Jonah Magnus and Peter Lukas are kayaking unhappily together and honestly I couldn’t be more happy for them

In a way, maybe the real podcast distributed by rusty quill and liscened under a creative commons attribution non commercial sharealike 4.0 international liscence was the friends we made along the way <3

i don’t think we’re going to be able to [fabric rustles] our way out of this one, folks

at least if things go wrong by mag200 martin will get to show tim his sick rowing skills when they go kayaking together!!!

jonny sims in mag200, probably: you know what? fuck you. *unjons your martin*

this took a turn

My dumb english major brain keeps insisting that there’s Meaningful Symbolism to the fact that Martin, in choosing to sit on the disgusting couch, is choosing to comfort himself by clinging to a relic from the old world (I’ve been walking so I should be tired, the way to solve that problem should be to sit on a couch, because that’s what couches should be for) despite the fact that it’s disgusting and uncomfortable  And Jon, who continues to refuse/be unable to disengage from the world as it is, refuses his invitation to join him in this act of comfort/denial even though it puts physical space between them, because he is prioritizing the flaws in what the situation (couch) actually is over what he thinks he should be able to get out of it, and also because it’s super gross. So the interaction becomes a microcosm of their conflict all season: Martin engaging in denial for comfort even if it ultimately makes the situation a little bit worse, and Jon finally setting a boundary by refusing to follow him. Jon said that you can’t trust comfort at the beginning of the season, and he continues to act according to that even as Martin tries to find ways around it–something that might just come to a head when they encounter Daisy and Basira, and Martin attempts to connect to the comfort of a friendship that is no longer safe.  Or, you know. Maybe it’s just a gross couch.
