Heyy so you know how Jon keeps losing everything he has. His friends. His family. His personal belongings. Parts of his body. Parts of himself. You know how Martin has always kept everyone at a comfortable distance. How he's grown accustomed to the feeling of alienation he feels inside.

What if. Being together brings them comfort. Because they know that eventually, one day, they will both leave. Martin will disappear. He'll distance himself so far from everything that troubles him that he'll be too far for Jon to reach out to. Jon will turn away. The guilt, the hunger, the profound sense of otherness will consume him and he will seek a place to hide like an animal feeling its end drawing near. The distance between them will grow so large they won't be able to reach out and pull each other close once again. And they will be left with nothing one more time. Just as it always had been.

The moment Jon and Martin got in a relationship they both saw only its inevitable end. Every gesture, every word tainted with the feeling that this won't last. Let's hold hands for as long as we can, because we both know we want to let go.

Jon and Martin and the dead wife trope. They are both the widower and see the other as their lost loved one.

They never truly knew one another. They look each other in the face and see a ghost of a nonexistent person

As you may know i dont like martin but i gotta admit i have a quiet fondness for ppl who used to headcanon him as polish. It was so obvious none of them spoke the language too. Stumbling through the sentences with google translate in hand..... i dont get it!! Why do u find this appealing if its not relatable to u!! It was sort of fascinating.

Nobody gaf anymore tho. The polish martin tag is silent and empty. Maybe its for the best

Recently i've being seing alot of antishiping proshiping discourse on tiktok against my will again, and with it i realised that i don't really hate Martin or Jmart, i just hate when their fanon versions are seen as canon. Like, i'm a big Elias/Jonah fan, and i often be saying shit like "He's so babygirl" "He did nothing wrong" etc, in a joking way, so it's hypocritical of me to criticise Martin fans for doing the same. But the problem is that TMA is one of those fandoms where the fans have divorced the characters so much from the original source that i'm not really sure if they're just babyfing Martin the same way i do Elias or if they legit think he's a "small bean" in the podcast. Idk if i worded this the best way

I get it. Martin's treated like a stereotypical sweetheart can-do-no-wrong cinnamon roll or just straight up like a self-insert, and jonmartin as a pairing are made to be a generic opposite aesthetics mlm ship #247 and I know this kind of thing happens with fandoms in general but jesus christ

I'm biased cause imo them being canon and the focus in both the last season and the whole podcast's ending was awful. But that aside, they had potential to be explored in fanworks (I mean it wasn't all that in the podcast itself but you could dig deeper if you fancied) but the vast majority of jmart works are just fix-its or some scottish cottage or slowburn office romance or flowershop aus. And that is so boring and generic and untrue to their characters. "What if we took a horror fiction podcast and removed all the creepy icky stuff and left only cute gays in love" that is nothing. You removed the main elements of the thing
