currently reading lauren groff's matrix and this really is a book for the unhinged lesbian nun enjoyers. the way marie talks about eleanor of aquitaine reminds me of the way harrow talks about alecto

Throwback to when I took painkillers and woke up with Photoshop open on my computer to this image I had made

On the topic of Palamedes and Camilla also having messed up lives: while Paldulcie doesn't fit into a lot of folks' conventional ideas of queer romance in sci-fi, their whole love for each other circles back to Muir's point that you can't have shit in Empire and that love will often chafe against form and functioning Empire no matter what. The act of writing letters and attempting to make life better for Dulcie was revolutionary of Palamedes.

It went against planetary politics that demanded house necromancers compete and remain compartmentalized. It was an act that wanted to humanize a woman who was effectively bred to be an art piece of slow death and coddling.

Not to mention the continuous times in the series that Muir makes it seem like the Sixth house maintain some form of lesser place in the empire's hierarchy: like they're running out of genetic material, in Harrow's Marriage AU she mentions how they're often painted in a corner like her house is, The Second House went after their keys because they believed them the easiest to over-power, Palamedes and Camilla had no clue what formal dueling practices were.

Palamedes trying to marry the Duchess of Rhodes screams of the taboo and forbidden that Muir explores in Locked Tomb. I need y'all to wake up and see the sixth house as more than the funky librarians helping out the funky lesbians. They are definitely doing that, but they are so fundamentally crucial to this series.

started buying books again recently (instead of borrowing them from the library) & this is how after 7 years of dating, my boyfriend has discovered i am a person who writes in books with pen. i dont think he's emotionally recovered

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

my cishet bf has been listening to chappell roan constantly since i introduced him to her like 5 months ago. in the middle of listening to pink pony club for the 20th time he just stopped, looked at me in surprise, and said "wow this song is really queer"

you ever see someone so coked-up on adulthood that they've replaced every shred of interiority with a regurgitation of normative power structures
