So the Unwanted guest has given me Pyrrha thoughts that makes me so so emo. If souls are permeable and the lyctor takes from the cavalier over time until parts of them eventually can’t be separated, then that means the person G1deon became was because of Pyrrha. He became Gods attack dog because of what he absorbed from Pyrrha!!

In the John chapters in NtN G1deon feels very different, still loyal to a fault but, he seems less hardened a little more squishy. The same could be said about Pyrrha. Pre-resurrection she was a cop and almost every example of her behaviour she’s yelling at someone, calling them out, telling them they need to toughen up and get thicker skin. Pyrrha also said in HtN that G1deon absorbed more of her than Harrowhark did Gideon.

So this means G1deon took the hardest parts of Pyrrha, the parts that were ruthless and determined. The stuff that made her the perfect soldier. Than when he dies at the end of HtN Pyrrha is left alone, in a body she didn’t want, as the softest version of herself. She felt so much harder for Wake, Nona, Palamedes and Cam, and those feelings of love scared her so bad. And I’m Ntn she’s trying so hard to be that old person and hold it all together, and she feels like she’s failing, but really she’s just succeeding at loving and taking care of people as best she can. Pyrrha is the loving person we know her as because G1deon took the worst parts of her and left her at her best and I’m going to scream.

Nona’s Birthday Party Playlist

My bookstore is hosting one of the NONA THE NINTH fan meet-ups on Sept. 13th and I was foolishly empowered to make our Spotify playlist. @tordotcom​

On a totally unrelated note, did anyone else know that Evanescence did a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain? :)

Judith Whittier and Hannah Pickering in a scene from The Factory Witches of Lowell by C.S. Malerich, an excellent new wlw fantasy short novel based on the Lowell Strike of 1836 that had me hooked as soon as I read the title.

For Femslash February Day 21: Hair (they have magic arm bands and rings made out of hair). 🎶

Tochi Onyebuchi's Riot Baby is a firey tale of a close-knit family struggling through the realities of Black America. Ella grows up brimming with raw power, seeing the future of those around her, moving things with her mind. Kev is her brother, born in the middle of the riots over Rodney King. They both fight to survive in a world that devlaues their bodies, in a world of police brutality and force, of surveillance and rage.

It's a superb, fast-moving story. It's sci fi, speculative, yes, but at its core this novella is about Black people in America, about Ella, Kev, their mother, about the systemic racism they face at every turn, and about the rage that builds, filling them to bursting, about what justice might look like. A dystopia that roots itself in ancestry, love, family, while also looking straight into the face of violence and horror. Onyebuchi packs a lot into its 176 pages.
