If TMA was set in America Jon would have just fed on statements by going onto r/ask Reddit and then would have shot Elias
IM GONNA CRY WTAF LMAO,,, having a fat giggle over this
I saw a post a while ago saying that tma in america just. doesn't work. because americans are nowhere near as cagey as brits?? that is SO TRUE.
american tma is just a compilation of r/AITA posts from elias, jon, melanie, tim, sasha, martin, daisy and basira. the statements are all from r/confessions.
has every allergy and intolerance under the sun (especially lactose but he's the type of lactose intolerant to actually not ingest things with lactose in so he takes his tea black until martin realises and stocks up on oat milk)
he bites his nails
he had a nervous habit of twirling his hair when he was a kid to the point where it became super knotty which comes back when it grows out to his shoulders
he is very good at cooking and enjoys it when he can
the number one boss mug he got from his assistants is his most prized possession
[ID: A Magnus Archives comic set in season one. Jon looks backwards nervously, then happily holds out a bag of cat food, making "pss pss pss" sounds as a meowing cat happily walks up to him. Jon kneels and smiles as the cat licks one of his hands, exclaiming, "Ah! Well, thank you. I feel truly appreciated."
The perspective changes to show Martin hiding behind a brick wall, holding a bag of cat treats himself. He's blushing and has a hand to his face in bewildered shock. In the background, Jon continues happily petting the cat, going, "Aren't you such a sweet thing..." End ID]
jonathan sims never attended parties in uni because he thought they made him look unprofessional and didn't approve of the activities. samama khalid never attended parties in uni because he is epileptic and there was This One Dude who always brought a shitty disco light and put it on the highest surface he could reach
as a teenager, jon would jump train barriers and just. go places. the furthest he ever went without being checked was up to scotland. while he worked in research, he did this to avoid extra expenses wherever he could.
we all describe Jon Jarchivist Sims as a wet cat and I bet he stretches like one too. like that man probably sits at his desk for 8 hours a day at a minimum. it probably takes everything inside Martin not to go "aww big stretch" whenever he sees him do it
I saw a headcanon somewhere about how Jon is always staring right into the camera when someone takes a photo that he happens to be in and it's all I've been thinking about. Picture this, a group of friends take a photo together that Jon is in the background of and when they look at the photo they notice him just watching. They turn around and notice that he's clearly in the middle of talking with someone and doesn't even notice them. Now THAT is my shit! We need more spooky photos of Jon!
