St. Shrodinger, The Verminated. The First (And only) Saint of Necromancers. Often joked in higher better regarded religious groups that it was a dirty old homeless cat they dug out of the rubbish.
St. Shrodinger historically was noted was a liberated slave during the post era of some great war. Though Liberation was great-it came a few decades too late as Shrodinger was too old to do any useful work, too sick to be around other people, and unskilled in anything but domestic service-assistance for sort of stopped after being freed as he wasn't really regarded as 'useful' to society anymore.
After being found by several Neromancers living in a box, they planned to use him for study and experimentation as they assumed he was dead. But what was assumed to be a horrible case of leprosy and skin disease causing parts of his body to slough off-was actually an undead necrosis. With no magic detected in his body-he was the first recorded 'True Undead'-not Dead but not alive, both both at the same time; still a slave to bodily needs and functions but freeded from the need of rest,injury or disease. Natural occurring Undead were unheard of at the time, they regarded his existence a miracle. They regarded him with a great fondness and tended to his any need or want he had and he knew great luxury and comfort he had not ever known before. For the rest of his life, which historians estimated to be 80 extra years on TOP of his already advanced age, St. Shrodinger lived in good care and good company until his requested death. He is noted the only Saint in recorded history whose death was not natural nor as a martyr but requested as a consented euthanasia as he had 'lived long enough'.
St. Shrodinger's Feast day is often observed by Necromancers as days in which death and life must be celebrated at the same time. Depending on where you live-how that's interpreted can vary wildly from quiet observation of those who have passed to having wild procreative orgies to produce new life. Tuna is an encouraged feast food-chicken is also an acceptable substitute. He is often depicted holding a small box-which is speculated to symbolize the endless possibilities each one of us holds within.
Or it could be, being a tabaxi, he was just a big fan of boxes.

What are some things you really like about the Locked Tomb? Amy specific characters, scenes, thematic motifs, memes? And (if you feel like it) why?
The answer to this is Many Things, which is one reason the series has taken up residence in my brain for good!
My favorite characters are probably Palamedes and Harrow; Pal because I love a good nerd who is also very kind and his whole qpr-flavored relationship with Camilla is so important to me, and Harrow because. Well. There are sure some reasons I have been really vibing with characters who are mentally ill disasters recently, and I think she's a particularly interesting and sympathetically written one. But I love so many other characters in the books too. One thing I really adore about the series is that it's got a 10/10 ensemble cast. Stories with really large casts of interesting characters are my favorite, and TLT has so many good ones. It's delightful.
....Which also ties into one of the other things I love about the books. I have. A lot of thoughts about what TLT has to say about relationships, and specifically that it does so in a way that really works for me as an aro person. The fact that the whole Lyctoral process (and its variants) reads like an exercise in "Hey, what if Drift Compatibility were way more fucked up" works so much better for me as a thesis on love than what many works of fiction have to say about it, and the idea that it can be both a positive/negative force, and that none of that is in any way restricted to one kind of human connection is. So much better and so much more interesting than what you usually see when fiction tries to say something about love and what it is and how it impacts us.
(Also, going to keep things kind of vague here, but for my friends who haven't read Nona yet you might want to skip over this next paragraph, just to be safe)
That was something I was already musing heavily on before NtN, and that I really liked about the series, because as early as the first book you have a lot of different things happening in the neromancer/cavalier relationships. But the most recent book really hit me in the gut with that. I remember I read an interview with the author that mentioned the "Life is too short and love is too long," line and I knew it was going to mess me up badly (although I didn't know if it was just a theme the book was going to dig into or an actual quote) because things of that, like, "better to have loved and lost" ilk really get to me. But I did have some ideas about what relationships it would be most relevant to, and I was VERY wrong, and when I hit the point in the book where it was actually said, I bawled my eyes out -- as expected, but also for totally different reasons than I'd been prepared for because that whole conversation is just. Not the kind of thing you get to see between characters with that kind of relationship, usually. I am still verklempt about it, honestly.
Anyways, 10/10 books series, I am so excited to see how it wraps up because I really feel like Tamsyn Muir is going to manage to stick the landing with these. Her writing style alone is such a delight and has given me a lot to turn around in my head, as someone who also likes telling stories that are both dark and funny and try to do some unconventional things. Not saying I am on her level but man was her writing style designed to cater to me specifically.

