you can no longer choke the life from a planet and stuff its soul into a barbie doll body and keep her as your bodyguard for 200 years and then lock her in a freezer because your friends think she has bad vibes. because of woke

hey you ever think about how harrow and nona have the same face and how paul isn't really palamedes or camilla but they body they're in used to be camilla and how it's the only face pyrrha ever knew as palamedes and how gideon is the spitting image of wake and how every time pyrrha looks in the mirror she sees her recently dead best friend, right down to the eyes. cause i do. that woman is haunted haunted. you can't take loved away but maybe it would be kinder if you could.

gideon the ninth on my iPod 4th gen (2004-2005)

it natively supports txt files, but can only display 4096 characters per file, so I need to break the book up into bite-sized chunks for it to be actually usable.

ok rereading nona the ninth and i can't believe this never occurred to me but. the kids know about resurrection beasts. they know varun the eater by name.

but like. of course they do. this is what people are constantly being "resettled" over, isn't it? it's not just the war. the lyctors move people off populated planets to flip them. of fucking course beautiful ruby knows what a resurrection beast is. even if he doesn't understand it, even if he doesn't know it by that name, of course he would know what it is. of course these people have names for them.

i can't believe i never considered this before. the children of the nine houses are raised not even knowing about them. harrow, with all her appetite for learning, with an entire library of nasty, forbidden little books at her disposal, had never even heard of them until she became a lyctor. but fucking kevin knows what a resurrection beast is. he knows their names, because he has to.

john has spent ten thousand years keeping them off his precious houses, and he did that by leading them straight into the path of populated planets. this isn't even subtext. we knew this. this isn't new information. i had just never really thought about it in those terms before.

jesus christ, john.
