Literally Wake Up Some Nights In A Cold Sweat Thinking About This

The use of both Hosea and Dutch call Arthur their "boy" or "son" is something I've been thinking about a lot recently...

Hosea uses it as a reminder. Arthur is his boy through and through, and there never needs to be any questioning on that fact.

Dutch also uses it as a reminder, but for a different reason. He wants Arthur to remember that *he* was the one who plucked him off the streets and gave him a full belly and a place to call home. It's a reminder to Arthur of where his loyalties should lie.

Not saying that Dutch is entirely evil; in the earlier chapters I can see it being meaningful. But towards the end its clear, Arthur isn't his boy anymore. He is a tool that's starting to rust.

the term daniel uses to refer to himself, "minion," having a different modern & archaic definition reflects their relationship so well

daniel who believes himself to have been nothing but a plaything who followed armand about for a decade and can be discarded easily, vs armand who loves daniel so much he doesn't want to keep living if he dies

I feel like Armand would go crazy for making PowerPoints of his latest obsessions. I bet he’s even made one ranking his favorite household appliances.

I find it funny that no matter who you ship Arthur with, some of the most popular ships are him with a dark haired absolute baddie. I’m a firm believer that Arthur is a sucker for dark haired women and/or men (whatever sexuality you believe he is)

… and an extra plus if they’re either widows, in need of any sort of assistance or/and have no or a strained relationship with their immediate family.
