would jon actually go out and about in cool/gnc outfits? probably not, at least not when we know him, as he starts off horrifically insecure about being taken seriously in a way that doesn’t lend itself to allowing one to wear cool outfits, and after that his clothing concerns likely become largely “what would present the least hindrance were I to get kidnapped while wearing it?” which, again, doesn’t leave a lot of room for fun. what I do believe with my whole heart is that he inherited a certain amount of expensive jewelry and clothing from his mother and grandmother that he wouldn’t have felt right getting rid of, and, every so often, if he’s “bored,” he will decide to “play a bit of dress up” “for fun” and end up feeling a profound ache so deep in his chest that he thinks he might need to take the entire next week off work just to process it. and then he pointedly pretends that never happened.
Martin’s a fine character but it’s tragically looking like I’m always going to align myself more with the haters than anyone who likes or defends him. I’m tired of watching people like Martin get away with his kind of shit just because they’re Cute and Soft or whatever.
I don’t think the text suggests Jonah is under the impression that other people’s lives have less value than his own. In fact, I would argue that his philosophy appears refreshingly devoid of hypocrisy and entitlement, and is based on the idea that nothing has an inherent value assigned by a higher meaning. Everything is equally worthless, and he can therefore do whatever he wants.

“immortality sucks because all your friends die” all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.
“immortality sucks because you forget who you are” we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? “who i am” is a shadow cast on the wall.
“immortality sucks because” skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver
In 2012, evolutionary biologist Megan Porter compared almost 900 opsins from different species, and confirmed that they share a single ancestor. That original opsin arose in one of the earliest animals and was so efficient at capturing light that evolution never conjured up a better alternative. Instead, the ancestral protein diversified into a wide family tree of opsins, which now underlie all vision. Porter draws that tree as a circle, with branches radiating outward from a single point. It looks like a giant eye.
