I'm glad to hear he's an overnight sensation! Will definitely be drawing more of him again soon I love his design

something something mini jon

Thank you! I draw him smiling a lot while, when first conceptualizing him, me and my friend decided he must hate being alive since yk, being someone's literal double is a lot to live up to!

HELLO! 1. JSV isn't my lone creation! Barely even mine. My good friend Everett originally made it in response to an ongoing inside joke that is so complex and odd I don't trust myself to lay it all out here, but he has no REAL set-in-stone lore, more of a concept I got obsessed with drawing I actually feel a little bad for getting so obsessed with this guy who was meant to be a goof lmao Everett herself said I could share her original drawing (left) and a new set made specifically for you guys (right), so here's those!

2. We're both alright with it! I personally would absolutely love to read something like that so be sure to send a link through if you do! In closing, here's a message from Everett itself I've been asked to relay over

I recently became the owner of a Jon. His adjustment to the new house went smoothly, making sure to keep his nest in a quiet, secure place in my library next to some tape recorders as advised. I’ve been noticing some strange behavior, though. He seems to be scared of my door

See, I thought he could be seeing Daisys outside, but I have paper cutout coffins near areas where they could nest to help deter them. It’s just so strange. He’ll come out of his nest for dinner, he’ll catch sight of the door and Bam! Full panic mode. Full threat displays with the eyes and everything

I obviously want to help my little guy, and I hate to see him so scared. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Hey, thank you for reaching out! I'm flattered to be considered a Jon Care expert! I really just came on here to dispell some common myths and to help other Jon carers on their journey, so I'm happy I can be seen as a reliable source of information. After all, caring for a Jon is tricky!

I'm terribly sorry to hear about this. Jons have a habit of having inane and strange stressors, so I can understand how concerned you may be. Daisy-proofing the area was smart, but it seems to me the issue might be doorway itself.

Certain Jons are more prone to this fear than others, and it's a difficult one to deal with because you can't exactly remove all your doors! My friend's Jon once had this issue, and this is what worked for them.

His fear doesn't lie in the actual door, but rather what might be behind it. Jons hate the unknown, especially in this manner. What they did was reassure their Jon what was behind it. Sit him near the door and open and close it a few times. Walk through it while he's looking, and invite him in and out so he knows its safe to use.

Associating the door with positive things like treats and play are also good ideas! Put statements on the other side of the threshold and coax him over. Make sure to be very soft and patient with him, as this tends to be a pretty intense fear.

After a while, he should stop fearing the door and might even scratch at it for more rewards (that happened to my friend's lol) either way, it can be fixed!

Do keep me updated on the training, much love and good luck!

Hi Harrow! Thank you for reaching out

In my experience Jons are very well suited for cats! But as always, make sure to introduce them slowly (letting them sniff each other through a door is always a good start)

If at any point your Jon begins to shiver/sprout eyes/make hissing or whining sounds make sure to remove him from the situation and put him somewhere safe. That means he feels threatened and/or uncomfortable

Introducing a Jon into your home (especially one with pets) can sometimes be tricky. Be sure to be patient and take plenty of time to tend to his needs. Remember, it's up to you to properly care for him and understand him!

Good luck if you decide to get one, and may he have a very happy home!
