jon if they let him have anything at all

The TMA ending kills me because I think Season 5 sets up two battles:

One between humanity and monsterhood, with Jon having to decide how much his humanity still matters in a world where he's already done the worst thing possible (End the world) and now gets rewarded for it by being one of the few people who don't have to suffer as terribly as those stuck in dominions. He's stuck between his humanity and thing that gives him power and saves him. He tries to cling to his humanity, but then he's given another choice:

This time it's between selflessness and selfishness. Jon could make the selfish choice and save his world and the people he loves by sending the fears away and likely dooming another universe just to spare his own. His world has already been damaged in a way that's going to be near-impossible to ever come back to "normal" from, and the people he love have already been effected by it irreversibly, unlike the innocent people in the other universe.

The other option is to make the selfless choice. Doom his universe, himself, and the people he loves, but spare another universe from the horror that's already been inflicted on his. He could just let everything slowly and painfully die out, which would be an agonizing process for everyone he knows, but it would spare possibly billions in another world.

And in the end, Jon makes the selfish choice. He choose his world, the people he loves, the people he hurt, the people he took statements from but couldn't truly help until now. He chooses his own priorities instead of a better tomorrow for a bunch of strangers.

Yet the irony is by making the selfish choice, Jon is also choosing his humanity. He's choosing his love and connections to people over the power he would have as the judge, jury, and executioner of this new world. And of course he does. Because Jon, at the end of the day, is one of the most human characters in TMA, and is there is really anything more human than deciding to keep the people you care for safe, no matter the cost?

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

[momokarp]

sorry for the inbox spam, but…so in this au, was Michael not completely distorted or do they just have slightly more control over their own mind. Also how did they escape??

I like to think that he managed to figure out how to read the impossible map (and maybe come to the realization on some things) before he found his own way out, but he definitely didn’t leave those corridors unscathed, and he’s going to have a lot of trust issues from now 🫠

Jon Sims loved "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" as a child.

Martin Blackwood loved "Courage The Cowardly Dog" as a child.

Tim Stoker loved "Scooby Doo" as a child.

Sasha James loved "Goosebumps" as a child.

That's it. That's the post.

its fucking stellar to have Jon Jarchivist Sims as one of the blorbos in your repertoire because any time you see a post that’s even a little bit about being scared, you automatically have a guy to blorbotag it as. He’s like the #1 scared guy of all time. he was so freaked out constantly that the freak got In and he became an Avatar Of Scared. who else is doing it like him truly.

I need Jon (after stabbing Jonah) to look like a mix of an eldritch monstrosity and the exact look he had in the first episode, maybe it'd switch between them?

I am once again NOT getting over how the Unknowing reveals each character's most core instincts by stripping away their rational understanding of context.

Strip away Tim's understanding of the situation, and you see that his anger is bone deep and insatiable. There is genuine hurt and righteous fury there, but he no longer cares where that fury is directed. There's a reason Elias called him a "rogue element."

Strip away Basira's understanding of the situation, and she immediately starts caculating how to function with little to no available info. She relies so heavily on her senses and her own judgement of simple *if x, then y* logic that she doesn't need to understand things in order to navigate them. And she knows this, which gives her the resolve to see it through without second-guessing herself, either.

Strip away Daisy's understanding of the situation, and she is left almost ferally defensive. She doesn't trust anything, and she is so accustomed to operating in situations wherein she has the undeniable upper hand that she is immediately set on the aggressive (akin to an animal attacking out of fear) when she is no longer certain of where she stands. You see a similar, if more subdued, version of this in her interview with Elias when she loses her advantage and starts making more and more desperate death threats the more certain she is that he has one over her.

Finally, Jon. Strip away Jon's understanding of the situation and you find underneath it all the same core that has been there since the beginning of s1: an insecure man who is frightened by the significance of the task placed on him. A man who is desperately searching for some guidance and help. A man who is so intrinsically willing to trust if only there isn't some exterior circumstance causing him to doubt.

this podcast genuinely haunts me

Something that will always get me about MAG 92 is the fact that Jon gets dragged back to the archives visibly worse for wear. His clothes are ripped, he’s covered in dirt, his hair is tousled and knotted, he reeks of ozone, damp earth, and blood. He is clutching a horrifically burnt hand and his neck wound is still open and sluggishly dripping blood onto the collar of (Georgie’s) shirt. All of this, and only one single person bothers to ask if he’s ok, bothers to ask what happened. (“Goodness Jon, whatever happened to your hand? And your neck-”) 

Then that very same person goes on to confess to two murders in front of you and all your co-workers. Not even Martin asks if Jon is ok. And then every single one of Jon’s assistants leave him bleeding, weak, and vulnerable in the hands of a literal murderer. Despite this, Jon can’t help but trust Elias, to need him, to ask him the most vulnerable questions because Elias is the only one to actively praise him. The only one to tell him he’s doing well, to make sure he’s ok, to care for him.
