She had been hospitalised because an official said they wanted to take [Palamedes'] bones away and said that they would not serve in a cell where a necromancer`s minion was allowed to carry " wizard bones'' around. I was there when they tried to forcibly take the bones away and they were forced to shock her.

What if we're just a little off the mark, when it comes to Ianthe's goals? It does seem like she's trying to become god. Studying resurrection theory, energy transfers, trying to replicate John's stasis trick on those apples. But Ianthe has always either shied from or been denied the spotlight. And the path she's on starts with her specialising in Resurrection theory.

What was the Resurrection, other than the obvious? It was the first recorded act in history, the beginning of necromancy. Why would a girl playing power double for her non-adept sister want to learn the secrets of the Resurrection? Well, there are plenty of reasons, but one that comes to mind is to learn how to make someone a necromancer who isn't. The first necromancer had to have gained the power somehow, right? Can you control who is and isn't a necromancer, if you're willing to pay the price? And then there was the conversation between Coronabeth and Judith, where they as much as said Corona could be king, but for the lack of job openings.

Whether she knows it yet or not, I suspect Ianthe's long-term plans are bending toward making Coronabeth god. All because she didn't want to keep doing her sister's homework.

Nothing better than Camilla Hect just chilling. Zoning out while her necromancer argues with the Reverend Daughter. Beating Judith and Corona at chess because she likes playing games all the way out. Reading paperback novels while Nona goes for a swim. Want that for her.

when judith tells camilla about marta’s rejection she says that “She didn’t have to tell me in so many words what we both knew” and “I knew without having to be told what I’d done wrong”. maybe this was already obvious to everyone else but i am convinced that marta did not mean to imply even half the stuff Judith interpreted from that exchange.

[tiffanyachings]

judith: idk it just seems like you and your necromancer had a pretty codependent relationship that could lead to a loss of self on both sides and become an obsessive fusion of halves. also you’re obsessed with his bones and they’re gonna kill you.

camilla [taking notes]: what if i ate his ground-up bones to set myself on fire so we could fuse our souls together and become one person. what then

So the failwoman poll bracket has decided it's "suspicious" that Judith won her round because she's a "relatively minor character from a niche series" and the mod doesn't believe she could have legitimately beaten the anime character she was up against. Her victory has been nullified and the poll is being run again.

Vote here for Judith Deuteros! Justice for Judith, if only in a tumblr poll!

Camilla said, She turned you down.

. . .

I said to Camilla, Yes; and it was the best and kindest, most honourable thing Marta could have done for me. She didn’t have to tell me in so many words what we both knew, that the relationship between cavalier and necromancer could so easily curdle into codependency . . . a loss of self on both sides. An obsessive fusion of halves, not two complementary forces.

Camilla said, Captain Deuteros, why are you telling me this?

I said, I wanted to let you know how lucky I was. She and I could have made that mistake together. It was such a near miss. I wouldn’t hold it against anyone else, except that I would want them to know that such a thing is never determined, never inevitable, like all the things I told myself that night when I was seventeen. If it had happened it would have been wrong and it would have hurt both of us.

Camilla said, I can’t comment.

nona the ninth, ch. 28

“Camilla, we did it right, didn’t we?”Palamedes said, and now Nona knew he wasn’t speaking to anyone else in the universe. “We had something very nearly perfect ... the perfect friendship, the perfect love. I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept.”

. . .

Camilla took a couple of gasping breaths—it was obvious how much they hurt her—and then she said: “Warden—will she know who we are, in the River?”

“Oh, she’s not stupid,” said Palamedes lightly. “In the River—beyond the River—I truly believe we will see ourselves and each other as we really are. And I want them to see us. I am not saying this was our inevitable end ... I am saying we have found the best and truest and kindest thing we can do in this moment. Tell me no, and we’ll go on as we have been ... and we’ll go on unafraid ... but say yes, and we will make this end, and this beginning, together.”
