#The Ninth

[douche-canoe-regatta]

when you think about it, the Ninth (for all their ghoulish Ambiance) is remarkably less fucked up than the other houses? yeah they have spooky scary skeletons and dress like douchebags but when it comes to warfare they don't seem particularly interested in straight-up torturing people to death, which is unfortunately a fucking anomaly.

I mean, sure. being gangbanged to death by skeletons isn't a fantastic way to go but it's probably a lot better than whatever the Second is up to with their "die screaming 😇" power move or the Fourth's ingenious "throw exploding teenagers at it!!" gambit. I don't know exactly what tickles the Eighth's giblets but I imagine they explain mid-murder why it is Just and Right that you're being killed as they glow you to death, which is just insulting.

at least getting drafted into the skeleton army is probably more like your bones moving one way and your meat....staying still? then the meat gets turned into to soap or candles or whatever (so eco friendly!) and the bones garden shitty vegetables for a few hundred/thousand years. c'est la mort.

the Ninth aren't known to be cannibals or corpsefuckers. they don't seem interested in exploding teens (however awful they are) or slonking away at your spirit until you're a bag of wet skin filled with teeth demons or w/e. they ALSO don't expect anyone to follow their weird religion unless you really want to (but why would you though) and, after all, they only killed ONE itty bitty generation! just a couple hundred kids! so much less horrifying!!

If anyone needs good plural-coded books to read, from Tamsyn Muir:

-Gideon the Ninth -Harrow the Ninth -Nona the Ninth (+ trans rep!) We're only a few chapters into Nona and are blown away. Lesbian necromancers in gothic space with plural and queer rep? Fuck yeah. You can't do better.

I will put up a warning for Harrow the Ninth, half the book addresses YOU the reader as one of the characters. Lots of "You said, he stabbed his sword at you, you took off down the hall" type of language so if you're a System that splits fictives easily, I'd be careful. We were worried we'd get a new fictive but thankfully it seems we're safe ^_^
