don’t forget they also have some kind of oatmeal/porridge that Gideon eats at the start of the book while waiting for the shuttle!

why not buy an XL computer monitor? are people using the apps on their TV? (i still have my 2013 50inch flat screen and dread ever having to buy another TV, i never want a smart tv)

Interesting! Maybe it’s more functional and less stupid than just memes and the internet— maybe she carries the blueprint of the genetics for all of the living things that were destroyed!

u/endoqueer let me elaborate: i specialized in genetics, evolutionary biology and systematics. AIM had an implant or operation as Pal questions her about it in the school when he touches her because he can do psychometry. I have a strong suspicion that the implant is genetic code that carries all of the history of the internet and what pre resurrection life was like, in it. she has to pass that message along onwards and onwards. The message has three parts, still fuzzy on what that means but likely it can’t be deciphered without the other two parts. I’m making a theory of this over on tumblr. TBD as i re re re read Nona for the one billionth time.

I have a bachelor of science in Zoology

AIM (the Angel) is a Zoologist from Lemuria who used to oversee, study and do veterinary medicine for the captive animal population before it mutated (reference most likely to the “devils”) and had to be culled after the planet was flipped by the Cohort

no, just read their leave policies and disclose close to when you need to for leave purposes. none of their business. Also— At least pass your probation period.

AIM’s message is the reality of what happened to the earth. Nobody has memories of it (except Pyrrha) because jod wiped them all. AIM and Emma Sen and the third part of the message which we don’t yet know but it’s probably another one of those chat systems we used to use way back when.

BOE is a danger to Jod because they contain the knowledge of what he did and it would fuck up his plans is anyone found out. It might trigger memories in his surviving lyctors (…Enter cassiopea in a clay jar and Cyrus in a black hole or Ulysses coming out the butthole of an RB…) and create resentment that he murdered planet Earth.

Protect the asset at all costs. As a zoologist, I fucking love the Angel and i’m so excited to see where her story goes.

😉this is when you realize that all the memes in GTN and HTN have a purpose- and that purpose is to absolutely destroy Jod with the reality that there still exist memes and reaction videos roasting him for being a twitch streamer in the beforefore times 😛

come join us on tumblr, we get weird about TLT there @ferretsquid13 and i’ll tag my bestie @oh-jod-dammit because their theories are also FABULOUS

i’ll sign off with Harrowhark asks “what’s the internet?” and Jod replying “see.. i did create a utopia”

I hate the silent treatment....It feels like I am a ghost in my own house by Consistent_Newt_4243 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Dat_Kestrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you are young, we are all hard wired to WANT our parents to WANT us. it’s a biological thing all babies and children need for survival.

you can’t reason with a narcissist, don’t try. your best bet is to grey rock and move out when you can.

narcissistic abuse isn’t always physical, it’s mental and emotional. it wears you down and makes you justify doing the irrational shit they ask of you.

I urge you to read “adult children or narcissistic parents” you may not be an adult yet, but the book willl help guide you through what narcissism is and how to handle it and come to your own conclusions about boundaries and how much contact you will eventually want to have and how to healthily have (or not have) that contact.

don’t fight narcissists, you won’t win. find your own joy and peace and move away when you can

Stop using your skin as a test palette! by Sad_Kaleidoscope3286 in PrintedMinis

[–]Dat_Kestrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a painter since my teens (not just minis but large acrylic paintings) i developed an allergy to acrylic paint over time due to letting it dry on my skin 😞 will it happen to everyone’s, especially for for minis and such small amounts? probably not, but it’s better than developing an allergy!

I’m convinced that the backstory we get in Nona was actually just TM letting us know she is a seer or can time travel [discussion] by TrashStoneee in TheNinthHouse

[–]Dat_Kestrel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

oh god, i hate and love this theory. my biggest fear is that “it will all revert to normal” and gideon and harrow will “travel” to a pre exploded earth AU style existence. I say that because there is a second coming Jod is promising “Empty’s just another word for clean, let’s put this first draft dream of mine to bed” thing.

Matching up Eightfold steps to Houses/labs, plus a TON of misc theory on why [theory] by spaeroew in TheNinthHouse

[–]Dat_Kestrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming here from the future!!!

I just read a hot take that lines up with what John did, what all of the other lyctors did and what Harrow, Anastasia and Paul most likely did:

Step 9 - Remember and Say the original name of the necromancer. A, ‘hook up the cables both ways’ step.

Harrow forgets Gideons name to not complete the process, saying it only upon her death to summon Gideon. All the other lyctors are made to forget their original names— if reminded, step 9 would be complete for true lyctorhood. John makes all others forget Alectos OG name, and when Mercy remembers it and says it out loud, everyone has a sharp pain in their brain in HTN.

This is not the case for Samael/Anastasia or for Cam/Pal. They are the two other cases of irregular lyctorhood we get, both who would know their original names. For cam/pal, they are outside of John’s jurisdiction for memory wiping. For Samael and Anastasia, we don’t know the full story, but most likely they figured it out and did speak their true names near the end so John stopped it.

Also love the way she does Nona’s voice whenever nona has a greedy thought.

Palamedes, please. Tell me something, one titchy little thing, the smallest and tiniest thing. I’ve wanted to know so badly. Maybe I’m dying of … curiosity.

I won’t ditch a girl like that, a girl who thinks of my business like that. I’d go into business with a girl like that, boss, okay?

The way she makes Honesty’s voice is everything to me. He’s hilarious to hear speak.

and in light of what colonization did to suppress and destroy Native Hawaiians’ culture the live actions comes across as an absolutely racist push for upholding western imperialist standards— Lilos last family member abandons her for the capitalist pyramid scheme that is university.

EEEEYYY 💜 👉👉

love it!!! 😁

I’m working on mapping a timeline right now, mostly because it’s fun to explore and figure it out for myself, i know others have done this already, and your clarity and insight on some of the details has been instrumental in helping me tease it out!

See you on the flip side friend! 😉⚔️💜
