i don’t know how Jon TMA became a character that we project onto, but he did. anyway, season 1 Jon with chronic pain and fatigue who’s overworking himself in an effort to prove that he’s still fit for the archivist position, even with his disability. Jon who keeps painkillers in his desk, where they’re perfectly out of view from anyone who may come in to make a statement or drop off some tea. Jon who struggles to accept help, let alone ask for it, because he’s always had to be self-sufficient and he’ll be damned if he stops doing that now, even though his disability is degenerative and taking a toll on him

#i want to see a fic where Jon wakes up one day unable to get out of bed and i want to see him be loved and cared for and supported anyway #i want him to have a collection of painkillers just as extensive as ours #i want him to self medicate with alcohol just like we do even though he knows it's not a great solution. but sometimes there's too much pain #to make go away so you have to make yourself able to put up with it instead #we push ourselfves really hard sometimes with academia and being on our own now. in a way to prove that even though we're disabled #we can still do it. we can still be on our own and be successful. these days we're bedridden more days a week than we used to be in a month #though jury's out on whether that's because we've rapidly gotten worse or because our situation has rapidly gotten better and we now feel #safe accomodating ourselfves like that. anyway. Jon with chronic pain thank you #TMA #Jon TMA #our posts #disability tag
