"Yes, Martin, you're my reason" "Just wanted to make you say it"

Though she is technically an Avatar of the Eye (per her job contract and her supernatural abilities), she is fundamentally a "pandeific" being.

We get reminded over and over and over how aligned she is with other entities.

The Web:

Annabelle Cane in MAG147, "The Weaver"

Gertrude Robinson, described by Michael in MAG101, "Another Twist"

Gertrude Robinson, talking to Arthur Nolan in MAG145, "Infectious Doubts"

Let's continue with those two episodes--she's Desolation and Spiral as well as Web

MAG145:

(not to mention that she survived binding herself to Agnes, and during that ritual her "lungs try to burn [her] alive from the inside out," and that she just overall has quite an affinity for fire and explosions)

MAG101

Eric Delano confirms her willingness to lie as well in MAG154

The Dark

The common symbol of The Dark (or at least Maxwell Raynor's cult) is a closed eye; in hiding from Elias, she too takes on that aspect of the Dark

MAG054, "Still Life"

The Lonely

This one, Jon says outright in MAG167, "Curiosity"

The Corruption

And I think that leads to her affinity with the more "metaphysical" aspects of the Corruption. This one doesn't have as obvious evidence, but understanding that the Corruption covers toxic relationships (MAG160.02), relationships where one being is used up by another, then what else characterizes even her most positive and genuine relationship?

(MAG111 "Family Business" and MAG137 "Nemesis")

occasionally people made (make? ive blocked most people who were hardcore about it so idk if they're still on it) posts arguing that Martin is a terrible boyfriend and person and Jon deserves better, and they always cite this part:

to say 'wow, how can Martin say that when he himself isn't very open either, the hypocrite!'

but if we remove the poorly edited out text, and look at the quote in its actual context...

Martin didn't just decide, 'hey, lets chide Jon on his emotional openness today'. Jon literally just read Martin's mind to know what he was thinking about - it's not dwelled on for too long, but imagine for a moment how fucking invasive that really is. compared to that, yeah, Jon doesn't share as much!

MAG167: Curiosity

Martin: Really, why don't you think Gertrude wouldn't be doing well right now?

Jon: *loading*
