#Jonpeter

[rookfeatherrambles]

Note to self: write horror fic where Jon is an academic student brought to a remote island by the Lukas family to get practical field experience but they and the fishing village they run is real fucked up. I'm talking people walking into the sea and not coming back. I'm talking pets and birds and fish washing up on the beach. I'm talking a town that smells like fish on a good day, and shit and viscera on a bad one. Fishermen hauling up fucked up fish that make you sick to eat. People still eat them anyway.

Jon has to eat dinner with the Lukas family, in person, every night. He can't go outside after dark. They have rulrs, you see...

Also There's a murderer on the loose, mauling people like some kind of wild animal. The inhabitants say the island is cursed.

Jon is a skeptic and doesn't believe anything that's happening is anything more than coincidence, rumors and sheer bad luck. Even when he stumbled across a dude getting eaten alive.

Also Peter is there! :)

Inspirations: The game Dredge, the Monstrous Heart book series by Claire McKenna, the movies The Lighthouse and The King Tide. And Lovecraft. Loooooots of Lovecraft.

Recently I have been thinking about JonElias with Peter. I don't think many JonElias fans really think about him, at least within the ship context, and I'm included despite being a big PLukas fan.

But I think that there is some potential there. I don't particularly see Peter and Jon having any proper feelings for eachother, especially considering each of their relationships with Elias, but I think they would develop Something just by circumstance.

I like the idea of them discovering it comepletely on accident, too. Like, Jon ending up borrowing clothes from Peter, thinking they're Elias', and Peter pointing it out to him and they both have a little momment like. Why Don't I Mind This.

Oh yeah, I started writing a fanfic. I keep forgetting to post about it, so I am doing so now. It is J/mart being used for an endgame of PeterJonElias, and it has an ooc and terrible Web!Martin. I have tried my best to put content warnings before each chapter, so I hope it is enjoyable.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any opinions on Peter/Jon? Thank you.

Mm, I've drifted away from shipping aside from JE (which actively enriches the text to me), but I think Jonpeter has potential precisely because of how lonely Jon is as a person. Do you have any thoughts? :eyes:

[rookfeatherrambles]

Rebagling with the poem that sort of. gives a vibe of the whole thing. I need more JonPeter in my life so I guess I'm going to MAKE IT MYSELF.

TWS: noncon mention, death

The White Stag Queen

Raped and debased without remorse

The Poet set upon his course

To hold the king to his misdeed

To submissiveness he would not cede

Hooves for hands, ill-fitting skin, 

The price for speaking ill is sin, 

To gain back his court of favour, 

The king took the poet’s voice and labour

Love so twisted, choked and wrong

But the king had loved him long

Could not see his breath abated

Turned him into what he hated

Poet’s crown now antlers took

And fear upon him fell and shook

To flee the court of king so cruel

Into the woods in which he rule’d

To run, entice and ever chase

A prize of worth no man could take

His legs so fast and white as snow

The heart’s desire no man would know

Until one day the sun rose red

Upon a cabin newly stead

And white stag came to incentivize

The hunter that resid’ inside

Instead the man made it worthwhile

A place to sit, and rest from trial

To get to know who would befriend

And fall in love to bitter end

The stag’s curse stayed but never took 

And sleep was found in arm’s soft crook

Until the day it could bear no more

And begged the hunter to restore

The balance of the poet’s soul

So fragile and so beautiful

A chase was given, a knife did shine

At sunrise glorious, a light divine

One single last chaste kiss deliver’d

And sweet poet’s life was swiftly sever’d

To defy a king, a single smile,

A final breath, whispered denial

The hunter's tears he dearly wept

And clutching his love's body kept

His hearts desire was realized

For sunlight filled his lover’s eyes

And when he saw that supple chest

Rise and fall with warmth of breath,

He kissed him deep and with desire

And warmed him with internal fire

Took him home upon his bed

Made a wife of him instead

No man, nor king could come between

The hunter and his white stag queen

Commission for @rookfeatherrambles for their fae AU! Thank you for the support.

Came across your blog and fell in love with your takes on arguably the most important dynamic in tma (like it made me miss them and actually start a relisten after like never finding the energy to after the finale years back). Do you happen to write any fics or have any fic recs?

RAHHH thank you!! this is exactly what i'm hoping to achieve every time i post yet another one of my delusional comparatives 🙂‍↕️

and i don't write fics but i do have recs!

I'd suffer all if you'd tell me, by RavenXavier is definitive S4 silence of the lambs / red dragon prison visit fic. to me.

Death Be Not Proud, by Startless - is another prison visit fic, but it's an AU where jon chose to die in his coma and woke up as an avatar of the end.

