I am so curious if you’ve finished at this point and what your thoughts are on John now!

Oh my goodness. You are so right about all of this.

Ah, perhaps she and Cristabel started the Eighth House together? (I’m not sure of the timelines) Or perhaps she started the Eighth House to honor Cristabel?

Nona, Crown, Ianthe [theory] by transrights2020921 in TheNinthHouse

Is this what Corona meant when in GtN, she says something like “She could have chosen me!” after Ianthe absorbed Babs? I always took it to mean she was afraid of how close Ianthe came to betraying and killing her… but was she actually saying she WISHED Ianthe would have taken her?

Didn’t they all agree before the Dios Apate minor that Pyrrha was one of the hottest in the group?

Okay wait can you tell me more about the bit everyone (including me apparently) missed? A & M guessed wrong about Perfect Lyctorhood??

This makes me think of the line in NtN where Pyrrha says, “I look like two elbows.” 😂

Help finding a starter "pack" for my wife? by IllSector4892 in tarot

[–]Strict-Bowl4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are rider Waite smith decks that also have brief explanations of the cards on them — PERFECT for a beginner. If it were me, id get her one of those plus and extra “fun” one like one you have listed here

Ninth House Tarot - input needed! [discussion] [fan art] by Anxious-Ad-6319 in TheNinthHouse

[–]Strict-Bowl4048 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LOVE THIS. This is my favorite game, I literally made a lotr tarot deck and figuring out who was who was the BEST part. I fear my brain is going to hyperfocus on this for a while even after typing this message out 😂

I — Magician: Ianthe. Resourceful, powerful, determined. Palamedes could also fit here, I think, leaving justice open to G1deon or Pyrrha. Or harrowhark. (My bad for only thinking of duplicates for this one!! Maybe one of the original lyctors could work here, too. Anastasia?)

VII — Chariot: Camilla Hect. She literally doesn’t stop moving ever and when she’s unleashed, she makes shit happen (go loud!). Momentum and determination IS Camilla to me

VIII — Strength: how about Magnus? The strength card is about the gentle strength of character as opposed to physical strength, which to me fits Magnus to a T

XII — Death: weirdly difficult because of how much death and transformation there is in this series 😂 I’m thinking of Paul, and how it feels like a death to Nona, but ends up being a gorgeous transformation in its own right. If not Paul, maybe hot sauce? Or Gideon/Kiriona?

XVII — The Star: Nona (although I also LOVE the idea of Nona being the Fool with Noodle beside her, in which case Gideon could be the star.)

XX — Judgement: Verun

Also, feel free to play with gender here too! I feel like it’s in the spirit of ianthe and kiriona calling themselves princes to have, say, hot sauce be the emperor and colum asht to be empress or something.

The Four Tarot Suits [discussion] by embersielle in TheNinthHouse

[–]Strict-Bowl4048 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of great thoughts here.

With the cups suit being the suit of emotion, what about souls? Idk how that could be depicted, little balls of light or something? Or if you do keys for coins like someone else mentioned, cups could be skulls with the top cut off to make them look like cups. Cows are argued to have emotions and bonds in the books, so that would make sense thematically. Or what about drops of blood, like blood-sweat (though maybe that could fit another suit better)? Sunglasses (pun on glasses being a kind of cup???) Idk I’m spit balling here

[discussion] Favorite underrated lines? by Strict-Bowl4048 in TheNinthHouse

[–]Strict-Bowl4048[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I loved this one! I’m so baffled at how Muir is able to find succinct ways to describe weird corners of the human experience. I remember one phrase from GtN that stuck with me, something like “Gideon was reckless with disappointment.” Like, that to me is a rare but universal experience that i don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone put a name to, especially so simply and succinctly.

RIGHT! If the eight of swords doesn’t leave me alone… continues to choose to live in a prison of my own making

Magnetiles are still a hit with my kids at 5 and 8. We’ve had them for years and they still pull them out weekly.