Sometimes your just a dude. Sometimes your vampire with sense no right or wrong because you grew up in a dark cave and then given twitter then got a boyfriend who isa fae hitman and likes you because if you kill people he's not doing it and therefore has done no wrong and then you become besties with a neromancer who out to avenge her family along with her fae girlfriend who one special skill is torturing people. So really your sense of right or wrong starts with murder is okay.

Remarkable composition by the excellent Swedish Jörgen Ivarsson for his second YWAMag selection. Also deserves the absolute best. Superbly fresh... Winter Field © Jörgen Ivarsson aka Neromancer :

New Book Review: Gideon the Ninth
Tumblr media
Image from publisher’s website
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Release: September 10, 2019
Publisher: Tor.com
I’ve admired the cover of this book since I stumbled across it over the summer. The stance, the macabre, and the general bad-assery it evokes kept me on my toes, waiting for the release date that would allow me to finally delve into the dark depths of a “lesbian necromancer in space” novel. After reading it I’ve decided to describe it this way: Gideon the Ninth is a novel written for the Ravenclaw mind (full of wit and cunning) with the humor of a Hufflepuff (so many puns), while featuring  Slytherin and Gryffindor protagonists trying to get along. I was not disappointed. 
Gideon the Ninth has a fairly simple plot line with complicated politics and an interesting magical system featuring the intricacies of necromancy. Gideon is the chosen cavalier for the Ninth House’s most powerful necromancer - Harrowhark. The two have ventured to a dying planet in hopes to make Harrowhark a Lyctor - an immortal, all powerful servant of the Emperor. There are two small issues though: Harrowhark and Gideon hate each other, and there are eight other houses vying for the title of Lyctor. As politics are revealed and secrets are unearthed, the question shifts from “Are you powerful enough to succeed?” to “Are you going to survive initiation?” 
I simultaneously love and hate the world that Tamsyn Muir has created here. On one level, Muir has created a complicated magical system that has a base level but also allows for different foci centered around House culture (there are nine houses that are basically countries/planets) such as siphoning energy, healing through reverse necromancy, or calling up the dead from small bone fragments. On the other hand, I have no idea where or when this takes place (I might be able to Google it but I honestly don’t want to ruin that surprise). Gideon loves porn magazines and pizza, there are space ships, flashlights, and showers - but they all still fight with swords and knives and rapiers? It’s this weird conglomeration that I cannot seem to figure out (the part I hate) but I enjoyed the story so much that I eventually found myself not minding!
Now, some people might hate not knowing, but I absolutely love the layers Muir has provided within this magic system AND world building because it is revealed bit by bit (yay for positive reinforcement throughout). I still don’t know the full extent of necromantic power after reading nor do I fully understand the world, but that’s ok with me for now. I imagine more will be unpacked in future novels. If Muir continues to use the witty cynicism and dark humor that pervades Gideon the Ninth in follow ups, then I am 100% ready for unique experience this world is going to provide. 
I’m giving Gideon the Ninth 5-out-of-5 Awesome Austin Points. Gideon and Harrowhark are complex, snarky, and confident in their own fields (swordcraft and necromancy respectively). The whole novel is set in a creepy and mysterious undertone and I’m ready for the next one. Luckily the next novel in the series, Harrow the Ninth, has already been announced for publication in June 2020 (go check out that cover)!

Excuse me while I stubbornly refer to any type of elemental power as a Mancer
Gal’s got fire power? Pyromancer
Gal’s got ice powers? Neromancer
Gal’s got earth powers? Gimancer
Gal’s got wind powers? Aerasmancer
So when I see Elsa climbing a goddamn 30-foot slope of black Nordic sea water you can bet you’re ass I’m gonna be like “Bae is showing some SERIOUS Neromancer abilities here, hot damn.”

