Soft Mellow Light Brings Warmth To My Months Of Ice.

Right brain only think of @xenolinn 's Cat!Jon Time Travel au

He snuggles Martin during Wormsᵗᵐ because someone had to.

Elias got the mug as sign of peace to cat Jon but he immediately pushed it off the desk and broke the handle before chasing him out.

Martin uses it now cause of course he does.

I read through all of Elias/Jonah's dialogue (as you do) plus some relistening and mentions of him, so here's a big list of some fun things and behaviors I noted!

I thought he made a lot of eye puns/jokes, but he only does it once in mag161, however he does enjoy making jokes. "Creativity never was their forte." from mag80, "You want my account? My sworn testimony? My statement?" from 82, "If you die, I’m afraid you probably won’t be able to claim your expenses." in 116 and "I only have two eyes, after all." in 120. no one ever laughs at his jokes only he finds them amusing

His last words telling Jon a sarcastic or mocking "good luck" are mirrored earlier as he also tells Basira good luck the last time he sees her, and Martin, as he's getting arrested

He loves gloating. "I forget how new you all are to this." from mag92, "Coffee is not as good for disguising tastes as you might think." in 98, "She’s hoping that even if I see it coming she’ll still be able to overpower me. She’s wrong, of course," in 102, "A masterpiece, isn’t it?" abt his panopticon in 158 and of course his whole monologue in 160

He does his budgeting on tuesdays and his scheduling on wednesdays

He also likes getting lost in work

in mag40 he makes up proper incompetency (said he didnt know how the fire system works, while he later admits he was actively waiting) just that once, but more so he acts like he doesnt get the full picture (doesnt know whats in the tunnels, whats strange about the institute) or acts too late and apologises (not stepping into jon's stalking behaviour). Which makes me think he is quite fine letting people think less of him but unless he has something to hide hes not actively looking to give the impression

in mag92 elias slides the papers for basira across his desk, but you don't hear him take them out before, meaning he prepared and got ready for this before he called the police

in general he's a very preparing man, Lukas steps in when Elias is arrested so has has control over who'd run it. in mag118 he says he prepared something to hurt martin (my speculation is that he likely has some trauma that could hurt you prepared for any person that could cross him, just in case he needs it). When he gets arrested he has something prepared so he doesnt get killed and ofc s1-4 is preparing Jon for his grand ritual

Elias admits the idea for his ritual kinda fell into place after Getrude didnt do anything about the people's church in march 2015. He shot Getrude and appointed Jon shortly after so "when you came to me already marked by the Web, I knew it had to be you." is pure dramatics as Jon was hired 4 years prior

also he got his ritual in 2018 so he managed to acomplish his life's goal in only 3 years, love his grindset 🔥

We never get a number for how many people Elias has killed in his ritual, the real life millbank has held over 1000 people at once, but id imagine his one panopticon held less than a whole complex

its really interesting to me in mag92 that hes SO sure they all know he's talking to them of his own free will. is he just that dead set on being in control or making sure they take no credit for his confession

there is a clock in Elias' office (but it's only heard in mag98)

He has killed people but Elias is very much not a blood thirsty person. Getrude and Peter are both surprised when he results to that. He's very much just ruthless and does not care, if to get his way he has to kill someone. It doesnt seem like he's ever happy to do so, maybe this is a quirk of being eye aligned and getting rid of any type of knowledge is painful (he does for example never want Tim to die at the Unknowing), or he just finds covering those murders up a hassle

for the Unknowing Elias books them all hotel rooms, how thoughtful

something cute to me that Jon was too good at the Eye that Elias couldnt meet him face to face post coma

In mag158 he implies that even Institute employees not in the archives are tied to it, at least enough that they could suffer or die if it burned down

between finding other people just as tools to watch and discard and saying empathy holds you back he was definitely a very very lonely man

He is a very breathy person. He sounds breathy when he talks. He takes deep breaths to ready himself and before he uses his powers. And he often breathes through his nose before speaking or during pauses

He has said Jon's name 62 times, only twice calling him "Jonathan" and called him archivist 25 times (24 in the mag120 statement, 1 in mag138 and 1 in mag161)(he also kinda calls him The Archive in 160)

other fun amount of words: know (65 times), see (42), martin (35), detective (20), eyes (20) and eye (9), afraid (9) and "bullshit" (1)

its still insane to me they added all of those sound effects of Elias' cuffs in prison, thats something fun to appreciate. It also means its canon he gestures quite a bit!

