Nona the Ninth is one of my favorite books of all time. Not just because it's Locked Tomb, but it is the purest form of one of the big messages the series is trying to divulge.

The price of love is grief. We will never be free of it as long as we love anything at all. Our family, friends, our pets, even beloved media. Anything that connects that deeply to us that we love it will leave a gaping hole when it's gone.

But no one rejects loving to avoid grief. Every one of the characters holds on desperately to something they love, to levels that seem unhealthy to us. They want the perks without the cost.

John is holding on to a world and people that died 10k years ago.

The lyctors cling desperately to their cavaliers memories, to the point of being willing to end the 9 houses to honor them.

Cam held on to Pal, Pal held on to Dulcie. Harrow held on to Gideon so hard she disappeared her from her memory to avoid the grief she would pay for the privelege of caring for her.

But Nona loves indiscriminately. She loves the polluted sky, she loves the sad people, she loves the stray dogs and her friends and her teachers and Varun. She loves Pyrrhas lying ass, she loves Camilla and Palemedes, she loves crown and even cares about Judith. Nona isn't afraid of grief, because to her all that love balances it out. Nona is the only one in the end willing to pay the price for that 6 months of unconditional love. She knows from the beginning of the book that her own days are numbered, but she doesn't shy from it and avoid loving.

She loves all that much harder.

"If you could see your whole life, start to finish, would you change anything?" The movie Arrival (2016) approaches this same theme. If you knew what you'd lose, would you go back to avoid it? Would you keep away from the people and things you knew you'd lose? Would you shy away from experiencing love just because it hurts?

"Love and Freedom don't coexist, warden."

Mold fairies with their berry of choice🍓 Instead of pixie dust they leave trails of mold spores.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like

“I hope you know that I adore you, Scholar.”

"Time’s up," he said. "Give this to Cam for me, will you?"

And he spread Nona’s fingers like he always did, and he quietly kissed the second right-hand knuckle.

You seem to post a lot of wire and circuitry and cyborg stuff. Have you read the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells?

This is actually really really high on my TBR!!! Please do tell me, is it any good?

The little sketch request post may I posit: Post-Nona Harrow and Paul hug, Harrow is uncomfortable but her body is very used to the feeling (I’m inconsolable)

I spent a lot longer on this than I meant to, but I also felt like it was Necessary, ykwim? ໒꒰ྀི⸝⸝´ ˘ `⸝⸝꒱ྀིა

I want you guys to know that I have seen your TLT requests! I’m working on them as we speak! I keep having to remind myself that these are supposed to be doodles and not fully professionally sketched masterpieces. 💀💀💀

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

Some gifs of the animation I did for my animatic! They only show up for a little bit in the actual thing so I wanted to give them their own post :)

Also a video version because it’s better quality

Locked Tomb stuff

tazmuir could simply rerelease gideon the ninth over and over again but from the perspective of all of the different characters at canaan house and i would be tuned the fuck in. like the drama of all of their different expectations and relationships…. coronabeth living her hot girl summer… judith experiencing Sapphic Hell…. isaac and jeannemary on the world’s weirdest family vacation…. palamedes living out a deeply repressed regency era romance…. silas filled with loathing for every single person there…. delightful. canaan house drives me crazy. it’s like if love island was survivor

The person who subbed the 70s czech cinderella in english added emoticons so the entire movie is like

and this one is making me lose it
