im sorry nothing is better than jon insisting hes not adorable last episode then talking about how he likes marry-go-rounds this episode.
Yes perfect
"I was in a weird place."
Add in martin's sassiness going up after the end of the world and you got something we can't help but enjoy
Yeeees.
@@toastghost9145a strange place certainly
I like how Martin doesn’t react to Jon’s most powerful ability thus far with horror, but with “that’s fucking sick dude” energy
Thats my reaction too
I'm sorry but jon saying "Ceaseless watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing" was sexy as hell and I will stand by that for the rest of my days
LMAO RQ LIKING UR COMMENT
@@jonahyogman6282 I JUST SAW THAT THEY DID WHAT THE FUCK
LMAO THE FACT THAT THEY LIKED THIS COMMENT I CANTTTT
Its so badass
RQ hearting this means they agree and endorse hot monster Jon
No I will not be taking criticism on my 100% factual take, good day to you all
I love how Martin's immediate reaction to seeing Jon smite not-Sasha is "is the merry-go-round safe to go on now??"
@Lucinda Gomez we all do
@Lucinda Gomez I definitely do
@@tyhbyfjnOng Jon deserves some fun
I'm fucking losing it
Jon, basically: eye daddy, could u kill this bug for me?
The Beholding, proud of their kid: anything for u, bby.
As Melanie said later "Snoop God's Favorite Kid"
the ceasless watcher's special little boy
I mean John is the MVP the the Dread powers, him and Magnus, those two actually helped them the most
The Beholding loves his kid
Jon can have a little bit of smiting, as a treat.
All these people being like "Man, all the other avatars have cool powers and all John can only just 'look at people' and 'know things.'"
How's that going for you?
I love how this season cast the 14 powers in a different light so far. There was the xenophobia angle with the Corruption that worked surprisingly well and now this new side of the Eye; for empathy is also a form of knowledge, and can be terrifying in itself. I love the idea that confronting a being so intrinsically tied with some type of fear with the perspective of someone who suffers the most from that same fear litteraly anihilates them, it makes a lot of sense !
@@effeilensucre heck, are you in for a ride
Heck anyone who said "the eye isn't that scary" clearly never had their privacy violated or faced the pressure of constant judgement
Technically whatever he did in this episode wasn’t his power, it seems like he was just calling on the power of The Eye, like a conduit of sorts.
@@jormungandrworldserpent6437 Yes that's how all the avatars do it.
How to throw Jon in rage mode: Mention Sasha, threaten Martin. You knew better Not!Sasha.
When it mentioned Sasha I knew it was fucked.
Jon is the epitome of "be careful who you make fun of in middle school". For the first four seasons all the avatars got to dunk on him and now he gets to do the dunking!
That meme IS about people becoming good "looking" after all. *ba dum tish*
@@Gekyouryuu HELP?

@@Gekyouryuu LMAOOO

"That's weird" Martin says in response to a monster saying he doesn't know why he doesn't hate poetry anymore while they walk beside a carousel of swapping identities and torment.
At first I was like "checks out. what's your point?"
Like I was legitimately so confused for a couple of seconds that now it's ultra-hilarious.
Martin sounded wayyyy too excited about Jon murdering someone lol
I mean, it’s the apocalypse. I think Martin’s earned a little murder, as a treat. 😉
>Someone
>Implying
lol
"someone" is a strong term. more like he dismantled a weapon, destroyed a torture chamber, or at least damaged it.
@@TheNitpickChick hello! how are you doing after mag 200! (this is my new favourite pastime now)
@@vanessa2603__ OOF my comment hurts me now! 😫
I didn’t mean it like that, Martin! I DIDN’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!! 😭😭😭
But yeah the finale was absolutely amazing, but it came for my very soul and I’m still not over it. lol 🥲
I was expecting Martin to be unnerved by Jon when he killed the NotThem. But his response of just sheer awe was hilarious.
