Nona the Ninth spoilers kinda idk I kept it obscure, proceed at your own risk
It is almost 5 AM I just woke up and.
Okay like, I have auditory processing struggles, but I also have reading comprehension struggles, so ideally I would have both the text and the audiobook, at least for my first read. But with TLT, I only ever had the audiobooks (which, to Tamsyn Muir's credit, means I was captivated by a story I'd only absorbed like half of on round one), so I had to listen to each of them like, a LOT in order to pick up on all The Things, so I just kinda always have them playing, including when I sleep.
This also means I get the jokes WAY too late sometimes, often after hearing them multiple times...
And like... Y'know that part at the end of NtN, where Nona is thinking about her top, middle and bottom thoughts...
And she says that if she looked at either her top of bottom thoughts, she'd lose the game... Cuz sh-... Cuz she can't think of the thing... the the-... the thing she ain't s'posed to 'member... 'member...? 🫠
Can you fuckers imagine waking up, your eyes barely cracked open, only to lose the game on what is approximately your 317th listen to NtN...?
Can you imagine
WHAT A WORLD
