@waldos-art colored my most recent drawing of nightmare!Jon and I literally almost clutched my heart when I saw how beautiful it was. Surely this is witchcraft!
The more I think about it, the more I keep circling
back to how warped the Eye’s ‘favoritism’ is with Jon. Specifically, how much
it resembles that vibe that pet owners with
cagey, finicky cats have.
“At least you love me,” the Eye says, holding Jon to
it as he hisses and tries to escape.
“I Know you’d never leave me,” the Eye says, swatting
Jon’s hand every time he tries to touch Forbidden Actually Helpful Knowledge
That Would Undo the Fearpocalypse ™.
“I wouldn’t! I’m good! I worship you!” says Jonah
Magnus sitting in the Panopticon-Cat Tower, like he always does. Jonah is the
lazy fucker cat who only comes when there’s food (power) in it for him and then
pisses back off to doze in the same spot for 14 hours.
The Eye rolls. It looks back at Jon, the active,
hackle-raised, grudgingly-indoor, endlessly amusing cat that keeps knocking
things over, running in circles, climbing shelves, screaming at all the doors
and windows, getting stuck in the blinds, and generally being nonstop
entertainment. But in all this time, Jon hasn’t interacted with the Eye much.
Has been doing his best to avoid it.
But now that Jon
has kicked off the Change, he is also finally,
reluctantly, purposefully asking the Eye for attention/aid.
“Ceaseless Watcher,” says Jon. “Would you please smite
some avatars for me?”
And the Eye has been hopping to it with the glee of
someone hearing the cat purr at them for the first time.
Obsessed with this idea most of the day, doodled up some ideas.
