Hesitating to post mistborn content since it’s part of the Cosmere which has a huge fandom but here is a humble offering 🧍🏼‍♀️

I'm re-listening to TMA and I CANNOT get over the 180 Jon does in "Page Turner." We're four episodes in and the last three have been spent building up Jon as the cliched skeptic who takes a Rational™ approach to his supernatural job, thank you very much. Oh, you encountered a meat puppet trying to lure you into an alleyway? Sure you did, Mr. Drunk As a Skunk. My hometown is housing moaning coffins that dislike being used as coffee tables? Uh huh, says the self-identified drug addict. Oh, the woman who saw the Not!Them didn't have injuries severe enough to induce hallucinations? Alright, fine, but I'm sure there's some explanation for all this. I am Jonathan Stuffy Sims and I will NOT be cowed by a bunch of unverifiable superstitions.

So by now the listener is pretty used to this format. Creepy statement, skeptical Jon, just enough ambiguity to set up the eventual reveal that all this is true. We know how these stories go. Jon will get blindsided by the revelation in like... a season? Maybe two? Poor guy is gonna be so shocked, being a skeptic and all smh 😔

BUT THEN MAG4 slams in with the post-statement to end all post-statements. Jon comes out swinging and just fucking decks the listener with "If I never hear the name Jurgen Leitner again it will be too soon." Oh, you thought the ominous book collector would be news to him, something else to dismiss? SIKE. He already hates Leitner, all his homies hate Leitner, Leitner is an established Supernatural Threat and god dammit, I thought we'd already dealt with this back in 1994. What was Gertrude thinking? We need to stop the spread of evil ozone books immediately. I'm taking this up with Elias, I'm taking it to the TOP, because if we don't keep the clearly undead woman and her heat-averse son from spreading more fucked-up novels around we are all DOOMED. What's that? There was Sanskrit written on her flayed corpse? Oh, of course there was because organizing this archive wasn't ENOUGH of a challenge!!

And then in future statements Jon goes right back to, "The supernatural? I do not see it 😌"

All of which is WAY more fucked up and compelling than the traditional skeptic. Jon is a mess. Truly the most character of all time.

Kelsier invented parkour he told me so himself

never seen a podcast character that can't be described with at least a single will wood song

Girls don’t want boys, girls want white-haired Sankta Alina and book accurate Korol Rezni

So I zoned out listening to I Am in Eskew and when I came back to reality David was sacrificing one of his coworkers to a duffel bag-

When I realized what the little title picture with the cassette tape actually meant all along 😃

Me before listening to TMA: body horror? idk if I’ll be able to handle this, it bothers me in stranger things

Me after TMA: *eating lunch whilst listening to stories of people’s faces being peeled of in I Am in Eskew* hmm interesting

Georgie and Jon’s dynamic is so important bc even though they weren’t compatible romantically they were still platonic besties and supportive of each other’s relationships and Jon went to her when he had nowhere else to go in this essay I will

also the fact that Jonny Sims got his irl wife to voice his character’s ex-girlfriend will never not be funny

Every fandom has a comfort emo and an iconic old hag that is universally despised

Some more humble s2-s3 memes bc I work hard to make this hellsite a home

Let’s be honest it was only a matter of time before I made a brutal pipe murder meme, and I think about Mag 86 every damn night 😃

and I miss Tim every damn day

My personal favorite is “supplemental: I’ve broken into Gertrude’s flat”

Oh also Martin finding the pictures Jon took of Tim’s house 😭

Unhinged Jon will forever be the funniest Jon, man was really out roaming the tunnels and stalking his coworkers like there was no tomorrow

“SHITSHITSHITSHIT” “Martin stay with me” “SHIT SHIT SHIT” *sounds of gunfire and bagpipes*

How to start a discussion within the TMA fandom: ask everyone to remember exactly where they were when they heard Michael Distortion’s loud ass death scream for the first time

He really said you have something I want

Rip king you would have loved the quarantine princess bride home movie

I can no longer go a day without getting hello Jon’d

Trying to picture Jon fucking around in America half crazy and paranoid with approximately .63 hours of sleep has me wheezing

Trying to imagine Basira’s face when she opened his drawer and it’s funnier every time 💀

When the lady came in and Martin was like a complaint? About one of my coworkers? Lemme guess he looks like he got hit by a bus and proceeded to escape from the hospital

Assorted s3 memes ✨

sometimes I think about things that happened to me in the past and be like "oh yeah, this statement definitely won't record in a digital device"

Me when TMA portrays pessimists and people who struggle with emotional unavailability as humans with feelings:

It’s ok Jon I was also a deeply annoying child

I’m sorry but this is the only way I can picture The End

Assorted s1-s2 memes pt. 2

Jon when someone brings him another statement about mummies:

He’s such a hater but I love him sm
