I pray the tomb is shut forever

I pray the rock is never rolled away

I still love y

TLT does kill your gays but like. In a sexy way. They’re haunting the narrative you can’t stop seeing them in the corner of your eye you can’t live without them they’re integrated into your soul but in such a way that they’re gone forever. Where do they end where do you begin. It doesn’t matter because you’re all dying anyway

[evil-genius-shark]

They also keep coming back on account of the whole necromancy thing.

was it casual when i manually reassembled your exploded skull from 96 tiny pieces?

Harrow -> Alecto <- Gideon

It's kind of a mess but I'm pretty happy with it as a first crack at this kind of poetry, lol <3

her eyes were the sickly green of the sky before a tornado, and to his horror he discovered she could throw cows around just as easily

[that-house]

to his horror? weak shit. outta my way gayboy im boutta get it

[that-house]

all of our trobles seem so small from up here

[palamedesnutz]

my wildest tlt theory is i think maybe it hasn’t been been 10,000 years at all. maybe its been at most like… two generations, but everyone’s memory has been manipulated

[clubconsent]

In light of the recent Muir event where she talked about 1) Lyctors losing their humanity by definition and 2) the centrality of memory to the series, I would like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that Paul has to ask Gideon where they've seen the Devils before, because they're struggling with memory.

god is a dream, harrow. you all dream me together

Let's settle it. In Gideon the Ninth,

Powder offhand is:

A gun & gunpowder

Bone powder

Pocket sand or similar physical powder

Some sort of flashbang/smoke bomb

I don't know & I don't subscribe to any of the above

Other option which I will provide in the notes

hey i have a question

if firearms in the locked tomb are considered practically obsolete in jod's empire, as they are implied to be from their first moment onscreen at canaan house...

what the fuck is the "powder" that's being referred to in the beginning of GtN, when harrow and aiglamene are discussing the choices for gideon's offhand weapon? when harrow says "powder or chain" and aiglamene talks her out of it?

this whole time i assumed "powder" meant powder as in powder and shot, so i imagined something like a flintlock or other black powder pistol in the offhand. but gideon's reaction to finding a gun in canaan house makes it seem like she's never seen one before.

so what does powder mean in the context of an offhand weapon? is it like... pocket sand or what?

Third base is when your blood is on my hands

[astronomical-bagel]

Forth base is dying in front of you

[astronomical-bagel]

fifth base is coming back from the dead to die in front of you yet again

[astronomical-bagel]

Sixth base is seeing my shadow in your reflection as a representation how we parallel one another and how you are unable to move on from me despite the harm we caused one another. I may be gone but the memory of me will never die as I haunt you for the rest of your life.

[astronomical-bagel]

I’m going to be honest. First base is ideological disagreement and second base is when I threaten to kill you for the first time

[jessaerys]

WAH i am not immune to toxic yuri

[sidewaystime]

do books even come in anything but first person anymore

[anais-ninja-bitch]

hello! i have come to share the good news. have you welcomed The Locked Tomb into your heart?

[sidewaystime]

i have read it twice! and do love it.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

aw, nuts. i was hoping to trick you into reading the best second person narrative i've ever seen.

[katakaluptastrophy]

This is your semi-regular reminder that the datedness of the meme references is the point.

What if child soldiers and evil magic space princesses 10k years in the grim darkness of the far future were unknowingly making references to Miette because their empire speaks a language and uses a register artificially in stasis, undead like the planets they live on, utterly referential to one millennial man in STEM who never went to therapy?

(What if you clung onto inanities and crystallised your sense of self around the vestiges of the man you were 10,000 years ago, because how does a human mind fathom being an eldritch entity, worshipped as a god, consumed by vengeance and the fear of being fundamentally unforgivable?)

The memes are cringe. And they're terrifying.

[prokopetz]

You are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. I am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.
