i never stopped thinking about that “agonizing bliss” line. i never stopped thinking about the state of jonah magnus in s5. it’s such a subversion of a typical storyline - you’re expecting a fight. a grand finale. but then the finale is there, and it’s just…it’s a still image. a haunting still image of a man who willingly rendered himself inhuman. he doesn’t fight. he doesn’t have a final monologue. he just dies like a fucking thing. he dies like an object.

it feels like it should be anti-climactic, but it’s not. it’s so effective. it’s so fitting. jonah magnus was a tragedy writing itself from the beginning.
