lock picking is like sex. to me

Extremely niche comparison but the plot of The Locked Tomb is so similar to what a Mechanisms album about the bible would conceivably look like.

Just stood in the sweltering mall parking lot for 45 minutes with my key caught in the door handle lock of my car until my brother came to pull the plastic off of the inside of the door and finally get it unstuck

alright not to get all kingdom hearts on your asses over here but i've had an alecto the ninth theory cooking for a while now. which is that the gideon that narrates the end of htn is almost entirely disconnected from the kiriona that we see in ntn.

obviously there are the distinct name and personality differences, but there's also the big implication that harrow took something from gideon via the lyctoral process - something she absorbed - that kiriona currently lacks. i've seen some people kick around the idea of this being kiriona's "heart" because of the chussy (and the romantic implications), and i think that's a good a thing to call it as any.

if you aren't familiar with kingdom hearts, there are two creatures that can come from the same person: a heartless, which is literally a person's corrupted or stolen heart, and a nobody, which is the body (still possessed by a soul) that a heartless leaves behind. nobodies are their own functioning person, but can go through physical and behavioral changes and are usually pretty emotionless or bitter.

i'm trying not to Kingdom Hearts Lore Dump, but this sounds a LOT like what's happening with our girl kiriona. and i'm just saying that there are a lot of parallels between gideon's heart being out of her body/with harrow, but kiriona continuing to "live" (heavy scare quotes) while maintaining most of her soul because of the lobotomy and stalling of the lyctoral process. i'm just SAYING that when you put it like that, it sounds an awful lot like kingdom hearts. I'M JUST SAYING

and do i have any direct evidence for this? not currently, no. but based on what i know about muir and her knowledge of early 00s fandom and pop culture, i'm more than willing to bet that a kingdom hearts reference would not be outside of her wheelhouse. weirder shit has been referenced in the locked tomb.

if i had to extrapolate further, this all seems to point to some kind of reunion of gideon's heart and kiriona's body. harrow and gideon('s body) are in the same place again for the first time in two books. it kind of seems to me that either gideon will get her heart back, or she really won't - i.e., gideon's heart is gone forever (absorbed too completely?) and kiriona must either continue to exist in a state of incomplete megadeadness or cease being. which creates its own separate set of problems that i'm personally choosing not to think about. we can burn that bridge when we get there.

I love watching Moon Knight all over again and noticing things that your first time watching you may have not looked at.

Look at this

Do you know what that is?

Here

Just less than a month after I finished the show the first time I was in Vienna I went to the Museum of Natural History and I read this. The original is in Germany however there was a copy of it there. I went to that Museum two more times and this still fascinated me.

Here is what I took.

I just absolutely love when the writers of a show put things like this. Little references that you don't usually catch normally. The cosmos and Moon Knight, it's amazing.

This brought me so much genuine joy. I got so excited when I was seeing it for the 9th time or something, put it on my IG story and everything.

Might make this a tiny series thing of things I've noticed in Moon Knight.

I wish dating Sim games/otome games or whatever were gender neutral or you got the ability to choose your pronouns like in The Arcana :( I know gay guys who play dating sims is a small demographic but please please pleasepleaseplease just let me pick my pronouns so I can immerse myself in the Anime Men Romance Simulator without feeling dysphoric 🥲

was talking to my library coworker about translation state, and this is how it went:

coworker: oh i read the summary for that but it seemed too weird for me

me: it's not that weird!

me: [proceeds to try to explain the premise, gets caught explaining the whole presger treaty and how translators are essentially human aliens]

me: [remembers that the crux of the book takes place in a weird internal organ time circle tunnel and that the main conflict is resolved by two of the protagonists eating each other]

me: yeah okay it's pretty weird

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be

the locked tomb series as a whole feels like something the mechanisms would come across and be interested enough to write an album about

like you KNOW one of them would somehow accidentally be ordained as a lyctor or some shit. not because they go through the process but because they’re immortal and have the same healing powers as one. one of them would find a way to meet jod and probably conspire with him (and we know it would probably be ashes). pyrrha would meet one of them on the street and either get into a fistfight or take them out drinking. probably both. poor brian would probably crash land on one of the houses and become some sort of prophet/oracle again. they would encourage so much awful shit and it would be great

this connection was definitely not spurned by mechs content finally finding its way onto my dash again alongside the usual locked tomb stuff i see daily /s
