As a translator for straight, white, cis men to the Lockes Tomb fandom, let me share some realism: you really don't want to give us a "destroy the entire world" button. Because I consider myself a very good person and there are certainly emotional moments in my life that would have made me look back and say "oops. I guess I should start resurrecting people now."

I guess this is a post for two strangers bumbling out there in the ether, but Jon from the magnus archives and John from the locked tomb series give me very similar energy.

Not the same person, but their arcs are delightfully eldritch, "oh no, I didn't mean to destroy so much"

Started on some Gideon The Ninth fanart, cause I got a crush.

New Locked Tomb cosplay alert! Say hello to yet another John, haha. We've got big plans for him and the Lyctors! Stay tuned, Avo and I are releasing something big in October - it took us and a skeleton crew (ha, get it?) over 6 hours to film. But for now, we've got some Jod Tiktoks to tide you over!

I don't know why, but I've been seeing the resurgence of "interpretations" as to why the locked tomb series is marketed/branded as queer. Muir has spoken/written about this several times over the years. Since she created this rich universe, I'm accepting her explanation as the valid one.

For example:

Muir: "Gideon as a book itself is the butch lesbian aesthetic that I’ve always wanted to write; that is my teenage self. You’re just lucky that Gideon isn’t walking around with the really ugly, patterned, button-up men’s shirts that we were all wearing in 2006.

I wrote Gideon focusing on an inevitably homoerotic relationship between every woman who stands next to another woman for more than five seconds. It’s an expression of the fact that in the early Noughties when my lesbian mates told me: “You’ve gotta see this movie, it’s gay,” — the understanding was that nothing was going to be gay, but we had to put on our lesbian goggles. In Gideon, the lesbian goggles are fused to your face. It’s impossible to escape. Even the plot relies on women having had terrible affairs with each other. I wanted it to reflect the world as I lived in it, where everybody’s three degrees removed from everybody else, everybody’s ex-girlfriend is another person’s ex-girlfriend, or current girlfriend, or future girlfriend. There is an awareness of everybody’s ability to date each other that I think is not present in a book that has more heterosexual concerns. Writing the series, I wanted it to be a book where every girl could possibly hook up with every other girl."

And as someone who navigated the world of queer subtext in media (partly while closeted), I 100% get it.