Pinned in vain desire, by statuscrows is about jon slowly developing compulsion which causes problems for elias :) they probably write the most in-character elias. he's not nice, but he's fond of jon. i recommend, like, every single one of their je fics. nobody writes beholding powers quite like them, almost every fic is based around an aspect of the beholding. Skeptic is an AU where jon finds gertrude's tape on the first day of the job. statuscrows always writes jon with his early seasons abrasiveness and mean streak intact, which is really all i want from jon's characterisation. i don't want nice jon, take that awayyy; Ritual misery is set immediately after 160 and is doing more interesting things with the web than all of S5 put together; From his prospect high - jonathan sims learns to See; Quenched in darkness you shall see - this is noncon and dead dove. read the tags! reccing this because ritual voyeurism to please the beholding is a real and true concept.

Perchance to Dream, by parva_dae and once upon a dream, by indelibleangel - are dream fics, inspired by MAG 120. first one is a snippet of elias poking around in jon's head and worsening his fear and paranoia. he would do that ^_^ and in the second one they talk. and kiss.

and lilies, by kototyph - i read two chapters while it was still ongoing but it's finished now and i haven't gotten around to it yet, but from what i remember this had, like, revolutionary elias characterisation. he's a disaster. a very well put together, beautiful disaster.

also these two one shots they wrote for jonelias week which i liked very much :3

something different crosses the threshold, by aguntoaknifefight - amnesia. classic.

a heavenly madness, by roundthedecay - this is one of the very few, proper gothic fics with these two. there's a cursed oil painting. jon's having his life ruined by said cursed painting. and jonah/elias gets a proper gothic villain treatment.

Worn to Shadows, by Ash_Rabbit, which somewhat satisfies my bluebeard itch, but it's an AU with no institute.

everything Candentia has ever written, basically. they write entity horror really well, and i think almost every one of their je fics are squarely in the horror genre, which i appreciate very much. i'm here for the horror. and you have to check out Beholding's Own if only for the jonah chapters. it doesn't have that older mentor shaping the younger in their own image dynamic because this an AU in which they're childhood friends. but it's so good. it's so good!! the georgian jonah chapters are exquisite. the tone, voice, word choice, atmosphere, general everything. also, some serious wuthering heights stuff happening between these two. like, they get it. they get it! they've also written a bluebeard (and cupid & psyche) adjacent fic - darkly, which is a fairy tale au. and Where Hope and Reason Part is tagged dead dove for the detailed descriptions of eye gore. which is my thing. we need more of that.

Professional Distance - takes place during the birthday tape, has an excellent elias voice. he's evil. and enamoured by jon. and evil.

a glass essay, by fairbanks is jonpeter and only tangentially lonelyeyes and jonelias, but it's one of the most gorgeously written fics i've had the pleasure of reading. excellent isolation narrative and has symbolism which pays off in an unexpectedly perfect way. and as a guy who does not care about peter lukas or any ships involving him in the slightest. well. this got to me.

Scenes from an Epicenter, by NeverwinterThistle which is set during S3 and the first je fic i recall reading. the bit where elias takes jon home after distortion helen drops him in his office is canon to me <3

Dark Square Bishop, by Blissymbolics, exactly what it says on the tin. homoerotic chess match at the end of the world.

love when a ship is just two people fucking each other as a replacement for a third person

martinelias is always about Jon and jonpeter is always about Elias. Martin and Elias acknowledging they both know what it means to hopelessly pine for Jon, esp in s4 when they have to force themselves to stay back. it always comes to Jon, the one they truly want and the other is poor replacement for. it's better than risking their plans

and Peter and Jon both miss Elias even tho Peter is used to it, but he isn't used to knowing just how much Elias wants Jon, knowing that if there were no threat to his plan, he would be with Jon instead. and Jon is brooding because he isn't allowed to see Elias and also plain jealous. he is jealous of Peter who knows Elias better, longer. jealous that Peter is allowed visits and he doesn't visit anyway. he is jealous of their relationship and everything Peter implies that he wants to rip out of his head. it always comes down to Elias, the one they truly want and the other is poor replacement for. it's better than losing their pride and dignity and admitting how they both want Elias

[tideswept]

For the character breakdown ask game, would you mind maybe doing Padmé or Jon (whichever you prefer)?

Rubbing my hands gleefully. Okay, you asked for it!

How I feel about this character: Jon will always be special to me. He is the messiest of hot messes. He's brilliant. He's a dumbass. He's clever. He's dense. He's brave. He's a coward. He relentlessly wants the truth but is also afraid of it. He's hungry, he's lonely, his kindness leads to death and misery; he's a flawed human and a beautiful monster.

