i already gave elijah volkov meeting jonah magnus enough thought (the conclusion was extremely psychosexual with religious overtones), but now i’m thinking about john gaius meeting jonah magnus. he would see him as essencially just a very troubled teenager. “i’m 200 years old.” “omg…you have your whole life ahead of you…” <- one of them is a victim of the industrial revolution and species dysphoria. the other is a victim of some sort of greek tragedy and his own hero complex
