the thing is that martin thinks it took "two years of crisis and trauma" just to make him and jon compatible and the reason jon doesn't know how to rebut that wildly incorrect fact is because he's barely aware that he had a stick so far up his ass in season one that it grew roots in his brain before he stubbornly and meticulously and with gritted teeth plucked them all out. jon could've plucked those roots out before all the trauma and crises if he simply chose to. and he would. in so many universes. because martin (and friendship and love and connection) is worth it. mic drop
#martin blackwood? a reliable narrator? I think the fuck not#they meet in the worst possible situation to foster a relationship but that doesn't mean they NEED trauma to bond#necessarily#on the other hand. a part of my brain finds the idea that they only find each other in this specific universe weirdly romantic#or well. romantic isn't the right word#but. intriguing I guess#anyway. we didn't get it right but love we did our best#or whatever#tma#jonmartin#jon sims#martin#jmart#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#the magnus archives#ALSO#martin is complicit in the season one incompatibility#though not quite as much
