Sometimes I think about how one of the few things we know about M— was that she was an ardent supporter of reproductive rights. Even when the investors had already dismissed the possibility, she was insistent on creating a form of cryosleep that would not force anyone to terminate their pregnancies. Even 10,000 years and a memory wipe later, when it became necessary to steal John's genetic material, she still provided her own eggs for the child that would break the wards on the Tomb.

The Eighth House is the house of justice, the house of conviction. The house of a woman who demanded complete bodily autonomy, and another woman who was willing to die to save humanity. But Mercymorn and Cristabel Oct had nothing worth fighting for, just the lies of a would-be God and his endless, pointless quest for revenge. And so the Eighth House, Keepers of the Tome, the Forgiving House, have become empty zealots, fanatics of an empire. Fanatics who use the bodies and souls of their cavaliers as batteries without consideration or consent.

I wonder how Mercymorn feels about soul siphoning. I wonder if sometimes, right before she wakes, she remembers what it was like to believe in something true.

as much as I love art of buffed to all hell Gideon (specifically gtn Gideon and not Kiriona) and yes, she has biceps the likes of which Jeannemary and Isaac have never before seen—I do think something is lost by making her shredded to all hell in back. and not just the realism of the fact that she only eats snow leek gruel and protein bars when she can find them. Gideon feels like she’s the hottest and buffest and the biggest around to herself, and by extension to us. but she’s still a teenager, barely an adult, she wouldn’t even be finished growing yet. I think there’s something important about the fact that she is physically imposing but she’s also smaller than we think. yes she is strong in all measures, but she’s still so young. she’s still small. she might not be as much of a wilted flower and drowned cat as Harrow is, but she’s still breakable. and I think that’s important.

I dreamt about kissing you. You were crying, your hands trembling in my hair. You never let go, and your breath awakened fears I've hidden for years. I swear I haven't thought of you like that in so long; I wish I could call heaven as my witness, but the moon keeps bringing you back to me.

whoever it was on here that said the two of them are both Orpheus and Eurydice at once, I’m hunting you for sport xxx

transcript of the really small handwritten bits under the cut in case they’re unreadable:

bottom left -

Camilla (blocky text): I don’t like the way your handwriting looks from my fingers

Palamedes (messy cursive): do you want me to write in a different script?

Camilla: no.

top left -

C: this would be much faster if we could actually talk to each other.

P: I know. I hate whoring myself to the paper.

C: I miss the sound of your voice.

P: I keep turning around to tell you things, and you’re not there.

C: I do the same.

top right -

P: I think I might be killing you, Cam. We can’t keep doing this. You’re going to end up dead.

bottom right-

P: you carried around bones in the hopes I could be salvaged, somehow

(p.s. they’re not meant to be canon exchanges (frankly idk that there are a lot of them from the tape recorder or the notebook that are actually in ntn) but yeah thanks for reading this far :))

if gideon the ninth was published today, pal/dulcie would be a 6-7 reference

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

"Kaz and Inej wouldn't get married" she's religious and he wants the tax incentives, what's not clicking

"Hola, yo también era su amiga. Y la extraño y aparece en mis sueños cada noche. He visto todas tus redes sociales buscándola pero genuinamente me pareces encantadora y a mi también me encanta Una Serie de Eventos Desafortunados y mi canción favorita de Be More Chill es Michael in the Bathroom. Devi Vishuakumar cometería crímenes y yo aún pienso que debió haber hecho más, amo uquiz, odio la estética de chicas blancas tristes, aceptaría que me hables de Euphoria, también soy la hermana mayor

¿Podemos intercambiar fotografías? Quiero saber que fue feliz. Tú y yo deberíamos juntarnos e ir a tomar algo, realmente me divertiría contigo, solo no me hagas drogarme, no creo que tú tampoco deberías hacerlo pero aceptaría tu ridículo vape. Yo me burlaba de él por no hacerse hombre y fumar de verdad y me tiró un corazón de humo sabor maracuyá. Entiendo perfectamente porque te amó y me gustaría intentarlo."

WHEN I AM IN HEAVEN I WILL REMEMBER YOUR MOUTH, AND WHEN YOU ROAST DOWN IN HELL I THINK YOU WILL REMEMBER MINE

The other day I walked to a local cafe and there was a group of goth kids all sitting at the middle table with books out, tabs and highlighters and fresh coffees at the ready. As I waited for my order I was curious what they were reading (I knew it in my heart) until one person said something about "wait let's go back to where she said she was a war crime-"

A sense of peace settled over my heart. Hope is alive this pride month.

“trad wives just need to realize their inner queer!” i promise u the white women that believe in the great replacement theory don’t have inner queer thoughts they are just nazis

I really do wish they explored race more in the testaments than simply having paula make racist remarks towards agnes, and I think it would really make jehosheba a much more compelling character outside just having “the girl with dark skin is super mean” trope.

You were doing everything just right. You were in therapy, medicated, devoted to a faith, living away from your toxic family, no contact with the ones who hurt you, living your dream, acting and singing, going out with friends. You had bad habits, of course, but you were in the right path as they said.

And then it happened. And it wasn't your fault.

I'm so sorry, my love, your life was yours and what happened was vile and horrible but I'll keep you as the most beautiful soul I've met.

you have to consciously unlearn racism and continue to watch for it because it will come out without realizing. because so much of society is structured around it. shrugging and going "i dont care" or "i dont know how else to say it" means you are okay with being racist and hurting other people with how much you dont give a shit about them.

Becka being the first to scream "by his hand!" in the assembly scene early in the series was really nice foreshadowing for her killing her father in God's name and I think the reason why she believes in divine justice so firmly is she has experienced class divide firsthand because she isn't the daughter of a Commander. Religion is often used as a coping mechanism for people who are struggling as there is this belief God will view everyone equally when society does not, especially as Christianity teaches Jesus as uplifting the poor and otherwise marginalised and scorning the greed of the rich. Becka grew to love assemblies as it showed her everyone receives divine justice no matter how powerful they are, and she decided to employ that upon learning her father was harming young girls because she wholeheartedly believed that was the Gileadian promise—girls would be protected from dangerous men 'by his hand' even though they are powerless because God protects the weak.