I mean she was talking some really big shit
What's also funny is that in the transcript it says for Martin,
" _Cross between pride and glee - hurrah!_ "
Its biggest mistake was bragging about killing sasha to the one who rules the fear domain currently
@@someoneawesome8717
It was like "Ooh look at me I can't hurt you because you're touched by other powers and am actively bragging about murdering your friend"
What were they expecting?
such a contrast to how others reacted to Jon's powers in S4. I'm really glad he has Martin by his side now T_T they're just so good for each other
I can't get over the fact, that Jon likes to ride marry-go-rounds and thinks it's thrilling
It went fast okay?!
He likes the speen
@@quantumblur_3145 *Jon goes speeeeeen*
In Basira's words it goes "Woosh"
@@quantumblur_3145 Jon likes the *spleeeeeen*
Sure Martin gets happy over his boyfriend murdering someone everyone thinks its adorable. I fall head over heels for Elias after the brutal pipe murder of Jurgen Leitner and everyone thinks I need therapy.😝
I get you
I’m an Elias fan girl. I get it
Okay but Jon is just a man trying to do his best, and is avenging Sasha. Elias is a rat who hurt Martin and Melanie
@@micahconnor8954 ...he's a well dressed rat
I'm here for it
Jon doing slam poetry with carnival music in the background at the apocalypse is a very specific mood, but a mood none the less
Weirdly enough, hits just right this year. Who would have ever thought.
The slam poetry was my real life "Hello Jon, sorry..." moment.
i love that bit so much
season 1 Jon: idk sounds fake, also Martin ur annoying
season 2 Jon: trust no one! I don't need sleep, I need answers!
season 3 Jon: must! stop! the! apocalypse!
season 4 Jon: everybody hates me, I miss Martin, also it's my fault Tim is dead
season 5 Jon: viva la apocalype, Martin, watch this: *kills Not!Them because she threatened Martin*
Season 5 Johm: Ceaseless Watcher lay your gaze upon this thing I dont like
i feel like that was less about threatening martin and more about sasha everytime someone talked shit about sasha it did not end well for them
@@catdn7011That's what I thought too
@@catdn7011 i think it's both. but not!them gloating about killing sasha was the last drop
I really love how the music goes wonky as soon as Not!Sasha realises its mistake. It's such a great way to convey its enormous sense of "UH-OH".
Martin is LIVING for all of Jon’s new archivist powers lmao
Ikr?! Finally somebody appreciates the fine things in life!
The girl squad can go eff themselves with their toxic "eH, mUrdeRInG iS bAd" attitude.
i mean i think we all are
Unlike Not!Shasha
hey jon, any particular reason you mellowed on your opinions about poetry? any particular person responsible for the change in heart?? anyway hell yeah fat martin rights, also love to see a cruel abomination get smote.
This comment went in so many different directions
Martin, after Jon _literally killes something_ in front of him: So,,, you think the merry-go-round is safe now?
i mean... mood
I mean, it's pretty obvious he meant for the victims; he just said he hates merry-go-rounds :P
this show is so well written overall (obviously) but i think this is one of the most impressive examples of the range of jonathan’s writing skills
HONESTLY!!! His writing is SO COOL!!!
@@zoekirk8767 it makes me sad how good it is, I want to act it so badly 😅
Martin wanting to ride the ghostly merry-go-round after watching Jon murder a cryptid with his eye-of-terror powers is a mood and a half
Jon must be great at staring contests
Also I'm gonna show this statement if I'm ever asked to explain why I love the stranger so much
stare too long and you might no longer have the eyes to do it
Doesn't take much to win a contest against a pile of ash, I bet.
I’ve always wondered if you could befriend the beholding by giving it eye drops.
I like to imagine after the change he just doesn't blink. like at all.
