#jonathan sims apologist

[livingcuttingboard]

no bc anybody who says that jon sims turned out to be like this (an asshole, introvert, stiff, with the need to act unecessarly professional etc. )bc his grandma was overly condesending and/or neglectfull has never met ANYBODY raised by their grandparents. they just... are like this. its hard to adjust and honestly thats why i could never hate jon for his assholery in season 1 bc i know how it feels, being like that. trying to reprogram ur mind to be normal with ur peers, to accept that these people dont expect u to stand straight and speak and so u should stop excepting them to do so too.

like i just know he had to hammer it in his head that "no, my coworkers arent laughing bc of their lack of discepline and respect for me, tim just made a dick joke and i should find it funny aswell". most grandparents raise their grandkids to be neat and better than everyone. and once that child gets the power to actually use all skills their grandparents taght the, academic knowledge and life advice, its obvious they will fight for what they see as hard earned respect. like jonathan sims might have whole had 9 years to adjust to interacting with people without his grandmas infulence but he was never had power the position of the head archivist offered and honestly? with how everybody was treatin him in the later seasons (and he acted like he was used to it) that reach for power in season 1 was a well deserved break from the usual. bc i am sure that younger jon was the weakling,never to be respected or feared. and his grandma,like any grandma, raised him with the promise he would be great one day. and she was right.

like i love my grandma but the constant piting me against other kids assasinted any type of humbleness within me at the ripe age of 8

*guy who had no control over his fate voice* it's all my fault

[ravelqueen]

I love the comments on my jealous!Martin post that are like "mhmm that's a red flag???"

which I mean

yes?

name the Magnus Archive main character that's not a red flag in some way at the end of the show/their life (except maybe OG!Sasha lol), because I really can't think of one, I thought that's why we're all here!!?

[paper-worms]

Desperately need to make some sort of amv/pmv thing of s2 freakathan sims to Stalker’s Tango by Autoheart

Because like this man was having fucking stakeouts at his employee’s houses, with what we now know to be a deeply repressed crush on one of said employees, and a growing desperation to KNOW everything. That man was staring holes into the back of Martin’s head while the poor guy tried to pretend not to notice

[pidgecv]

Free my mans.

[landscaping-your-mind]

Two things can be true at once:

Jon has awful self-esteem and blames himself for things he has little to no control over.

AND

Jon has done some genuinely horrific things and denying and justifying that, while fine, is taking away from the appeal and themes of the show, and Jon’s character.

[jinxpologist]

i think some people forget that jon was in the middle of literal paranoid fucking psychosis in season 2 and like no that doesn’t make it fine and dandy that he literally stalked people but if you were under the influence of an eldritch being a million times more powerful than every human being has ever been collectively and also undergoing stress induced paranoia and also discovering that the most traumatic thing that ever happened to you as a child was connected to a larger network of mind-shattering horrors so much worse than you ever could have imagined on top of having your life threatened multiple times by awful creatures beyond your understanding you’d go a little off the deep end too.

[ziracona]

why are half the meowmeows on the poll just blorbos

[just-an-enby-lemon]

I don't know why but I really wanted a fic or something where Michael didn't interrupted Tim and Martin in their search for Jon in the tunnels at the end of season 2.

I wanted to see the two of them listening to NotSasha words and finding Jon in a corner ready to die having a panic attack and just saying "i'm sorry" over and over. And I do think Leitner would still be the one that saved them in the end and besides extra coments his statement would be the same. I also am sure that it would change the plot, if no other reason because Martin and Tim wouldn't leave the room with Jon and while I'm still very confident "brutal pipe murder" would still somehow happen (Elias totally could take Tim and Martin at that point), I think all the revelations about evil boss Elias would come earlier and plotwise this would change things.

But mostly I want to know if listening to NotSasha use Jonathan's fears againt him, knowing what he was afraid of and seing the whole panic attack scene would somehow change the relationship between the three of them and specially between Jon and Tim or if it wouldn't really be enough.

[nonbinarylocalcryptid]

*MARTIN enters the scene hitting two pans* AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HIS EX

I find it interesting when Georgie says it's bizarre jon thinks everything is his fault "because you weren't able to outsmart the literal embodiment of manipulation and scheming" when jon has been beating himself up for not outsmarting the web his whole life. ever since he was eight in fact

[cult-of-the-eye]

MAG 91 BABEYYYYY

TEAAAA

Omg why does mike crew sound kinda hot tho

I know he's probably just refusing tea cause he doesn't trust Mike crew but I like to think it's also cause it's not made by Martin lol

He's stressed cause the last time he fucking talked to an avatar he got his hand burned off and he's not expecting Mike to be so...normal

Bro didn't think he'd get this far he didn't prepare his questions dumbass

Oh my god the AIR fuck

And I was trying to be polite OH HE'S SO COOL ACTUALLY

Why do I kind of love seeing Jon being battered around like this

Hmm I would've thought the vast was the idea of not knowing, not knowing exactly how deep something will go, not knowing your place in the world

You need to learn some respect???? Oh my god

"Fed that which feeds me" that's such a good way of putting it

"I'm not usually the sort for speeches" god he seems so human oh my god the guy just wants be left alone while throwing people off skyscrapers

BRO STILL DOESNT LISTEN. LEAVE.