Lyanna starks haunts the narrative. You should see how jealous Elia's fans are from this fact. They want george and the narrative to care for her. They think it's unfair that Elia doesn't haunt it too when all that she is is a plot device, while lyanna is the woman of the prophecy and the mother of Jon, the promised one. It's not like I hate Elia, but someone dared to say that Elia deserved the flower crown at Harrenhall when it's lyanna's motif.

I can't wait until they see that even Arthur Dayne cared for lyanna more. He probably stayed by her side comforting her after Rhaegar's death. I wouldn't be surprised if he was attracted to her. Not to hate on Elia but to show them the truth.

i'm so sorry but you've come to the wrong place, yes i was crying over lyanna a couple hours ago but i've cried over elia too because what could you possibly have against a dead woman in asoiaf who's only crime was... being in an arranged marriage? not being lyanna?

in all seriousness maybe george and the narrative don't care about elia but i do. she watched her baby's head be caved in and then was brutally raped and murdered and i hate that that's the most important thing we know about her. i wish elia was as important as lyanna, but how cruel is it to sit and compare two dead women by how much they matter to the living men.

also i have no idea what you're talking about arthur dayne and you can say this isn't hating, but it feels kinda like hating to me 😭

EDIT: i've thought about it more and "i wouldnt be surprised if he was attracted to her. not to hate on elia but to show them the truth" is such a wild statement please don't come back 😭

jonah magnus possessing someone for the first time. one eye at a time. jonah magnus looking in the mirror, oh, my eyes inside someone else, and they look a bit too different. jonah magnus scared, terrified of what he's done, staring at his own body. just sitting there. seeing himself fully with his own eyes, a perspective no human is supposed to view themself from. this is how everyone else sees you. jonah magnus examining his own body. this is what my face looked like. jonah magnus picking up the knife again, just out of curiosity. just to see if it still hurts. jonah magnus sitting in his own lap, cutting into his own skin, falling asleep in his own arms, beholding himself.

i’m sure someone’s already thought of this but like tma hadestown au when… (ft. low budget doodles)

Who the fuck is Jeremy where is my husband stoner Elias

[yanderemommabean]

Elias knocking up reader has me in a vice, how would things progress

Once he knows you're with his child, it's even more uptight and obsessive behavior. Not too many red dyes, no raw fish, no meats he thinks are bad for the baby, and god forbid you accidentally forget one of your many vitamins he insists you take. He remembers the night fondly when you two "tried for a baby" which was really just him messing with your birth control and never pulling out through all four rounds. You looked ethereal covered in sweat, basking in the afterglow as he brought you to the peak over and over again. Now that he knows you're his, that you're starting the family he's always wished he had, he wont let you slip through his fingers. He had a similar family to the one Lee lost many years ago, except he wishes they were dead. Sadly, they're still alive and walking the earth. It's fine. You're all he needs. Maybe he'll be lucky and you'll have twins! Or triplets! Oh that thought sends such thrills through his body. But that also means, he has so much more to protect. So no, you cant go outside without him. No you wont chat with the others unless he's by your side. You will only eat what he approves and taste tests, and you'll put up with the small over protectiveness unless you want him to go completely off the deep end and keep you tied down and drugged up until the baby comes. There's no winning with a psycho like him. But it's ok! He loves you!

in another world, peter and elias are catty husbands who know all the gossip of their neighbors, watch reality tv specifically to be haters, take any opportunity to flex their wealth on acquaintances, and make their fourth divorce everyone's problem

Am I A Monster? Or Just Another Victim?

[goodolefashionedloverboi]

My partner and I started making up names with characters from our respective podcasts for if we ever decide to have pets, and this is what we came up with

Also:

Chip Blackwood and Martin Ferin

[charmophron]

my dumbest fandom legacy is still naming the peter lukas/elias bouchard ship lonelyeyes. another white mans useless contribution to society

[catofoldstones]

I wonder what it would feel like to find out that your husband and father of your two children is a paedophile at Super Bowl in front of the whole of country because that’s what Elia felt.

[threefuckencrowsinatrenchcoat]

Whenever I do a TMA s1 relisten I love love love finding things that ended up changing over the next few seasons as the show became more fully fleshed out. Tim being serious and Sasha being the joker? Iconic. Whatever the fuck entity was leaving bags of doll heads and prayers on some random doorstep? Who even are you. How could you do that. What’s your number.

Anyway I need more of these to keep going thanks

[halfsixwakeup]

just showed my friend a lineup of Jon, Martin, Sasha and Tim and she responded 'Twink twink lesbian librarian twink' and damn she may as well have already seen season 1
