My thoughts on.... Jonah Magnus (DONT ARCHIVE)

Jonah Magnus|Elias Bouchard - Pansexual biromantic switch

So  this is totally my headcanon and you can be like

BAH, THIS IS  NOT WHAT I THINK!

If so go somewhere else.

But I think Jonah was quite the dissipated rake back in youth pre institute days. He fucked men, women and those he wasn’t sure about. While he doesn’t exactly LIKE women or men for that matter. He enjoys the ‘charms’ of women’s bodies: Tits, ass, hips, pussies, legs. But does harbor in his heart of hearts some very sexist notions about them. He likes eating pussy, the smell, the taste, the reactions he gets from the person who’s pussy he’s eating. Not only did the beholding help him with this but he has enough experience.  He loves having power over people, which is why he gets off on it and deeply enjoys using his hands and mouth to do so. Oh yes, he loves fellating as well for the same reasons. And while he NOT as unenlightened about men’s abilities he’s a smug cunt who thinks he’s above his fellow man, due to his intelligence, class, beholding avatar and all it entails. With men he likes bottoming mostly and loves rough sex with rough trade, having his holes absolutely destroyed, especially by those with MASSIVE COCKS. Also if a man with penis wants him to  Top or blow him he’s not about to turn that down.

Back when Jonah was in original vessel  and young he was scandalous AF, not only for the rumors about  his thirst for occult knowledge but all other things he got up too, drinking, boozing and fucking anything that stood still long enough. He lost his homosexual virginity to an upper class men at Eton at 13, and later his ‘heterosexual’ virginity to a chambermaid who was roughly his age at 15.

 He sired seven bastards (only half survived to adulthood and he was only aware of five until the watcher’s crown) including a daughter on his mistress, the younger sister of a former friend who he seduced and eloped with during a summer visit, who he kept with false promises of a marriage. He financially supported the one he KNEW about that was about as far it went. His tumultuous affair with lord Byron was just a small chapter in both of the scandals of both their lives when it ended Byron burned all the letters. Jonah kept them. 

 Also the rumors he once hired a half dozen ‘sailors’ (rough trade) rented rooms in a bad part of London to spend three days boozing, drinking and getting gang banged by the rough trade (another rumor that was confirmed much later).  As well as the rumors he was supplementing the meager  second son allowance his father provided with offering discreet caning, birching and flogging to certain gentlemen.

All of this was before he founded the Magnus institute. What a busy, busy boy!

His affairs with his male friends, who he corresponded with including the late unfortunate Barnabas Bennett, famous architect Robert Smirke are merely hinted at by the flowery, intimate, homo social writing style of the day.

Apparently he was also screwing his Valet in middle age and attempting to sire a ‘vessel for the beholding’ on a female servant of the beholding…this ended with her murder by said valet and the fetus they created discovered during her autopsy was liberally dotted with eyes… it is one the many curiosities he keeps in his office if you know where to look ;)

Anyhow Jonah discovered through the many decades that his basic drives: hunger/thirst, sleep sex, etc. are controlled by the vessel he’s in while his eldritch nature can provide more stamina to delay the need to eat or sleep but they don’t end it entirely and eventually he will need a meal or a good night’s sleep.

The sex drive well that’s ENTIRELY controlled by every vessel’s own unique hormonal cocktail.

Some have had low sex drives, some middle range, some strong, some have had sex drive and or ability to get an erection entirely disappear with the onset of middle age.

Jonah doesn’t care: it’s not why he chooses the vessel (more on that later).

Elias Bouchard’s body had a very visceral NEED for sex, well into middle age.

Jonah hadn’t felt like that since he was was in own skin.

Jonah soon realized that if Elias Bouchard hadn’t been so depressed and stoned all the time, he’d be humping nearly everything.

So Jonah made adjustments, because when sex with someone is needed at the minimum four times a week or bad things happen, he made sure he got laid on the regular.

How?

Well cliche but Peter Lukas… his off again on again partner.

Other partners: avatar and employees... sexy archivists mebbe?

