.
