@@bassacaglia9434 you don’t go to IKEA to buy socks. I don’t think that they even sell them and if they do then there are still far better places to go for them. Similarly, Jonah isn’t sympathetic and playing to that sympathy and looking for compassion is almost certainly futile

Okay I just noticed a really adorable (?) parallel. Barnabas fell into the Lonely, and begged Jonah for help, and he didn't. Martin fell into the Lonely, and he was too far gone to ask for help, and Jon helped him anyway. I'm sure this has been pointed out before, but I just thought it was fun.
I’ve always found the way TMA uses queer-coding in its storytelling super interesting so I thought I’d add this: Jon and Martin’s queer romance leaves subtext becomes text when Jon saves Martin. Jonah never saves Barnabas, and remains queer-coded but never explicitly confirmed for the rest of the series - his closest associates being literal manifestations of distance and loneliness. This is part of a larger theory I’ve had on the use of queer-coding in the series but just suffice to say I think Jonah’s rejection of Barnabas (a potential anchor to his humanity) is mirrored in a loss of connection to that humanity represented in the coding and subtextualization of his identity.
Alright-how many of Peter and Jonah’s divorces were because of these letters. Obviously at least six, but I’m willing to believe that Lukas found Barnabas’ bones in Jonah’s office and immediately called for another.
I kept my exes bones I feel incredible I'm in this big ass coat Sending Jon out on the road

Jonah Magnus correspondence can be summed up in: Person writing to Jonah: "Help Jonah my friend, something horrible is happening to me!" Jonah: "How fascinating..." Person: "HELP I'M DYING" Jonah: "Oh pity... Well, anyways."
People always call Jonah “gay and homophobic” but I’d like to introduce my more important headcanon: Jonah Magnus - transmasc and sexist. 1. He’d totally be like “I worked tirelessly to become a man, these _women_ have no right to ask for the privileges I labored so very hard for. They should know their place.” 2. The body thing. Like- it fits. It works. Come on.
see i hc og!elias as transmasc and just super stealth to the point jonah popped his own eyes in and went "this man used to have titties" also i think he dyes strands of his hair grey
Dearest Jonah, In our last correspondence to one another, you appended a phrase of great weight and dimension, one that burdens my soul even now. When we last met at the Society Ball, we swapped stories of youths well spent, gallivanting together, hunting the esoteric, and I felt of you a great closeness, a feeling of being seen like none other I have known. As my travels to my home of Bohemia ended, I rushed as to write to you to continue our friendship, at a distance though it was. When you replied with that singular, awful phrase, it shot me through like musketfire. "No homo"? Not even a little?
I legitimately thought Jonah was a woman until halfway through season 4 because of the way everyone addressed him like he was a better waifu than their very wives.
SPOILERS FOR MAG 200 Having Martin read Smirke's letter to Jonah pleading for him to stop before he goes to far is too direct a parallel my heart cannot.
I wouldn't. Given the powers that he had at his disposal if he did take offense, never mind what he let happen to a special someone who didn't piss him off, I'd rather not even be on his radar.
My dearest Jonah, In the letter I received from you two weeks ago I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase. It changed the meaning, did you intend this? One stroke and you’ve consumed my wakened days. It says my dearest, Barnabas. With a comma after dearest. You’ve written my dearest Barnabas. Anyway all this to say…
Oh to be a rich man who writes letters to Jonah Magnus and plead him to save me from The Lonely and become a pile of bones in his office for a few lifetimes over
Okay but WHY did Jonah leave Barnabas "in that place"? He said that it wasnt out of malice nor that he lacked affection. So WHY? For the *aesthetic* ????
@@luciesvobodova1131 yeah but what did he exactly expect The fact that Barnabas would not survive was i think a given Unless he did think there could have been a different outcome?
@@nightybreeze I think it was more of a sacrificial thing. Choosing the eye instead of humanity. It wasn’t out of malice it was because of his affection for him (friend or otherwise) that he did it.

basicly yes, as one of the eye he is a watcher, not one for action, saving him instead of watching as he subcomes to the terror of the lonely would have gone against his vibes
So sincerely a question. I have not finished the series yet but care more about the answer than spoilers. Why do people call Elias homophobic? Is there a specific line or episode that he does or says something?
I think that it’s a mixture of his rancid vibes in canon and various fan works that have made the same joke. Personally, I love it, its a way to describe his personality: a Victorian homophobic capitalist who’s gay and will pettily ruin your day via dress code violation for mismatched socks ... Also Elias hurt martin so he deserves it (that’s not counting the entirety of S5)
@@kaiser2823 thanks for the clarification! Personally, I love him specifically because he is bastard. The cunning sass! The way he looks down on everyone around him! All are great, but being a homophobic person would have soured my appreciation for him. So yeah, thanks again!
@@viperv6768 oh same, I LOVE Elias. And yeah the gay but homophobic thing is mostly a joke. It’s like: he only employs gay people to make them suffer, gay rights? Yes, but only for him. The rest are on their own.
I don't know if this helps, but one of the fund raisers with Ben Meredith (Elias' voice) had him read out: "Gay rights. But only for me," as a joke. This may be where it came from.
"Was on *good terms* with Mordechai Lukas"

Jonah can have a few (or six) gay letters, as a treat
