For me, I guess, the locked tomb is really superficially a good story and has lots of aspects that are good in isolation and appeal to a wide variety of queer readers but I think this series would have been better and more satisfying if Ms Muir had leaned more into the gothic and away from the internet humor. In my mind there’s no reason why each House wouldn’t be entrenched so deeply in things we consider taboo and repulsive that it’s unpalatable to most readers. Instead it’s like if Homestuck 2 was good

#the locked tomb #this is not necessarily negative posting I own all 3 in hardcover I’ve paid my dues to this series #I was thinking about people’s revulsion towards campal shipping even tho it’s like. textual.#like not everyone ships wincest but you can see why people drew that conclusion right? it’s like that #but can u imagine if it went a liiiiiiittle bit further with the weird shit #‘Lauren it’s already weird’ yeah but what if it was more weird and Ianthe didn’t quote SNL #and also the plot was explored in each book and she didn’t write herself into a GRRM-style corner #tlt #talk #this is like Mickey talking about firefly. it would be so good if it were good (owns all of it)
