#seeing fans use elias instead of Jonah that is

[composeregg]

I have a lot of opinions but one of my strongest ones is that I will NEVER call Jonah Magnus Elias, because he stole that name, that body, and it is not his.

Lonelyeyes for 002 and Jon for 003?

I forgot this was in my inbox! Sorry for the delay.

Lonelyeyes

When or if I started shipping it: I was already aware of the ship thanks to memes, and I found the concept hilarious, so pretty much from the beginning.

My thoughts: Apologies for the homestuck, but they're flush/pitch vacillating. Okay, I love that their patrons are such opposites, and I love the new meaning the mortifying ordeal quote takes when it's about them. All Jonahlias ships have a distinct tragic beauty that Loneyeyes certainly possesses; it is the tragedy that comes when you have a character whose ambition and egoism force him to sacrifice everything he once had in pursuit of a selfish goal and may not even realise what he's lost. Whew. On a more... lighthearted note, the divorce jokes are fucking hilarious; they absolutely do exude divorcee energy, and it's great.

What makes me happy about them: The idea of them getting brunch with Simon and being funky and evil.

What makes me sad about them: I was going to say more about the inherent tragedy of being Jonah Magnus, but then I remembered that Peter died due to Elias's plans, so that.

Elias: Oh, no, my selfishness and hubris mean that I will never again have meaningful connections with others; I am so miserable.

Peter, who literally just died: I'm begging you to think for two seconds and realise which one of us is having the worse day.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Hmm, I'm not a fan of Mordechai!Peter, especially since it was jossed.

Things I look for in a fanfic: Good characterisation (I'm quite picky about that) and either humour, angst, or both.

My kinks: I have read only a handful of E-rated Lonelyeyes fics, so a larger sample size is needed. 😔

Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Both Jonelias and Jonpeter are very good.

My happily ever after for them: Oh boy, I don't think they can have a happily ever after if that makes sense. Both the divorce jokes and more serious explorations of their relationship reflect a kind of instability in their dynamic that I find fascinating and inextricable from the ship. I believe they can be happy together, but not ever after.

Jon

How I feel about this character: Jon! My boy! The only alive main character I care about besides the obvious one! I love him; I love to project onto him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Ohh, man. In no particular order: Elias, Peter, Michael, Gerry, Sasha, Georgie, Melanie, Tim, and Oliver. I do think some of these work better as friendships, but I have some level of investment in all of these characters as romantic partners for him.

My non-romantic OTP for them: Jon and the Admiral :pleading:

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't think this one is that unpopular, but it's the closest thing to an unpopular Jon opinion I have: he should go apeshit on everyone who blamed and condemned him during season four, and also on Martin for being insensitive during act two of season five.

One thing I wished happened/had happened with this character in canon: I wish they hadn't gone for canon requited J*nmartin. I believe they work better as friends, and it rubs me the wrong way that it seemed like they were setting it up for Jon to love Martin as a projection of his humanity and as his last original assistant instead of as a partner, only for this angle to never be addressed. Disclaimer: I'm not saying it's wrong to enjoy their relationship; those are just my thoughts. I would have liked to see, at least, some sort of coworkers to lovers to friends arc (because yes, I think they skipped over the "friends" stage and went straight from coworkers to lovers). Actually, this is my unpopular Jon opinion.

My OTP: Hng. Jonelias.

My OT3: Jontimsasha <3