Other side long term relationships with mortals I guess… because Peter and Elias have an open relationship and Elias likes variety in his choice of genders and genitalia.

Hook-ups.

Jonah abuses his beholding powers to scan the thoughts of those around him to see if anyone is checking him out.

There is usually someone he finds suitable to fuck nearby.

He has a sexy posh voice, and always chooses a conventionally attractive male body with an ass, and full head of hair, dresses well not over the top and maintains his body a reasonable amount.

Usually it’s cis and if so he likes a cock between 5-8 inches uncut. 

Only cis male vessel that was circumcised was Richard Mendelson (who was Jewish by birth) and Jonah did not like how sensitive the circumcised penis was… it took some adjusting not a jizz in pants when a stiff breeze gushed by. 

So he can usually find a lover for a quickie in a disabled toilet or public park bathroom or whatever.

Also although HE enjoys giving sexual pleasure to his partner for his own awful reasons… he doesn’t always feel the need to do anything for them, just get his rocks off. Also likes being seen and  gets off watching which is a given .   If he’s fucking someone in his office during lunch or after hours he  often leaves the door open a crack so someone will watch him

And finally no matter the vessel or decade, JONAH MAGNUS NEVER CLOSES HIS EYES DURING SEX.

[trans-jon-rights]

Recently, I was thinking about a very particular flavour of Monster Jon fics.

The ones in which Jon's appearance switches over the course of the story, ending up without an ounce of humanity remaining into his features, while Elias himself stays perfectly human.

Because in those stories, what is interesting is how Jon will always be the one blamed for being monstrous. It's his fault, he was the one who went down that path.

But just like Viktor Frankenstein and his monster, is it truly his fault ? Jon is like the seven corpses of those men. He didn't choose to be made into the Archivist by Elias, yet he ended up being a part of his creation. The Archivist didn't choose to be made either, but Elias gave it life through years of work.

Funny how, even in canon, Jon is always the first to be blamed, even before Elias himself.

Take, for example, the dialogue between Tim and Martin in MAG 58.

Over the course of this entire interaction, Tim blames Jon for his paranoia, and Martin tries to defend him. Yet, Elias, the authority figure, is mentioned one time, then completely bypassed to put the blame on Jon.

In this situation, Jon is stalking his coworkers. Elias should do something, right ? Jon is clearly under a lot of pressure and mental distress. He can't realistically be expected to take the whole situation for himself because he isn't in a mental space where he can. Elias should be the one blamed for not doing something about it (for example, forcing Jon to take time off until he gets better, suggesting therapy, or sanctioning him for his behaviour towards his coworkers), but he isn't. Tim talked to Elias, but it "doesn't seem to be doing good". Martin suggested therapy to Jon, but "he keeps saying no". Again, Elias should be blamed for these issues, but Jon is instead.

And in the stories where Jon became monstrous in appearance as well, Jon is blamed for becoming what he did, even though it's not his fault.

Jon may be the one who looks like a monster, but he is only the victim of Elias' own monstrosity.

[deaderthandoubledead]

Just finished MAG 192 and gosh I missed him

[sunriseovergotham]

ELIAS BOUCHARD IS NOT A CAPITALIST HE LITERALLY RUNS A NONPROFIT❗❗

[ichabodcranemills]

man it must’ve been insane listening to Wolf 359 not knowing how it ends and by “Rebranding” listening to Mr Cutter introducing himself as Carter.

CARTER. AS IN PRYCE AND CARTER DSSPPM. I would’ve lost my entire shit

[statement-of-blorbo]

— Statement of Elias Bouchard, regarding the workplace fanfic somebody is definitely going to get fired over.

[disappointingcabbage]

TMAGP 20 thoughts, spoilers under the cut!!

