i did a thing

MDZS (novel) :

72 named characters

50 dead (including wen ning, song lan, and wei wuxian)

conclusion: 69% chance of death, with a 4.2% chance of conscious return to life.

MDZS (any and all media) :

77 named characters

55 dead

conclusion: 72% chance of death anywhere in the mdzs-verse.

TGCF:

44 named characters (clones and alter egoes not counted)

16 permanently dead

14 ghosts

16 gods

conclusion: 36% chance of permanent death, 32% chance of dying and becoming a ghost, 36% chance in ascending.

here's the percentage, but skewed with the ghost deaths: 73%

SVSSS (svsss only, no pidw):

41 named characters

12 dead, + 1 linguang-jun missing +1 shen yuan +1 shang qinghua

conclusion: 37% chance of death/missing, 4.9% chance of returning via transmigration

conclusion of conclusions: great mxtx, why did you have to do that to mdzs????? they're all dead......

unfortunately for jon snow, the role of "dead girl haunting the narrative" is already occupied by his mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, grandmother and step mother x2 so he's going to have to be forcibly resurrected :/

song taewon is koreas normalest s-class until you remember 'the protection of an s-class may resemble violence' and his first solo interaction with yoojin was strangling him and then as soon as he realized yoojins value he tried to 'protect' yoojin by making him afraid of all s-classes....

could you help explain something? when alecto surfaces in nona and scolds pyrrha for "playing mother and father" and insists that she should have eaten them - "i would have respected you much more for it" - what did she mean? as in, she shouldn't have gotten caught up in the sixth's business, and instead abandoned them to boe and go to the half-flipped moon by herself? or am i missing something??

OH I LOVE THAT PART. I also have no clue! It's such a punchy passage, but I have no idea of what it could possibly mean. "Eating someone" in TLT is mostly associated with Lyctorhood, in the sense of consumption, but I doubt that's what Alecto is referring to, since she's talking specifically to Pyrrha.

Or, like you suggest, she could simply be using "eating" as a shorthand for 'take advantage of' — it fits with whatever little we get of Alecto's vocabulary and thought patterns — and saying that she should've just looked after herself and left, instead of dedicating herself to a lost cause.

I also have no clue if when she says "US" she means Nona + Cam and Pal, or she means herself (Alecto + Nona and all her disjointed memories) or she means Alecto and whatever soul fragment is inside her (personally, I believe that a bit of Gideon's soul is inside Harrow's body.) Or she could even be saying "US" to mean herself and Varun as Resurrection Beasts, though that's less likely.

I think you're probably right and she's just using a very carnal metaphor to say that Pyrrha should have left, but like... I'm not ruling out that there's a more literal explanation that will introduce a new worldbuilding / "magical system" related element in AtN, just because I never know what to expect from this series. I'm once again so fascinated by the glimpses that we get of Alecto's personality because she's such an enigma.

For context, this is the full passage

(It also comes right after Nona telling Pyrrha that she shouldn't make Nona remember who she is, because Pyrrha "wouldn't like" what happens)

do you two know each other’s favorite colors

Sheesh, my bad, didn’t know you hated my main man red so much!

I don’t—I don’t hate it. It is simply not my favorite; that’s what the original question was about, was it not?

Well, what is it then?

What?

What’s your favorite?

…

…

…

Seriously? It’s way too late to pretend like you don’t have one! You already said it wasn’t red, so what is it!

…

…Pink. And green. It’s a pleasant color combination—if I recall correctly, they are…they are...They go well together.

No lie, those are pretty swag colors…….so what about mine?

Yours?

Do you know my favorite color?

Of course I don’t, why would I?

You’re such a bad friend, man!

We are not friends.

Hope you got a pen nearby ‘cause you better be writing this down: I like……………..ALL colors! My favorite is everrrrrrryyyyy color!

Absolute nonsense. How is every single color your favorite? Do you even know what that word means? It—

Oh, so you can like pink and green, but I can’t like every color? Huh?

It’s only two compared t—

But doesn’t ‘favorite color’ imply that, whatever it may be, it is a singular hue? Isn’t it atrociously incorrect for you to list two separate colors? Shouldn’t—

Stop it. I do not sound like that.

Yeah, yeah, and your favorite color isn’t red, we’ve all heard it

IT IS NOT—

Shout out to Mr Crispe actually, and his strangely compelling little background story arc.

He's mentioned quite a few times throughout the series.

He's present somewhere on deck for the 'return' of Strong/Evans, is mentioned by name by both Tozer and Hickey in relation to various mutinous designs, is one of several men looking shifty at Hickey's hanging, and is present also for Tozer and Des Voeux's weird wee mutinous conversation in the fog.

But then of course we see that he didn't go along with Hickey and co. in the end but stayed with the main group and is there for the Lawful Mutiny/Nedward' betrayal too...

Is it something of a plot-hole perhaps and if not, I wonder what his reasons might have been for flirting so closely with mutiny/treason without actually following through?
