Nothing hits like "romantic couple and a third guy who's not dating either of them but is definitely a part of this dynamic"

It's being weighed down by the labubu

Thinking over The Locked Tomb books and I love how clear it is that Thanergy, the magical death fuel for necromancy, is an inherently unsustainable energy. It’s meant to be this transitory little spark, a quick byproduct of the transition to death. Analogous to the way an actual fire burns out.

But it’s being artificially extended and induced in the entire solar system by one guy whose massive distaste for change is keeping everything held together and alive even when it totally shouldn’t be.

Just really appreciate how “necromancy as a rejection of change” is apparent in even the basic foundations of how the magic works.

to me the appeal of pathetic vampires is similar to the appeal of stupid cats. you have the teeth and claws to rip through flesh to your heart's content, but here you are. paw stuck to a quilt. staring woefully with eyes the size of saucers to get someone to help. same goes for a vampire failing miserably to use a touchscreen because his fingers are too cold.

I just learned the definition for the idiom a pyrrhic victory (a victory that comes at a great cost that negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress) and I can’t help but think about how that is exactly how Nona’s book ends and I think that’s how Alecto’s book will end too.

My partner and I were talking about how Pyrrha is the only one left (other than Jod) from before 10,000 yrs and how isolating that would be. Then enter Nona and the events of the third book and she has this odd but close knit family finally only to then lose everyone in that family. She even gives up her Jack Sparrow one last bullet to save Nona only to immediately lose her anyway. Literally everyone we know Pyrrha has ever loved is dead or a completely different person now and I think this is intentional. I think she’s named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus who lost all his friends and commanders fighting against Rome. Maybe this is well known and I’m just late to the party.

Anyway, I can only assume that’s how Alecto will end too. Where BOE wins but only after a great loss in which Pyrrha is left standing alone. . . Again.

POV you walk into the kitchen at three am and find Nona in the fridge eating baking soda

[addamii]

You’re all so right here’s Nona making a science experiment out of the contents of her stomach

(Also for those asking sometimes people will put baking soda in their fridge to absorb smells)

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

[plant-based-person]

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world

his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression

he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest

henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 

afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?

Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 

the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature

[beguilingcorpse]

tazmuir could simply rerelease gideon the ninth over and over again but from the perspective of all of the different characters at canaan house and i would be tuned the fuck in. like the drama of all of their different expectations and relationships…. coronabeth living her hot girl summer… judith experiencing Sapphic Hell…. isaac and jeannemary on the world’s weirdest family vacation…. palamedes living out a deeply repressed regency era romance…. silas filled with loathing for every single person there…. delightful. canaan house drives me crazy. it’s like if love island was survivor
