WHY THE FRICK CAN I NEVER FIND THAT ONE POST THAT'S A GIANT TRAUMA BREAKDOWN OF JON'S EXPERIENCES IN SEASON 3 ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRANGER KIDNAPPING I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE SEASON 4 SEQUEL BUT I CAN NEVER FREAKING FIND THE ORIGINAL WHY THE HECK
So I’ve been on my re listen of the magnus archives
And something that I’m thinking about allot is the “I see you” line, the way it’s used as an anchor. You have the obvious and wel known season 4 lonely “I see you, Jon” but I want to talk about the one in season 3
Because I lost my absolute marbles hearing that line in the season 3 finale. It is Jon suddenly being able to anchor himself and recognising the situation around him, seeing through the stranger.
But the most import part, is how it relates to Tim. Tim has previously stated that he can only be sure Jon is real. He doesn’t trust anyone because anyone could be a stranger, but Jon, Jon is real to him, he knows Jon can’t just be magically replaced.. that’s Tim’s anchor, Jon.
This is THEIR “I see you” moment.
Jon helps Tim Anchor himself which makes him able to recognise the situation and save everyone.
The phrase “I see you” is used in every season finale now expect season 5 (I think?). I don’t know if I’ve fully figured out what that narrative through line means (especially in the case of Sasha) but god is it intresting. Especially cus it’s every member of the original crew that gets the line in some way
If I had a nickel for every time a mortal was in love with an Eldritch god named Jo(h)n in podcast, I’d have two nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Decided to post this on tumblr as well🙏 I usually never make reels, because insta reels suck, so I used a different programm, hope you don't mind the font
A long time ago when I was first getting into tma I did an au where it's set in the Wild West, so I thought I'd make a return to it since it's such a fun idea! So here's Michael and Helen for it, I'm hoping to make more drawings of other characters later
