Thinking about the wedding in Alecto the Ninth
Thinking about how Alecto is awake and the lyctors are dead
Thinking about John going to Alecto and saying, "look what I have done for you, behold I have slain my lyctors and my fingers and gestures are dead, by feeding them to your siblings and by my own hand. Good morning Annabelle Lee, everyone who has fucked with us is dead."
Thinking about John Giaus telling Alecto that now everything can be perfect, they can be his perfect family with their two children, one necro and one cav
All eternal, all immortal, everything he's ever wanted. His perfect family to play pretend with
I think John Giaus, Jod emperor of mankind, is going to try to marry Alecto
And I think Alecto is going to tell him "No, now I know what real love is"

GtN and HtN spoilers!! CW: talk of not having control over your body
just randomly thought of this now so excuse my incoherentness or possible ignorance or if anyone has said this before (this is also my first ever tumblr post so sorry for formatting errors), but i was looking at fanart of cytherea the first and just loving it. i realized there’s just something so baroque about her, and i think that’s on purpose. because she’s of the 7th house yes, the emperor’s joy and all that, but also because she’s a woman, and also because she’s dying. she’s expected to be beautiful because of her affiliation and her gender, all while she’s decaying from a disease that she was doomed to be born with and could never escape until it ultimately killed her. wilting away infront of everyone. and the ENTIRE time, she was given roses. roses, the pinnacle of beauty. every single rose she was given had a meaning, a life. and every single rose died. inevitably, wilting away infront of her. reminding her of her own fragile, ‘beautiful’ self. and even after she was dead, she was laid to rest drowned in roses that were modified to stay perpetually fresh, along with her body (i think) ((which of course john would do, after reading nona i’m not surprised)). not even eternally asleep could she catch a break. i think tamsyn muir was saying something here about how the ‘ideal woman is a dead one’. she is silent, still, and malleable. that’s what she pretended to be in canaan house. but i don’t think she ever could truly be. she was too angry. too enraged. also the fact that she became a lyctor in hopes she could be cured but just ended up suffering in a stagnant state of sickness for thousands of years, the fact that she was purposely given this disease. the fact that john LIED. lied to everyone. lied to HER. before her life, during her life, and after her life, things were done to her body without her informed consent. her cancer being almost prophetic, her unknowing improper lyctoral ascension, and the possesion of her empty shell of a body. (also it being used as a medium for pyrrha and wake is a whole other thing) she IS the rage of not having control over your own body. i think, ultimatley, that’s what her character is about. i mean, i’m pretty sure harrow stabbing The Sword™️ INSIDE her unwilling corpse was probably a metaphor or something…
“we take so much. i’m so sorry.”
(again i just thought of this thirty minutes ago so feel free to add anything 🙏) ((i also wonder how this parallels dulcinea and her life but it’s 1 am and i don’t feel like thinking anymore. but i think we’ll learn more about her in alecto.))
the art that inspired this was a beautiful cytherea and harrow drawing by pygmypouter on tumblr!

palamedes writing the sequel to the shitty romance book on the wall of his bubble room … he was so real for that. I’m surprised one of us hasn’t started writing Alecto on the walls of our enclosure

Asoiaf is a history book that I like, but The Locted Tomb series is my Bible.

Spoilers! for the fourth Locked Tomb book I read in a dream
I woke up before I could finish it. I think I entered Tamsyn’s brain last night. The book featured Blood of Eden + 6th House officials putting together skilled teams in an elaborate plan to kill Jod. One team was Paul, Gideon (fully alive!), and Harrow, but they were the dumb dumb underdog team that kept tripping everyone up. It was implied that Harrow’s one act of solemn necromancy in this book was bringing Gideon back to life early on, but it was never shown. It was also revealed subtly that part of Nona’s love for life still lived in Harrow and she was trying her best to embrace that silly side of herself so she and Gideon didn’t have to suffer anymore. Unfortunately losing her cutthroat dedication right before the most important assassination attempt in human history was a bit ill timed. The ENTIRE book was just Gideon Harrow and Paul being idiots and goofing off while super professional teams (one of which included Hot Sauce as a star student) actually planned out the assassination. One iconic scene involved Gideon jokingly holding Harrow up by one arm on her hip like she was carrying a child. This was Gideon’s idea but Harrow liked it. The two of them fell, knocking over Paul, and all three ended up with identical bruises on their faces. Paul had big chill stoner vibes. It was also implied that Paul had their own plan to kill Jod (because of course Blood of Eden is doomed to fail) but they never revealed it. The entire story was told through the perspective of an unnamed rando recruit on one of the competent teams. The funny thing is, they had no idea Harrow was a necromancer and was confused the entire book why BoE recruited such a clumsy chihuahua of a person for their cause.

Based on what Tamsyn Muir said about Alecto “hopefully” being the last book. I wish I could tell her directly “Do it. If the story needs to be longer do it. Hell make an entire book about the Harrow Nova au cause it ties into some later arc. Take up space. Dominate the genre.So many male writers make 5-8 books about some fantasy/Sci-fi world cause they feel like they have the audience’s attention to do so. And to be completely honest Tamsyn Muir has my attention like no other. Like yes girl make me read 3 more books consisting of 500-600 pages. I am sat.
