WHY do I need to think about Tables when I COULD be thinking about JE adoptive incest

Listen. Listen. Yes yes Jon developing Feelings for his father but also. Elias seeing his new son grow and change throughout the years. He is not just guiding Jon into being a tool he is lovingly sculpting the child who will one day become his new god. He is seeing his younger self in Jon, so so curious, feeling a separation from everyone else he can’t fully explain (and you CAN’T convince me Jonah didn’t feel like that at least a little. Come on.), touched by the powers and aching to learn more. So genuinely fond and affectionate for his son, his boy. Seeing the ways he changes Jon, his little quirks, the ways he responds to Elias. Thinking that he knows Jon and can predict him and then suddenly Jon is surprising him yet again, such a fascinating enigma. And god it’s going to be this one, isn’t it? There’s nobody more perfectly suited to the task. Jon is so, so perfect. He’ll make a beautiful monster, and he’ll have his loving father to guide him every step of the way.