My name is Hannah and I was just vibing through this episode so when out of nowhere Jon said, "But I'm still Hannah," I gasped
My name's Anya and that name is *_never_* in shows so that was a freaking trip
Oh my God same I was so spooked (Well technically it's my old name but I still use it)
@@bananaboatcharlie How does it feel to share a name with the universe travelling badass, Ms Villette?
ME TOO HAHA
So far, I haven't heard my name yet.
I was afraid Martin would br shocked after the murder but he was as excited as I was and I love it
Yes Martin is just helpless
-notshasha threatens them
-jon: "no"
-obliterates her with the gaze of the fear god
The Unknowing must seem like an easy summer day compared to this.
I never thought I'd say this but I miss the clowns
@@someoneawesome8717 ikr they seem so chill compared to this hell
You knew Jon gets snappy whenever you mention Sasha, you had it coming a mile away. That was so cool!
the transcript: *has commas for breaths*
former choir boy jonny: nah
edit: also that was dope as fuck! call me a static-soundscaping nerd but i loved that.
as a choir kid, yup lmao
Dudes. This is literally my favourite episode ever. By a long shot. No joke.
- Was it a good poem?
- I don’t know!
You don't know? YOU DON'T KNOW?!
Yes. Yes, it was a good poem, Martin. It was a great fucking poem. And you should absolutely listen to the tape, because otherwise I can't imagine how sad and empty your existance will be.
Holy shit. This was powerful. Like, really powerful. The delivery absolutely sells it. I've been listening to the last act of Gunpowder Tim vs The Moon Kaiser for a week now, non-stop, and I can confirm w/o hesitation that Jonny's poetry reading slash rapping skills are nothing short of divine.
Jon going into a feat of rage and murdering the absolute crap out of Not!Sasha in Sasha's memory is iconic. He is the ultimate soft boi. "Never been adorable"? Bitch please.
Martin's reaction to unholy Cyclops-style lazer-murder that has just transpired: /laughs in amusement as if Jon has just chugged an entire barrel of beer at a fraternity party/ Ho-ho-ho, my boy good man sir, that was really hot, kay, just saying. You wanna talk about it? No? That's cool, that's cool. So you wanna jump on that big ol' wooden horse and ride into the sunset while you play that poetry tape for me and we maybe possibly make out violently?
Honestly, same, Martin. Same.
There should be no rational explanation for why somebody would even understand what you're talking about, yet here we are....
""my boy good man sir" masterpiece
This comment makes me feel extremely validated for adoring this episode so much.
I think this comment validates my decision to not relisten to this podcast on Spotify because look at this *community*.
I hurt smiling so much and giggling like a little girl sitting alone in the kitchen and reading this
Man. Jon's little horror section is so incredibly written!
So uh when is Jon gonna release a rap album
LMAO
Well fyi it isn’t rap but you should check out The Mechanisms
@DoorToRiver I did, and it was amazing! I was obsessed for a hot minute with it 😄 thanks for reminding me
Loved the episode, absolutely adoring the season in general so far with the interactions between Jon and Martin feeling so natural considering the world’s current state. Jon gets a little murder, y’know, as a treat. HOWEVER is anyone going to mention the patron “Is The End Looking For Any Sexy New Avatars” because that’s a mood and a half
I see people talking about martin's "do you think the merry-go-round is safe now?" But no one's talking about "did it stir up any emotions for you?"
"Yeah, nausea!" I was cackling so hard
Everyone seems to be interpreting Martin's last lines as him wanting to go on the merry go round, but I interpreted it as him being worried about the victims?
Now that I think about it: So Nik, who played the Calliope, was part of this horror circus and one day he just left because he felt like it and got himself a nice family and chilled?? And the circus was like "ok whatever" ?????
Or did I miss something
Best i can tell was that the circus didn’t really have an endgame yet at that point. So the individual members had some freedom, hence the couriers breaking off for a while
Jon: uses his terrifying powers to obliterate the monster
Martin: Whoa! Cool!
Funny how Jon's among the only beings who can't get away with saying 'I dont know'
He doesn't know why he's OK with poetry now! I feel like Martin should get some kind of prize for discovering this.
