Happy to FINALLY share that The Locked Tomb cover artist Tommy Arnold will be doing an AMA on r/theninthhouse tomorrow. This has been in the works for months. Come with your questions (not just about Alecto please!) for Tommy, and maybe celebrate some other special news he's been hinting at for days too...

4 or 6 for the violence ask game 👁👁

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

I block anyone at any time for any reason but if you come on my post and try to argue with me about Silas Octakiseron in a manner I find in any way irritating you get the megablock where I consciously go in on desktop and block you from this sideblog

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

Unfortunately it's G/H fans for the reasons detailed in the previous post simply because of the sheer number of them who are annoying in that specific regard but believe me. I have other complaints

for the ask game: 7 and 16. #myhatefulopinion

7. which character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts about them?

Look I didn't start hating John because of how the fandom acts about him but the fandom's behavior about him absolutely did compound that hatred by several orders of magnitude

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc.)

I mean it simply has to be fandomized G/H in which Gideon is a shredded butch meathead with very few feelings and very little capacity for serious thought and Harrow is a Sopping Wet Rat or whatever in fishnets wearing a rosary as decoration. And even then it's like. I know why you people like that thing. It is because you have strange opinions about lesbians and women of color and you're additionally not very smart.

13 for the ask game?

13. worst blorbofication

Dead tie between John and Harrow for different reasons. John because people are literally allowing him to lie to them through the page and accepting it as fact, Harrow because people have simply replaced her with a ✨neurospicy✨ goth tiktok egirl in their minds and refuse to envision her as anything to do with who she actually is in the book.

23. ship you've unwillingly come around to

I was a bone-deep active hater of Silas/Isaac as a concept ever since I saw it rolling around in the background of some random fic on ao3 but @eskildit performed open brain surgery on me that resulted in my scribbling about them having a really terrible situationship as adults in my notes app

1 + 8 :)

1. the character everyone gets wrong

Ok I got this one twice so that's my excuse for just saying both Silas and Colum and calling it a day. But here's the thing: I kind of cannot fault people for not reading them that deeply. They're two powerfully annoying white men in a narrative full of interesting women and people of color. That said I do need everyone in the world to bare minimum read the Cohort Intelligence Files and see that Silas is sixteen years old rather than a crisp 95.

I also (even though I personally headcanon + prefer to write him as having a progressive neurocognitive disability) need everyone to stop taking Camilla's assertion that Colum has brain damage as gospel. Camilla is not a doctor diagnosing him, she is a fellow cavalier who thinks siphoning and Eighth cavaliership are gross and is therefore saying something a bit snippy about the guy who's allowing it to be done to him. They have exchanged probably a maximum of 5 words ever. This is not a concrete fact.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

They did not make out in that g-ddamned fucking pool.

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

lrb it's frustrating too because i feel that nona the ninth could've been a great avenue to explicitly portray characters who are. not even trans per se but at least belonging to cultures with different gender norms, given that these cultures are supposedly thousands of years and however many light years removed from us. and how that comes into conflict with the imperial norms being imposed by the nine houses onto new rho. but all we get is aim

ive been turning this passage over in my mind and thinking about the varied ways we are presented with the origins of alecto: John's version, the lyctors' version, this version from her. there's the fractal nature of her narration at this point when nona is slipping over into alectohood, and there is the thing i love most about taz's writing, the little tricks of phrase she works in to communicate multiple hidden meanings. as alecto thinks, she lists increasingly complicated and divergent truths. from this little passage we get different versions of the origin story, with agency placed on different actors. what is the split between the world (earth? the universe? a specific active force?) and alecto? did alecto exist before john made her? was john born with the ability that he has, or was it granted to him "for he so loved her"? curiously, john does not spend much time (in his narrative to harrow) on the question of why he got these gifts. two things majorly come up for me with all these questions: horrors of love, of course, and the difficult unending push-pull of giving yourself over to something/someone, what you can expect in return. that is the defining theme of tlt to me and i really appreciate that it is so loudly present in this germinating moment of the series. second, this passage is referencing John 3:16, one of the most famous bible passages: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son [...]" but in the bible, the World is not an actor. the books are in conversation with christianity, within canon and metatextually; crucially taz is not reproducing straightforward biblical narratives. that transformation is really important, it asks critical engagement of us as readers. how is this connected to christianity, and how is it different? all the overlapping versions of this story (and the things happening off the page in the books) indicate there are many more forces at play than just john and alecto. what is the World? what is it doing? what does it mean for the world to love john?
