Hi, I just finished reading Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth in a week, and ummmmmmm WE’VE HIT HYPERFIXATION LADS.
For the occasion, I’ve been crafting memes and sending them to my one irl friend who’s read them, to cope, until my coworker was like ....damn sounds like something tumblr would be into. Can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself, bc duh.
HtN specific memes under the cut.
Chapter 49 be like...

The danger is upon you, and you do not even know. They are coming out of their tower, salt thing. There is a hole at the bottom of their tower. I will pull their teeth. I will make it blank for you.
Read Gideon the Ninth and She Who Became The Sun on your recommendation, just finished Nona the Ninth and am currently losing my mind over Leech. Thank you.
yessssssssss join me in losing my mind over the sheer quality and variety of books Tor publishes! they're really putting out some groundbreaking, genre-bending, and genderspinning SF/F works and I'm kind of in love?? Leech has lowkey been one of my favorite books all year, which I really wasn't expecting. "medical gothic horror" they said "how fun could it be?" I thought, and then by the time I was halfway through I was screaming about dog noses and so much maddening snow and also the slow consuming horror of being integrated into a hive mind
hey hey hey @torbooks can I get a high five and also a book rec for anon and me for an upcoming title you've got next year?
I have my numerous complaints about the timeless child arc/reveal however the amount that it reframes time lords as being a very similar pseudo-species to necromancers IS incredibly appealing to me because if there's one thing I can do it's make fucked up connections between fucked up guys. Anyway I think we should put Thirteen and John Gaius in a room together. In this essay I will-
Yanno it really is amazing because I know I have seen Nona the Ninth spoilers and yet something about nature of the story, the plot, Muir’s writing, and what people are posting has made these spoilers so goddamn incomprehensible I don’t even remember or understand what’s been spoiled.
