#the body tlt

Does being part of a lyctorhood qualify you for custody rights?

Yes I am determined to make all of the dynamics in this book as awkward as possible…to be fair I don’t really have to try that much

(Btw I haven’t read Nona yet so no spoilers in the comments plz)

the body ever-watching

version without the texture:

[c-rowlesdraws]

"We're talking low prices."

It's Alecto, in her favorite t-shirt that she never got to wear from another life! I do hope there's still some Nona in her somewhere, but I also fully support her on her quest for revenge. Come on, Barbie-- let's go party.

One day this fandom will be ready to discuss how TLT is a commentary on gender and patriarchal violence. And not just "look at the tower princes and harrow and pyrrha and many more, tazmuir has fun with gender!" (although i love these takes), but also "the actions that set this story in motion are the culmination of patriarchal violence."

John kills the earth and feminizes it to control it. Under the patriarchy, control and domination are feminization. John killing the earth and stuffing its soul in the body of a human woman is the ultimate act of control and possession. It is not a coincidence that John imprisons the earth (the only resurrection beast John is able to imprison) in the body of a woman.

The body of a hyper-feminized, westernized human woman. That is the prison the holds the soul of a planet. That is the locked tomb. For tamsyn, thatis the ultimate prison. That's her commentary on the patriarchy. That a hyper-feminized, westernized, built-by-a-man, barbie doll body, is a fucking prison.

I also have more thoughts on John and his role in perpetuating patriarchal violence and being a narcissist but i need to stave off the tlt brainrot until i finish finals lol.

knowing what we now do about pal's ideas about the permeability of souls casts this interaction in a fun new light

This is what Pyrrha looks like on her way to work every morning btw

Thinking about how the soup incident was actually John’s first time eating a person.

For all the other Lyctors, cannibalism reminds them of their cavaliers. Of the worst moments of their lives, killing the person closest to them to ascend. In some cases having the choice made for them, watching them die so that they could live, feeling their bodies go cold as they ate their souls.

But John killed everyone. He did Grand Lysis before Alecto had a body. He ate the earth and tasted his own blood. But he never tasted another person before then.

I think that’s partially why he is so disgusted. He has just partaken in the taboo which he forced upon everyone else. And he’s never even done it himself!

i FINISHED NONA LAST NIGHT witch means i can finally look at the tlt tags on socials and such without fear of spoilers and i did it i survived (not unharmed my heart is broken and ill never recover)

[lemonade-jelly]

IM BACK! i finally had my computer fixed so i immediately made some tlt art (after some oc art ofc)

the style is inconsistent but oh well. her curls arent as defined cus *Trauma*

[cicadascribbles]

Wait hang on you guys, you know when Nona dies in Ntn how her body and organs split at the seams and her skin kinda starts to slough away? That’s like strikingly similar to what happens to people with acute radiation poisoning i.e. nuclear weapons. Irradiated soul Alecto causing Harrow’s body to fall apart?

Gideon Nav can take a compliment so so well, guys.

[ID: A six paneled comic with three scenes from Gideon the Ninth, showing Gideon becoming more and more flustered from compliments. The first shows Aiglamene saying "If she satisfies you, you must let her go," to which Gideon lightly blushes, looking bemused. The next scene shows Dulcinea saying "Oh, singular" as she examines Gideon's eyes, to which Gideon is blushing furiously. The third scene shows Harrow looking at Gideon fondly and saying "You are something else with that sword." This compliment appears to break Gideon, who is blushing so hard it melts her paint, and she has steam exploding from her ears. End ID.]
