one thing that I can’t let go of re: the locked tomb series is the statement I think it makes about identity and permanence and love. Like, I guess we all finished gideon the ninth being in love with gideon’s pov and with harrow as the person she is in relation to gideon. Then we landed in harrow the ninth and we were robbed of both, and I’m sure we all felt like we lost something, and we thought the end goal would be to get to the point where we would go back to having the thing that we lost: gideon’s vibrant voice and harrow’s whole psyche. and then we landed in nona the ninth and... 

I don’t know for ya’ll, but that’s when something in me shifted. phyrra was in the body of her most beloved adept and got to live with her longing for him and for wake redefining her identity; we didn’t care for her in the previous books, but we got to care for her now, and she was worth it. camilla’s body was both hers and palamedes’ and the coronation of their arc wasn’t to go back to how they were when we first learned to love them; it was to let go of both their individualities to become a whole new person, and we readers - just as nona - got to experience the pang at understanding that we were to let go of our concept of camilla and palamedes as individuals, while having to accept that that was the truest form they both could possibly achieve, that they felt no loss whatsoever, that what we perceived as loss was in fact their triumph. gideon - our beloved gideon - came back and she wore another name and we got to love her again, but names matter in this universe, and we had to deal with the pang of knowing that we could love her all the same, but she was - in fact - not the same at all, and when she antagonised our new main characters we found out in surprise that we resented her for it, that our loyalties had partially shifted. and then...

and then there was nona. nona in the body of harrow, who got to be loved as a person separated from harrow because bodies are transient and the soul is what matters. nona who was born to disappear in mere months, something the people around her knew well and which didn’t prevent any of them from getting to know her as a fully fleshed individual and to learn to love her all the same. nona whom we readers too understood at one point that was a character built to fade away. we could have decided not to invest in her, then. we could have decided to be annoyed at not finding harrow in her, at not finding gideon in her. but we didn’t. well, I didn’t. I understood she was born to die, and I chose to love her all the same. because isn’t it how it is? isn’t this how love is? we are mortal things who fall for mortal things knowing full well they won’t last. but we choose to love all the same. the impermanence of things isn’t a flaw ruining what should have been perfect; it is the very essence of things. we got to love nona even though she wouldn’t last. we got to love nona because she wouldn’t last. that’s all fine, in the end, because we got to love someone, and you can’t take loved away.

Nona the Ninth was like you are loved. whatever happens next, we did it it's done you can't take loved away. you were loved once and so you will always be loved. you were changed once and so you will always be changed. and let this cradle you, let this be your lifeline, let this tie you down when you feel like you're falling apart.

and then The Unwanted Guest came and was like.... love changes you. people change you. we change each other, just by existing right now together we rub against each other we bleed we mingle. we leave pieces of ourselves behind. you are the sum of the people who have changed you and sometimes you don't get to choose sometimes you don't want it to have been them. and you can try to run away from that, from them, but they will chase you they will haunt you they ARE you.

if this is the wind up move. i am fucking terrified of the horrors of love

If you were going to make a character that was the soul of planet earth in a human body you might think to make her motherly. Wise. Forgiving. Mother Earth cares for us, she provides, right? But Tamsyn Muir wrote Nona the Ninth and said YES planet earth is loving but also she is SO SO ANGRY and HURTING. And actually she cannot care for others right now she needs to be cared FOR.

Also she wants to eat pencils and she thinks flowers are sexy.

#I just think that the very specific ways the 'mother earth' thing is followed vs. the ways it is inverted are very interesting #she's beautiful and monstrous. she's desperate for a champion. she's hurt. she's powerful. she's not ready to forgive. #she needs to be loved. she needs to be cared for before she can heal #i try to tell people about TLT and it's like well it's about necromancers and identity and forgiveness and CLIMATE CHANGE #it's about imperialism and stagnation and homestuck references #but more than anything it's about gay space juggalos #but the climate change piece is definitely there you know. #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #alecto tlt #nonasbirthday #sticking this on the fridge

i FINISHED NONA LAST NIGHT witch means i can finally look at the tlt tags on socials and such without fear of spoilers and i did it i survived (not unharmed my heart is broken and ill never recover)

[eskildit]

at this point its my headcanon that camilla was having a whole vigilante justice arc while on new rho and nona just didnt know about it. like she definitely killed that neighbor that was abusing his wife and i do not think she stopped there. <3

#look i love my female rage content what can i say #a conversation I imagined occurred: #camilla: okay so a significant number of people think that nona and I are sex workers and you are our pimp #pyrrha: yes camilla its not that big a deal- #camilla: no no thats not my issue #camilla: and theres also a significant number of people think nona is fourteen at the oldest #and presumably theres an overlap of those two groups #pyrrha: yes presumably #camilla: and youre still walking around alive? cowards all of them. #the locked tomb #camilla hect #nona the ninth #eskildit posts tlt #ok to rb #EDIT: i misremembered the line it never actually specifies the gender of the neighbor's partner so not necessarily a wife

It's not missing Harrowhark that makes Kiriona the saddest girl in the world. Or at least, it's not just the lack of Harrow.

She fought all her life to escape the Ninth, fueled by the conviction that there was a better world waiting for her if she could just get out. As a kid, that was the fantasy of a super cool and important parent who could rescue her and punish the people who hurt her. Later, it was believing that as soon as she rescued herself, she would prove to everyone how awesome she was. She would make herself a hero, and she would be so valued and useful even Harrow would have to admit it.

Now she has every status symbol she ever yearned for, and none of it means anything. None of it feels good. She's escaped, and it turns out there was no better world waiting for her. Kindness is rare, and the people who show it die meaningless violent deaths. The rest of the universe has proved itself to be almost as cold and dark and isolating as the Ninth, filled with horrors she'd never imagined.

Kiriona Gaia is the saddest girl in the world because she's lost hope. She has everything she ever wanted, and it all sucks. So what is there left to want? What is there left to fight for? What is there left to live for?

#getting harrow back may help but it may... the opposite of help depending on how it happens #she said in front of the Tomb 'you could have LIVED for her ... but you didn't know how' #maybe if she can get Harrow back she can figure out how to live for her and it will be enough #or maybe Harrow is just the one thing left she knows she wants #and pinning all her hope on what she wants and can't have is all she knows how to do #harrow loves gideon but she's sharp and prickly and just one person #and what Gideon needs may be something she doesn't understand well enough to want it #the locked tomb #gideon nav #kiriona gaia #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers

Nona the Ninth reread absolutely destroyed me so here's a bunch of stuff I associate with her

#you can't take loved away #i have so many thoughts about nona and one day I'll be able to coherently put them all in one place but until then. this #huge thanks to ari and elliott for helping me make this mwah mwah #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #web weaving #tlt #Tumblr formatting sucks

[theriverbeyond]

pyrrha and camilla and palamades all making nona eat food even when she would rather eat sand or a marker cap because they love her. nona’s friends at school letting her know she is being an appalling baby by not teasing her about certain things, because they love her. hot sauce forgiving her, because she loves her. t shirt birthday gift. telling stories to fall asleep. trying to give choices even when there arent any. swimming with jellyfish in the dead of night. go hide in the closet, you don't have to watch this. birthdays are once a year but sure, you can have one at 6 months. they did it. it's done. you can't take loved away.
