My theory of what The Message is

AIM mentions that the message "It's too simple for humans to understand.". My guess is that it's data stored in the form of DNA sequences. Most people think of DNA as just genetic material inside the cells, but for years now scientists have been studying it's application in other areas.

With DNA you can storage a lot of information in a very small volume using nitrogenous bases A, T, G, and C (or U instead of T for RNA). This information can be preserved for myriads and wouldn't degrade like our normal methods of preserving information does (paper, HDs, SSDs, tapes, print, etc.). As long as there are humans that can read and write genetic codes, we will be able to decode it. (https://www.science.org/content/article/dna-could-store-all-worlds-data-one-room)

This explains why BOE picked a veterinary, because they have the knowledge to read and decode a DNA sequence. We know that Blood of Eden has the technology for that, and I think that it's mentioned that they had a project to clone Wake.

While this seems to contradict that it's "too simple for humans to understand", I think it's like the "you can't enter a door that you don't have permission" riddle. We can't understand ATGACGGATCAGC...just by looking at it, but it is what defines life on Earth. We understand it by decoding, which require our mind and memories that work on proteins, so there is level of separation already.

I think they are carrying information about life on Earth (and also maybe, other planets that they inhabited) in the form of DNA. Kind of like a Noah's Ark, but with also all the history, music, literatures, internet memes, etc., that humanity produced. That's why the BOE names are all pre-resurrection references.

My theory on how The Angel carries all this DNA information is that someone modified their body by making them like a chimera (with necromancy it seems). That's why they said to Palamedes that "My dead body is designed to deny you answers.". So if he were to examine them, he would find what looks like a bunch of puzzle pieces, each belonging as if to a different puzzle.

By this point I can't help but think of Teacher from the first book. The Angel was presented to us a teacher too, and they refer to themselves as "we", so like Teacher, they are a form of construct (with what I came up). Maybe Teacher is one of the parts of The Message? Cassiopeia was the one that created him and  there is this speculation that she helped create BOE, so AIM being like another construct made by her would make sense.

Small art gift for @admiraldora who chose the awful teens as a motif. Had a lot of fun looking up their scenes again and figuring out their overall appearance and outfits.

JM always being in awe of Gideon's biceps are the cutest and funniest moments. I can only imagine how often she she gawks at Gideon in secret and inspects her own muscles in front of the mirror in the fourth's room.

What if we kissed about it? 👉🏻👈🏻

On today’s episode of “The Alectopause is Slowly Driving Me to Insanity”

I had the genuine, only partially joking, thought today: “what if the strangely numerous amount of worm references and metaphors are leading up to a ‘would you still love me if I was a worm’ joke”

the problem with griddlehark is that Gideon desperately wants to be a well used chewtoy but Harrow has carefully put her up on the shelf like she is a limited edition funko pop still in the box

Goths, drag queens, and circus clowns are the only ones who know how to use cosmetics as they should be used. If you're not gonna be as dramatic, fucked up and weird as you can with it what is even the point

I need help!! meme I see meme I can only think of these two 😭✨

*booktok voice* Do you want to read a gay story about two guys who speedrun enemies to lovers, go against their designed nature by being together, who become unstoppable fighting side by side to much dismay of the gods who created them? Do you want to see one of them eaten alive by the grief for his lover when he dies from a godsent sickness? A book about someone fighting so hard for a chance at eternal life that he doesn't notice he is throwing away the precious time he has got, filling it with agony? Well, in the  2100 BCE poem of Gilgamesh-

they finally meet again and it's the first thing Gideon says

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down

the way the cycle of violence is playing out, small scale, in the ninth house. like.

on a bright, warm day in a strange house, a young woman commits suicide to save the girl who tortured and imprisoned her.

actually, before we talk about that.

years previous, in a cold, dark house, three people commit suicide in front of a 10-year-old girl.

hang on.

one day, a child opens a sealed tomb, in an attempt to commit apocalypse-suicide because–

no wait. that's not far enough back.

one afternoon, a little girl tries to strangle the only other child she's ever known to death.

no.

about twenty seconds beforehand, the two children mock each other because they are both motherless and unloved.

one sec, for context. so.

a little girl grows up a stranger in a house that hates her.

wait.

one night, all of your children die.

oh. uhhh.

once upon a time, a man who accidentally became god founded a world in which only those capable of using and manipulating the bodies of the dead could–

um.

a few months before the end of the world, the bodies in the mortuary of a research laboratory refused to rot.

uh. hold on. so.

on april 4, 1975, a man by the name of bill gates–

no wait. before we do that.

in 1642, a dutch explorer called abel tasman–

uh. hm.

a little more than 3,000 years before the end of the world, the first refereces to mass coal mining were recorded in china–

uh.

you know what. it's a long story. forget it.