The original title of the episode was Skin Deep, but they changed it to Social Stigma. Inch Resting… giving Ink5oul vibes…

Sam wants to talk to Alice and Celia Away From The Computers about the Magnus Institute. Smart but ineffective, though to be fair he doesn’t know they can listen on, like, every piece of technology imaginable lmao

poor Alice is Done With This Shit, understandable after her chat with Colin tbh

Oh shit Sam figured out the Protocol equals arson shenanigans…

The OIAR had the institute destroyed by Starkwall? I hate that that makes sense, I very much wanted Gertrude to have done it. Gobsmackingly uncommon L for arson grandma I guess.

Wait, not only did Starkwall burn the institute down, they also killed all the employees? Damn, seems like overkill but makes sense if that just means Elias wasn’t bluffing in TMA about how killing him kills everyone at the Institute.

I guess that means Jonah Magnus is super dead in this universe. Nice.

Also Gertrude either never worked for the Magnus Institute in this universe or she was able to quit before the Protocol was enacted and the institute was destroyed.

Alice makes a good point about not wanting to piss off the government by exposing real conspiracies, judging by the extreme nature of Arson Protocols, if Sam keeps digging deeper he could put himself and perhaps also Alice and Celia in serious danger

I love that Celia is advocating for Sam

THE LADS IN THE COMPUTER SENT SAM AN EMAIL WITH DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THAT STARKWALL BURNED DOWN THE INSTITUTE???

But this time the email address that sent it was gibberish… I don’t think that was the case for the one that sent him Gerry’s address… inch resting…

The fact that they know they’re working for the bad guys this early on in comparison to TMA is really cool tbh

Celia is definitely not beating the universe hopping allegations with her “are we sure destroying the institute was a bad thing? They wanted to end the world” take

Alice is pulling a Georgie and noping out. Fair enough.

Celia’s still down to investigate, hell yeah

HOLY FUCKING SHIT INK5OUL MY BELOVED

Why are they tattooing in a warehouse? Odd choice of venue lmao

Oh, they’re tattooing a corpse. Sounds about right for them tbh.

The fact that they’re commenting on how Gwen has “nice skin” is giving me Nikola Orsinov vibes

The OIAR wants Ink5oul to be an external? Neat. Why weren’t they one already?

Oh shit Ink5oul seems to be in the middle of becoming an avatar and they don’t understand what the fuck is happening

They didn’t originally want to be Spooky, just wanted social media fame. Oof. Also doesn’t help that the first time they went viral it was a complete accident.

Oh shit the statement for this week is just Ink5oul talking to Gwen.

Lmao they accidentally stumbled into the spooky while looking for inspiration (and/or tattoo designs old enough to steal without getting caught)

So Oscar Jarrett was basically the original Ink5oul, and “adapting” his supernaturally flavored designs is the only thing that gets them fame

Ink5oul, bestie, I think your friends were right to be worried about you, not just jealous.

Oh shit Jarrett tattoos don’t decay? Funky!! That explains all the grave robbing.

It’s kind of hilarious that constantly changing venues due to running from the law just kind of helped with Ink5oul’s branding online like no one thought it was suspicious at all, they were just like “ooh spooky blorbo”

Oh damn, emulating Jarrett’s work changed Ink5oul’s own work and made it Spooky? AND it made them want to see people afraid? Yeah this is some avatar shit.

Ink5oul does not in fact want to be an external. That tracks tbh

Gwen do Not talk town to the spooky ink person

“This is the part where you start running” Gwen pissed off the wrong one lmao

I unfortunally don't have The Sims 4 anymore (I had the og paired with totally legal not even a lil bit OFMD inspired DLCs but the DLCs bugged for ocean reasons and it broke the og and now I don't have it but can't redowload it because it acts as if it's still on my PC) but I was looking at my phone's note to delete some and I found a detailed traits plan for a bunch of TMA characthers. So I'm posting it here in case someone finds it usefull or a fun thing to discuss (or tells me how to fix my game so I can add new totally legal DLCs and play as my beloved blorbos).

-

The traits change as seasons go because CHARACTHER DEVELO0MENT, my beloved.

