Unfortunately saw a post making fun of jon for being a skeptic in s1, using ghost spider statement as their example. Like it isnt VERY OBVIOUS on relisten that Jon KNOWS that statement is real and is FRIGHTENED of that and he later STATES OUTRIGHT that his skepticism is a way of protecting himself from things that he KNOWS are real

I get it we want to have our goofs and our funny little moments. But what drives me completely nuts about it is that what Jon is actually doing in s1 IS funny. He is using his entire theater kid heart to play this Head Archivist character he's MADE UP. He's fleshed out this character's backstory (from Bournemouth, a town that he experienced as VERY boring and NOT supernatural at ALL, thank you), he's given him a fancy, academic-sounding accent, and he's made him TEN YEARS older than Jon actually is.

It's funny that he did that! His imposter syndrome was so bad that he literally invented a character to be instead of himself. What an icon. Jarchivist Sims, there is truly no one like you <3

Conversation that definitely happened after Mag 92:

Elias: Oh, Jon, before you go I wanted to give you this

Jon: “Kidnapping punch card?” What is this?

Elias: I took the liberty of giving you your first stamp, each time you get kidnapped you earn another one.

Jon: I’m sorry, is my being kidnapped going to be a regular occurrence?

Elias: Hazard of the job I’m afraid, you do get a month free from potentially being kidnapped after collecting five stamps though

Bonus:

Jon: Why is there a list of those fear things on the back with some of them crossed off? What’s the Buried?

Elias: Oh that’s my copy, must have given it to you by mistake

Sometimes I truly want to sit into the Elias and Jon's dynamics pre-archives/Season 1 because (nottobepettyaboutpeoplewhoassumesjonautomaticallydislikeseliasfor???) I feel like it informs SO MUCH of how they behave later on. They clearly already have some sort of relationship that's based on both respect, freedom and guidance and, I feel, conversations.

"He's not smoking again, is he?" implies that Elias is not only aware Jon used to be a smoker, but has been at least involved in a periphical manner to Jon /stopping/ smoking, and approving of it. (Which, yes, drives me insane. We need so much more jonelias fics where Elias takes,, an active role in helping Jon stop that particular habit)

The fact the very first words that Jon adresses to the tape recorders are for Elias; that he's already discussed with him the problematic statements at all!

Jon acknowledging that Elias is the most knowledgeable man when it comes to the paranormal, which! again! I see so little people talk about but is a clear expression of Jon recognizing and admiring Elias's skills in his particular domain! AND is possibly the reason why he keeps coming back to him later on (and other people). Elias just! knows his stuff. And possibly he used to share a bit more with Jon :').

I don't know, the mere fact that Elias is like "Jon, we got a complain about you" and Jon only snarks "Fine, I'll be more lovely" and it's the end of it is insane to me. I know Elias IS known to be a passive boss, but EVEN SO. The freedom that's given to Jon, all along! Wild and beautiful.

Them flirting over Jon's birthday cake. I can see the scene. Their eyeing each other like they're two seconds away from kissing and everybody else has a moment of "oh, god, please don't, why do you make things uncomfy"

I don't know what this post is actually about, just. Elias and Jon. Getting along. From day one. JON ACTUALLY LIKING AND ADMIRING HIM. Yknow.
