#it’s in the form of letters to him

I saw a post recently about how people treat Jonah/Elias like he’s way more evil than all the other avatars, and I completely agree that he’s not. He is however, hateable in a way many can relate to hating.
(This ended up way longer than I thought it would, so I’m going to put the rest under the cut)
Pretty sure most people aren’t able to relate to “yeah, this guy ripped my ribs out of my chest” or “that woman engulfed my hand in flames” or even “that’s the clown that murdered my brother.”
They can relate to “ugh, yeah that’s my creepy boss” or “yeah, that person has gaslit me and tried to manipulate me on multiple occasions” or even just “that bastard, he’s always so smug, like he knows something I don’t.”
There is also of course the fact that his evil plan actually worked, so he seems more evil cause he actually succeeded in the whole apocalypse thing. And of course most of his evil actions we see had a very direct impact on the characters we all know and love.
But no, he’s not more evil than most of the other avatars, I think people just forget the other, more mundane, things to hate about other avatars.
Jared was a bully. Mike Crew had no care for the people who died in his search for an escape. Jane was a toxic friend. Jude enjoyed watching people’s lives collapse. These were things about them before they became avatars.
Also, I don’t think people are as sympathetic as they could be to Jonah. (I am NOT excusing his actions, just hear me out.)
I would say one of the most sympathetic avatars (not counting Jon) is Michael, he was sacrificed to The Spiral without ever truly knowing what was happening. (Although, he’s not really Michael Shelly after that, so you could argue Michael Shelly was never an avatar, but that’s a post for another time.)
We get Annabelle Cane’s statement but it’s vague on whether or not it was true. Personally I do think it’s true, it was a statement and I don’t think you can lie during statements, so she also has a sympathetic angle.
Mike Crew got chased by something and was forced to become an avatar just to escape it. Oliver Banks just wanted to sleep. Jane was scared and looking for love. Simon Fairchild, if I remember correctly, just loved the sky. Even Peter Lukas arguably didn’t have a choice in becoming an avatar. (I honestly don’t really remember Jared and Jude’s story and don’t care to check right now)
So many other characters get, at least some, reasons to be sympathetic or understand where they’re coming from, but Jonah doesn’t. All the old statements are of people Jonah is hurting or has stood by as they got hurt. We don’t get a statement really telling us how he became who we see today. (Not counting the fact that we do see how he “became” Elias Bouchard, via eye swap.) The most we get is his statement in ep 160, but even that’s a very brief mention to what drove him to such extremes.
So anyway, now I have some headcanons as to Jonah’s life when he was still Jonah Magnus. As corny and tragic as it sounds, I do think Jonah probably watched his family die, and not all at the same time, I think he would have seen his family die in a lot of various ways.
I think he watched his mother die from childbirth, I think he probably had some siblings that died before they were even a day old, I think what siblings he did have were away when their father died, leaving him alone with his father’s corpse, I think he probably caused the death of some of them and the guilt of that faded away to the back of his mind. And I don’t think it stopped at his family, death seemed to follow him, or at least everyone around him, his friends and colleagues, his family, even just the mere acquaintances he made during his research.
I think as the ones around him died they were all in pain, but he wasn’t, he watched with morbid curiosity as people died, saw the agony they were in and feared it. And so, what was he to do but try to best it, to avoid the suffering that everyone around him seemed to accept as inevitable.

I love that Elizabeth and Darcy are so ready to effectively tell each other they're full of shit. This happens a bunch of times, but I was re-reading their conversation at the Netherfield Ball and they're both kind of refreshingly Done.
[Darcy:] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?” [Elizabeth:] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet, for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as possible.” [Darcy:] “Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?” “Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb.” “This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,” said he.
It's also pretty funny, because I suspect Darcy is thinking of this sort of thing in a later conversation at Rosings:
“You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me. But I will not be alarmed, though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.” “I shall not say that you are mistaken,” he replied, “because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know, that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which, in fact, are not your own.”

STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS INCOMING sooo are you guys ready to talk about how much of an asshole spencer reid is. because i sure am. this kid is a jerk. his most interesting character trait is the edge he has and i hate it when people (including the CM writers) paint him as some innocent angel when he’s very clearly just not. exhibit a. he grew up taking care of his mentally ill mother completely alone. this took away his chance to a happy childhood, shaped him as a person and had painful repercussions on how he views the world, on his interpersonal relationships, and on himself, and those repercussions affect him WAY into adulthood. he shouldn’t have had to do that especially considering his father lived a fucking block away from them. however once he turned eighteen he admitted his mom to a sanitarium and it’s heavily implied that he didn’t visit her for SIX YEARS. and it makes sense because he was finally going somewhere in life after being, for a lack of a better term, stuck with his mom up until he was eighteen. however he also blames himself for leaving her. because he did. he abandoned her to work across the country. and it’s such a complex and difficult choice that is his BIGGEST REGRET. he feels like a SINNER for leaving his mom. THAT'S what he confesses to in front of tobias hankel, not the time he killed a man. the time he left his mom when he was eighteen. the time he couldn’t keep living alone with her and take care of her anymore. and it’s all well and good that he had her institutionalized because he couldn’t have put his life on hold for her forever and she needed professional help but also FUCK he didn’t visit her for SIX YEARS. this kid is a dick lowkey

One of the strangest parts about my FFXIV experience of playing multiple characters is that I tend to get oddly specific quirks of weather for each other them? Like,
Callyn Brightstar: The patron saint of Camp Drybone, because she shows up, and the rain shows up with her (it's specifically Camp Drybone this happens in, too, she encounters rain on a pretty average frequency everywhere else)
Steel Samurai: (secretly Miles Edgeworth) Weather is the normal level of 'can't predict the weather'
Albert Valleyfoot: no special weather, but has an odd tendency so that, whenever he's going through the any sort of main or scenario, significant moments happen at night, he is apparently a night owl
Roman Torchwick: my second character I isekaied to Eorzea, and just... Callyn gets rain in Camp Drybone; Torchwick gets rain everywhere, with shocking frequency, often at night, the only reason he isn't cold and wet in the dark is that there's no temperature measure in this game (turns out his semblance was high chance of getting rained on whenever not in an urban environment all along, no wonder he stuck to the city)
And there's no real overlap between them in regards to getting each others' quirks to the extent they themselves do. I don't know why or how this happens, but it's certainly fun to use for flavouring my mental lore as I play. :)

"What if we call it Akina?"
My parents bought a robotic vacuum cleaner. They're getting on in age, so it's a good addition to the household. It and I met last week, so I asked what its name was. Turned out they'd just named it after our family name. Boring. "It needs a name," I said.
Today my dad says unprompted, "I think we need to give it a different name. Our last name is a bit stupid." My mum says it's fine, but I agree. I'm drawing a blank, though, until my dad suggests the perfect name.
"What if we call it Akina?"
I like to think he's been pondering on this for two weeks.
In the early 2000s, my parents bought a GPS system for the car. I dubbed her 'Akina'. She was named for an AI system in a space ship in the Yoko Tsuno comic album series that I'm still obsessed with twenty years later.
It stuck. When my parents were going anywhere new, we'd say, "Don't forget Akina." "Akina will guide you." "Where is Akina?" I was sad when new cars with built-in GPS systems replaced the old ones. I always kind of felt like she was my baby.
I've missed Akina. I'm glad she's back.

he already has his legal team telling him not to say anything in his letters that prosecution can use against him, i don't think he cares or would care about anybody else telling him what he should write or say or think, he's his own person and he knows it
agree, I doubt he'd listen/care. I was trying to say that it saddens me that he looks forward to his letters so much and now he'll get an influx of people trying to lecture him. I read a few things here and there and I hope it's all bark and no bite tbh.
unfortunately i have to tell you that these people are almost definitely going to send him letters like that, they're not just talking, they'll walk the talk too
