Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them

what is wrong with this book.

[diendane]

Thinking about how necromancy occurs. (I’m tired so this is half baked but it’s been nagging me all week).

So like, we know that necromancy wasn’t a thing for anybody but John pre-resurrection. We also know that several people who were not necromancers pre-resurrection were made necromancers by John after the fact. We know that there is something special about the 10 billion killed/resurrected souls that enables them (and their descendants) to do necromancy. (And also a lot of those 10 billion are currently unaccounted for)

The descendants of those who escaped John’s massacre and have not been to the Houses seem removed from any type of resurrection shenanigans. The devils have not yet targeted non-house places. There are no necromancers randomly born amongst the population of New Rho. Necromancy is impossible on any planet that hasn’t been “flipped” (killed) without a bunch of death happening.

We know necromancy isn’t purely genetic, because Ianthe and Corona are identical twins other than the fact that one is a necromancer (and I would posit that any dissimilarities between them physically is the result of one being a necromancer). This is also shown in the fact that Harrows parents had to kill 200 children to ensure she was a necromancer, and this had to occur on a necromantic planet.

But it also can’t purely be about the soul. I’m not putting it past John to alter billions of souls, but like, I don’t think he would alter every potential soul ever just to perpetuate necromancy? (Also this idea, like, does not answer the question of when souls are made or when they enter the body or if souls getting recycled is a thing in this universe) also, Palamedes can’t do necromancy in Camilla’s body, so there’s got to be something physical as a component.

I don’t know. This is mostly me fishing for ideas from other people. My current crackpot theory is that every necromancer is multiple/or a single broken soul that got fucked up in the river and that death energy is part of what gives them an initial necromantic kick or something, and then they cannibalize their own life energy which is why they’re all so physically fucked. Which is also based on my assumption that souls are not supposed to be hanging out in the river, and that this is just the place John chose to fence them in. And it also ties into my other tinfoil hat idea that the trindentarii twins were actually supposed to be triplets and Ianthe ate one of them in the womb, bc if the third were gonna go for flesh magic hubris, why not go for the drama of triplets?
