jonah magnus being trans is Such a big brain idea. The Eye is so heavily associated with Watching, but also being Seen. the dichotomy between the fear of being Seen by others vs the euphoria for being Seen for who you are is so inherently tied to the experiences of many trans people; something i assume that would ring especially true for someone raised in an ultra-conservative victorian england. it is no wonder that a man who’s desire for knowledge and desire/fear to be Seen would become such a prolific avatar of The Ceaseless Watcher.
