once again there’s a spider statement immediately followed by a leitner statement (mag 16 - “arachnophobia” -> mag 17 “the boneturner’s tale”). elias probably considers this enrichment. the archivist is getting a little too comfortable in his fake skepticism, time to remind him of his childhood trauma. he was scheduling those weekly reminders the way he did his budgeting.

my problem with getting a grip on elias’s characterization is that I always forget the fact that he’s sillay. like sure he’s evil and sadistic and manipulative and britain’s next top victim blamer but also he says things like “yes, if you die, I’m afraid you probably won’t be able to claim your expenses.” he gets punched in the stomach while being arrested and doubles over in pain and wheezes “ah. I see :)”

I think he decided to make Those death sounds on purpose
