remember that time the admiral crawled into Jon's lap, shoved his furry butt in his face, and started purring up a storm because of how much he loved him. and then Jon said "yes, yes, I love you too" and started giving him belly rubs. y'all remember that.
do y'all also remember the horror trope of animals being sensitive to the supernatural and how they would growl/hiss at monsters and inhuman impersonators and whatnot. and how, in a season during which Jon is starting to really struggle with whether he's human or not, the admiral shows him just as much love and demands just as much affection from him as he likely would if jon wasn't getting eye-ified. he's not entirely human anymore but the admiral still demands belly rubs. y'all ever think about that.
Also when he visits Georgie and Melanie and while Georgie is scolding Jon for trying to involve Melanie again, the admiral is heard purring and (how I imagine the scene) jon picks up the admiral who's all over him. And when Georgie takes the admiral back, The Admiral is clearly not happy about it. And at that point, jon really wasnt human anymore, and was fully taken by the eye.
I thought that scene was so bitter-sweet, cause like, Georgie is very mad at Jon, and is basically yelling at him to leave her and Melanie alone, and when the eye tells Jon that both Georgie and Melanie are dating, Jon says "I'm sorry, I-, you didn't tell me you two were dating" only for Georgie to say "Yeah, cause it was none of your business!" Meanwhile, Melanie comes by with the admiral sounding drowsy, and surprised by Jon's arrival, and shes clearly sympathetic for Jon, but knows she cant help him in the way hes expecting. And Jon is being defensive and is so bloody desperate for an ally, as everyone in his life are either distant, passed away, or actively making him starve himself.
But the Admiral doesnt understand what's going on, he just saw that his dad came back for a visit and he misses him. And I'm certain the admiral knows Jon isnt human anymore. I mean, cats senses are very heightened, but at the same time, I dont think he cares, cause he knows his dad, and knows his intentions arent harmful.
But yeah, I do think about this a lot lol.
(I also love how in said scene, Georgie and Melanie's usual personalities are almost swapped, where Georgie is usually the level headed and calm person, while Melanie is a lot more violent and angry, but in this scene, we can tell they're still the same, but they've like, rubbed off on eachother, and I think it gives a really cool dimension to the scene and the characters)
Jonmartin is important cause no their love didn't stop the world from ending and it didn't stop the ending but it existed and it made laughter during the literal apocalypse possible and that matters. Their love exists and that matters, regardless of what it does or doesn't materially change.
