the virgin canon of jon being distanced from everyone even in research days vs the chad fanon of tim and jon building up such a solid rapport they become a two guy package deal. a noted duo. and one day when jon actually calls in sick tim mopes around and complains and sulks dramatically and whenever anyone is like ?!? sasha is like “oh he’s just missing his little friend today he’ll be fine tomorrow”
wouldnt it be a fucked up callback if they had a running bit back then where tim cracks some dad joke or pun and jon is like 🙄 that’s not funny and tim is like i know ;)
i could add so much recontextualization by just making shit up
[ID: An excerpt from the transcript of MAG119 that reads:
Tim: [dryly] You sound stressed. You know I hear the great Grimaldi’s in town. You should go see it, cheer yourself up.
Nikola: That’s. Not. Funny. (Italics: That’s not funny.)
Tim: I know. End ID]
Favourite part about Tim & Jon posts is when they start nice and fuzzy and warm and then they kick you in the stomach.