P.S: no season 5 because the literal end of the world brings more than 3 traits on it's victims/survivors

S2: Paranoid, Perfecionist, Bookworm

S3: Cat Lover, Gloomy, Paranoid

S4: Gloomy, Cat Lover, Bookworm

Scotland: Socialy Akward, Cat Lover, Bookworm

Aspiration: Reinassanse Sim (nerd) (he can also be a wizard and have Spellcraft and Sorcery or play as uni Jon and have Academic, uni Jon's traits are more open to interpretation I would suggest Perfectionist, Cat Lover and Bookworm but rly up to player)

Martin - S1: Creative, Socialy Akward, Clumsy

S2/S3: Creative, Socialy Akward, Loyal

S4: Gloomy, Loner, Loyal

Scotland: Creative, Jealous, Loyal

Aspiration: Best-Selling Author (when concluded there is also Country Caretaker for the good countryside good cow life, let's pretend the Eyepocalipse never happens and no one is likely a compurter program)

Sasha - Genius, Good, Geek

Aspiration: Nerdy Brain

Not-Sasha - Evil, Mean, Kleptomaniac (stoled some tapes)

Aspiration: Chief of Mischief (I hear you Public Enemy fans but Chief of Mischief has Tormentor as a bonus trait so...)

Tim - S1/S2: Bro, Outgoing, Adventurous

S2/s3: Hot Headed, Gloomy, Adventurous

Aspiration: Extreme Sport Enthusiast (for all the kayaking; other sugestion is Serial Romantic, for all the cop seduction as unfortunally revenge isn't a sims 4 aspiration but maybe there is a mod? Would sugest looking for it)

Basira - S3: Bookworm, Dog Lover, Loyal

S4: Dog Lover, Ambitious, Genius

Aspiration: Nerdy Brain (baby just wants to read and chill)(I'm unsure of her traits cause I actually think she just has all 5 and picking the more evident per season was hard. I feel very proud of Dog Lover for her tho, she loves her werewolf wife)

Daisy - Hunt: Mean, Hot-Headed, Loyal

Post Hunt: Dog Lover, Loyal, Active

Aspiration: Lone Wolf/ Inner Peace (she changes aspiration, also sugestion werewolf, the lone one is cause Basira is all the pack she needs)

Georgie - Foddie, Outgoing, Catlover

Aspiration: Computer Whizz (unsure what do with aspirations for her, I also considered Neighboorhood Confidant for the cult and also how protective she is of her people and Master Actress for the matress add, on the other hand is fundamental you buy the brave bonus trait for her)

Melanie - Slaughter: Hot Headed, Mean, Erratic

No Slaughter: Hot Headed, Geek, Romantic

Aspiration: World Famous Celebrity (with her yt channel)/ Archeology Schoolar (is the closest to non moded paranormal specialist sorry)

Elias- Actually Jonah (that bitch): Evil, Self-Absorved, Genius

Aspiration: Fabulosly Welthy (he already is but wants to keep being without having to rly work for it)

Peter: Loner, Evil, Child of the Ocean

Aspiration: Sucefull Lineage (hear me out: that's the whole Lukas thing ok? Also isolating people is not a valid option)

Gertrude: Genius, Ambitious, Self-Assured

Aspiration: The Positivity Challenge (?) (Is the closest to stopping rituals ig, if you find smt better please please tell me)

Gerry (my son): Bookworm, Gloomy, Music Lover

Aspiration: The Positivity Challenge (?) (again burning Leitners, stopping rituals, other better ideias would be appreciated)/ Painter Extraordinary (this one was added rn while formating the list for Tumblr and is inspired by happy Gerry from TMAGP : ) )

Aspiration: Friend of the World

Distortion: Eratic, Evil, Insider

Helen Richardson: Non-Comital, Ambitious, Self-Assured

Aspiration: Mansion Baron

Distortion: Eratic, Evil, Cheerfull

Agnes (my gal): Romantic, Gloomy, Self-Assured

Aspiration: City Life (because she scaped the cult)/ Soulmate (be it that guy or Gertrude)

Annabelle (my problematic fave): Ambitious, Perfecionist, Genius

Aspiration: I'm unsure maybe Public Enemy for the evil plot + mastermind trait or Friend of the Wolrd but friend is in quotation marks for her.

