Mikaele Salesa is geniunely one of my favourite characters
So Salesa worked for motherfucking JURGEN LEITNER, saw a guy get eaten by a book and still thought, yeah I'm staying in this line of work but no books. INSANE BEHAVIOUR. And I think it somehow worked out for him, like how? My theory is that he was protected by the secret 15th fear, capitalism

Hello, Jon.
Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself.
I’m assuming you’re alone; you always did prefer to read your statements in private. I wouldn’t try too hard to stop reading; there’s every likelihood you’ll just hurt yourself. So just listen.
Now, shall we turn the page and try again?

jon gets tipsy off a couple sips of red wine and martin has to carry him around like a sack of potatoes

do you think the trend “would you still love me if i was a worm” is banned in the archives since the prentiss incident. like. tim says it as a joke once and jon almost spills his coffee on the carpet with how fast he turns around
New hc This is why Oliver Banks liked him so much
Jon doesn't want to die. he thinks he should die, which is a feeling that's followed him since he was eight. he goes through most seasons with the air of someone who fully believes they're about to take their rightful place in the grave, and he's terrified of it. there are some attempts in s4 where he tries to convince himself that he either wants to die or thinks he shouldn't, but I don't think any of it truly sticks. everything he's lived since he was eight has been with time bought by the death of someone else. and he's going to die, it just hasn't happened yet!
then the apocalypse happens, purely because he just hadn't died yet. he should have, but he didn't!
then he meets Annabelle Cane for the last time and learns that he was, in fact, never meant to die. at least not until he does everything the web planned for him.
jon must have been so good for the end
Some animation on YouTube reminded me that Jmart exists and now I need to cry because god I love those two and god they went through way too much during that podcast. I gotta relisten to it

I really wanted to add to Martins design some visible mark form The Lonely. Some kind of scar, like Jon is marked (many times (he's like a used chew toy, look at him). So with the loneliness, in my mind, a cold feeling, to the point of numbness (the COLD fog, the COLD uncaring ocean, etc.) I thought frostbite. Not the black sort, but a blue-ish scars on his hands. Forever deprived of sensation. I guess his hair was all white, but it receded a bit, after leaving The Lonely.
The Magnus Archives is a horror podcast WRONG
The Magnus Archives is a RomCom WRONG
