ninth house kid named clavicular (after the bone)

he's assassination baiting... it could be on live tv...

Something I find interesting about tlt (gtn specifically here) is that when traveling from the ninth to the first, it is specified that the “rapid travel” takes about an hour. Now, as we know, the ninth is (both vibes-wise and based on the materially longer solar day - ergo harrow is confused about darkness happening so quickly) Pluto. The ABSOLUTE minimum distance Pluto can be from earth is 2.6 billion miles. 2,600,000,000 miles per hour is, like, 3.9c. And that’s assuming they travel in a completely straight line, which seems pretty unlikely given that the velocity of earth is nearly six times that of Pluto. Most of the time, if you “went straight there” eg by accelerating radially inward rather than using a hohmann transfer or “warping”,whatever that means in practice, Earth would just fling itself away from you at (shockingly) planetary speeds. Approximately 50,000 miles per hour, to be specific. And then due to you still moving at the speeds ordained by keplers second law, you would probably just fall into the sun. Admittedly most orbital mechanics work differently at relativistic speeds but like. Damn they have space travel DOWN. Even without the steles! I guess with enough thrust anything is possible.

#i think about this all the time #i strongly feel that these books are more confusing LOGISTICALLY than narratively #tlt

trying to read the handmaid's tale in tandem with watching the first couple episodes of the show. both are great but serena joy is way hotter on tv...

person typing into google search bar: obfuscate meaning

google ai overview: Understood! From now on, all meaning will be hidden from you, and you'll be forced to wade through the dreary vastness. Whether it's things you've always held dear, or new ideas you've yet to discover, nothing will make sense or appear to have any real value. This could be the beginning of a fascinating journey!

there needs to be a ban on using the cranberries in tv and film soundtracks until we figure out what's going on

john gaius’s proven inability to die kind of makes me hope that alecto the ninth has a running gag in which he is killed once a chapter every chapter in increasingly more lunatic and unlikely ways. like a looney tunes episode or a very good timeloop movie. damn fucker just keeps coming back. time to try the ol hanging anvil

status-quo-hater

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

what is the correct way to read the locked tomb series

gtn, htn, ntn, repeat until you have a base understanding (may take 3+ cycles)

gtn, htn, ntn with a couple months to a year of processing between each book

rereading each book multiple times before moving on to the next one

all three of these

a secret fifth answer (comment)

Voting ended onMay 7

#i like option two and i also forgot to read the unwanted guest the first time #so i read it for the first time after reading everything else twice #which was GREAT bc it felt like i unlocked a secret level of a game i already loved

gideonisms

the hill I die on re: griddlehark characterization is that gideon is canonically tidy and harrow is not. Because gideon needs some small sense of agency over her own life. similar to how she's always working out because she needs control of something about her own body. Harrow isn't as careful with things that belong to her

gideonisms

don't get me wrong harrow is living by a set of strict rules that keep her functional but those rules are not legible to anyone else and they don't involve taking care of her body or doing her laundry

#let's not forget that gideon was sweeping her cell literally the morning of her escape #girl you don't have to do that #the locked tomb

it really really bothers me when artists give gideon a super anglo saxon nose. or even a skinny hooked nose. like technically one can argue that we don't have a whole lot of detailed description of her skin color and other features and maori people are certainly not a monolith. what we DO DEFINITELY KNOW is that she has a wide nose that nona describes as catlike and "the complete opposite" of harrow's one, ie probably not pointy. so why do i so often see griddle looking like tilda swinton?
