You know, I don't think we've discussed enough the fact that when all the worms broke through the wall and entered the archives, Jon froze. Sasha was pleading for him in the background to take charge and tell them all what to do, but it was Martin who took the reins and lead them to document storage where they would be safe. Martin is much better at making split-second decisions than Jon is--and while he'd probably argue it was only to protect them, he's better at leading than he gives himself credit for.
I keep seeing stuff about the magnus protocol on my dash (which I am refusing to listen to because the memes have told me that jmart are still alive there and that isn't very narratively satisfying to me, no shade to yall or jonny yall can have fun w/ it) and apparently the antichrist and his plus one are a computer virus or something....so I guess you could say they're....yk.....a trojan........just like.........just like in season 4..........when jon and hello jon apologies for the deception but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to introduce myse
A moment before disaster
NEW HWLLUVA EP
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LIKE LOOK AT THEM
The universal experience of-
"oh god damn it. It was actually a tragedy horror podcast"
Every single person had that moment of looking at the description, then the cover art, and then the 10 episodes left and feeling a sense of absolute dread.
Also, Jon never had plot armor, he had plot knives that just kept stabbing him over and over until the world ended.
I finished it
Thoughts in the tags

I think one of the fundamental horror elements of jon and martin's relationship (that is super underutilized in fanworks imo) is that when they say "where you go, I go," they really mean it. by the time they're striding across that hellscape, and tbh even earlier than that, there is no duplicity or slight or monstrous act either of them could do that the other wouldn't forgive so they could stay together. personal insults, lashing out, working with the enemy, attacking strangers, direct violence, deliberately endangering each other, murder, encouraging murder, total and complete betrayals of trust, they've done it all and reconciled afterwards. sometimes they talk it out and resolve it in a reasonable way, and sometimes they're just like "hmm. fucked up!" or ("hmm. kinda cute when he does it <3") and never mention it again.
it's not just about letting anything slide with each other, either, it's bigger than that. martin will make the decision on a personal level that he could never live with surviving off of innocent people's suffering, but if doing that on a cosmic scale is the way to keep jon with him then he will sacrifice all his principles and do it. jon is hell bent on quarantining the fears by literally murdering the planet as quickly and efficiently as possible, but the second this means martin potentially dying in front of him he changes his mind. when jon says that their love for each other is "the real core of it," he's not just declaring affection after a fight, he is stating the cause for the incomprehensible tragedy that they're about to enact. it's less "the love was there, it didn't change anything" and more "the love was there, it doomed us all." it isn't even a question, they will wrap their soulmate-red binding string around the necks of everyone in the entire cosmos before they sever it.
Podcast so good I finished it and am now having coughing fits
