I think it'd be fun to make a silly little au where Jon can shapeshift into a cat but keeps it a secret specifically bc I can imagine the scene where he breaks down and admits he believes in the supernatural to Martin bc he's like. Of course I believe in the supernatural I AM supernatural and Martin's like wh- and after the reveal there's a mortifying moment where Martin realizes he's been trying to give little treats to his boss for several months

The tags are so good

everyone in s5 talks to jon like he personally intended to end the world when he was just like eating dinner and accidentally set off the nuclear bomb detonator that someone hid under the mashed potatoes. he didnt even know you could do that. Like i know things are tough but give the man a break

jon has the "read a lot as a child" genre of mispronounced vocabulary, martin has the "grew up poor and dropped out of school early" genre of mispronounced vocabulary, sasha has the "dyslexic and refuses to ever be corrected" genre of mispronounced vocabulary, and thus poor timothy stoker never knows what the fuck anyone is saying

Petition to change the Text-to-Speech on tiktok to the voice of Jonathan Sims narrating everything in his ominous statement voice

Like imagine Jon saying "nitrogen monoxide" in his scariest voice in the middle of your sentence when all you were trying to do is write "NO" in capital letters

As much as it isn't fun to hear Jon yelling at Martin, the end part of Mag 56 is so hilarious to me.

Listen, there is NO evidence to support Martin's claim about lying on his CV, and frankly it's kind of a weak cover story. You are required to show proof of your qualifications when you get a new job on the strength of them - not to mention ID - and even though on a relisten we know Martin's telling the truth and that Elias has his own reasons for hiring Martin, Jon doesn't know any of that. There's nothing to back up Martin's story and given how paranoid Jon's been since Prentiss, not to mention the fact that his specific concerns about Martin were that he might be hiding his own cunning behind the image of someone bumbling and soft (Jonathan "right for the wrong reasons" Sims strikes again) it is wild to me that he accepts this so quickly.

It's almost as though he's eager for Martin to be innocent, even though everything he's previously said about him would indicate that he'd rather it was Martin than Tim or Sasha, the assistants he respects professionally and likes on a personal level. It's so easy to picture him just blue-screening while poor Martin sits there expecting to be fired/screamed at again.

Martin: Okay, that's the truth, do your worst. Jon? Jon??

Jon, internally: Martin's innocent Martin lied to Elias but not me Martin didn't kill Gertrude Martin's safe Martin's still my friend Martin doesn't want me dead

Martin: Jon?

Jon, internally: MartinMartinMartinMartin
