Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
thinking about that quote that's like "oh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued" wrt the kiriona & phyrra & nona thing; kiriona wants so badly for someone to save her, so she lashes out at phyrra and nona when they're not the people she wanted to show up
I think. It might be worse. Because yes, she wanted Harrow to save her from her tower, and she HATES that she got Nona instead, but also. She's been wanting so badly for someone to save her for such a long time and
Pyrrha kind of is who she wanted to show up. She's just twenty years too late.
Declan is described as looking like a combination of Ronan and a polished tailored guy like Gansey or Greenmantle, which in theory makes him like the pinnacle of the type of guys Adam is attracted too. Just don’t tell that to Adam Declan Ronan or Gansey it won’t go over well.
Don’t know if this has any bearing on the actual narrative of The Locked Tomb, but Ianthe and Kiriona’s “Tower Princes” title reminds me of the historical “Princes in the Tower.” In the 1400s, a couple of princes were kept in the Tower of London by their uncle, supposedly for their protection, until the coronation of the oldest prince. Unfortunately, they disappeared, with much speculation about if they had been murdered and if so, who was the culprit. At one point, two skeletons were found under a staircase in the tower and have long been assumed to be the bones of the two ill-fated boys, though it hasn’t been proven.
The Princes in the Tower also play a role in Shakespeare’s play “Richard III.” Tamsyn framed both GtN and HtN as plays. And then what happens at the end of NtN? Everyone starts speaking in what sounds like Shakespearean English. It just raises questions, that’s all I’m saying. The choice of tower princes is so interesting because traditionally the tower princes are seen as fairly helpless victims. They were children after all, who were murdered by someone hungry for their power. I mean so much potential symbolic significance there in terms of innocence, death, and power. It will be especially interesting to see how this may factor into Ianthe’s narrative arc, because I’m hoping her arc is going to be especially explosive and intriguing in AtN. Excited to see how this plays out!

So what’s the consensus on the Richard III references (i.e. the Two Princes and the Tower Princes)? Because the most I can glean is “two doomed kids foolishly left in the care of a mad king” but if anyone knows of, like, specific quotes or plot points…?
Starman (1984). An alien takes the form of a young Wisconsin widow's husband and makes her drive him to his departure point in Arizona. Distrustful government agents, along with a more ambivalent scientist, give pursuit in hopes of intercepting them.
Aliens have long been used in sci-fi to inspire a sense of wonder in the audience, but I can't remember the last time I saw a film that captured the wonder of its characters so organically. This is John Carpenter at his best and Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen are just magic together. Really loved this one. 8/10.
It is entirely possible that at some point he will get better, but at this point i could not really care less about Gideon every time he shows up... not one of Liefeld's better creations...
