im always surprised how many people think venetia is the younger sibling. i feel like we get so caught up in those scenes defined as shocking and grotesque by media and pop culture at large that we skim over the quiet, lurking horrors of saltburn. poor, poor venetia, who was born first but will never be first, not to the boys, not to her parents, not to oliver, not to anyone. mommy's emotionally battered and neglected firstborn daughter. felix was born when venetia was still a baby, not even two years old, the perfect golden boy, son and heir, sun and air. and he's getting it all, the title, the estate, everything ("I will look after this house just as felix would have"). do you think they ever talked about it? which catton was getting saltburn? i dont. venetia, the butt of every joke. desperate, embarrassing, lighting her body up like a neon sign on an empty highway. if felix is the sun, venetia is the moon, shrouded in darkness when he's not near. venetia, destroying and remaking herself in her mother's eyes. always hungry, a scavenger of love, picking over felix's scraps, sucking up the detritus at the bottom of a dark, lonely ocean.

Will takes Hannibal to Louisiana to have "real" hot wings.
"They used to make these more spicy back in the day" Will says as he is finishing his seventh wing.
"Is that so, darling?" Hannibal murmurs as he is literally shaking and his eyes are watering while he is trying to finish his first wing.
"Average age of Minecraft player is 63" factoid actually just statistical error. The vampire Armand, who is 514, lives in Dubai & spends approx. 7.5 hours a day playing is an outlier adn should not have been counted
