we know Elias' hobbies include such riveting tasks as Scheduling. and. Filing. But I've decided that he is also for SURE a fountain pen/ink/stationary guy also. Like the snobbiest most obnoxious version of that hobbyist someone could possibly be.

#the elias colin robinson connection haunts me. #anyway can envision elias being like. a forum guy. #like the menswear guy on twitter but for stationery or similar.

me: hey so how far does your 'all-seeing' sight extend?

the many eyed creature in my basement: ARE YOU ASKING BECAUSE YOU TRIPPED ON YOUR OWN SHOELACES IN THE FOYER AND FELL ON YOUR FACE?

me: oh... so you saw that... :(

the many eyed creature (trying to be nice): ................ NO.

I was trying to find a specific animatic but uh hey guys why is this the first search result

#why do you think. look within your own heart.

I think Peter should have a glass eye.

Because Elias took the original one. Just the price of doing business. Whether that business is marriage, having any kind of say beyond whatever original agreement was with the family, or just to have the loose ends of whoever doesn't fit in at the Institute.

#just on principle i think that many romantic relationships are improved by someone losing an eye.

Weird thought, what if Jane Prentiss' worms weren't actually worms?

They are described as "around an inch long, with silver segmented bodies and blackened heads" and it was only assumed by the characters that they were worms. But that sounds nothing like how one would commonly describe worms. You might be saying that's because of the horrors it doesn't have to be accurate, but I say that's true but dream logic often has some type of anchor to real world logic.

While that description doesn't fit any worm I know, it does however fit another insect to a t. A wasp larvae. Wasp larvae are often silver/translucent, with segmented bodies and a black tip for a head. And what started Jane's descent into the Corruption? A wasp nest. A wasp nest that sang to her of belonging and want, a song the "worms" continue to sing based on Jane's comments.

Here's my unpopular opinion but I fucking LOVE Mary Keay. I love terrible terrible and utterly unredeemable women. She's nothing short of a venomous, cold hearted bitch and honestly? Slay. Just not me please.

#oh my god. #mary keay

Important part of Jon and Elias's vibe that I feel like gets overlooked a lot is that Jon is equally as much of a pain in the ass to Elias as Elias is to him. The powers that be hand delivered him the perfect guy to craft a linchpin out of for his two century old scheme and it turned out to be the nosiest bastard in all of London who is obsessed with being right. This is Elias we're talking about. We're talking about Mr "Doesn't Like Getting His Hands Dirty" here. Mr Perpetual Middle Management. Mr "Sat On His Ass For 200 Years Waiting For An Opportunity Instead of Getting Out There and Making Something Himself" getting conned into shaping his antichrist out of the guy who's first instinct towards dealing with his problems is to take a literal ax to them. It's like throwing two unsocialized cats in a bathtub together. This is why Elias doesn't believe in fate

#jonelias #oh they are so silly.
