“Queer space” and it’s a general admission concert for a few thousand people. Please be serious. We’re losing more rights every year, and it’s sure as hell not because some cishet man went to a Chappell Roan show with his girlfriend… grow up. 😂
Both have a widow’s peak. And similar builds. Yellow perfect lyctor eyes…I’m telling you this is Harrow’s body, with a happy, nice, memory-less Gideon driving it. Together they are NONA, not the Ninth. And yet also literally, the ninth. 💀

Also concerts are ungodly expensive now, which hurts sales too. Pre-pandemic I'd go to 2-3 shows a week sometimes! A lot were free because I got tix from friends' jobs. But like...now most of us go to 2-3 concerts A YEAR. Even the work freebies have dried up.
Fresh Alecto news straight from my friend at San Diego Comic Con: she spoke to Tamsyn’s publicist at the Tor booth who “confirmed that Tamsyn is alive and actively working on Alecto.” So it 100% sounds like it is still not done being written… 💀

Straight out of Tamsyn Muir’s mouth: She is “nominally not sure” Alecto will be a 2023 book. It’s done, but “hasn’t gone through the editing process yet”. It is a “chungus” & “chonky boi.” It’s for sure the end of the series. (Per the below podcast interview.)

I actually know who owns that house, I’ve followed her blog & socials for years. Not sure why it’s for sale, but she is OK / still around, and said she’s downsizing to an apartment. Assuming it’s probably sadly somehow $$ related. 🥺
One big thing that I hope happens the most in Alecto the Ninth is that Alecto retains her Nona-ability to read body language. And totally roasts the shit out of Gideon and Harrow once she sees the two of them together. She’s gonna be like this:
I know us TLT fandom ppl are anxiously waiting for any scrap of Alecto news. But maybe some of the newer ppl here don’t realize Tamsyn released 3 different short stories in the past couple years? Undercover especially is PHENOMENAL. The other 2 stories are in these anthologies:
Seeing lots of talk of Locked Tomb fan casts today, so I’m throwing this one in the running: Ismael Enrique Cruz Córdova (from The Rings of Power!) as The Saint of Duty, Gideon Prime, and Pyrrha Dve.

Sometimes I think about what if Tor had used the Warren Ellis quote from the Gideon manuscript instead of Charles’ quote on the cover. Maybe then weirdos wouldn’t keep insisting *only lesbians* can read & enjoy the Locked Tomb. Ppl really need to stop policing who can read what.
Further update on this: my friend spoke to the Tor publicist again today, and said she “confirmed Tamsyn is still writing. No update on potential release time frame.”
So yes, still writing, NOT in edits yet…

You know what else absolutely wrecks me whenever I see it? This paragraph. Getting the overwhelming urge to reread Harrow the Ninth for like the 20th time. (It’s the mental illness.)
#NtNSpoilers
Other people have pointed this out too. But has the eventual endgame of the series been staring us in the face this whole time?? 👀
Gideon the kindly Prince of Death! And Harrowhark the Resurrector and full-pitying Prime! (Whatever that means?!) 💀

freaks. Selling the rarest Gideon the Ninth I have. 1st ed 9th printing red copy from 2020. SIGNED by Tamsyn, also in red. I have *never* seen another of these signed listed for sale. $250 + shipping. Help a broke girl pay her bills. ♥️💀
I love the Locked Tomb fandom, because people are thirsty for every single adult character in the books. It doesn’t matter if they’re 20 or 10,000 years old. Or if they only have a handful of lines. Somebody on twitter wants to fuck them. 🥰
🧵: A few notes from the
#NonaTheNinth
webinar for librarians and booksellers that happened today: “The pool scene is “the nexus of all intimacy” - Tamsyn
The skull of a crowned athlete with a gold wreath in the shape of a laurel branch still attached to it is perhaps one of the most impressive exhibits in Greece.
The flesh disintegrated after 2,500 years, but the wreath stuck and remained on the skull. Inside the mouth, a silver
You ever think about how Gideon’s aviator sunglasses have inexplicably survived through all 3 novels? And how twice now they’ve hid a character’s true identity/eye color?
Obviously she’s too good of an actress to forever be type cast as a “knife girl.” But Amita Suman would sure make an excellent Camilla Hect. Just imagine her with a bob haircut! 😍
I don’t think any line in TLT hits me harder than “you cant take loved away.” Because of that scene in the book, and also how it relates to my own life. A bad ending doesn’t discount all the love that came before it. Death doesn’t erase love. 🖤
Re: bullying etc—I’ve seen a few ppl mention that they love that Tamsyn isn’t online a ton. Or wonder why she’s not promoting Nona? She’s not here because she got bullied off the Internet by fucking antis 2 years ago. This heartbreaking interview tells why:
I still need to watch Wednesday, but tbh I’m kinda surprised by everyone saying she’s exactly like Harrowhark. Harrow is GLEEFULLY evil at the start of GtN. She has very animated facial expressions and behaviors, and isn’t the same sort of “monotone” flat Wednesday can be.
