Palamedes on the ethics of bodysharing: Will not so much as write erotica using Cam's hallowed hand or under her unsmirched name, even if it would being extra money to the family's tight finances.

Pyrrha on the ethics of bodysharing: rawdogs the #1 enemy of Jod (and by extension, his loyal saint Gideon) multiple times. Enough to have a pregnancy scare.

Ianthe on the ethics of b—

the pipeline of fixating over some thingy

If I was Camilla I would be giving "Dulcinea" the hard fucking silent treatment too watching Palamedes bring her tea and tenderly drape her in his bathrobe only for her to barely give him a second glance or even say hello and go back to batting her lashes at the first well-muscled butch teenager she laid eyes on. Never mind the fact that she literally doesn't acknowledge the fact that Camilla exists when Camilla thought they were at least friends. She's not wearing the pulmonary drain he invented for her even though it works as intended and she audibly badly needs it. I'd be on the news

Huh. Abigail is listed as an Heir same as the rest. So presumably there's some even older (compared to, like, the reader demographic) person who's like her parent or selector-bureaucrat or however 5 does it (probably the former) actually exercising power; seems to be significant from a worldbuilding perspective since she's so relatively old.

"their relationship is strictly platonic" "they're so in love" well, more importantly, they are fucking weird and abnormal about each other in an undeniable way

everyone’s always calling harrow regrowing ianthe’s arm “shockingly erotic” and “practically sex” and “the horniest scene in tlt” but nobody ever talks about cytherea cradling gideon during the siphoning trial. i mean who said that

Do you think if you looked through Cam and Pal's correspondence their handwriting would gradually become more and more similar

thinking about the unwanted guest again and how after about 30 seconds of Soul Wrestling Pal picked up a love of trash talk and the ability to smoke. If he got that then Ianthe MUST have had a piece of Pal rub off on her soul.

It must be Killing Her to not only have BABS polluting and destroying her favorite person (ianthe) but also PAL’s little fingers are in the mix.

I finally started reading Nona the Ninth. I'm five chapters in and here are some key takeaways so far:

- As a trans feminine butch Pyrhha Dve having a completely normalized shaving scene, and Nona thinking it's beautiful is HEALING

- In addition to that, the teacher misgendering Pyrhha threw me through a loop cuz I completely forgot she's now permanently in Gideon the First's body.

- The fuck is the blue light??? Why does it hurt necromancers???

- Crown is Coronabeth (Corona, Crown, duh). Captain is Judith.

- This book is managing to be to uplifting and hopeful, yet makes me so incredibly sad in a way I can't begin to describe. As someone who has such a deep indescribable love of humanity as a whole, Nona and the kids especially are really hitting something deep within me.

- Pyrhha wanting to take Calamedes (name pending) and Nona away and live away on a farm is just. Mood girl, mood.

- Pyrhha sweety, why are you drinking bleach? Do you wanna talk?

- I want to scoop up Hot Sauce and give her a good home

- The rest of the kids too while we're at it

- Between the last book and now Cam/Palamedes, Tamsyn Muir has accidentally created quite possibly the most positive representation of Dissociative Identity Disorder, and disorders like it, that I have ever seen. Like I just wanna sit down with Muir and ask if that was intentional or not

- It's a bit out there but I think Nona is humanity? Or maybe a manifestation of Earth? Like it would take an It's Always Sunny conspiracy board meme level of explanation to get into how I got to that theory. But I think Nona is humanity, or at the very least, human connection incarnate

- That first chapter detailing Cam, Pyrhha, and Palamedes caring for Nona... I cried. As an autistic kid who both was forced to grow up too fast, and also was often patronized when loving innocence/naivety shown through the mask, seeing caregivers not only love Nona, but respect her and show her DIGNITY was something I didn't know I needed to see
