I know the Queen in Samite has her whole cult and her big shiny house and probably a lot of internecine Gradludi-specific power schemes going on, but...

I cannot get over how fucking out of pocket the way Elton speaks to Tammy is in that letter where he tells her "there are those who plan and those who labour and your hands seem made for labour".

EXCUSE ME you fucking Disney-expy nepobaby cult member piece of shit?! He's only in the fucking cult because of his mum, how DARE he.

Ugh. Even Sean had to write a letter to get in, Elton's the murder cult equivalent of being born on third base and thinking you're just really really good at baseball.

Gonna be real with you Queen, if that's the kind of behaviour you let go unchecked in your cult then I can't be part of it.

In the first episode of News at Night, the Stump Emma question comes from "WCGlenn" - is that Terry from the Samite BBS?

Or had he already died in the Hilltop Sacrifice by that point?

so the Glassman Institute / Glassman House is definitely Queen of Samite aligned, right?

With it being the palace of light on a hill, surrounded by trees, the name directly referencing Crystalline Mansion and the references to "glory" all over the place

does the first season of WoA explain why Aunt Linda immediately starts screaming upon seeing the carved bit of amber on Emily's bed?

I remember that in S1, Alex says she "came out screaming", and in this episode Alex mentions that it frightened her and conjured up some really unpleasant images in her as a child

(ngl, that description of her as a child picturing a crumpled wooden doll or seeing Emily's face in the stone after she'd been crushed down into it actually made my stomach flip. horrible imagery, fantastic writing and delivery)
