this has probably been said before but i think it would be funny if elias just gave jon the archivist job for being ace
i mean it’s not like he’s a prude—there’s Literally nothing he hasn’t seen before—but babysitting a fledging avatar is tedious enough without waiting for them to use up all their vacation time abusing the power of the Eye and it’s physically impossible to fire them
pre-s1 tim: hey elias why the hell did you skip over sasha for the promotion??? she’s literally better than jon in every conceivable way???
elias, scrambling for an explanation that will raise fewer questions than his personal policy against giving the archivist job to anyone who fucks: uh. because i hate women
[ID: tags from op that read “tim: but gertrude was a woman! elias (panicking and doubling down): she was a fucking WHAT” end ID]
the duality of jon is that he cares very deeply about people and will fight tooth and nail to not lose sight of himself and still has a lingering guilt for a death he had no control over at age eight but also he put peter lukas through a psychic wood chipper and then never thought about it again
