Sleepy Baby

there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”

These are all so amazing i love them.

the people deserve to know my random tma headcanons

- melanie and jon are the exact same height. it pisses both of them off. 

- daisy is the oldest archival assistant, she doesn’t tell anybody her birthday tho (except basira)

- tim has a nose ring, dont argue he just does 

- tim and sasha pretended to get engaged to get free food from restaurants more than once 

- melanie and jon have the same birthday. it pisses both of them off.

- jon steals everybody’s laundry and has worn at least one item of everybody’s clothes 

- martin’s crush didn’t start until after mag22, jon’s started after martin told him about his cv 

- jon is literally incapable of standing still

- elias made his bet with peter in ep100 

- something in my heart and in my soul is so certain that jon lied about how many statements he took during his intervention 

yeah no i’m completely normal about this ofc i am

I’ve always gone back and forth about whether to picture Martin stabbing Jon in the front or the back because there’s such beautiful symbolic potential for both.

Like on the one had you’ve got the image that they’re cradling the knife between them, both holding it during perhaps the closest thing they’ve had to a true act of free will in a long time. Jon can’t press the knife in, but he can ease the blow for Martin. He can tell him it’s okay, that he forgives him even though there’s nothing to forgive. It’s horrible and painful, but it’s also setting them free. The blood would get on both of them as they held each other, and, at first glance, you wouldn’t be able to tell whose it was.

But then on the other hand you’ve got nothing coming between them, not even this, not even now. It’s Jon being killed by the same person in whose arms he’s currently finding comfort—and those two things are not at odds. It’s the potential that, if the knife is long enough, Martin could cut himself as well, but that doesn’t matter because his heart already broke with Jon’s anyway. It’s two people who have always found it so hard to trust taking the ultimate symbol of betrayal and turning it into a symbol of loyalty.

And I don’t know which I love more.

Being called a babygirl is the highest compliment a fictional man can receive.

calling a fictional man a girl is a compliment btw. a sign of respect.
