how do you feel about the theory that Summer is June
Im championing that theory, i fully believe it and am 100% on board, and have been thinking about it non stop.
theres clearly been a lot of indication towards the dawn machine in the story, with tatterdemlion being an ex? sequencer and the machine being referenced multiple times. it shows some signs that it may very well be coming up more in the future
we also know that Summer is an engineer, and while FBG originally called June the architect of the dawn machine, plenty of folks don't really know the difference between an architect and an engineer lmao.
(and also this is from 2018 and the change in title could have been retconned)
She clearly knows more about this book situation then us if her searching for something in particular in the book is any indication.And in one option of her singing, the combination of singing of the sun and the stars and singing about liberty and the end of all tyrants...
...and i mean, come on, she tells us to call her Summer. She has a sun earring in her art! she's wearing yellow! Hardly subtle!
There's clearly some level of implication here, and I think we are right to be sucipicious.
The matter of how, exactly, is where we get caught up. However we know the library is a holder of the things that Aren't Allowed, and a possessor of alternative timelines and existences.... something weird could be afoot. And i have a hunch that further aspect of Firmament could be leading into the judgments and light...... it would only make sense, for artifical light to come up too...

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.
Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)
