Reasons why Jon Archivist is truly a character of all time:
Had the police called on him several times when he was a young child
Keeps his rib and the ashes of the season one antagonist next to his stationary drawer
Promised he wouldn’t get lost in tunnels and then immediately got lost in aforementioned tunnels
Has no clue what a joke is
Learned how remarkably easy it is to buy an ax in central London
Had to have two separate interventions
Told people his place of employment before traumatising them for life
The first character he ever said ‘I love you’ to is a cat
Allegedly participated in amdram
Watches documentaries and collects some kind of weird shit (my headcanon is Soviet Union postcards) when he’s not being a paranoid mess
Canonically looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks
Knows nothing about library science
Fell head over heels for a man that he hated until he learned he lied on his resumé
Has been referred to as Jesus or Jesus-adjacent at least twice
Asexual icon
Knows what a meme is and said “LOL” in the first episode
Rode on a merry-go-round sometime during his university days because he was in a weird place emotionally
Died for our Jonathan Sins
Is probably a computer now playing minesweeper with his boyfriend and evil 200+ year old boss

Doodle of Jonathan Sims through Season 1-5!
Not the final version I think. But wanted to draw him throughout the season. Had a BLAST and EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE while listening. BUT I'M FINE.
Anyway, here's a wet cat of a man.

Dick: Well if you’re both staying, remember the rules. Damian, no playing ball in the apartment, no fighting, and no answering the phone with "City Morgue."
Jon: Mr. Nightwing, can’t I have some rules?
Dick: No chewing tobacco.

the way in which jon and robb's futures are foreshadowed by the mother of the other: robb dying too young and becoming a ghost that haunts their siblings, a reminder of innocence and happier days, and jon dying and being brought back to life, a shadow of what he once was, a dark mirror to himself

Season two of TMA is ridiculous. It's basically just:
Found Martin's notebook. He's written "Mr. Martin Sims" several times on every page. Clearly he's planning to kill me and take my identity

we all describe Jon Jarchivist Sims as a wet cat and I bet he stretches like one too. like that man probably sits at his desk for 8 hours a day at a minimum. it probably takes everything inside Martin not to go "aww big stretch" whenever he sees him do it
