I can't help it, the way Leitner says "I was almost beaten to death by an angry goth" is just the funniest thing to me.

[freesiamoonbeam]

Fucking hilarious that all the Entities teamed up to beat up a book collector

Beginning of the episode: Oh no, Jurgen Leitner!
Middle of the episode: He's actually not so bad.
End of the episode: Oh no, Jurgen Leitner!

Come on lads, just because the dead body is in your shady stalker boss's office it doesn't *necessarily* mean he killed the guy, cut him some slack

so i say "can i quit my job now?" and my boss says "NO. in fact, i'm gonna frame you for MURDER" "why are you doing this?" "because we're the magnus institute and ~life is a fucking nightmare~"

[Kassabonn]

Me: "who is this odd old man?"
Jon: "statement of Jurgen Leitner"
Me: "EXCUSE ME?!"

[sevendeadlysins]

I love the fact that Juergen and Gertrude are voiced by John’s parents

[XJiang-uncd]

“It would explain Michael’s identity issues”
I laughed so hard, glad to see that your sass is still alive and well, Jon

Jurgen Lietner - Statement regarding his life as a material girl in a material world.

[rowansnow]

I love how Tim's reaction to a bloody corpse is "I told you so!"

[aw]

"we dont have time for you to have a breakdown, archivist"

[swiftfeathers]

God I had the most horrible dread that Elias was going to kill him and then he did. Being a silent observer in that moment was awful. Hearing the tone in Elias' voice and KNOWING something horrible was coming, and then hearing him beat the poor man to death. Jesus Christ.

[proinsiascassidy]

I have the most dreadful feeling about what might happen Tim and Martin, considering all the foreshadowing, and Jon slowly falling into despair. I love every single one of them so much by now, it'd absolutely break my heart if any harm befell them... On the bright side, here's to Gerard being the feral goth we've come to know and love.

The contrast between JL's attitude towards his assistants and Jon's is so interesting. Jon may not like all his assistants, but he went out of his way to protect them from the potential fallout and doesn't want them to get hurt. Leitner sacrifices his assistants to figure out what's in evil books
