I don't like jonmartin as a ship because of the way the fandom presents them (and deeply mischarachetizes them by the way).

Jon - starved for a human connection, martin loved the version of him before he became a monster - reciprocating those feelings would somehow make him more human in his own eyes

Martin - only the echo of his past feelings remain, he is afraid of the monster jon has become. He's grossed out by Jon's new behaviour - his need to make statements for example

Them sticking together is a desperate attempt at preserving their past selves and their own humanity. Also martin benefits from sticking with jon, because it lets him travel freely and unharmed throughout the fearscape - a good reason to stay with him even when his romantic feelings for the man had long faded.

This is NOT a healthy relationship. This is a trauma bond. They are not "cute gays travelling through the apocalypse together uwu 🥹🥹"


Also, martin quite literally said to jon "i really loved you, you know?" Loved. Past tense. It may not matter as much as i think it does, but i feel like it means something.

truth truth truth you said it !!!

AND you managed to have a more interesting and complex and accurate take on the characters than any of the Jmart fans could ever
