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.
