Augustine specifically is so funny to me because imagine forgetting you're a man in stem, forgetting all about Misogyny Classic, living 10k years, becoming a saint, and then deciding your colleague who's a woman is just hysterical and her specialty is useless, unlike you who's likeable and useful. But who knows why you think this!

#new discourse: john can be a misogynist bc he remembers misogyny but augustine can't so that's actually ethical non-bigoted woman hating

[thunderon]

thinking about how harrow called gideon “the greatest cavalier the ninth has ever produced” and like…. that just sounds like a topic of debate for harrow and ortus to bicker over. like i can just imagine harrow writing a 200 page overly personal counterargument to the noniad. gideon vs nonius is their messi vs ronaldo

#zjzjzjdh the tags#the audacious hypocrisy#she WOULD#ortus has to turn around and do breathing exercises before he says something he can't walk back#like that Harrow's childhood infatuation is not an objective measure of Nav's skill as a cavalier#or that such admiration is not universally amorous in nature; your experiences are not universal my lady#or worse#*morose Ortus voice* perhaps young Gideon's undeniable skill could one day have brushed the shadow of Nonius' greatness#.....had she ever been given opportunity to hone it#*mic drop*#but he's not that mean (via maysaura)

When I tell you I am SOOOOO deep in the catacombs of The Locked Tomb series, it’s unreal.

Anyway, this one specific line has been haunting me for like a good few weeks now and I had to do something about it.

I consider it divine retribution that I made @curiouswisp check out the locked tomb and nows she's dragging me back into it (and I wouldn't want it any other way). This Camilla is for you

A big thank you to Josh for typesetting this, rendering it and essentially making my silly little drawings look better than I could’ve made them. Please follow him on Twitter (@BeAstronomica1) and check out his work!

So we found out from Palamedes and the Unwanted Guest that lyctorhood is not perfect and leaves a mark on the necromancer. The necromancer devours the cavalier's soul, and unintentionally gains something from it, mostly emotions or new urges or something like that. Like Ianthe getting Babs' hatred/distaste of Gideon.

John devoured Alecto. For a little while, John and Alecto were one, two souls intermingling like two pieces of flesh bleeding together. Then John created her a body and poured her soul back in, unintentionally creating a perfect lyctorhood.

John didn't really know what he was doing. He was running on guesswork and instinct. So I think he and Alecto shared and gained something from eachother.

Alecto is always described as angry. Which makes sense, considering the circumstances. But when John killed and devoured the earth, he was furious. He was raging. He hated.

What if Alecto got most of her anger and hatred and rage from John? Some of it was hers, yes. But hatred? A never ending anger? What if Alecto got what John was feeling when he ate her, made her?

And John. What did he get?

The thing is, we don't know what Alecto's personality was like. She was a planet, not exactly a person with feelings.

But we do know what Resurrection Beasts are like. They are relentless. They hunt and hunt and hunt John. Angry, yes. But mostly unstoppable and stuck in a never ending cycle of hunting John no matter the cost.

John won't forgive the Trillionaires. He doesnt even seem that angry anymore. But he won't stop hunting them, not for anything. Augestine begged him to stop. John doesn't let his lyctors tell him to stop. John doesn't care how many worlds he kills, how many people he displaced. He doesn't care about the cost to the Houses. He is relentless. He hunts and hunts and hunts.

John acts like a Resurrection Beast. And Alecto acts like John.
