post-nona the ninth update to this post

i just…. yeah. non-tlt fans seeing this, i promise this chart actually makes sense in context... it’s complicated okay

“That’s where my heart used to be.”

happy valentine's day who wants to throw themselves on a fence spike for me while reciting biblical wedding vows as your last words so i can consume your soul and gain immortality but after confronting god who says he cannot bring you back i become so overtaken with grief that i lobotomize myself to erase my ability to conceive of you in any capacity to prevent my body from absorbing and using you as an eternal battery after which i send myself to a purgatory dream state and you surface in control of my body and defend it from the alien bug soldiers of a murdered ghost planet that are trying to kill me for the sins of the emperor i worship and then i stay sleeping in hell while you end up back in your own body and then my body kisses your body but it's while being inhabited by the soul of the earth and eventually you try to sacrifice yourself for me again but you can't because you're dead now and then i wake up in my own body finally in the same room as you but i faint and get carried off by eldritch barbie before i can hear you assert your devotion to me by calling her a slut. either that or we could get coffee

“It was good. We were happy.”

Something Something water calms Nona because she is Alecto who is the Earth who is water Something Something anastasia probably knew this and took alecto into water whenever she had to tell her something difficult Something Something this tradition carried through to her descendants hence why we have the pool scene

She’s so 🥰✨😍😍💫✨💫💕✨

This really tested my ability to draw the inside of cars

my blorbos (from my books)

I had an epiphany

The Reverend Daughter - Gideon Nav

Harrow the Ninth - Gideon the Ninth

Nona the Ninth - Kiriona Gaia the First

thinking about Aiglamene. Like, so

a child crash lands in town. mystery where she came from. the mother is dead. this tiny redheaded thing has no one in the world. the town takes her in because what else are you supposed to do with a orphan dropped on your doorstep, but they don’t love her. the reverend family needs an heir, so they kill every single child on the planet- wait, scratch that, all but one. this one kid is alive, she’s alive, against all odds. so naturally, everyone’s scared of her. everyone hates her. out of all the children to survive why was it the one no one cared about. but they move on, everyone does, and the kid grows. and she starts asking questions. you start answering them. you start telling her stories, and it’s nice to be listened to, even if the kid is just a twerp. you start teaching her, she’s a natural with a sword, but you don’t tell her because it’ll go to her head. you’ve never had a maternal bone in your body, you aren’t mothering her… but she’s got nobody. and neither do you. you train her, you teach her, you tell her she can get out, get free from this place, if she works hard enough, fights good enough. she works hard. she fights well, better than you ever did at her age. she tries to get out. she gets caught. she tries again. and again. and again. and eventually, there’s a chance, a real chance. you’re the only person in the world who could get through this kid’s thick skull, and you tell her: this is your chance, this is it, you’re getting out, you’re leaving me, you’re never coming back, you’ve going to live, you have to get out now. and she goes. she goes, and she doesn’t come back. she doesn’t come back, and then she does… and she’s dead. she’s dead, and she’s back, the two things you prayed wouldn’t happen. she’s back and she’s dead and this is your child, you raised her, and you sent her off, promising a bright future, and it killed her.

nona cow theory

before i read nona the ninth, i saw spoilers that convinced me nona was the soul of the cows john killed. reading the book only further confirmed this

One thing (of one million things) I love about Camilla Hect is she holds a motherfucking grudge. Dulcie slights the Warden for a handsome ginger butch? Ten year long childhood friendship OVER, Cam literally acts like she doesn’t know her. Will she keep Jody alive? Sure but she’s going to make sure she does not enjoy one moment of it. Camilla has had enough education THANK YOU. Coronabeth saved her life once but does that matter? Absolutely not, Corona was part of the lie, nickname privileges REVOKED, found family status TERMINATED. Camilla does not need to be a peacemaker, the Warden has enough diplomacy for the both of them. She stands behind him with her big knives and says the Sixth House remembers, bitch.

Your mouth was very dry when you said: “My affections lie buried in the Locked Tomb.”

“And let them lie,” she said, laughingly, and not very kindly.

she really meant it.

I want to forget that I read this

in gideon the ninth: *the sixth and ninth find out teacher is a construct and they’re being lied to about the trials*

in harrow the ninth: *augustine tries to kill god by dragging him into the stoma*

in nona the ninth: *gideon, pyrrha, and paul trying to break into the tomb*
