#mag181

[bamboozling-jj]

the concept of salesa being martin's father figure...

...and listening to him ramble about his office crush <3

the inspiration for this one is mag181 where jonmartin meet salesa in the apocalypse. salesa is so kind to martin and generally just likes him which is a rare trait for tma characters LMAO. so maybe if things were just a bit different, these two could have had an actually meaningful relationship.

mikaele salesa is such an icon, i love his character and how he's voiced, and his conversation here with jon and martin is great. Martin defaulting to being the polite guest, smoothing over interactions with Salesa so he readily tells his story, Jon continually only asking questions, Salesa teasing him, it's all 👌. I wish we'd gotten to hear more of him... For the story it makes sense that we didn't, but he's just so fun to listen to @a-mag-a-day

martin, having a tense showdown with annabelle: I don’t like being manipulated.

jon, caramelldansen lights flashing in his eyes, staring blankly into the middle distance and getting tugged after martin:

i swear to fucking god mr jonny sims what the hell i was just sitting here puttering along enjoying 181 and you have to smack me upside the head with "what was it like?" most heartbreaking line this episode maybe this season jesus christ he doesnt even get to REMEMBER it? he doesnt even get to have the comfort of a memory? the bright spot in the end of the world, and he cant even have a tiny piece of it? huh? HUH?

jon, used to being able to use his powers even unconsciously from practically the beginning and vibrating internally about finally being able to find out how salesa escaped being swept up in the nightmarepocalypse, what this oasis is, and what hes doing with annabelle: tell me what happened

salesa, whos known about the powers of the eye since gertrude used it to stop him committing fraud that one time and knows perfectly well hes going to give the monologue hes been rehearsing for 6 years but has also been patiently waiting 71 hours for his next Dramatic Moment: no ❤

this was funnier in my head

[ID: A two-panel comic of Mikaele Salesa and Martin Blackwood. In the first panel, Mikaele smiles thoughtfully and says, “now you mention it, you actually remind me of Jurgen a bit-” In the second panel, Martin has a hand up and a nervous expression and says, “ah, uh-” as Mikaele says, “in his younger days, of course,” from off-screen. In front of Martin’s face are several transparent screenshots from the video “i fucking hate jurgen leitner” /End ID]

(Martin panel minus screenshots under the cut)

Thinking about the theoretical circumstances where Martin stayed back at Upton. Jon leaves, but he doesn't forget about Martin, no. He remembers Martin, he remembers they were traveling together, but he doesn't know exactly where and how they separated. All the Eye tells him is that Martin chose to leave Jon behind and now, he's all alone.
