one of my favorite flavors of jonelias is that jon had a super long standing crush on elias from a distance when he was a researcher and went out of his way to have debates with him when they bumped into one another just for the sake of argument you know as a skeptic and he absolutely had a teacher’s pet sort of vibe going on so when he was promoted to head archivist he was like well of COURSE elias has finally seen the light and i can save this place from going to the dogs also omg he values my work 🥺🥺🥺
