imagine ur doing 90 in a 55, ur water just broke, u arent even trying to get to the hospital about it youre trying to get away from your ex man (who is also your girl) who is also the fucking traffic cop trying to arrest you for speeding and also some unrelated stuff (the only reason he hasnt called a full on car chase is because he thinks you're pregnant with his kid) (its not his kid, you specifically picked his boss as your sperm donor to make said boss’s life hell) and you have a pretty good idea about what the last couple hours of commander wake's life was like

thinking about how gideon understands wake's conversation with john so she must have been speaking her oppressor's language to her oppressor. thinking about how wake's full name is italicised, a literary convention indicative of foreign words. thinking about whether wake even knows the meaning of her name at all or if it is just about keeping it alive at this point. thinking about if she knows any of the destroyed languages of the planet that her ancestors escaped ten thousand years ago before they were erased entirely. thinking about wake and how two thirds of her name is derived from anglo/western culture just so the devastating impact on indigenous people of the erasure of their traditional knowledge and culture could be contextualised in a way muir's (predominantly) white, anglo/western audience could understand. thinking about wake and how she was angry enough at the imperial systems of power she spent her whole life fighting against to exist as a ghost for twenty years after the fact of her death. thinking about how all augustine offers her efforts twenty years after the fact of her death is belittlement of her people and a toast. thinking about [a giant shephard's crook emerges from the wings and yanks me sidestage]

Anyway Wake lives in my mind rent free and the fact that she’s the Mary to Gideon’s Jesus and John’s god is just!! So crazy to think about!! I’m not catholic enough to really appreciate it but I LOVE that about her and I wish I saw more people talk about it.
Wake, who had an incredibly messy relationship with two people at once, being cast as the Virgin Mary? Having God’s child only for them to be killed for the good of mankind?? Yet Wake’s hard refusal of anything related to motherhood because Gideon was never supposed to be anything other than a tool?? OG Gideon/Pyrrha being her own twisted version of Joseph????
#awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity#the locked tomb#commander wake#I just like the idea of asking:#what if Mary never wanted to be a mother and only did it to save her people#what if she HATED everything God stood for but had to grow something of him to finally end him#the classic tragedy of Mary loving her son despite how he was always a sacrifice for mankind#contrasted with Wake: who knew the entire time what she planned to do to Gideon

Got a kofi to draw what I want so I decided to do a comic! I always really loved this scene from Nona the Ninth for some reason (I love Wake) and so here’s an interpretation of it. I challenged myself to only take the same time on it as I would a single page kofi (tho I still went over a bit) so it’s more painterly than usual, but it was a cool thing to try and do :>

wait do you think wake's name is a fucking joke about how she died. like obviously eminem "snap back to reality oops there goes gravity", but like, she explicitly died by falling out of the airlock when g1deon pushed her. so like... oops there goes gravity?
Dksjdhdgd oh my god it never occured to me but now that you've said it..... bitch it might be. Oops there goes gravity. Wafting you down to your death like a butterfly
#on a less funny note the first part#awake remembrance if these valiant dead#does seem like a reference to her battle at the center of the mind with Nonius#and Nonius' summoning#two ghosts revered by the living as legendary warrior#the remembrances of the valiant dead#awakened to do battle#the locked tomb#htn spoilers#tlt spoilers#awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity#(if we're gonna go whole hog and do her full name ''kia hua ko te pai'' calls out her greatest weakness as a leader)#(let goodness come of this)#(she forgot that part)

Thinking about Wake's last words rn. She claims in Harrow that she died smug and satisfied with her work, enjoying getting to die in front of Gideon the First, who couldn't. But when the Ninth house brought her spirit back from the dead, she /screamed/ for him. It was all she would do before she ran off to go hide in her bones! She screamed for him in such a way that the nuns apparently thought she was screaming for her /baby/ and therefore that the baby must be named Gideon. Which makes me so insane. What was she thinking? What was she feeling in that moment? Was she afraid? Was she angry? Did she want him to come down here so she could kick his ass? Did she want him to save her?
The fact that the nuns assumed that baby Gideon was who she was screaming for makes it sound almost like she was afraid for /him./ Was she afraid he would tell John? Was she afraid he had gone too far and would break his own heart against his sense of duty? Did he have some other plan we don't yet know about?
Like, from a more meta standpoint here, Muir could have had Wake say a lot of different things here. But all she does is call out for him. It's so maddeningly opaque. But it's just like them. It's not actually about what she's feeling - if she loves him or hates him or fears him - she just can't bear for the conversation to be over. Now that she's free of the mission she had in life, the only thing she wants is to talk to him again.

You know, if they weren’t mortal enemies driven by a societal hatred so deep and profound it transcends death, Harrow and Commander Wake would probably get along.
Think about it! Wake is a leader driven by such passionate hatred that it inspires her entire movement, to the point where they’re still putting up posters pf her twenty years after she died! And Harrow, who’s been bearing the responsibility of keeping her entire religion alive by herself for nearly that long, would definitely respect the hell out of that!
AND Wake was in a doomed relationship with not one, but TWO of her mortal enemies AT THE SAME TIME! And Harrow, who is such a hopeless romantic that on the edge of death she repeatedly dreams up meet-cutes and coffeeshop aus for her to get with a girl she physically cannot remember, would also respect the hell out of THAT!
I’m just saying, Commander Wake and Harrowhark have a lot in common, and they could probably be friends, if it weren’t for that whole war thing.
#the locked tomb#tlt#harrowhark nonagesimus#commander wake#awake remembrance of these valiant dead#Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead Kia Hua Ko Te Pai Snap Back to Reality Oops There Goes Gravity#maybe they wouldn’t be BESTIES#but there’d definitely be some mutual respect and understanding

Commander Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead Kia Hua Ko Te Pa Snap Back To Reality Oops There Goes Gravity
It sounds funny and memey and at first glance, we see that it's preserving three pieces of cultural history. Let's go deeper.
Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead
From Shakespeare's Henry V, but also saying that we remember everyone who died because of you.
Kia Hua Ko Te Pai
From New Zealand's national anthem God Defend New Zealand, meaning "Let Goodness Flourish".
John is Māori and he speaks Te Reo Māori, as evidenced by him naming his daughter Kiriona (the Te Reo Māori translation of Gideon in the bible), and his friends saying he looked like a Māori pink panther.
John, a self-proclaimed God, failed to defend New Zealand. And he cannot Let Goodness Flourish. Making him say it aloud is massive fuck you.
Snap Back To Reality, Oops There Goes Gravity
Obviously a funny reference to Eminem's Lose Yourself, but there's two parts here.
"Snap Back To Reality" as in. Stop running from this and own up to what you did. This isn't a fun fairy tale. Humanity is fractured and broken because of you.
"Oops There Goes Gravity" as in. You destroyed the earth and MADE US FLEE INTO SPACE.
Making Jod say this aloud is a massive fuck you because her entire name

also I know we meme on wake's full name but imo it's like that for more reasons than just a joke. it's about how a lyric removed from its context is removed from its meaning, and how that's something worth mourning. it's about names as a vehicle for the preservation of a lost culture. it's about oral history as a tremendous ten thousand year long force. it's about how no lyric is empty of cultural meaning and a song by eminem is as culturally vital as a line from shakespeare or from a national anthem, especially when your business is grieving the culture that created it
#it's about BOE as a group who's approach to grief is vengeance#and how that is STILL an approach to grief#the locked tomb: oops! all grief. its grief again#Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead Kia Hua Ko Te Pai Snap Back to Reality Oops There Goes Gravity#commander wake#awake remembrance of these valiant dead#tlt#the locked tomb
