jonelias makes me so sad because legitimately if elias wasnt doing this whole evil plan thing or if jon was just down to be fucked up and evil they would really get along well. right. like even outside of the fact that theyre both spooky eye dudes they have so much in common!!! and bro was supernaturally inclined to learn more about things and just. never really truly sat down and talked to the guy who knows literally everything about the eye shit and the magnus institute and has hundreds of years of first person lived historical knowledge on the occult. and then he kills him.
to me s1-s3 jon is regularly listening to elias talk about the occult in between kissing him. its just not on the tapes because jon would never let such impropriety get on them.
Lmao I love the implication that this is where Jon might draw the line. Like. Breaking and entering, stalking his coworkers, suspecting his boss of murder is all fine, but smooches??? Nope. Can’t have that on tape.
Also!!! Consider: I don’t remember the exact quote, but at one point in s1-2 Jon says that Elias’ knowledge of the supernatural is unparalleled, or something to that extent - which means that he must have heard Elias talk about it?? Or does Elias give lectures? Does he write articles? Did he review Jon’s work while Jon was still in Research? Please I need to know more, this one line has been driving me insane for weeks o-o
Breaking and entering just shows he’s very dedicated to the job!!!! But smooching Elias means someone might get the idea that he didn’t deserve his Head Archivist position that he already feels like he doesn’t deserve.
Like I’m half joking about that but I would say they’re friends at least purely based on how rude S1 Jon is to Elias.
LIKE HELP I WOULD NEVER SAY THAT TO THE HEAD OF WHERE I WORK. JON!!!!!
But yes!!!!! I know the quote you’re talking about! I do think Jon coming to Elias for advice (on things he’s researched thoroughly so he looks smart) is so charming. Them bringing each other fucked up books to read. And omg imagine him reviewing Jon’s research, doing it in full view of Jon and making disappointed faces all to the feed The Eye >:3
i mean he doesnt control a lot of the times that the tape recorders appear and start recording so theres a very real chance the Beholding is just homophobic as fuck
Oh trueeeee beholding is homophobic or Jons sitting in his underwear in elias living room splicing the tapes.
(Actually splicing the tapes to cut out secrets is never addressed in the show. (Ithink?) but could happen and is now intriguing to me. Someone please write something on this im begging)