[klm-zoflorr]

"remember when I said I didn't have anything interesting to add" at the end of a goddamn tag essay is funny as shit. anyway I'm mentally rotating the concept of elias inserting himself into Jon's s5 statements now. oughgh

Sometimes the spirit of the blorbos possesses me to write tag essays... These are the good days. You don't want to be near me on the bad days

Okay because this is. This is a great concept. Right??? That poor unsuspecting victim turns the corner and then. Boom. ELIAS. Maybe at first it's just descriptions. Then he starts talking, oh god, and what he's saying become longer and longer and more personal. Then it starts becoming JUST Elias. He's SO invasive. He's watching. Uhhh i think he knows we're coming martin.

Oh, fuck this. You know what i said about worse days? Thats one. I'm having a blast. Writoing be upon ye.

***

It wasn't much, at first. A familiar face in the crowd, someone out of place, blink and you miss it.

Jon doesn't think he was in the cabin. But then again, it wasn't really a statement, was it? Wasn't a piece of the terror he and his God feed upon now. But maybe he was. Ever Watching that he is.

He does remember the first time he noticed, because something struck him as odd. Something that wasn't quite... Right. Someone that shouldn't be there, did not have any purpose there.

Alexei feels his knees start to buckle as he sees his comrades stagger out of the cloud. Their melting teeth flow down their faces like tears, and their limbs begin to fold and collapse as the bones within them liquefy. Among them, there is a man standing there like a mirage, tall and smiling, untouched by any of the slaughter. But then there is a bright light swallowing all, and the loudest sound he will ever hear, and Alexei turns and starts to flee.

***

She's sitting, nailed to an incomfortable wooden chair. But her pins aren't metal, oh no, far worse. They're eyes, all sorts of colors and shapes and sizes and textures and wetness, peering at her from above and sideways and below. She wants to screw her eyes shut just to pretend that's not happening, but she finds with horror that she does not have lids anymore.

There is a strange man sitting in the other chair.

"Oh God, where am I, who are you?"

"I'm Jonah Magnus."

He's smiling, and it's all kinds of wrongs. She gets the feeling he is so, so pleased to be able to say this, although she doesn't understand why -how could she? Just a cog in the machine, and ignorant creature driven to her slaughter.

"What have you done to me, where am I, how do I make this stop?" She cries, because it hurts, being stared at, pierced by this otherworldly gaze that never ceases.

He wipes a tear from her face almost gently, almost paternally. His touch leaves pupils blossoming in its wake, a blessing from someone that does not wish her good.

"Don't cry, it won't stop your nightmare. Nothing can, because that's what your life is now."

[sparky-is-spiders]

Okay actually further anti jm thoughts. Also general time travel AU thoughts.

Back when I was really into jm I read a bunch of time-travel fix-its where S5 Jon wales up in the body of S1 Jon. And every single time there’d be this uncomfortably niggling thought in my mind that what happened there was that S5 Jon essentially killed and replaced S1 Jon. Because… I mean that IS what happened, right? All of S1 Jon’s personality and life experiences written over by someone else’s memories and personalities. It doesn’t matter if they’re both Jon, they’re different people and different Jons. And I ignored it because the author did and the characters did. This was a comforting fix-it for my (at the time) favorite ship. Why muddy it up by worrying over Jon being overwritten and replaced by himself? But actually thinking about it now that my preferences have changed makes me sad. Do Jon’s friends (including the dude who is possibly in love with him) care that he’s basically been turned into a totally different person? Because in most of those AUs they ARE friends. Would Tim “Stranger trauma” Stoker be completely cool with finding out that his Jon had been essentially swapped out with a new, different Jon? There’s something depressing about it, I think, when the big reveal that this is actually future!Jon happens and nobody even thinks to ask “what about past Jon? What about the person we worked with for years?” They all just accept that Jon became a completely different person one day and that everything is fine.

