In Loveless We Also See A Little About The Ark!! I Love How It's All Just Connected Somehow

in loveless we also see a little about The Ark!! I love how it's all just connected somehow

i love the subtle references to other books within the osemanverse. like, in radio silence, frances says the phrase “i was born for this,” and in iwbft, jimmy uses tori’s catchphrase, “it’s funny because it’s true.” we hear a reference to ‘universe city’ in loveless and catch wisps of nick and charlie’s story in solitaire.

the interconnectedness makes it all feel so much more real— every “background character” is human, every international legend is too. they’re all deeply flawed, but are just trying to do more good than harm. they all feel like everyone has it all so much more together than they do. they all laugh and break and cry and fail and apologize and love, truly love. in their respective tales they may feel like they are alone, but this little web of stories shows us that they truly are not.

and neither are we.
