remember when blogging was cool? when we all felt we could be our most authentic selves on the internet? when we were comfortable baring our souls to anonymous strangers, hoping to find that glimmer of rare connection in our most initimate moment of vulnerability? yeah, me neither.

>> I did end up writing a total divergence when I was writing Nona, back in 2020, because I wanted to make sure my clockwork made sense — I wanted to make sure that if you wound up Gideon and Harrow and put them on a slightly different route the laws of the universe would still flow accordingly. (I stopped writing because when your editor asks how you’re doing and you’re like “I stopped to write 30k to prove a timeline” he’s legally allowed to shoot you with a crossbow.)
tazmuir wrote 30k of AU fanfic for her own series to make sure everything made sense and I truly hope to see it published as bonus content one day!

my open locked tomb questions *spoilers*
the tomb is open and these questions are too! Can you help me answer them or speculate some wacky theories?
The River 
What exactly happened to the River at the end of Nona and why? What is the tower?
Where are the people who disappeared into the stoma? (Augustine, Ulysses...) What exactly is hell, metaphysically?
What exactly IS the stoma?
Is the King over the River who Abigail mentions in HtN a different entity from Jod?
What happened to Mattias Nonias and Ortus after they went the fight the RB? Did they just go into the River? What happens when people go into the River though
Metaphysics of the First House and the Resurrection 
What exactly happened with everyone's memories? Why does Pyrrha remember some stuff e.g. Gideon's original name (she calls him G-- near the end of NtN) but Augustine and Mercy don't remember John's original eye color?
So Jod can't die unless killed by Alecto? Can he actually be killed by RBs or is it really just a sham?
Can Jod actually resurrect people now or does he need Alecto? I mean we've seen him basically resurrect Gideon Prime but was he technically still alive, just... in bits? Can Alecto resurrect without Jod?
Did Jod repopulate the Ninth like he promised Harrow? What happened these people?
It seems like the people who were going to repopulate the Ninth were like... being suspended in cryoanimation. Who are these people? Are they like, people got put into cryo right after the Resurrection?
Would Jod have just killed everyone after the trials at Canaan house if they hadn't died, ascended, or disappeared anyway? Is it possible he's tried to make new Lyctors before and he just disappears everyone after they fail?
What exactly would happen if Jod went to the First House?
Why can't you send or receive transmissions to/from the First House?
Stole the eyes of my soulmate (Lyctor things)
Why does Nona have golden eyes if Kiriona is a revenant? Is it because she has Alecto's soul?
Where is Gideon Nav's soul? Is it still in Harrow or in Gideon's revenant body?
Was Nona three people in one body?
What exactly happened to Anastasia and Samael? What kind of Lyctorhood did they achieve?
Paul???? So many Paul questions, what is Paul like? Like what is their inner experience of selfhood like? Was Paul always there since Pal entered Cam's body?
House Histories
Why is Canaan house like that? Like it was built as a replica--a replica of what? Or was it more like an homage to Earth? How much of pre-Resurrection like... culture and history was kept?
Who founded the 7th house if Cyth and Loveday were already of the 7th pre-Lyctor? 
Resurrection beasts & Alecto
Did Harrow just hallucinate the Body or did Alecto somehow impart a fragment of her soul when Harrow was a child? I think it's really just that Harrow hallucinated the body...
Why were Alecto's eyes like that (creepy black all the way around)? Is it just Aesthetic?
Inconsistent resurrection beast count?
Unseen character dynamics
What were Ulysses and Titania like, exactly?
What exactly was the dynamic between Alfred and Cristabel? Like why were they a bad influence on each other?
Critical plot questions
How did Harrow get into Alecto's body? (My answer for this is that she travelled through the River instead of going back into her own body. But like... how did the body switch happen?)
How did Harrow's body (Nona) get to Cam+pal and Pyrrha? How did Pyrrha get to Cam+pal? Did I just miss something in NtN?
How did Gideon's body with Gideon's soul (?) which was in Harrow get to the Emperor? Because I thought BoE had Gideon's body? Was it that Gideon's soul DIDN'T get to the emperor but her body did?
What is the role of the Messenger? Who exactly is Aim?
What are the creepy monsters that invaded the Ninth and that Colum Asht turned into? Are they RB related? Heralds? Are they from the stoma? (I think it's the latter?)
What happened to the trillionaires? Are they actually out there or has Jod just been running from his own demons?
Are we ever going to see the Gang from school again?

Ya know, psychologically speaking, vengeance rarely brings the catharsis we hope for. Are we ready? Bad guys, just outside!

new theory about kylo ren’s helmet
He’s so tortured and angry because he was a late bloomer and kids made fun of his squeaky voice and acne in high school
so he built a mask that would make his voice sound lower and slaughtered them all with his lightsaber