Also don’t understand Jon getting with Martin in those AUs. Just like Jon is completely different in S5 compared to S1, so is Martin. I may not like Martin very much (at all) but. Does he deserve to be replaced that quickly and easily by his younger self? Would Jon not feel like they’re talking to a different person? That the man they grew to love (*cough* feel dependent for affection and validation from *cough*) wasn’t there at all? That this Martin was boring (because he is) or too cloying? Even if they still held some affection for him I can’t see it working out long term, with Jon chasing the shadow of a man who isn’t there and never will be and a Martin who gets Jon even less than he already did. I can see Jon leaning on him as a crutch while knowing they can never be with him (it’s too dangerous, they’re too busy trying to stop Elias) and slowly coming to the conclusion that they don’t want to be. They’re projecting their (complicated, messy, sometimes unpleasant) feelings for a dead man onto someone who (for better or worse (probably better tbh)) won’t ever become him. If we’re going full fix-it, this means Jon will have time to process their guilt and acknowledge that their relationship was actually bad for them, and that they weren’t compatible at all. They can move on from their version of Martin and start seeing this Martin as his own person.

If Jon needs a romance I think it should be another monster. Somebody who can understand Jon’s new nature without guilting them over it and who Jon wouldn’t feel the need to hide anything from. For something more gentle and soft we could have some nice Jonoliver. Alternatively Jon could ask for Peter’s help in hiding from Elias, leading to a much messier relationship (que Jon googling “how do you tell your crush that you killed them in a past life?”) where Jon’s never quite sure how much they can trust Peter but they have so much less to hide from him. And of course there’s Jon deciding to just. Seduce Jonah (I mean revealing that his plan to get permanent immortality and safety fails and he DIES would probably put him off his plans). Lots of options to choose from really, especially now that Jon has “haunted, mysterious eldritch monster” going for him. Like. C’mon. Powerful monster who’s torn up by guilt and trying so hard to save people while rocking the scrawny academic look? Jon’s got options now and I think they should shop around.

Okay my main point is that time travel AUs are best when they aren’t endgame Jmart.

.

[theallegedbird]

ok so i’ve calmed down a bit (had to eat dinner and pretend to be normal in front of family)

(thoughts on the update under the cut)

ok so first the obvious: JONNY AND ALEX??? AND THEIR CHARACTERS ARE REDACTED?? HM I WONDER WHY /S

it would be funny as shit (would be in despair) if they were playing with us trying to get us screaming because jmart are coming back and then they’re just two random ass characters

like alex is mfing jared hopworth

if this is our jmart and not some alternate version honestly i think it would be cool that they were the antagonists or at least somewhere in the middle, they deserve to be unhinged and morally grey,, as a treat

considering the oh hello tape is canon in tmp we’re definitely getting some variation, alternate or not, of at least martin and probably jon

if it IS tma jmart then they’re probably the ones reasonable for burning down the institute,, they get some arson they deserve it

i have two wolves inside of me, one says “jon and martin shouldn’t come back because it ruins the ambiguity and tragedy of tma” and the other says “JONNY PLEse BRING THEM BACK I NEED MY BLORBOS ALIVE AND HAPPY I AM BEGG-“

also tim fearons character being redacted too,, nope no do NOT trust that

hhh imagine if it’s one of jonah’s previous bodies, like james wright or maybe it’s somehow jonah himself??? (unlikely)

ALSO GWENDOLYN BOUCHARD??? RELATIVE?? ELIAS MILF EDITION??

agnes theories are REALLY getting to me rn,, the ashes on the logo image, the way the institute was destroyed,, please can she show up jonny and alex always said they regretted not using her as much

i need to run around in circles to calm down i’m having big autism moment rn (insane on the verge of collapsing)

ALSO ALICE AND SAMAMA,, RUNNING TO MAKE DESIGNS OF THEM BEFORE IT COMES OUT TO SEE HOW WRONG I AM

[the-independent-archive]

Right, so, Magnus Protocol thoughts and theories after Ep. 1-2:

1.

