Tbh a loooot of the things the fandom says are pure imagination. The safehouse period was made up. The archival team socialising was made up. The podcast just gave a vague hint about something happening offscreen and the fandom decided that since nothing was said about their beloved blorbos directly, then there simply must have been situations in which their blorbos were caring and loving to eachother, because thats what they see them as and they're opposed to the simplest yet most possible explanation - that these people barely cared about eachother. They are sooo starved of fluff they forgot that fanfiction is only that - fan made fiction. It's not canon. It never was.

Yeppp. And I’m SURE they could take dialogue and use it as evidence for their perspectives. And maybe there’s some merit to that. But I don’t WANT to be the bigger person and view them as having complex motivations and relationships. I WANT to be angry and hurt. Isn’t that the whole point of ~tragedy~? To feel bad? So making these moments where it wasn’t so bad for Jon with the others, lessens that to me.
