It's like Jon is a little kid who needs to pee in the middle of a roadtrip.

Jon: The next few minutes are going to be very uncomfortable for one of us, and by one of us, I mean you who is about to be held at knife point

[microclown]

Finished 176, and once again I’m in love with the writing on this show.

I love how Martin knows Jon is keeping something from him, and can tell he is feeling apprehensive about whatever he has to do to catch Basira, and when he pushes Jon to open up about it, Jon is actually honest! Sort of…

Because Jon is nervous about betraying someone’s trust, it’s just not Basira.

I love how Martin is just like “If it were me I’d forgive you ☺️”

And Jon’s “Mm” in response like “I suppose we’re about to find out…”

[tumb1rprincess]

Interesting how the Hunt is less about chasing down prey and more like mob mentality. As soon as you hunt down one victim, you find somebody else to chase after. The way Jon described it as "your own pack turning their claws on you" you can see his voice get kind of quiet there. I bet he's thinking back to when he pretty much experienced that in season 4. Everyone at the Institute was like a pack, but they turned on him when they thought he was a monster, an other.

Gotta love how when Jon asks "Do you trust me?" Martin immediately thinks "Oh no, this can't be good." Made me laugh.

Man, I kind of feel bad for Trevor. His life has been hard from the get-go, Julia was like a daughter to him, Daisy killed her, then Basira killed him. That was kind of sad. The way Jon was during that whole situation though, mmm boy, he's not the stuttering, shaking mess he was back in season 3. He's calm and collected, almost cold while talking to Trevor, all the while knowing he just has to keep it up long enough for Basira to kill him. He's gone from a minnow to a shark to the biggest shark in the water.

Looks like the confrontation with Daisy is going to be another time, still worried about how that's going to turn out. And I'm not sure how Basira being with Jon and Martin is going to affect their dynamic. Martin still sees lot of Jon's monster qualities as kind of freaky, but he's a lot more understanding of them than Basira is. What is she going to think of how he's been acting in this new world? Although her potentially being the third wheel to any cute JonMartin moments later could bring some comedy, wouldn't mind seeing that. Guses we'll have to see.

Basira: So what happens if he doesn’t do a statement? Does he get constipated?

Jon: Absolutely no—

Martin: Yeah, basically

mag 173 - I was worried I was going to have to skip this episode, but it was tamer than it could have been

mag 174 - well, this was unsettling,,, until the second half. I was frankly so confused as to what the thing was supposed to be that it became not scary. like, it's a titan made of people?? I guess??

mag 175 - I think I now have a solid list of words I hate hearing Johnny narrate. bulb/bulbus. bulging. lump. sac. why does he say them like that.

mag 176 - OOOH DAISY GOT EM

“Whats the time Mr. Wolf?”

Every time I hear this line it takes me out of the episode 😂

MAG 176 - Blood Ties

Yall don't want to know how long it took me to make this template. You really don't.

[flowersfrombefore]

So we’re all in agreement that Martin said this because of Jon looking into his head in mag 170 right?

[a-mag-a-day]

For the third and final time, SURPRISE TREVOR! Though this time it was, shall we say, an anticipated surprise.

[humanransome-note]

hey jon... jon... i know the world has ended jon but please communicate with your boyfriend... he's going through it bud

[bitter-goodbyes]

BASIRA!!!!!!!

[libraryfag]

I don't know if Trevor was referring to Barisa or Daisy when he talked about the 'bitch' who killed Julia but i bet her death was homoerotic

[microclown]

I also think it’s so interesting how in 172, Trevor says he wants to kill Martin so that Jon can “feel the same loss” Trevor felt when when Julia was killed (Which he at least indirectly blames on Jon).

It mirrors Jon’s sentiment when killing the other Avatars. He hates them for the ways he perceives they’ve hurt him, and wants them to feel the anguish and fear they cause others.

If Trevor had the power to smite the way Jon does, he would arguably be just as justified in smiting Jon, as Jon was in smiting Not!Sasha, Jude, and Jared.

Because Jon is an Avatar who feeds of the fear of others and likes it (even if he is ashamed of that) and from Trevor’s perspective, Jon has wronged him just as if not more deeply than Jude or Jared ever wronged Jon. (Stealing Gerry, sending Daisy after them, ending the world…)

“no! no, jon. you just did a statement. i don’t care if you want another one, we’ve gotta move.”
