I still think it’s really funny that Elias had to kill Gertrude with a gun and Leitner with a pipe because it really goes to show how useless the Eye is. The Desolation burns, the Buried crushes, the Corruption sickens, hell the Dark even had a monster that killed for them but Eye avatars are like . I see your death and it involves my hands around your neck

Idk if this is a hot take or anything but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Jon didn’t have any friends (besides Martin) basically the entire series.

Sasha was nice enough but she was strictly professional. Tim was reasonable in the beginning and I like to believe they were friends but honestly he’s pretty wary of Jon s1. Melanie hated Jon the whole way through. Georgie was there for a bit before things got too messy, but the way she treats him s5 is like a time bomb. Basira treated Jon like a stove with a broken gas release, and Daisy, my god Daisy. I could go on and on about their relationship but it was really clear after the trauma she inflicted on Jon he could never truly trust her.

They all feed into the theme of Jon’s inhumanity, but I remember listening and being confused because I always saw ppl treating this like a found family when they never were.

also THANK YOU i'm so tired of ppl pretending basira and jon were friends when she spends their entire relationship treating him like... #..he's guilty he default. yaknow. treating him like she's a cop and he's her suspect. #bc even when she quits the police she never fundamentally stops acting like a cop.ALT

kissing you on the mouth, thank you for putting this into words. I could never really justify why I disliked Basira, but it’s literally because she never stops being a cop and policing Jon. Poor man just acts like it’s all for his own good too.

She really tried to pretend like she saw Jon as human, especially s3 when Daisy was on her whole Jon’s a monster shtick, but by s4 they’ve switched places. Basira is the one who treats Jon like a monster while Daisy treats him like a person.
