Just gonna keep all my self-indulgent fun Drama aus here. Anyway my brain is feeling more cooperative now but only for soap opera Jonelias. Nothing else. So.

I'm obsessed with. Jonelias torrid affair. I'm thinking younger researcher Jon. Pre season 1. And Elias is this cool, calm, extremely knowledgeable guy that Jon looks up to, who's taken on something of a mentorship role. And Jon's just nursing the most embarrassing crush, but this is his boss who is like twice his age, but Elias just knows so much and he's got this steady air to him that helps Jon feel more grounded and he's so interesting to talk to and what's Jon even supposed to do about that???? And it doesn't help that Elias is actively interested in him and invested in him. So the abandonment issues and need to Impress Elias (because maybe he can't be liked for himself but surely he can be appreciated for his intelligence and diligence) and the emotional repression are all mixing in his head.

Eventually it reaches a breaking point. I'm not even sure who I want to initiate tbh. Maybe Elias wants to see what happens if he pushes Jon, maybe Jon impulsively makes a move.... yeah ok it's probably Elias who starts things tbh. I think he would also enjoy the drama of a secret relationship (especially the shame and the fear of discovery... it would be a nice snack). Besides he gets to rotate Jon and put him in mundane situations and examine his future archivist from every angle and keep him both close to Elias and from forming connections with others.

They never officially date properly and also it's messy as hell. Elias likes to push Jon and Jon is prone to freezing him out or trying to avoid him whenever the pressure and secrecy get to be too much. Like one third of their relationship is emotionally charged conversations about work (workaholics lmao) and one third is bickering and the rest is snogging in quiet corners of the institute.

And maybe part of it is that Jon doesn't want to lose the only real connection he has and that's why he holds onto the relationship so hard. And maybe that scares him and they break up a bunch because Jon needs to prove that he doesn't need this and he needs to hide the evidence so nobody can find out that he's having some weird messy love affair with his middle-aged boss. But he can never resist their connection and he can never resist Elias.

Idk this all feels ooc tbh. Anyway have my brainleavings.

Because I'm feeling warm and fuzzy and self-indulgent and also because I spent this morning marinating in headache and daydreaming about it:

#SOOOOO important that whatever nonsense they get up to is ill-defined and often impulsive #and i'm honestly a little enthralled with jon having parental issues and crushing on his older mentor figure who cares for him #but this is Dramaland so they can't have a normal relationship #no no it's gotta be ya novel back-and-forth break-up=make-up-break-up stuff #i LOOOOOVE on-again off-again. i love power dynamics. i love secret affairs. i love relationships described as affairs generally!!#didn't get into elias' headspace because. too tired for that much braining tbh.#anyway literally everyone knows something is up because jon Cannot be subtle #like they don't know what's happening but they do know that jon is weirdly hot and cold on the topic of elias #and they spend so much time together #and jon will complain until the cows come home about elias' management style #but god forbid you ever insinuate that elias might be anything less than a SAINT.#and elias likes to make his favoritism ever so slightly known #jon has the social intelligence of zero (autism) (he just like me fr)#so elias' more subtle gestures go entirely over his head. but everyone else is picking up Hints. and they Suspect.#and jon knows that they know but he doesn't know how and it's soso stressful #and he deals with this stress by arguing with elias. and making out with elias. and breaking up with elias.#also if you are wondering yes there are a billion additional potential Drama Seasoning Packets #(and if you are curious consider this permission to ask about any or all of them)#including:#jon cheats on someone (martin) with elias.#unplanned pregnancy (sorry. it will happen again)#torrid affair with peter in s4 #torrid affair with peter while broken up with elias #(i actually have a Whole Post somewhere about jonpeterelias having So Much Fucking Drama somewhere)#unplanned pregnancy (jonelias hooked up right before the unknowing edition)#jon cheating on martin and that's how elias bullies martin in the s3 finale (hey you'll never guess the additional optional plotline here)#jongertrude vs jonelias: old people playing tug of war with jon's destiny #jonelias marriage (legal documents will fix this messy unacknowledged affair)#seriously guys i have. i have so many.#jonelias
