Killing Myself Slowly

Episode 28: Threads

I can’t blame Lady Ethel for enjoying the colors and her look when she has a minute.

Oswald is SO MUCH WORSE.

Terrible as Lady Ethel is, at least when she was young and Botco was starting to get big she realized there was something wrong there (but all that money and power…).

Much as that summer romance could have saved Solomon, I feel like Adam surely could have done better.

At least he knows Adam’s death was his fault. He doesn’t care who he’s killed or hurt though, as long as he can justify it. And he always can.

I can only assume that Solomon forgot he could ask Stitchery Pins to make Percy a new dress. Better that he gave him his own clothes. At least he did one (barely) decent thing for his son.

Irene Mend is not to be trusted. Still better than Solomon, though.

i know she was actually nice to them but this wouldn't leave my head until i made it

Favorite time of year babeee

SO

In episode 62, we learnt that at some point while they were alive, like Annabel has a pet name for Lenore, Lenore had a pet name for Annabel, with Annabel questioning why Lenore still calls her Annabel when Lenore claims she remembers everything.

Now, I’ve seen a lot of different ideas about what it could be; angel, belle, anything flower adjacent, and most popularly, Annie. Interesting thing about the name Annie, Poe actually has a poem named ‘For Annie’. For a summary of the poem: A dying man gives thanks that his "lingering illness," life, is finally over. He talks about how no one should pity him since everyone will lie in the same bed he does. Furthermore, his death is not final. As his lover, Annie, looks on him and cries because she thinks he is dead, he declares that his heart and his thoughts are more alive than ever, for they are filled with the sight of Annie's love. Though dead, he lives on because of her love.

Thanks to the thumbnail of episode 90, it seems like we’re going to get to see or at least get more information on how Annabel died, and if our assumptions are right, how Lenore died as well (fastpassers you better drink your water and mind your business cause if episode 90 ends up being a episode 77 situation when it comes to spoilers, I am coming for your knees). Since we had reference to the poem ‘Lenore’ in episode 66, if Lenore’s pet name for Annabel does end up being Annie, it would definitely be of good use to look for references to ‘For Annie’ in the way Lenore thinks of Annabel, especially if we get a look into Lenore’s thoughts before she died.

I’m going to leave a link to the poem so everyone can go to have a quick read of it. There were quite a few lines that reminded me of different details in the comic (you’ll see what I mean)

Been binging this podcast for two weeks and I’m absolutely sick about it.

ALSO, Lord Arum is everything. Sir Marc is the best knight. Start with the first episode, ‘the head of the Janus beast’ you’ll LOVE IIT

I have a couple Tpp mutuals who have exclusively listened to Junoverse and I get it, but please listen to Second Citadel I am insane about it

so im going to list some propaganda for why you should listen to it along with Juno

Less time between episodes you can listen to

theres 2 weeks in between every episode anyways, you might as well fill the podcast less void with SC

We have…

Himbo knight

poet always in the midst of a mental breakdown

Sir Caroline
