i’m amazed that some people have read nona the ninth (the Revenge Is Bad And Futile Book) and have come out of it believing alecto is gonna kill john
#I might eat my words after alecto the ninth#BUT LIKE#IT’S RIGHT THERE IN THE TEXT#IT’S BEEN THERE SINCE BOOK 1#this series is a series about forgiveness#forgiveness even though I had a hand in making your childhood miserable all because love and intimacy were foreign to me and I was scared#forgiveness even though I lied to you and didn’t tell you I was a zombie the one thing you feared most#forgiveness….even though you doomed all of humanity and destroyed me in the name of your own selfish quest for revenge#remember when Cassiopeia basically told john you have to choose between saving what you love or destroying what you hate#IT CANT BE BOTH#john thought it could be both but if you give in to vengeance it will take over all other instincts all other motives#tldr I Still Love You#Alecto was always the real God and the real God is benevolent not vengeful#john almost represents the image of God that Christianity pushes - one interested in meting out punishment#one to whom we have to prove our innocence because we are all fundamentally sinners#this isn’t true#we’re all fundamentally noble#God is all forgiving#ALECTO FORGIVES#I STILL LOVE YOU#post#ntn#nona the ninth#alecto the ninth#the locked tomb
