thinking about jon jarchivist sims as i often do and one aspect of s5 jon that i LOVE but dont see too many people talking about is how shot to hell his morals get (due to him being the Literal Antichrist) but he still remains a character very very driven by his morals. which surely won’t cause any issues at all.

like he asks other people what *they think* he should do so often or just does what *he thinks* is right because he’s running off avatar morality which is basically ‘fuck it, we ball’ and jon wants to be a good person SOO BAD but he’s LITERALLY THE ANTICHRIST!!! you guys….

^ this guy is fucked in the head

Ahh, but the reason I love what happened in season five is this: it hits on one of the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS of all of this.

Pleasure is not permission.

Pleasure is not permission.

Pleasure is not permission.

Yes. He was made to feel good. HE DID NOT WANT IT.

What was done to him was done without his consent. He did not consent to feeling good as other people’s agony flooded him; and unlike most of the other avatars, he never fully gave into it, either.

It is one of the reasons this is horror and not a straight-up romance.