I didn't get the mike crew stans before but now I absolutely do I would let that man throw me off a skyscraper

DAISYYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHHHH

My favourite corrupt detective 😘

The way she goes from "he" to "it"

Oh my god did she shoot him???

THE CIGARETTES...THE LIGHTERRRRR

The way he's more stressed about the fact that the tape recorder appeared than literally daisy tonner

THE CHOKING NOISES

BASIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

God they're such lesbians

The way daisy is trying to convince basira that she only kills monsters, she's still sort of justified, maybe even good

Oh my god daisy hates being manipulated, she's always in control and someone has reached into her mind to make her do something and she hates it

She's also so smart she'd put it together way before everyone else did and she decided to do something about it, maybe in like a really bad way but at least shes trying

Call me number one daisy tonner apologist with these comments lol

"for god's sake look at him!" That's so funny girl was really like you think Jonathan Sims resident whimpering wet cat of man could murder two people???????

Oh my god they're literally using him as a fucking lie detector

AND JON GOES ALONG

I guess it's cause he also really wants to prove his innocence and find out if it really was Elias

Bro has no survival instincts he just does not give a shit

GRAB A SPADE she's so nonchalant about it

NOOOO MIKE

NO I GET TO KNOW HIM AND NOW HE'S DEAD

NOOOOOOOO

God fucking cliffhanger man

[swordfright]

i need y'all to understand i am rapidly becoming a jon sims apologist in the way i was NEVER able to fully commit to cdream apologism. my babygirl cdream made some poor choices at various moments but my ass is close to the end of this podcast and brother, i don't think my man jonathan has done a single thing wrong in his goddamn life

[jsimsarchivist]

Hello. My name is Jonathan Sims, I work as the Head Archivist at the Magnus Institute in London. I used to have a Tumblr account back in uni, so let’s hope I haven’t forgotten the interface.

Spider apologists DNI.

[profile art by camille.leto on instagram. ooc & such below:]

hello! my name is crowns (she/her), @crownsspades is my main. i’ll be signing off any out of character posts with -👑♠️

the jon of this blog doesn’t have a specific season in mind, at least as of now, though i’ll generally default to s3. i might sort posts that fit the context of a specific season

ask what you will- though i must ask for nothing nsfw. i am a jonmartin shipper, so i might not rp other ships since i won’t get the dynamic. possibly.

all in character -> #tma rp

out of character -> #crowns

asks -> #asks

conversations -> #chat

og posts -> #voice of the archives

may or may not tag content warnings, i’m not good at it, so expect mentions of canon/canon-typical events

[scarlettxxtt]

This is exactly why i am a jon apologist

Look I am like Georgie in episode 99, screaming at Jon to talk to people, to not cut himself off, to share his troubles, to stay

But honestly? I suddenly began thinking from Jon's point of view. His assistant and friend died on his watch, he found out there is a ritual that is supposed to end the world, he is trying to figure out how to prevent it.

At the same time he's been framed for murder, hunted by multiple parties, burned, dropped at terminal velocity, taken into the woods to be executed, find out he's trapped in his job and trapped others along with him, find out he's slowly turning inhuman and possibly dangerous and constantly around a person who he knows is out to hunt him and will kill him when she gets the chance.

Meanwhile he sees everyone else he cares about are fine while away from him. Disgruntled, depressed, angry. But fine. And he puts two and two together and decides it's because he's away from them and doing it all on his own. And then he also hears that his ex also had a supernatural encounter in her past and feels it's related to all of it. Then the danger reaches her doorstep and proceeds to blow out her lights.

Not saying he made the right choices but I can definitely understand this point of view. Only he's hurt. Everyone else is fine, not great but fine. And that's a price he's willing to pay.

[yurufuwajukaiboy]

not to go full jonathan “the archivist” sims apologist but. isn’t it kind of fucked how the assistants constantly gang up on john for being angry when pretty much nobody listens to john’s feelings or thoughts unless he gets angry?

[c-r-saint]

I apologize ahead of time but if you identify as a cis-female person and your absolute favorite character from the Magnus Archives, like top of the list no argument no negotiation favorite character, is Jonathan Sims, Archivist,.........
