Jon: If you need a vessel so bad why don't you just become-
Elias: Because I'm not scared of them.
Jon: ......
Elias: I don't need your body, Jon. I need your fear. ๐
Meanwhile, Elias the Gaslight King in earlier seasons: Jon you know I'd never let anything bad happen to you, I'm only trying to help. We need to save the world together, isn't that what we're trying to achieve? Oh Jon, Jon, Jon, bad things are only happening because you do not trust me. Trust me, and we can save everyone. Don't you believe me?
Then it went the exact opposite with Peter and Martin.๐๐๐
Peter: I've got the perfect plan to beat Elias. Can you do what it takes to become the hero?
Martin: I'm going to save the world?
Peter: Yes, and it will be you and you alone. Do you trust me?
Martin: I trust you.
That same season ๐
Peter: You played me! ๐ณ๐ญ You've been lying to me this entire time.
Martin: You lied first ๐ and I knew it the instant you told me I'd save the world. I can't save the world. I've never saved anything in my entire life. I'm not important enough to be the hero.
#And it fascinates me to no end. The amusing spin on the characters. With Elias and Jon you've got a Master Manipulator#and a Pessimist with no sense of self preservation. ๐#With Peter and Martin you've got someone who's not spent enough time with people to either know how manipulation works or when someone is#lying to him. ๐#And someone with low self esteem. ๐#Jon has low self esteem too#but he genuinely believes he can fix everything himself and that's where they differ.#And things only start changing for the better when Jon can fully rely on Martin#And here's the most fascinating thing of all.#Stopping the apocalypse#giving Jon the confidence to embrace his powers but not get consumed by them#that was all Martin#Fighting for Jon's life#that was Martin.#At the end of the day#Martin was the hero#and he never realised it.#tma#the magnus archives#jmart#tma jmart#jon x martin#martin blackwood#jonathan sims#If Martin is the knight in shining armour that would make Jon our princess#seems about right#it's about time we got a monster-core princess too#Jon showing up to the grand ball covered from head to toe in eyes.#elias bouchard#peter lukas
