:
He’s so funny specifically because he’s very dramatic but he pretends everyone else is being dramatic.
Some examples:
- (when Jon threatens to quit unless Elias let’s him explore the creepy tunnels) “Good Lord, Jon, don’t be so dramatic. You know how difficult it would be to replace you.”
- (regarding murder) “I may have… Overreacted”
- *getting beaten up* “Detective, *wheeze* this is unnecessary”
- That time Elias told Jon Melanie was trying to kill him in his tired manager voice.
By beholding, I love Elias

The inherent transness of possession, of seeking out someone else’s body to use it as your own. Gender envy at its worst
My dear Jonah,
So, have been your... Friends, then? Is their return going to change your plans?
(PS: Dear admins, I have to say that this blog is beautiful! And I very much love this concept, I hope it goes well!)

Transcript: When they first appeared, I was shocked.
Was this a punishment? Would everything I’ve worked for be ruined?
But I looked closer and realized.
Everything is according to plan. This is a gift.
(Admin: Thank you so much! We are very excited about this blog, and are excited to share this plot/characters we have! Keep them asks coming :) )

‘it wasn’t your fault, just bad luck, though i’m sure the knowledge brings you no comfort’ is probably still one of the most meaningful things tma had to say
tma episodes 82 - 106 - 118 - 160 - 200
or, in other words, things that keep me awake at night if i think about them a little too intensely for my own good
sorry today i cant stop thinking about this but like. it is such a weird thing to say for someone who’s deliberately trying to hurt you. 'nothing that happened to you has been your fault, there is no reason no justification for it, it is just how it works because it is just bad luck’. it is such a fundamentally KIND thing to say.
of course it doesn’t diminish the harm but it is such a deliberate choice when it comes to his characterization that it upsets me to no end this was never brought to our attention more. jonah wanted to be in control of himself so much that he damned the world for it and continuously re-addresses his own control over the narrative by stressing how the other characters instead are not.
and yet this is never explored within the framework of the narrative even if season 5 would have been the perfect moment to do so. like what brought you to such extremes. what made you so scared.

Okay but hear me out.
At some point during seasons 1-4 Elias says something ominous to Jon and then adds “an old friend of mine used to say that the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it”. Jon blinks once, twice and then answers: “Elias, that’s just a quote by Oscar Wilde”.
Silence. No one ever mentions this again.
Fast-forward to the middle of the apocalypse when Martin sees Jon stumble and suddenly say, completely unprompted: “He was friends with Oscar Wilde??????”

i sincerely believe that “slut” is the greatest trait u can give a male character but they need to be pathetic and cringe fail about it

u know what. I bet the reason the Magnus Institute is looked down on by academics is bc Jonah violently disagrees with historians on several key points about history that he witnessed but that is misunderstood bc there’s no evidence and keeps trying to get ppl to change their assessment. so all the academic institutions think that every head of the Institute is just insane and judges the whole organization by that.
actual historian: these two men had a very close friendship-
200-year-old haunted eyeballs possessing the body of a man with no academic qualifications or credibility: they were fucking.
actual historian: can you tell me your source for that?
200-year-old haunted eyeballs vividly remembering the orgy he once attended with both the men in question: no.
the real reason jonah wanted to document everything was to have a source for the next orgy he gets asked about 200 more years down the road

must a villain be redeemed? isn’t it enough that they’re bitter, evil, and most importantly, hot?

favorite character havers: this is my fave :) i just think their design and character arc are neat :)
blorbo havers: this is my SCRUNKLIEST little guy and NO one fucking understands them like i do. i found them when they were living alone in a cave and nearly feral but i never gave up on them and NOW they don’t even bite when i put them in the microwave and watch them spin. they’re my best friend and my worst enemy AND my therapist. we share an unbreakable bond
