To honor all of the "Jon, offended theater kid" headcanons popping up, I would like to direct everyone again to MAG 120.1 - Season 3 Q+A
[Alex] ...Does the Archivist taking on the persona of the people's statements revitalize him, or does the Archivist just have a secret passtime of putting in different personalities really well? Is he- Is Jon a secret impressionist?
[Jonny] Uh, we- I mean lore wise, the first one, though we came to the conclusion very early in recording Season One that The Archivist is secretly a bit of a drama queen.
[Alex] Yeah.
[Jonny] Really likes-
[Alex] Yeah.
[Jonny] Like- it’s-it’s 90 percent a hostile malevolent alien force taking over-
[Alex] He’s working with what he was given.
[Jonny] But I mean, fundamentally he doesn’t not like getting into a statement and really giving it a bit of the ol’ - like he probably did some am-dram.
[Alex] (laughs) I bet he was insufferable while he was doing it.
[Jonny] Oh yeah.
