domestic jonmartin would’ve been so good if the scottish safehouse was actually safe

an analysis of how the lyrics,

“Blame it on the black star, blame it on the falling sky.”

from Black Star by Radiohead fits Jonathan Sims PERFECTLY:

First of all, let’s pick apart what “black star” and “falling sky” even mean: a Black Star is often seen as a mysterious and enigmatic symbol; they tend to represent the depth of the universe and in alchemy are considered the ‘Prime Material’, as they are the start of any transformation process. It symbolizes Jon perfectly, at least how others view him. He’s always seen as the outcast, as someone or /something/ hard to understand, as though he reached a complexity even humans couldn’t comprehend. Especially after being the Archivist, his role as the ‘black star’ only solidified, as he WAS the start of the process, the beginning of the end. He was the material needed to transform the world into the fear-apocalyptic future it became.

I don’t think I need to explain the “Blame it on-“ part; the amount of blame being pushed onto Jon for simply being a pawn in the game, everyone around him deflected their own guilt for playing into the narrative by piling it onto him, it's hard not to see.

Here’s where it gets interesting. the second “Blame it on-“ ISNT in the perspective of the others. it’s Jon blaming the Falling sky.

‘The Falling sky’ is less symbolic and more referencing the age-old idiom “The sky is Falling!”, because often it’s referring to panic and hysteria, a sense of paranoia. The line “Blame it on the falling sky.” is referencing Jon in his paranoiac state, implying that he was consistently blaming anyone and anything he could to justify his panic and frenzy.

The lines coming after one another would be as though the situations paralleled one another, senseless blame being thrown around with no justification. Perhaps it would even be Jon facing the hateful blame-throwing and getting flashbacks to his own paranoid blame-throwing.

Arab Jonathan Sims will forever be my favorite jon headcanon out there.

despite popular belief, i think jon would be more of a “baba” person than a “habibi” person and anyone that’s spent a single day with Jonathan sims would hear his routinely exasperated sighs and “ya baba, how many times do i have to tell you-“ “ya baba, slow down-“ “ya baba-“ “ya ba-“