Jon CANNOT say he isn't adorable and then the next episode say he thinks merry go rounds are thrilling
Can you imagine a PvP horror version of tag based on this statement? People play as the Faceless Things, casing down identities as a horde, then whoever gets the final hit gets the identity, maybe a few Perks representing who they used to be, and a few seconds of invincibility before they're the Prey instead.
Ok let me just say, Jon having had ENOUGH and bringing his full, apocalyptic power to bear on this monster that has dogged them for five seasons, and forcing it to experience every demented thing it forced upon sasha and the others.. is the single most satisfying moment of the entire show so far
I had a visCERAL reaction to Jon's 'I'm still Hannah!', good God
finally the line that got me into this podcast lmao
every scene with feral!jon is the best
What was the line what was the line
@@komoriaibo-2086 the ceaseless watcher one :D theres so much fan content for that one line i couldnt resist lmao
i never imagined that "Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing" would be _in the context of Jon trying to murder someone_
@@aubarlowe not trying that would imply it did not work.
ok but that was sick as FUCK bro
the freakin coolness in the line "ceaseless watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing" plus the raw cold *anger* when it mentioned sasha i just-
This poetry is on another plane of existence
I actually hope Elias is satisfied by the outcome because I feel like it would ruin his character if he just said 'fuck go back'
Do you care about spoilers?
Bastard's last words were "I don't want to die" and I was just there like "you pathetic little shit"
@@someoneawesome8717 nooooo. Not my Elias. He went out like a chump fr?
@@Catglittercrafts not even killed by paranormal means. Stabbed to death
martin being a worried boi
this episodely banter between martin and jon is keeping me ALIVE
You know, I don’t remember where, but I’ve seen or heard that line “Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing” before. I’m glad I finally know where it’s from and boy is it a great line in context
god i love the spiral of the poetry
Jon: Pathetic.
Not-Sasha: Not as pathetic as your little friend as I ate her life.
Jon: *Okay. You're dead now.*
I'm loving the "Martin and Jon relationship" sub-plot of this season, so far. :D (what existential terror? Definitely no Not-Sasha to talk about)
Love that i had no context for the "ceaseless watched, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing" until I listened to this show, and just got a burst of mania at finding out that *this* is where the phrase comes from.
even with everything going on now, it feels amazing to get some true retribution for sasha once and for all. funny enough if not!her didn't push it by bringing her up again I think jon would have left her alone. The little "i'm sorry" as she finally realizes how fucked she is is so satisfying
the Not!Them was overconfident to a fault, even before The Change. it was tricked and bound by Dekker because of its bravado (78), and The Change gave it enough free fear that the possibility of defeat within its own domain didn't even occur until that fatal slip of the tongue
My ears hurt, if you are reading this before waching, turn your volume down around 18:20
Your doing the lords work good sir
Thanks
I wish I saw your comment in time
Yeeeeees, Jon protects little bean Martin! ♥
THIS IS WHERE THAT LINE IS FROM??? THE LINE I'VE SEEN ON ALL THE BOOTY SHORTS??? 165 EPISODES IN and i was none the wiser.
Who the hell wrote a slam poetry session for a statement? Was it you sasha?
Not!Sasha
I’m starting to think that Jon is a Paladin just waiting to unleash that divine SMITE.
I mean... if he was serving an evil god, sure. 😄
I cannot believe I am about to be up-to-date with this series!!! It's thrilling and makes me sad to know we near the end.
The key of the carousel music changed from minor to major when Not!Sasha went. What an incredible detail.
martin is just a little bit too excited about not!sasha being smote lmaoo
Sometimes you forget The Eye is also a Dread Power and also terryfying.
