yes, and the roadtrips in the magnus archives always go so well! (laughing...) i am totally okay with it, though i will have to do some quick brushing up on season 5 stuff, as i'm not quite there in my current re-listen. i also think it'll be pretty interesting having a lot of free rein wrt john's status and "patron," given the answer the mods gave on the faq for avatars (as im not quite willing to give that aspect of his character up just yet, as the eldritch push-and-pull is so fun to write)

(': perhaps it was too optimistic to think they'd find something like that on the other side of their canon, but it is what it is... i am also realizing now that im going to have to kick my own ass to draw more icons, god forbid he actually smile (this is far more likely now that martin is around... it did NOT happen much if at all the last time i played him LOL)
