Was it ever explicitly stated that Jon’s hair is going gray? Or is it another widespread headcanon

I’m still not over season 5. I’m still not over the fact that Jon was pushed aside in his own story.

In the end, the “Ceaseless Watcher’s Special Little Boy” was no more than a disposable puppet. Nothing he had to say mattered. Not a single action he could’ve taken would’ve changed anything, and yet he was blamed for “not trying to help”. No one cared about him as a person, he was just regarded as The Archivist. No one bothered to think of him.

Not only did he get stripped of all agency regarding his own life, not only was he outright despised by all the people he valued, but on top of it all he suddenly stopped mattering in the story itself.

All nuance was forgotten. Even the audience began to see him through the prism of his relationship with Martin. The violent monster. The one who caused it all. The bloodthirsty, vengeful Antichrist. The Archive of all fear. The one who died at the end.

any strong opinions on jonelias or mr magnus in general

Jonelias could’ve been absolutely delicious. Such a shame that the fandom peaked in 2020-21 and the ship was brushed off as bad because “it’s toxic”.

As for Elias/Jonah, he was one of the only characters that I actually liked, mostly because he had an intriguing and pleasant manner of speaking. Charming. And he was a really interesting guy - since we, as the audience, saw him from Jon’s perspective he was painted as a villain, but he was really just doing what everyone else in his situation would’ve done and he was aware of it. He wasn’t really evil, at least not in that cartoony sense like everyone likes to portray him, but god was he curious. And a control freak.

Him and Jon would complete eachother in the most gruesome of ways. The creator and his creation. Jon both dehumanized and worshipped. Him hating Elias yet desiring his approval. We really could’ve had it all. But no, he was killed in one single swipe and Jon got to be badass for like three minutes despite it going against the very nature of his relationship with Elias as was previously shown and instead we got two bland gays Somewhere Else™. How tragic
