palamedes writing the sequel to the shitty romance book on the wall of his bubble room … he was so real for that. I’m surprised one of us hasn’t started writing Alecto on the walls of our enclosure

was told I should post this on tumblr

All of the kisses in the Locked Tomb series thus far, organized chronologically and described accurately

Inspired by @wifegideonnav's post on Tamsyn torturing us:

Suicidal ten-year-old makes out with corpse; gets possessed

^Same kid gets eyebrow kissy and baptism from hometown butch who she's definitely killed a few times

^Same kid sticks vomit-covered tongue into throat of vicious socialite immediately after lobotomy to forget dead girlfriend

Honorable mention because it happens offscreen: Dead Girlfriend's Mom (haunting same kid) (different haunting) vent-reminisces in memories about her unholy thruple-with-two-bodies

Socialite delivers averted cheek kiss with a womp womp womp

Sloppy bisexual thruple (different thruple) fuck God after lemon queen's ex-husband takes her cannibalized nun-wife's name in vain 

Dead planet baby feeling herself; kisses own reflection

DILF distributes daddy forehead smoochies

Dead planet baby perfectly mimics dead bestie's knuckle kiss to codependent bodysharing cousin

Honorable mention because there's plausible deniability: "horrifying noises" made by twins upon reunion 

Dead Girlfriend sees girl who owned/tortured her for years, stares longingly; dead planet baby rolls with it 

DILF gives real kisses to members of thruple (different thruple-in-two-bodies) before besties mutually explode in death-by-codependency

Dead planet back in second body. Bite.

Mercymorn reducing Harrow's so-called age all through HtN truly turned out to be the funniest foreshadowing of all time

something i desperately need in alecto the ninth is for harrow to be chasing after gideon. like, one of the most heartbreaking aspects of their relationship is that gideon genuinely believes that harrow can never be as devoted to her as she is to harrow. like, she SAYS as much to ianthe at the end of htn (and meanwhile, harrow is standing in a crumbling mansion clinging to the memory of gideon for everything she’s worth, turning herself into gideon’s mausoleum, but gideon has no way of knowing that).

gideon needs to be wanted. she manifests that in her desire to join the cohort, and it is most obvious in the way she emotionally latches onto the idea of her mother, an idea that is violently destroyed when she finds out that her mother never wanted her either. that’s why she’s the saddest girl in the world, as nona says - she might be the prince of the empire, but she isn’t wanted. ianthe is more devoted to harrow. the emperor is grieving his original lyctors. harrow is still obsessed with the idea of the body in the tomb. pyrrha found nona to love instead. hell, even aiglamene kept herself at arm’s length throughout gideon’s life. gideon really, really doesn’t think that she is loved at all.

all of this is to say I need it to not be gideon running after harrow in the last book. I need harrow to be the one showing gideon how much she cares. that gideon’s sacrifice tore her apart, that she’ll willingly burn everything to get gideon back. let harrow be the devoted one.

I had an epiphany

[arachnostalgiac]

imagine you have to resurrect your friends, who you killed, many of whom you last saw very angry at you for ONE teeny tiny nuke.

anyway, this time you'll get it right. you bring them back to life. you make them more loyal to you this time, because you have ultimate power over life and death and can do shit like that.

and they STILL fucking end up hating your ass, partially because you made them eat the people who meant the most to them. even the one who is unquestionably loyal to you was fucking your absolute worst enemy. even the dead ones work against you from beyond the grave.

how do you continue to fuck up this badly. incredible stuff.

I hope no one's done this already

I'M TRYIN TO READ A COOL SCIFI FANTASY MYSTERY AND GOD KEEPS TALKING LIKE A FUCKING MILLENIAL AND THERES A FUCKING NONE PIZZA LEFT BEEF REFERENCE THIS SERIES IS INSANE.

[camillarekt]

I find the concept of nona so funny… like imagine if you knew harrow, this violent psychotic nun who has the personality of a particularly wet cat, someone who willingly gave themselves a DIY lobotomy, and now her body is smiling and giggling and telling you she loves you soooooooo much

"I have you. We bring hell."

Tamsyn Muir really gave us this epic shipping declaration then two books of irreconcilable obstacles and an overdue finale.

I am going fucking feral in lesbian over here.

what if we spelled Palamities like calamities. anyway, the story in the back of nona's paperback might be called The Unwanted Guest but WE'RE always excited to spend time with our fav smartboy!

doubtless, Ianthe feels different, but that's even better. preorder Nona the Ninth in paperback to hang out with a very bothered Ianthe
