hm. s3 was chock full of Shit Happening To Jon. he was kidnapped multiple times, held at knifepoint, his hand was severely burned, he got sent to the forever falling dimension, almost got skinned alive, half of the shit that happens to him in s3 all happen within the same week, and it was just generally not a fun time. then the unknowing happens and he literally gets blown up and sent into a coma.
for six months.
sure, a lot of what happens to Jon is partially because he's running headfirst into danger, but a lot of it also just happens to him. people know him as The Archivist, and decide to hurt him. kidnapping, mostly.
but for six months, he is completely unconscious, mostly dead, unable to move, speak, see, hear, or call out for help. he has never been morr vulnerable, more utterly helpless. and the only people that visit him seem to have been Martin, and Oliver.
Oliver, who is an avatar, who knows him as The Archivist, and.... doesn't wish him harm. He was just curious about him, and seemed to have been told to be there, so he went. And in his own way, he even saved him. He even chose to call him by his actual name.
After everything that happened to him, the one inhuman thing to visit him at his most helpless, didn't want to hurt him. He helped. I already understood Jon's thoughts about not smiting Oliver, but this makes it hit harder, I think.
Also do you think martin ever worried about something coming for Jon while he was comatose. Do you think he worried about that.
Jon is quite the soggy wet rag of a man isn't he. Have you ever slapped a wet towel against a countertop? I could do that with Jon. Smack. Is your paranoia cured yet towel boy? Or do you need me to wring you out again?
Season 3 Elias is so goddamn fucking funny to me I forgot what a rollercoaster he was during my first listen.
Like the s2 finale has Jurgen Leitner giving Jon the whole "monsters are real speech" and Jon's like "I need a cigarette. NO ONE get brutal pipe murdered while I'm gone" and Jurgen fails step 1 because Elias walks in and grabs Jon's point-and-click-adventure pipe he'd been carrying around and Brutal Pipe Murders. Which, of course, Jon walks back in on and is prime suspect #1 due to literally every single feature trait and word he's said in the entirety of s2.
So naturally s3 starts with Jon on the lam and Officer Tonner like "I'm gonna arrest him for brutal pipe murder" and I'M like "Shit. I hate this. Elias is going to SO easily pin it on Jon and get away with it."
EXCEPT Elias walks in and is like "hello Ms. Officer no Jon Archivist did not kill that man, also I won't tell you anything else, also this is what you sound like" while reciting all her childhood trauma and all her illegal activity that will get HER sent to jail for brutal murder of the non-pipe variety and now I'm like "....huh." He's also like "Jon didn't do it but you can kill him if you want maybe :)" Elias your alibi????
And then we come BACK with Jon storming Elias's office with his two lesbian bodyguards as back up and he's like "I'm gonna use my powers to make you confess to pipe murder!" At which point Elias is like "It doesn't work on me. But I'm having fun so Martin go get everyone I need to tell you all how I committed pipe murder." and Martin does and Elias is like "Yes I pipe murdered. I also killed Gertrude. I love murder. You will not be compensated extra for this time. Get back to work." And they... DO... just go back to work. Because work is haunted. One of the lesbian police officers works here now, too. This just happened. "Also living dolls from Russia are about to Apocalypse the world, Jon go stop it," Elias says, while also saying "no I'm not gonna tell you how to stop it."
Okay???? Mr. Elias man??? And you're like "maybe he's a ruthless tactician? Maybe he's brutal but it's all in the interest of stopping the doll apocalypse??? He wants to save the earth???" Except THAT'S not even true it's actually more like he's trying to get the Russian dolls kicked out of line at Disney World so HE gets to meet Mickey Mouse first by which I mean, start his OWN Apocalypse, because if the dolls do it first well then what's the point of apocalypsing a planet that's become someone else's sloppy seconds.
Anyway Elias's master strategy here is to bring the human equivalent of a drowned cat to the gun fight and just sit back and watch Jon fall down every set of stairs he finds while Elias goes "This is good. This will work." His name isn't even fucking Elias.
