the man’s timing? delivery? sarcasm? impeccable

on jeremy and renee- “they’d get killed. wars profitable, no one wants their world peace nonsense.”

when asked about andrew and neil - “it’s not something to be proud of.”

on neil speaking german - “you’ve managed to completely embarrass yourself in both languages”

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is confused:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

The Jon we know so far is a tired man who is perpetually done with everything (before he slowly descends into paranoia lmao). In the earlier statements, he is detached and skeptical of everything regarding the supernatural. He dismisses everything, and it gives the impression that he simply does not believe in it, and thus doesn't take it seriously. This episode puts into perspective that Jon's problem with the statements was never that he thinks the supernatural doesn’t exist. It's exactly that he knows it does. And it scares him. And maybe, part of what unsettles him about the statements is that he doesn’t know *wink wink* if they're genuine experiences, just like his.

What makes it so precious to me is the introduction to younger Jon. This child, who cannot stay still for the life of him. Alone with a grandmother he is faintly aware dislikes him, even though she attempts to hide it. He can only stay still when he's reading, and he can't stop until he finishes it. He is so curious *wink wink*. He is prideful and arrogant in that annoying way some children are. He knows his grandma gets him whatever books in a specific pay range, and he still feels slighted when he finds children's books amidst them. He is so vivid, so endearing. And the more he recounts, the more you can feel that innocence slip, the more it is scarred. This annoying little nerd witnesses *wink wink* a murder at the mere age of eight. And that makes me so sad for him.
