a conversation that went down at the new year’s party i was at last night:

“-yeah so her name is 19 words long it’s Awake Rememberance of These Valiant Dead Kia Hua Ko Te Pai Snap Back to Reality Oops There Goes Gravity and she has no last name”

“you’re so autistic”

I might just be very slow but.... is Wake basically the Virgin Mary in the big catholic locked tomb allegory?? cause like.... technicallyyyyyy she didn't screw anyone to get pregnant (we are ignoring her relationship with G1deon and Pyrrha...)

And if so... then imma need some fanart of Wake in the style of classic mother mary paintings cause there's simply not enough Wake art 😅

[lesbianjesus-gideonnav]

big fan of the locked tomb's version of the virgin mary. her first appearance is in a hazmat suit with a gun. her name is nineteen words. god's nickname for her references evanescence. her niece has blue hair and pronouns and several guns. she stole god's sperm. after she dies she fights a popular folk hero warrior from pluto. she and her newborn baby fell from space into a cult, a bit like a comet. she was planning to sacrifice the baby to open the locked tomb and start the apocalypse and kill god. she is not a virgin, and is bisexual. her skeleton is farming snow leeks to this day.

they say she was pushed out of the airlock but i know what really happened

"You sent me out there to kill a baby and open those doors. Whose baby didn’t matter on my end. Do you know, I gave that thing a nickname, my whole pregnancy? I used to call it Bomb.”

Wake: me!

Don’t wake the Sleeper

Thank you @theriverbeyond for letting me use your cosplay pictures as a reference, and for creating such an awesome Wake cosplay! The moment I saw it, I knew I had to draw it.

But seriously what if my parent conceived me solely so I could be killed as a child to open a locked door and what if your parents killed 200 children so that you could be born to keep it locked forever. What if both of us were war crimes what if our parents saddled us with more pain and guilt and heartbreak than anyone could ever hope to handle from the moment we were born.

And what if we kissed about it.

THE ONLY THING OUR CIVILISATION CAN EVER LEARN FROM YOURS IS THAT WHEN OUR BACKS ARE TO THE WALL AND OUR TOWERS ARE FALLING ALL AROUND US AND WE ARE WATCHING OURSELVES BURN WE RARELY BECOME HEROES.

Dealer: j got this new strain 💯 it’s called, “thanergy link to your daughters longsword” 😳🔥 gonna be blitzed off your titz

Me: whatever man I don’t feel shit

5 minutes later: dude I swear I saw some bitch in a hazmat suit at the bottom of that glass coffin

My girl Harrow, pacing: the eggs you gave me all died and you lied to me

two characters having a biological daughter with each other despite having never had sex, being on opposite sides of a war, and really only seeing each other as representations of ideologies they disagree with was one of the choices ever made in tlt. perhaps even the choice ever. an anti-ship of sorts. not even divorced couple energy, not even lovers who hate each other energy, absolutely zero sexual or romantic tension between them. just two people who hate each other and have a child together. while having never fucked each other. beautiful

I love them all so much.

That Anne Hathaway Twelfth Night photo where she's being kissed and he's being stabbed and she's kissing and stabbing has done more for the TLT fanart community than the invention of color

[g1deonthefirst]

a while back in the discord server we were talking about the possibility of wake returning in atn and @katakaluptastrophy pointed out that we learn in HTN that revenants can attach to murder weapons and we get a very specific description of pyrrha pressing the gun against cytherea's skull when she shoots the body to kill wake's revenant — possibly creating an avenue for wake's revenant to jump into the gun.

then @eskildit pointed out that we get a clear chain of custody for the gun in NTN, so i wanted to highlight some of the passages where the narrative really seems to focus on pyrrha's gun. i thought it was particularly interesting that pyrrha's first priority is retrieving her gun even after camilla's just been stabbed, when nona describes everyone else as rushing toward camilla. admittedly this might just be because it has a herald bullet in it (which she later uses to shoot ianthe), but i thought pyrrha's fixation on the gun being because of wake's revenant was a cool possibility nonetheless.