He's hilarious. He's tart and finicky but also soft and introspective. He's tired. He trusts too much and then too little. He's a sliver under the skin and a comforting blanket. He's everything and I love him. No one will ever replace him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: JonElias is my true love, naturally, but I have room in my heart for the utterly doomed TimJon and the fucked up mess of JonPeter. They all feed different hungers and I was never quite as well fed as when I got to write all three. 😘

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Tim or Gerry. Jon needs someone practical who can also kick ass.

My unpopular opinion about this character: The entire JonMartin relationship was toxic as fuck and if the narrative/the fandom had acknowledged that, I would have happily shipped it as the wretched thing that it is. Let me gobble up that dysfunction. DELICIOUS. Let Martin Blackwood be the absolute bastard he was born to be. But as it exists: not for me.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Fam, I could write three different thesis on this 😂 but needless to say, my experience listening to TMA became an increasingly grim exercise in exasperation halfway through s3.

This is why I like JonPeter. Jon is so lonely in season 4 that he could easily be a meal for Peter, and Jon needs someone to anchor him. Case and Point: Jon should have fallen into The Lonely, and get pulled out by Peter because he doesn't want Elias getting pissy that he killed his Archivist. This, of course, leaves them forcefully bound together somehow. This situation also pisses off Elias, which I feel they would both enjoy, even if they piss each other off to no end.

But yes. Lonely Jon is a delightful thing. Especially because Jon grew up as a "difficult child."

More on my miserable lonely Jon obsession but I genuinely cannot FATHOM how that man wasn’t eaten by the fucking lonely in S4. The handful of people he has left in his life are at best ambivalent that he’s alive and at worst are actively dangerous and aggressive him upon seeing him. He’s got complicated monster feelings and guilt up the wazoo. His only friend is the woman who kidnapped him and cut his throat. He’d make such a great meal for the Lonely and I have no idea why it didn’t try for him.

Barbra Streisand & her then boyfriend hairstylist and producer Jon Peters by Francesco Scavullo. April 1975!

"I learned about real women from Barbra. I learned about power. And equality. When we first met I thought men should get their way ninety percent of the time and women ten percent. Then, when we began living together, it began to change. Eighty-twenty. Seventy-thirty. It was like a sliding scale. Fifty-fifty. She was the most captivating, interesting, creative person I have ever met. I will always owe her for giving me the life that I've had." #JonPeters

3 (sending good brain vibes)

Straight 3 was yesterday's Jonpeter!

It was GOING to have some more detail about what happened pre-Lonely (Peter's plan worked, Martin killed Jonah and went into the Lonely, Jon still followed but got trapped, there was some poetic language I quite liked left behind in my notebook) but I liked the losing-memory angle enough to make it more exaggerated than that would've allowed

alternate 3, because looking made me laugh, is Daisy in s5 being monstery. There are maybe 5 fics with Daisy in them, so it made me laugh to have two in a row show up.

[Send me an ask with 1-31 or alternate 1-15 and I'll say something ominous about that Whumptober fill]

Someone remind me to ramble about the TMA JP Fae AU after work

[bluejayblueskies]

Would you mind answering 3 and 7 for the ask game? (Also, on that note, I think my favorite fic of yours would have to be Delphinus, I’m very fond of Jonpeter and I really liked how you wrote them there)

fanfic writer ask game!

3 - What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?

Oughh I have a couple! For Malevolent, I have an AU I'll get to eventually where Arthur is a sex worker who only ever sees a client once--except John, who he keeps managing to see again and again despite his self-imposed policy not to. For TMA, I have an AU where Jon wakes from the coma as an avatar of the End, as well as a freaky friday AU (partially outlined) where a Leitner causes Jon and Martin to switch bodies.

7 - What’s a troupe you love to write?

Answered here!

(and re: delphinus: thank you!! i have such a soft spot in my heart for jonpeter 💕)

[tarotrans]

Murder Husbands JonPeterElias

Like, a Jon who knows about what's going on, understands, and doesn't really care or even celebrates it. Jonah, who just loves his husbands loves being alive and loves his job. And Peter, who is both very happy and very confused as to how the hell his life turned out this way. All of them get to be happy, and they all stay fed, and their gods are pleased. Domestic JonPeterElias, my beloved. They deserve to be happy, and they deserve to be evil. Jon deserves a villain arc, and I wanna give it to him. Jon deserves to get coddled by the bastard men.

How willing would you be to draw JonPeter? I just think the possibilities are neat.

sounds interesting! i'm honestly willing to draw nearly anything
