this is very shrimple. the web and the eye are in an unhappy but stable marriage where the eye thinks it’s the head honcho breadwinner of the family and has really let that self image go to its head but the web has that employment-childcare-household admin triple burden thing going on and is fully aware that if it took three days off of all its responsibilities then the entire family would come crashing down and has also let that go to its head, and it’s just waiting until their child comes of age and moves out so it can finally fucking divorce the eye and thrive on its own. their child is a beautiful baby girl named jonathan sims and his parents are giving him every trauma ever.
The thing that’s so funny about jonelias to me is that only 10% of their relationship would be twin pupils of the Eye feeding off your fears monster fuckery and the other 90% would be bitching about their coworkers and quiet nights in
After going out for dinner (stalking and eating the trauma of some random person on the street) they go home and complete a 1000 piece puzzle on Elias’ dining room table. This is date night to them. Do you understand my vision
The Magnus Archives AU where Adelard Dekker survives his fight with John Amherst and goes on to deal with all manner of fear-related problems by just fucking sealing their avatars in concrete. Eventually, he collects a complete set for every entity and it accidentally constitutes a successful ritual for the Buried.
eugh blugh anyway anyway. elias like talks to jon completely differently than he talks to anyone else. if jon is the room he is talking exclusively to jon regardless of how many other people are in the room. if jon is not in the room but there’s a tape recorder running he’s talking to jon. if he thinks jon might have this conversation relayed to him at a later date he’s talking to jon. mag 92 is hysterical because why did you pack this office with as many people as possible for this conversation and then audibly not break eye contact with one specific guy for twenty minutes. well this is because jon is the only person that actually exists to him in this situation. or most situations. elias knows he’s in a podcast but as far as he’s concerned he and jon are the only characters in it and everyone else is set dressing and he gets so cranky about it when the set dressing starts expressing free will. jon is aware that other people exist 95% of the time unless he is actively talking to and/or yelling at elias and then he kind of forgor. mag 102 when elias is like melanie is coming to murder me with a knife for like .25 seconds jon is like the fuck is melanie and then returns to reality and remembers he has a life outside of “weird thing with elias” and is kind of embarrassed. like uh whoops sorry got kind of intense there for a second (elias continues to be kind of intense unabated) (forever)
