“Ninth was my name,” said the new arrival. “Ninth was my hearth, and my homeland. Here have I come at your calling. None may return from the River unless he be bidden by blood-rite; tell me, why have I been drawn here?”

*Nona the Ninth spoiler*

The AUDACITY...… the GALL...…. the GUMPTION...….

Of Tamsyn Muir including in nona the ninth a griddlehark kiss, except it’s actually not because it’s Gideon’s revenant persona Kiriona, and the soul of Harrow’s bullshit dead girlfriend. This series has me so feral, I love it so much.

Harrowhark said, in the exact sepulchral tones of Marshal Crux: “Death first to vultures and scavengers.”

Paul

(Image description, and close ups of elements, behind the cut)

I have been obsessed with the idea of Paul as the Rebis, the Great Alchemical Work, since the moment I read the birth scene (a few weeks ago now). It just fits too perfectly, and I am sure it is not a coincidence. From Wikipedia:

The Rebis (from the Latin res bina, meaning dual or double matter) is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or great work.

After one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body.

I wanted to do it in a style evocative of the time that alchemy was ‘popular,’ and include imagery evocative of story elements surrounding Paul’s birth and origins. I looked at a lot of medieval illustrations, especially woodcuts, for inspiration. This took me 84 years to do, so I hope you will enjoy! :)

Not a comment but a command.

[my-life-is-liz-lemon]

At least I’d had your full attention.

Reading the locked tomb after seeing posts about it on tumblr is like trying to put together puzzle pieces but half of the pieces are almonds actually

hey sorry your girlfriend erased you from her brain. yeah she didn’t want to absorb your soul so now she doesn’t remember you at all. however her mouth does still remember how to say your name even though she has no idea you exist. yeah she called for you when she was dying but on a conscious level she doesn’t know about that. sorry
