I got brainrot

[firstfloweroftheninthhouse]

The scene in ntn where Nona does such a spot on impression of Palamedes kissing Camilla's hand that Camilla has to dissociate about it in the tub has me wondering about the first gen lyctors' relationship with Alecto. Do you think that they were afraid of her because she wasn't human enough or because she was too human?Do you think that she worried her lip like Cristabel? Do you think she walked with Alfred's walk and laughed Pyrrha's laugh? Do you think they saw in her flawless imitation a mockery of their dearest friends and of their greatest sins? Do you think they said to John "it is a monstrosity, it is unbearable, send it away from us, Lord. We cannot look at it." Do you think he looked into the golden eyes of his own greatest sin and said "You are right, we should put it to bed."

We all knew that John was awful, but the thing that perhaps struck me as the most appalling sick shit on top of all the other appalling sick shit he's done is this:

From the beginning I was slightly confused about why John consistently used A—, M— etc throughout the memories we see instead of the lyctors' full names, like we know who these people are, but I also thought okay, well they were all known to sign just their initials and use them as callsigns all the time, whatever right?

But when he talks about Ulysses and Titania he uses their full names in every instance except in this one, when he says U— and T— were their old names, before he renamed them to his liking, because he's a controlling deranged bastard like that.

And then it just hits you.

He's not using the lyctors' full names because those are their old names too. He has RENAMED his dead best friends who died protecting him. Every single one of them. They weren't around to say yes or no.

the og lyctors lived and honed their necromantic abilities for 10 THOUSAND years. g1deon was able to sap thanergy from bone wards without a second thought. mercymorn memorized the human body. augustine was also there.

I am DESPERATE to know more about Anastasia and Samael and their story and the formation of the ninth house

But also I need to know why Pyrrha was painting a nursery, explain what colour she painted it in what I assumed was an all grey stone building that had slowly built into a bone church over time. Did it used to be colourful? Did it used to imitate the nurseries on Earth? Was the ninth house formed BEFORE Alecto was entombed and is that why Pyrrha was there??? (I am 100% looking way too much into this)

⚠️ Spoilers for “The Locked Tomb”!

Lyctors from Harrow The Ninth! 💀⚰️🖤 I had these lying around for a while and even made stickers out of them but haven’t posted them yet :D Who is your favorite? 🤔

(please no spoilers for "Nona the Ninth" in the tags! I'm not done with ntn yet)

I think we might be thinking of "perfect lyctorhood" the wrong way. It can't be 'discovered', because it doesn't exist. No one is hiding any secret knowledge, and no one has ever created a lyctoral bond without killing their partner. John brought Alecto to life, in a new body he created, but that isn't the same as having never killed the Earth. The Earth is still dead.

Whether or not the kind of perfect lyctorhood Mercy imagined—the kind where no one has to die—is even possible is still up in the air. Anastasia thought so, but we still don't know exactly what, if anything, went wrong in her attempt with Samael.

It may not be possible. Souls may not work like that. But if it is, the method has yet to be invented.

pre-resurrection gang is like: every friend group should include

a bimbo (cristabel)

two mean bisexuals (augustine & mercymorn)

an even meaner lesbian (cassiopeia)

she/theys (pyrrha)

he/theys (gideon)

a token straight that’s on thin ice (alfred)

two preserved corpses you puppeteer around with you (ulysses & titania)

an astrology bitch who has everyone’s birth chart memorized (nigella)

and a short king (john)

Cytherea is another name for Aphrodite, appropriate given that she spends Gideon the Ninth trying to seduce the titular butch.

Supposedly, Aphrodite first emerged from the waters off the island Cythera - and Canaan house is, in its way, an island in the sea from which Cytherea emerged as a Lyctor.

more discussion of locked tomb names

One thing we can learn from The Locked Tomb series is that if someone monologues about how their serial-killer friend had the greatest capacity for kindness out of anyone in the friend group, that’s a red flag that there’s something wrong with the whole friend group

John and friends (when your besties help you become god)
