a nuance that gets a bit lost in martin 'murder' blackwood is that while he's definitely not against a good killing, it's more of a fun couple's activity rather than true heartfelt passion, you know?

i mean, twice he's had the opportunity to have Jonah get shanked, and he foils them, even though he wants the guy dead. Like, murder is always an option, but he usually tries other, less direct methods first - in fact id say that his trying to be clever and moral still leading up to the end of the world is exactly what drives him to say, ok well fuck it then, let's get our murder on

#tma #tma s5 #martin blackwood #martin #joos yaps #might've made a post like this before. fuck it #referring to 1) melanie making it quite clear she wants to kill elias for the s3 finale #vs martins plan #and 2) s4 finale of course #EDIT: some good points in the tags too about his most infamous Murder Moments being cheering Jon on #instead of doing it himself #when he can convince himself it's not actually his decision #i do wonder often what wouldve been the resulting arc if Martin had the power to end Avatars as easily as Jon in s5 #if he'd been as eager or if the weight of the choice to actively do it would slow him down #if he'd stubbornly gone further with it to ignore that it wasn't changing or helping one iota #or if the guilt (if not for the deaths - for not being able to fix things) would lead to much the same result as it did with Jon
