The division between the two families [the Woodvilles and the Nevilles] and their allies can be seen in the royal charters that they witnessed. Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville of York, while serving as chancellor and afterwards, were fairly constant witnesses to royal charters and consequently often appeared together. This was not, however, the case for other family members and friends. From 1466 to 1469, if Scales or Woodville associates like Sir John Fogge, John Lord Audley or Humphrey Lord Stafford of Southwick witnessed royal charters, then members of the Neville group, such as John Neville, earl of Northumberland, or John Lord Wenlock would not, and vice versa. Discounting the ubiquitous Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville, of the twenty-four charters issued between February 1466 and June 1469, twelve were witnessed by men associated with the Woodvilles, eight by men associated with the Nevilles and two were witnessed by no member of either group beyond the two earls at their heads and the archbishop; only two charters, both from 1466, featured associates of both families.
Such striking segregation of witnesses suggests that something more than simple convenience or availability was at play. [...] The evidence of these witness lists does show the extent of the split between the two groups from early in Edward's [first] reign and of the need for political society to work with that cleavage in the heart of the Yorkist regime."
-Theron Westervelt, "Royal charter witness lists and the politics of the reign of Edward IV"
*This is specifically applicable for Edward IV's first reign; in contrast, the charters in his second reign displayed a great deal of aristocratic and domestic unity and cohesion.

"EWWW why would you feel empathy or compassion for the alien bugs that look gross and don't look relatable at all when you can identify with the super-cool military humans"
have you not considered the possibility that feeling compassion for something that looks dramatically different from you, or not having a bias in favor of blatantly evil or fascistic humans just because they're human, is a good thing
or that maybe some people don't particularly want to side with humans just because you assume everyone would automatically side with humans because you think that's supposed to be the team you pick, regardless of what they're actually doing?
It doesn't matter if the bugs look like actual literal giant bugs; if they're objectively sapient and being attacked by humans who won't shut up about PURGE THE XENOS or whatever the hardcore Imperium of Man fanatics are screaming about, they shouldn't NEED to look like me to have my empathy.

okay so to clear everything up toothpaste girl may or may not be focalors. some leaks say that a white haired girl is focalors so it could be her or the horned lady (COULD BE. emphasis). some leaks have stated the former hydro archon was the white haired short lady (could be toothpaste girl) and the current one (focalors) is a tall blonde one (could be the blonde lady). we currently however have no fucking clue ! 👍

one of the fun things happening in the background in wolf au is that the nine collapsed the sun into a black hole in a last ditch attempt to trap wolf and save the rest of the system which DOES work eventually kind of . except then there’s also no fucking sun. so there’s this huge attempt to construct a fleet and evacuate the system happening in the background that’s very fun. which is all a really long way to say i realized earlier that this means that 47 the cosmonaut cassettes is wolf au relevant which is GREAT news for me 😄