Diversity win! The fables machines, the 'Personal Computers', that you have to use for your god-forsaken job are gay!

But in all seriousness, the blorbos are probably in the Windows Nt 4.0. However, using the voices as evidence is a bit iffy, as demostrated by CAT1RBC5257-12052022-09012024, the first incident in Ep. 1, the 'some of him' line might hint at it not being all of them (also people are talking about MAG 63 - Binary, and yeah, that also seems to work, if the 'icantthinkpastthecorners' from the ARG is to be beleived).

But, there was a clue that I don't see many people noticing (credit to @laughable-umbrella, where I saw this clue). In the TMP trailer, this was on the 'boot screen':

[ID: The above image is in the style of an old computer start-up screen, showing the text:

JMJ.Mag 2023 Beta 0023.24

Initializing J.01 ... OK

Initializing M.01 ... OK

Initializing J.02 ... OK

End ID]

As we can see, two J's and an M. We already have two voices, Jon's and Martin's. Who are we missing?

Jonah.

Not Elsias-Jonah.

Jonah-Jonah.

On the cast sheet, Jonny and Alex have their character names glitched out. But theres one other actor with their name glitched.

Tim Fearson, who, as far as I can remember, has not appeared on Magnus before. We might finally have a voice for Jimmy Magma himself.

Anyway.

Lighting round for the rest cause this is already too long:

Gwen Bouchard my beloved. Apparently the best at neptism. Father/Uncle Elias(?!?!?!?)

They can quit (apparently). Good for Teddy.

Sam knows the Institute (more on that later).

Fears are blury now, see previous post

[spookbot]

I don't really do much fandoming on this account anymore because in the last fourteen years it's gotten inextricably tangled up with my offline identity, but rest assured. jonah magnus/elias bouchard is my blorbo of all time

[sunriseovergotham]

pointing the aromanticifaction beam at all of my faves. woe, aromantism be upon yee

[superpussyking]

I can't believe I've never made a jonah/elias playlist- my blorbo for the past 3 years- no playlist? For my bloebo?? My silly guy has no playlist? What a sad neglected life he must have I never even made him a playlist

[itchyeye]

do you think elias considers his first few bodies his "young and wild days"?

he mentions he did a few drugs in his youth but conveniently leaves out the fact he was 45 years old and it was prescribed by his "good friend" jonathan (disambiguation).

(i got a full time delivery job so i will be an inbox terror from now on [unless you would like me to stop] because i do my most productive blorbo rotations while in my silly little kia rio. [ also the fact its one of the few times im properly medicated for my adhd helps ] )

i think elias considers himself to be smack in the middle of his young and wild days tbh! that's what happens when you have guaranteed eternal life and youth on tap. probably when he was in his original body, he felt the aging process the same way any mortal would. probably more accutely because he was searching desperately for a way to avoid death. but after the first swap i think his whole relationship to age would change. he lived one full life already, and was now thrust back into youth (or, like, young adulthood) with the knowledge that he could re-access youth whenever he wanted forever

i think it pleases him to make little comments about how he's really getting up there in years and ooooh when you get you be /my/ age :3 while outwardly looking in his mid 40s

i also personally like to hc that he body swaps with men in their late 30s/early 40s at LEAST because he prefers to appear more mature. it works for his director position of course, but it's also the age he likes best. and he' been every age many times :) (i personally picture him as looking about 50 during tma's canon timeline)

all to say that i think jonah thinks of his literal youth (the first one) as his young and wild days, and everything after his first body swap is sort of like the whole world being his oyster forever

also PLEASE cite the thing about drugs in his youth if you have an episode/specific pull quote bc i think that's from an episode i haven't listened to

congrats on your new job!!! i love getting messages and i love talking about elias so don't sweat it, i'm having a grand ol' time

also a kia rio was my dream car a few years ago when i was looking to replace my subaru that got totaled ✨️ i had my eye on a little red one i was gonna name the pussy wagon
