New hc john grace runs entirely off of adrenaline and the moment he’s forced to slow down or stop completely (outside of runs) he just passes out on the spot. Crumples into a heap. That man has managed to sleep everywhere BUT the bed

Might be a hot take I think it’s weird to make jokes about john grace being homophobic actually I think he’s gay as hell

Anyone who thinks Seltzer’s only personality trait is her crush on Menthol is getting rocks thrown at them

I love Elias 'Jonah Magnus' Bouchard so much. I love this 200 year old man who loves spreadsheets and passively watching horrible shit going around him; I love him for how he heard there are horrible Fears Entities in the world, had his mentor tell him 'we need to balance them out!' whilst all their friends where picking a side and becoming horrible monsters or tragic victims and went "actually I'll pick one and just learn how to play the game until i'm untouchable". I love a man who was so afraid of death he decided he would just not die and then found a way to do it for decades without being found out. I love that he has all this terrifying fear power and he oftentimes uses it to know where there is cake in his institute.

He is a scholar. He is a boring boss. He is a smug evil prick who relishes into his evilness and power. He tells his employees to do admin to feel better. He sighs when he has to torture them because they keep try to kill him. He's impressed and horny when someone successfully challenges his expectations. His idea of comfort is to ask philosophical questions about humanity. He only starts to take actions in order to manipulate this one guy into being the key to his ritual and his equal.

I love a man who realized all the rituals meant nothing, went 'very well' and instead of like, calmly going 'this means i'm in peace" went "well i'm going to be the first one to succeed by thinking of what my good mentor had said once. they all need to be together, balanced out." and then he DID succeed. He did have his apocalypse. And it was glorious and he loved every second of horror it was.

I love a man who never once apologized for being selfish, evil, and power hungry, and embraced all his flaws quite so willingly. And who, at the end, dying, all of this going to dust, watched his most beautiful creation, his most perfect work, his legacy, rise to take his place as king,, and merely told him good luck.

i understand why they only speak once in season four but to circumvent that impossibility of a face to face meeting because jon would pry his secrets out of him, elias really should've sent jon statements as a means of communication (i mean. he's done it before). season four jon has been abandoned by his maker after he made him (which is both beholding and elias, because elias is the only one that understands what's happening to him and the only one who will tell him to not kill himself about it). contrast it with season three where elias is at least somewhat of a guiding presence, jon is frustratingly out of his depth once again. even the beholding won't let him Know anything useful because after stopping the unknowing jon's interests no longer align with elias's (I am the avatar of awful knowledge and revealed secrets, so what does it not want me to know? - MAG 154). and most crucial detail of all, he's so very lonely. they should've done something with this! not that elias has ever been a repository of particularly helpful advice but he would've managed to say something that would simultaneously reassure jon (no you can't stop, this is what you're meant to do) and fuck him up enormously (this is good! this is a promising development, i'm proud of you) because is this what he's doing he's seeking absolution from elias of all people. that's how i would write it. establish a pattern with two or three statements masquerading as conversational letters, and then break jon's (and in turn, the audience's) trust with the 160 statement. so like. where's the episode of jon learning he's received a note from elias in prison and it begins like this

forgot to say this in that post but very funny how people think elias will just turn into a cartoon fail villain if someone other than jon was archivist and would have all his plans foiled within five minutes. i know people do it because they hate him and can't engage with his character sincerely for like, five seconds, but be serious. he's an extremely competent villain and if your fave is not named season five jon or gertrude (and even she got shot), they would not. in fact. survive him :)

It’s kind of hard to explain how exactly I view john grace but the simplest way to describe it would be that he acts sort of like my cat, which is to say he’s perfectly chill and sassy but then he hears the tiniest noise and reacts like he just saw someone get shot in front of him
