Jonathan Sims aspires to be an excel spreadsheet person. He's not.

I saw a tiktok about Jon and Theon and it made me remember how fuking insane their dynamic is

They're broken mirrors of each other: both of them just want the starks to see them as family, they want to feel wanted, they envy and hate each other.

Theon is a trueborn son of a great house, an heir even, but at the same time he's treated as a squire and a ward when convenient, (he helps Ned and Robb), he's also seen as a hostage and a threat, never quite trustworthy. He says repeatedly that he never felt wellcome by the Starks and that the only one to have any affection for him was Robb. Theon dreams to be wed to Sansa, not because he loves her, but because them he would be a son for Ned. He envies Jon because even being a bastard he's loved by Ned (ln a way neither Ned or his actual father loved him), his sibilings (all of them) love him, even if Lady Stark doesn't like him, he is family in Theon's eyes.

Jon is a bastard, he's a shame that must remain hidden, it doesn't matter how much Ned or his sibilings love him, he will never be a true Stark in the eyes of westerosi society. He is trusted but his loyality is always at question, Jon is a threat to Robb's claim in many peoples eyes, like he wants his brothers birthright, and the worst of it all is: he does. He desperately wants to be a trueborn son, but he loves Robb deeply, more than he could ever wish to be legitimate. He envies Theon because he is a trueborn son, he is an heir, he will get to have a wife and children of his own, legitimate children that won't be called names.

Truely insane dynamic of hatred and envy that culminates with both of them trying to one up each other on everything.

[ID: two drawings of a roughly-toddler aged Jon Sims and his mother. Both look like heavily weathered polaroids. Both Jon and his mother have medium-brown skin, dark, curly hair, and brown eyes. In the first picture, Jon is in overalls and a jumper, sitting on his mother’s lap and staring offscreen, chewing on the tip of his index finger, as she gazes lovingly down at him. She wears glasses and a blue blouse under a brown waistcoat. The photo is captioned “Jonathan & Ameerah, Oct ‘89”. In the second photo, Jon is wearing a red onesie and his mother’s glasses, grinning cheekily up at her as she laughs, one of her hands clutching both of his. The caption says “thief! Scoundrel!! Fiend!!!” End ID.]

it’s been two years one month two weeks and three days and jon jarchivist is still my sweet precious angel what else is new

[bagofdo-ritos]

an analysis of how the lyrics,

“Blame it on the black star, blame it on the falling sky.”

from Black Star by Radiohead fits Jonathan Sims PERFECTLY:

First of all, let’s pick apart what “black star” and “falling sky” even mean: a Black Star is often seen as a mysterious and enigmatic symbol; they tend to represent the depth of the universe and in alchemy are considered the ‘Prime Material’, as they are the start of any transformation process. It symbolizes Jon perfectly, at least how others view him. He’s always seen as the outcast, as someone or /something/ hard to understand, as though he reached a complexity even humans couldn’t comprehend. Especially after being the Archivist, his role as the ‘black star’ only solidified, as he WAS the start of the process, the beginning of the end. He was the material needed to transform the world into the fear-apocalyptic future it became.

I don’t think I need to explain the “Blame it on-“ part; the amount of blame being pushed onto Jon for simply being a pawn in the game, everyone around him deflected their own guilt for playing into the narrative by piling it onto him, it's hard not to see.

Here’s where it gets interesting. the second “Blame it on-“ ISNT in the perspective of the others. it’s Jon blaming the Falling sky.

‘The Falling sky’ is less symbolic and more referencing the age-old idiom “The sky is Falling!”, because often it’s referring to panic and hysteria, a sense of paranoia. The line “Blame it on the falling sky.” is referencing Jon in his paranoiac state, implying that he was consistently blaming anyone and anything he could to justify his panic and frenzy.

The lines coming after one another would be as though the situations paralleled one another, senseless blame being thrown around with no justification. Perhaps it would even be Jon facing the hateful blame-throwing and getting flashbacks to his own paranoid blame-throwing.

thank u for coming to my TED talk I would love to hear your thoughts and interpretations :3

[jonathan-sins]

As someone who got halfway through Tma without seeing a single piece of fan art, I always imagined Jon as resembling Ballister from the new Nimona movie. Especially the wet round eyes that take up half his face.

Like this man has doe eyes. They’re so big it’s almost uncomfortable, like. They’re too big for his face.

That being said I love short little librarian grandpa Jon with all my heart. But i still think he has massive eyes.

[cult-of-the-eye]

Jonathan Sims was absolutely the kind of kid to just lie about stuff.

[theallegedbird]

thinking about how when it came to things that made him dislike someone jon at multiple points has excused murder but drew the line at being a tory

[VD: The older version of the logo for TMA, with audio from MAG 113:

ARCHIVIST: I mean, it looks like… C4?

MELANIE: Are you just saying that because it’s the only plastic explosive you’ve ever heard of?

ARCHIVIST: Well, I mean, that is to say…

MARTIN: – so many others –

ARCHIVIST: M-Martin! Stop trying to touch the plastic explosive!

MARTIN: Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

MELANIE: Guys…

ARCHIVIST: Just put your hands in your pockets, or… something…

MARTIN: Look, I said, I said I’m sorry…

MELANIE: Guys!

ARCHIVIST & MARTIN: What?

End VD.]

happy valentine's day to jon and martin from specifically mag113: breathing room

REAL SAD ABOUT JON HOURS

had a sad thought. about jon. here is a sad thought about jon.

so there’s this concept called the “hedonic treadmill”, which kind of describes the idea that as people, we more or less return to our personal baseline of happiness once we’ve grown used to a given thing, whether or not it’s a positive change. and it made me think about how the whole point of the archive ritual is that the misery is constant. i doubt it would work if the archivist sorta just accepts their lot as their new normal.

which means that, by design, jon’s experiences needed to be constant, unpredictable, and always, always escalating.

sad abt jon jarchivist for the rest of time.........

[mag200]

hey did you guys know that ummmm…. jon sims? :)

[cult-of-the-eye]

If Jon ever went to therapy and realised that sometimes he needs to cry to move on with his day, he would totally have scheduled cries every other Thursday (it's close to the end of the week so it doesn't cause a wave of crushing hopelessness but also gives him the Friday to repress again). He would cry to "Emotional! These Pets Recognised Their Owners After Years!".
