rynlingOkay, but to return to the "creepy."
Practically the only things I've done this week are to be depressed and read about Disneyland. The act of reading about theme park fandom has made me even more depressed because, even though it's interesting to me, I feel like I've wasted my time on something that has no real applicable value to my work.
But what if I wrote a fake episode of The Magnus Archives?
Jon takes a statement about Disneyland that's creepy but not supernatural, and then he talks it over with Martin afterward, and then Elias - old and powerful, everpresent and omniscient - comes in and is like, "Are we talking about Disneyland????"
I think one of the reasons I like Jon so much is that it's clear he didn't have an even remotely normal childhood, which is reflected in his inability to emotionally process relationships and common life experiences. I want to say that Jon, who wasn't exposed to Disney as a kid, would probably have the same reaction to it that I do, namely, sincere confusion regarding why it seems to be such a major milestone in everyone's life.
