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

bitches will be like "this peice of media genuinely makes me sick. I am both mentally and physically unwell. it has done irreversible damage to me. I wish I can go back to before I even found out about it." and then recommended it to a good friend with a big smile on their face like it's the best thing ever created.

its me. I do this. and it IS the best thing ever created.

i was planning to post a fully rendered version on valentines day but i like the sketch a lot and im impatient so here

i feel like people forget that tim stoker is just. a huge fuckin nerd. like yeah he's Assigned Canonically Hot by Basira, kayaking king etc. but he references iocaine powder from the princess bride! he has a specialist interest in architecture and regularly infodumps about robert smirke to jon! he casually namedrops stanislavski while bantering with sasha! he's got a first class degree from trinity college! he's forever borrowing books from the library! he's able to regularly phish utility companies for confidential information! he figures out where the unknowing will happen based solely off his own research even though the rest of the archival team have been trying for months! anyway live laugh love timothy stoker you wouldve been a great archivist if you weren't so silly at heart.

Podcast so good I finished it and am now having coughing fits

The thing about watching TMA is that you spend 200 episodes being told that Jon's fatal flaw is his inability to "turn a blind eye" from anything, and yet, when you hear about a women who wakes up in a fresh grave on her every birthday, you, like Jon, want to hear that story too.

You (or otherwise known as the audience) know just as well as Jon that by taking statements he loses a bit of humanity and dooms the statement giver to relive their trauma every night in their sleep. But... that knowledge is tempting. It's so hard not to want to know. I mean, which birthday did it start? Which entity causes it? How does the statement giver feel about what's happening to her? You want to know so many things, despite understanding that's all for worst.

I think the point of TMA is that audience IS Jon to a certain degree. I think we're supposed to be just as bad as he is when it comes to the pursuit of understanding and knowledge, even when it's something that should be left alone. And the moment in the screenshot above is when I first had that thought, because when I first saw this conversation I went "Is he not going to elaborate on her story? That's kind of disappointing. I would have loved to get a full statement on that." Only to realize "Oh. Yikes. That's the exact same mindset that has lead Jon to this point."
