what if the lambs had birthday parties. okay i know none of them actually know when they were born but bear with me. mary would act like they're stupid and dumb but secretly kind of enjoys baking cakes for the others with lillian... sy would try and throw a surprise party every single year, and he'd use "but it's my birthday 🥺🥺" CONSTANTLY to get what he wants. ashton and helen would both have a blast

I SHALL SIMPLY HAVE TO SMOKE HIM !!

Finished Twig last night and woke up thinking about King Adam this morning. 

In the final scene with Fray and Hayle, they put a lot of emphasis on Wollstone’s advanced stitched who killed him, obviously discussing Hayle’s eventual fate. The name “Adam” is of course the name of Frankenstein’s creation, who does not kill him but certainly tried to—and perhaps, in the Twig world, succeeded. I wonder if we’re intended to understand that this King is that first stitched—he mentions his “real body” being elsewhere.

That would mean the final scene of Twig is the confrontation between two experiments who rose up and killed their creators, seizing the power that they were never going to be freely granted. But in that process, they’ve become governors of the all-consuming system that’s destroyed their world, and created hundreds if not thousands more experiments who are just like them. 

I thought it was odd in some ways to have the final scene feature a new character, albeit one we’ve frequently heard about, but if this is true we don’t need to learn about Adam—we already know him. He and Sy are exactly the same. Perhaps ultimately, this is why Simon’s argument is persuasive to him. He recognizes the person in front of him.

Maybe it’s the only happy ending these two characters could ever get. If Adam really is that first stitched, was becoming king of a despotic empire really what he wanted when he killed Wollstone? Is Lord Simon really what Sy wanted himself to become? They’ve killed the gods of their world, both metaphorical and literal, and in killing those gods have fully replaced them.
