Many people have probably complained about this before but there sometimes seems to be a bit of a disconnect regarding what Jon actually did and thought in S1 and what he does in fanfics?? Which is fine, alt universes and fix-it's are obviously not going to have him be the same, but I've stumbled across quite a few in which Jons refusal to admit anything in the statements is real is portrayed as him.. actually not believing it? he explicitly mentions he only says that because he has no idea what to do if it's all real....it's actually spoken about TWICE in the S1 finale.. not to "uhm actually" too much but it annoys me. That man has seen supernatural stuff! He's experienced it!!

I also crave some nuance.. S1 Jon is (often) either portrayed as nicer as he was or just a completely stuck up bitch which is untrue.. sure he had a stick up his ass but he's not a robot..? I'm sure it's just the one fic that's left a bad taste in my mouth (not naming it of course) but Jon knows how to talk in a way that doesn't sound like a way too formal business email. I promise! I understand why S1 Jon is hard to characterize, since Johnny was also still figuring out the character, but I feel it shouldn't be that hard to make something up that isn't going very extremely into one direction. Yes he was raised by an elderly woman and speaks that way! Yes he's also had contact with pop culture and people his age!!

Anyways I love Jon I'm relistening to S3 and he's such a delightful cunt sometimes I love it when he's sassy towards people that deserve it (Elias)
