Did you know?

In the award-winning Locked Tomb Series by Tamsyn Muir, the Fifth House is implied to be on one of Jupiter's moons by way of Magnus Quinn commenting on how Fifth House children memorized a poem about the Great Red Spot in school. This is further confirmed later in the text, when the reader realizes that Augustine the First, founder of the Fifth House, clearly went to Jupiter to get more stupider.

john 1:20 - “ he did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ‘i am not the messiah.’ ”

ITS HERE!!! i’ve been wanting to do this ever since i read this quote. also i just reread this chapter in nona and it makes me go fucking insane. tribute to my most favorite horrible little guy and the most genuinely horrifying writing i’ve ever read

(comic quote is from The Reunion by Katherine Applegate, translation for the bible verse googled. thanks bible gateway)

- the “bright line” is john’s understanding of the soul/his connection to the earth; the four-pointed star is more explicitly the soul, hence why it’s in the palm of cristabel’s hand after she shoots herself, and over john’s mouth as he begins the lyctor process. the bright line resolves itself into alecto at the very end.

- the frame of cristabel is actually the first that came vividly to mind—i loved the image of a bright-eyed, naively innocent, anime-girl-esque cristabel juxtaposed with the harsh reality of the gun to her head and her bloodied hand

- the splash on page two is when john reaches out and stops gideon’s heart, and i just loveee how it came out

- the final panel is also one i’ve had in mind for a really long time. i hope i captured the unsettling horror of john, feral and animalistic and unnatural, moments after he completed the lyctor process
