ngl i rlly enjoy the idea of Jon actually being a Really good cook. like, better than Martin in fact. just cuz like, he was a neurodivergent kid who lived with his gran. he prolly picked it up because he was one of the few people he trusted to be able to make foods that didn't have Icky Texture. and i feel like it just adds another layer of tragedy to his character. just imagine him finding a bit of solace in his cooking. repeatable motions that are easy to just fall into, + plus having control over what's going into his body. and then as he falls into his workaholic habits, he begins to lose touch with that part of himself. and then after the coma he tries to cook again and discovers all human foods just taste like nothing. no joy to be found in them. another part of himself lost to the Entities.
