God listening to Jon turning Jordan this time hit a lot harder. I didn’t really think that hard on it before, just thought “hey that’s fucked up. Jon clearly panicked seeing someone he knew suffer”
But this time I realized something. Jon has been watching this man in his dreams for years now. Every night he’s seen him suffering while he was unable to move, unable to help. And now here he is again. Jordan suffering, Jon watching. Except this time he can do something. And so he does cause he’s so desperate to HELP
THAT IS THE THING.
I have seen so many people take the word of the literal embodiment of gaslighting (Helen) because she’s funny and has a great VA…
Or Jonah, who projects like hell, spilling his own issues onto Jon…
“Oh Jon enjoys it he’s not good anymore”
Listen up, children.
If you do not understand why unwanted pleasure is a violation and does NOT constitute “you really wanted this,” then I’m glad you never been assaulted, but guess what?
Abusers often tell their victims it’s their fault, they wanted it.
It is never true.
To the end, Jon kept being the person who threw himself into the Buried to save a woman who cut his throat.
That is why this is a tragedy and not due comeuppance. They deserved a happy ending.
