Mag 001 - Tumblr Posts

yall ever think about how Jon becomes both the anglerfish and its victim

In reading the statement he locks himself onto the path to his own destruction but also to becoming the figure in the shadows waiting to ask a question. He will lure you in, unassuming, and then it’s too late. The anglerfish goes after smokers, like Jon, and becoming an avatar functions as an addiction metaphor… what a podcast

idk stupid angler fish meme

“Can I have a cigarette?”

THE THROWBACK TO EPISODE ONE.

SOMEBODY SEDATE ME, I AM UNWELL.

WHY JONNY?! JUST WHY?!

MAG 199 SPOILERS

“Im going for a cigarette.”

Jon, sweetie, did you forget??

Smoking kills.

TMA SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

okay so i have a TMA theory.

i think that Jon’s smoking is a machination of The Web.

we already know that The Web uses addiction as a form of manipulation. and (correct me if i’m wrong) Jon didn’t start smoking again until after his promotion to Head Archivist.

plus, the very first episode was directly involved with cigarettes. “Can I have a cigarette?”

additionally, in MAG 199 (i think), the cigarettes are brought up again AND the reference back to MAG 001 with Georgie asking “Can I have a cigarette?”

and another thing: the lighter. the spiderweb lighter.

we already know that it’s another manipulation of The Web and that Jon forgets he even has it very often, though he subconsciously keeps it on him.

and what does a smoker need? a lighter, of course.

and what results in Leitner being piped to death by Elias? Jon needing a cigarette.

so yeah, Jon’s smoking is probably a direct influence of The Web 🤷‍♀️