That was a fair reminder
Damn ol’ Jonny boy really using his lyric writing skills in this one. I could genuinely see this being turned into a Mechanisms song. 😁
I had forgotten just how fantastic this episode was. I remembered it was great, but it hit even harder this time around. I love it. ❤️
Yea
The end of this one is competing for the "hottest moment in Magnus archives" with Daisy's own encounter with the stranger being the top contender. I wonder why the Stranger makes the characters do the coolest things?
Very pleasing that they brought back the music from the Unknowing
it was fun reading people's comments about how uneasy it is when jon mentions your name since my slavic name is unlikely to be here and i was safe from such an experience
but here we are
I wasn't ready for 'your face is not your face' took me SO off guard
I’m in love with The Stranger’s poem. Played it for the third time now and it still gives me the chills
The episode where Martin watches his boyfriend being an evil elder monster killer and figures out something new about himself
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear."
That’s Shakespeare right? Midsummer nights dream maybe?
I know damn well that Jon doesn’t hate poetry anymore because Martin does it
Hey Alex! Didn´t know you had actual sponsor.
this one and "upon the stair" are hands down my fav episodes
I love how far Marin has come with his fears. Like he's still afraid and voices that but he has so much more courage, especially when it comes to Jon's powers. Working at the Archives through so many trials and tribulations really toughened him up, made him braver.
I like to think he's also putting on a brave face for Jon, because Jon both helps with that fear and needs Martin's support.
yes! i love episodes about the stranger, they're so abstract and horrifyingly fun!! show martin the spooky poetry im sure he'll love it
*Me, worried that Martin is going to react to Jon with horror:*
*Martin:* That was so sick 😍😍😍
Jon and Martin casually talking and walking through a fear apocalypse is like a horror getaway for couples.
Man. Jon is getting good at banishing horrors.
awawaugh roomy Martin TwT ahh, the hugs he must give! lowkey jealous of Jon now
It took an apocalypse for us to get these cute moments between John and Martin
Jon: I SMITE THEE
The Eye: observes popcorn
Martin: :D You're doing great sweetie
Love this podcast
I love how that statement was written!
oh now this episode was viscerally terrifying thanks johnny
Now the only thing I can think about is John riding a merry-go-round and, honestly, I'm not angry about it! And to add extra fun to the picture, he's also wearing a cute carnival hat while doing so
The feeling of finally catching up to present day
This ending had been my absolute favorite moment so far. Fuck yes John!
Yall need to read the fanfic where Martin gets shoved into mister spiders house and some serious stuff goes down
Links or titles?
You can't just say that and not tell us which one it is
Come clean and give us a title!!!
This is probably one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. Jonny is just showing off, at this point, both in how well he can write and how many WORDS HE CAN SPEAK IN ONE FREAKING BREATH--
"without her is the marry go round still..?" W-was he trying to see if they could ride the marry go round for fun??? was that wat he was gonna ask?
Jon: * sigh * *Your face is not your face is not your face-*
Me: Woah
So Jon's into slam poetry now?
I could see Jon's voice actor having great potential for villain roles
When I was thinking "wow, Jon is saved yet again by someone else and lucky timing, I wonder if he'll be able to stand up for himself by the end of the series" during the season 2 ending I could have never expected this
This is genuinely my favorite episode, just for the writing alone. The poem is bananas, the reintroduction of Not Her is horrible, and Martin and Jon are still somehow apocalyptically adorable.
Intresting that her or "its" name was Hannah. Flip it around and it's still spells Hannah. even when everything is turned on its head the name is still easier to remember.
Intresting detail I guess XD
Martin demanding "Well was it a good poem?!" is soul cleansing .
I absolutely LOVE the different formats for the descriptions of the "Places". This has to be my favourite so far though. Love me some slam poetry.
I remember when I first listened to this episode in my car when it was released. I had to pull over and just sit there, slack jawed at the writing of the statement. This one is written fantastically.
rap god Jon
don't get on here rapping.
jon: don't get on here rappin' I'm stackin' it makin' it happen
There's something really cute about Jon and Martin going on a tour of the various entity's terrific worlds