Do you have any monsters reimagined ideas for bullywugs?
Tumblr media
Footnotes on Foes: Bullywugs
Like a lot of other "beastfolk" monsters, Bullywugs are pretty much what you get when you picture "frog people" in that they live in swamps and have paper thin reasons for getting into scraps with players, which in this case was them being "too stupid and primitive to understand the ecological damage of their overhuntung".....which is....yikes.
The other problem with their concept is that d&d already has atleast three other "tribal" frog people, the nieve but goodspirited grippli, the tyrannical grubg slavers, and the mad kuo-toa and their selfmade gods.
I suppose to their credit, bullywugs did pick up the concept of being pompous "toadies" in some source material, but it's a thin veneer of characterization on top of an otherwise lackluster critter.
Here's my pitch: Bullywugs are commonly known to be the reincarnated spirits if those who perished in swamps, having spawned spontaneously out of otherwise normal frog broods after their soul became lost in the mire without a proper body to be reborn into. Whether or not this is exactly true, the frogfolk do possess a smattering of the dead's knowledge, and flashes of their character. They also retain these insights after they die, having a chance to return each spawning season, memories of their amphibious life intact.
Consider for a moment the sort of people who die in swamps: hapless explorers yes, but also criminals left to die of exposure and exiles unwelcome in less quaggish lands. This gives settled folk a hard to shake mistrust of Bullywugs, as they often spawn alone and have little to do but stew on their unfinished business. It is known that bullywugs cannot breed more of their kind, and so  rumors persist that to ease their loneliness they waylay travelers in the hopes of drowning them to create more bullywugs
Adventure Hooks: 
A bullywug is stalking around the outskirts of the village, generally giving off bad vibes and blamed for numerous thefts of food which it may or may not have committed. A fine sidequest for a group of low level adventurers to scare it off and return piece of mind to the community. Except when they interrogate the bullywug, she claims that she’s had visions that a particular, notable villager is going to murder her. Depending on what the party knows about frog people, this could lead to them believing her, or realizing that this bullywug is actually remembering her past, and the abusive husband who murdered her in the swamp for the chance to marry his pretty young mistress.
A band of bullywug river pirates have been harassing one particular stretch of water for generations, unafraid to take losses as their numbers are always replenished next spring. After surviving such an attack, the party is approached by a lone bullywug interested in changing his warband’s ways. tired of the violence, the deserter wants the party’s help in seeking a powerful witch known to live in the area, hoping that she might have a means of capturing the pirate-leader’s soul, preventing him from reincarnating and directing the frogfolk to more and more violence. 
Undead have been rising from the mire lately, bloated bodies said to be led about by flickering wisp-spirits like moths trailing after a lantern. The source of this unearthly disturbance is a powerful bullywug neromancer that refers to itself as “the Corus”, which has unlocked the ability to absorb other wayward souls as a means of bolstering its power and archival memories. Intent on establishing itself as lord of the swamp and all lands within it, the Corus will soon grow disatisfied with the waterlogged memories of the long dead and look to abduct fresh victims to add to its consciousness.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Landon in limbo is actually Malivore?
I know that other people have wondered that as well, I don’t think it is though. They just can’t keep having it not be Landon for another season. 😭 Plus I’m pretty sure Malivore’s storyline is over, but who knows. This is Legacies, I also thought the Neromancer’s/Ted’s storyline was over too and now we’re stuck with him again. So I think it’s possible that more about Malivore could be explored somehow (which I actually wouldn’t mind since I feel like they never really did much at all after all the buildup). But I do still think it’s the real Landon in limbo. I don’t even think it would be possible for Malivore to be in limbo or any sort of afterlife since he was created from mud so he couldn’t have a soul.

I finally designed a Halloween Chomby Oc like I said I would do one day.
He is the leader of the Neromancer’s Guild by night and by day he works as a tailor. He.....does not have a tail. Like it just fell off and never grew back the way it should have, so he had to make a fake tail (because a tail was 90% of his up right balance.) When you mess around with the necromatic arts, you often have a price to pay. He ain’t fooling anyone tho, they all know it’s a fake as fuck tail.
I don’t really have a name for him outside of ‘The Guildmaster’
