Was Testing Out A Quick Design For The King In Yellow. For... Silly Comics Reasons...

John like 40% of the time: Death wears a noose shaped crown, we are all just waiting to die on a crimson field where souls are left to perish

John the other 60% of the time: BABYGIRL I AM GONNA NEED YOU TO STOP COMMITTING MURDER

Here's the full King in Yellow sketch page. Shoutout to this guy

Turns out Lost Carcosa had a revolution in the early 20th century, so what you've actually summoned is the Democratically Elected Committee In Yellow

I didn’t know Mx. Wellman could terrify me so much with Shanks’ voice, then make me completely flip on that character. Four seasons in and I’m constantly surprised.

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)
