Anyway literally no line makes me go more insane than “The Chosen one is simply that… Someone I chose.” the INTIMACY, the ROMANCE, the PURPOSEFULNESS OF IT ALL. No, Jon; I don’t believe in any other fate than the one I make; and I decided you’d be part of mine.
What do we think about. A jonelias sharing pain au. "I know i'm putting you through the horrors for my own selfish goals but let me take some of your pain. No, I don't have a reason to do this. Let me help you"
i think yes. i’m a big fan of mind link (or physical in this case) jonelias scenarios.
i think in this one sharing the pain might be a way for jonah to feel more like a part of the ritual. yes, he orchestrated it, but jon got a more active role. elias shares his pain to mark both of them with it, to tie them together. they will suffer together and they will get their reward together too.
you can go further and make their connection more straightforward. for every scar jon earns, elias gets a matching one. i would say on his original body, but by this point there’s probably not a lot of… skin left.
hiii more jonelias g/t for the soul. i know nobody cares. nonetheless
He shifts himself until he’s on Elias’s bare skin, just over his heart, feeling its steady beating reverberating through his body, and it’s wonderful and electrifying and he has to remind himself to breathe. “Your heart…” he says, and some unnameable emotion sweeps over him. Something like melancholy, yearning, but not quite.
“You’re crying, Jon.”
He is?
He lifts his hand to his face, and finds that–yes, he is. He’s not sure why.
I am completely in love with your jonelias art <3 I love all your art but the jonelias one especially gives me life <3 Elias feeding Jon when? Uhh Elias really taking Jon out for dinner to make him eat properly when???? Love that you mentioned this in the tags of your latest piece
You can draw anything you want of course, I'm only joking haha, unless uhhhh 👁👁
[Image description: a full-color comic about Jonah Magnus.
fig. a; body as performance. Elias is smoking in front of a wall of portraits of his former bodies. He extends his hand. Jonah nervously undoes his cravat.
fig. b; body as a tool. Jonah reclines in his chair, extending one leg. Four hands reach for it, one with a letter. Elias smirks across a table. He swings a pipe, spattering blood.
Three panels build to show Jonah with his eyes closed, skin grayed.
fig. c; body as an inconvenience. James stares furiously down at a struggling body, knife in his hand. It falls beside the two of them. Elias cries out, eyes squeezed shut, as James’s bloody hand touches his chin.
fig. d; body as a prison is a single yellow panel, showing a golden eye trailed by nerves. The panel is set into fig. e; metamorphosis, which shows each of his bodies emerging from the others, bracing themselves to reach higher. They are all alive. Roses cover the ground and weave up the pile of bodies. At the top is Elias, winking at the viewer.
the idea of the Institute being an extension of Jonah’s body is driving me feral lately. and there’s textual support for it! in episode 92 he says “Should I, or the Institute, be destroyed, you will all, unfortunately, follow suit.” as if he and his Institute are equivalent. and when Martin’s burning statements, he says to Elias, “Maybe I just thought it might hurt.” the idea that Jonah felt something inside him catch fire as soon as Martin started burning statements, hdjfhsjgskdhdg. do you think it feels good when people run their hands along the walls. do you think it feels good when someone does a deep clean of the rooms.
Elias and his psychologically abnormal + one sided relationships with the cleaners at the institute because they put their hands on every bit of him
Okay so y'all. Um. I actually wrote a fic about this. Well its about Tim going at it nasty with the walls and furniture. I don’t know what else to say skgkgkv well Elias is a real freakshow in this one. Anyways enjoy.
Do you have any end avatar Jonah thoughts? His relationship with death is so important to me...aghh especially the suicidal but desperately not wanting to die dichotomy
i think about how he directly led his regency pals into death specifically at the hands of the entities. if you have a headcanon of jonah having an end encounter as a child (which i do!) you could interpret this as him attempting to feed them to the end / to the entities in general as to not be fed on himself. the end was probably a subject of fascination for him for a long time, fuelling him towards the eye, which makes him into an instrument of death via his immortality. the worst kind of death too, not living dead but dead living.
we don’t see anything of jonah after he does his first bodyhop up until richard mendelson who was around in at least the 1960s that’s a solid >100 years of fuckinf around and finding out. how many people died from him or because of him or for him? like lambs to slaughter.
and that’s not even touching on the people he’s cared about (if he can, or ever did), who he had to watch die. if you’re a lonelyeyes enjoyer you can make this about the lukases. i am not a lonelyeyes enjoyer so i have no thoughts about that.
even jonah isn’t alive, not really. he can’t run forever, and his living isn’t really a life at all. his current body isn’t alive and he himself is a desiccated corpse in the panopticon. like i said, not living dead but dead living. and he’s had to kill himself over and over; go to his own funeral, receive his own will, destroy his own body so nobody notices the missing eyes. do you think jonah considers himself to be alive?
and all of that is to say nothing about the fact that jonah literally gave the entire world and also the entities themselves to the end
trans jonah magnus is so real to Me… a lot of his traits could be partially ascribed to his experience as a 19th century trans person
it would create a separation between him and hisbody, make him a guest in his own flesh, form a “my body is not my own” sentiment that would last for 200+ years (even if for different reasons). it would force him to create himself, and to fight for recognition. it would form the “it’s not in your blood, or your soul, or your destiny” belief (he wouldn’t believe in biological determinism at least, which is a solid argument, i think). it would make him afraid of being outed, and thus afraid of being truly known, and yet make him long for someone who would understand
i have two opposite headcanons on jonah’s name:
1. magnus is a family name. jonah changed only his first name and reclaimed his last by founding an institute in his name
2. jonah magnus is a fully made up name, that he immortalised, again, through his institute
in both cases i see his institute as a way to claim the name. honestly, the institute is probably one of the most important things in his life. not only it’s a life-long passion project, it’s also a continuation of himself (he’s a self-described “beating heart of the institute”), so!! i believe he has a soft spot for it and everything it represents
Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”
jonelias is so dear to me. elias watching jon and realizing softly Oh, you are just like me. jon, a couple of years later, realizing, devastated Oh, I am just like you
For a Beholding avatar, someone being “a difficult man to pin down” must be the flirtiest most teasing way to be. Something that begs to be investigated and known.
underrated threesome dynamic of herding dog x lamb x wolf
it’s about being caught between the grip of somebody who wants to protect you and somebody who wants to devour you and knowing that what they both share is a desire to possess you in your entirety btw
so. are we all in agreement that elias would fuck his clone? im not hearing any disagreement on account of the fact that I’m still writing the post so I’ll take that as a yes!
furthermore, are we all in agreement that jonah magnus is very fun to fluster and also just generally fairly cute? this is a universal opinion, right? right?
so anyway. jonah (still very much a fledgling avatar, probably in like his 20s) time travels to the present day, a little before gertrude’s death. he gains a crush on elias that only gets stronger after finding that elias is his future self.
on elias’s part, he is having a fascinating experience being able to look at a past self from the outside. and also he is enjoying flustering jonah. so much.
haven’t really gotten to Plot from this point, unsure if I will, but two things I’m considering (but am undecided on)
archivist jonah. he’s already marked by the end (to me) and also the spiral on account of how he got to the future. and it’ll be convenient for elias to have an archivist he knows will agree with his plans (and who he can manipulate as easy as breathing)
