Bestie, which characters are these?

>>4357332
I THOUGHT it was Harrowanthe but I just did a little research and it turns out they're the artist's OCs...made even more confusing since the artist also does TLT fanart with the gaybies. Oh well lol

Why did you post that.

>>4357066
>Fingers crossed for Alecto sometime this year!
Has there been any recent update suggesting this is likely?

>>4360094
Maybe they have a race, Alecto, Baru 4th or TOWEM 2 books.

>>4360094
Don't think so, but given everything it'd be disappointing for yet another blank year.

Isn't Muir working on the writing for a tabletop game also. Yeah it's gonna take ages...

>>4360102
>Alecto, Baru 4th or TOWEM 2 books
one day they will all release, have faith sisters

>>4360102
>>4360253
This is the year.

Imagine having a separate general from the book thread and memory holing anything that deviates from the previous thread even though no one had anything new to add otherwise. Is this thread just shilled by the author?

>>4363065
the /lit/ thread told us to make a separate thread because it was too popular. complain to them.

>>4363844
The subject matter is also a bit crazy compared to the usual fare. Talking about necromancy and blood and death alongside regular literature could be a vibe kill.

Lyctor sexo. They definitely got crazier than this though desu

harrow x ianthe is the best ship

>>4378382
The Gideon dynamic really suffers from being put on ice for so long. Muir goes actually hold that thought and then spends a whole book developing Ianthe in heartbreakingly vivid detail.

Having finished Nona the Ninth, the most shocking reveal was
Not the John reveals.
It was
friendship bracelets.

>>4378622
honestly I wasn't super surprised, the 'gall on gall' joke showed that they had similar senses of humor and could get along without the harrow rivalry. I was more shocked that Kiriona was so cold towards Pal and Camilla

>>4376511
schizo mods deleting any actual discussion but leaving futa art, classic.

>>4378917
Uh but that isn't futa it's just the negative space

nona the ninth came out in 2022...

What's taking so long exactly

>>4381501
'damn this shit is taking forever' -tamsyn muir, probably

>>4381501
She's constantly compelled to write a harrianthe ending, and has to start over. She's sitting on several dozen final chapters. One of them even brings back the coffee shop AU from HtN

>>4381503
>>4381521
I’ll forgive her if we get harrianthe marriage at the end

>>4381521
>>4378386
Gideon x Harrow always seemed doomed to me honestly.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Tamsyn did not intend to give them a “happy ending” and was scared to release the final book because 80% of the readers are going to be mad.

>>4381773
I genuinely think for the first book Muir intended for Ianthe to forever be a side character, but exploring the character more in HtN had her fall in love with her characterization. Not that the Gideon dynamic is boring per se, but two young women brought together by forces outside their control and mutually saddled with a power beyond either of their reckonings is kind of fundamentally more interesting than a childhood enemies to lovers setup.

>>4387019
C. waited patiently while this happened.

>>4387033
Why didn't Cytherea just kill everyone while they slept with her huge bone construct? Is she stupid or something?

Oh, to be stranded on a spacecraft with Ianthe.

>>4388929
We need that Ianthe the Third prequel.

>>4357066

>>4388961
Gideon the Ninth is the first one.

Lovely start but there should be way more desu. I mean Harrow sliced a whole arm off, most of the floor should be slick and red and messy. Or maybe she cauterized it shortly after cutting, I actually can't remember.

Welcome back, nonas

>>4413248
Good morning hello. Finally getting back into the fandom after spending most of spring in a hospital.

>>4423765
Dulcinea...

>>4423837
Pretty much. Not to blogpost too hard but it turns out I have MS. It's early enough to be treatable but I'm going to need to be on medication my whole life with flareups every so often regardless. Needless to say, grappling with my own mortality definitely didn't put me in the mood for reading a series about death and life casually intertwined. But we're back now.

I dunno if people care (they don't, but this basically the only social media I use so shh) but I was the anon reading thru the series in December last year. Gird your loins for more analyses.

>>4423886
Thank goodness you are back and on the road to recovery. I missed seeing your posts

>>4387941
She was having fun :)

>>4424060
That's very sweet of you. I have something half written I need to stop procrastinating on but after that the last third of Harrow's book has been silently taunting me from my shelf. And Nona's book is here in the box. Keep an eye out.

Happy 1000 days of alectopause.

I'm able to post pictures again!

>>4432703
That's great sis! now post pictures of Harrow sitting on Ianthe's face

There's something fun about being a 'local' (I guess) fan of the Locked Tomb series, which is that there's places mentioned in it you can visit when trying to fill the time waiting for Alecto to release. This is Dilworth Academy, where John Gaius got his education. It's one of the most prestigious schools in the country.

When I first read Nona and got to that point, I had to put the book down, message my friend who got me into the Locked Tomb, and ask her, 'So, was John Gaius molested?' Rather infamously, Dilworth's had a long history of predator teachers who've used the school's exclusivity to target the student body. Thankfully it seems nothing of the sort happened to John, unless it's revealed in Alecto that he was indeed a victim of the place.

When Alecto finally comes out I'll take a pilgrimage to Greytown, about 6 hours drive south in the middle of nowhere. The site of the great Resurrection.

Cool AMV with relevant song.

I've kinda wanted to make a HTN animatic set to Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails. Starting from the first lyrics "God money, I'll do anything for you" up to end of the chorus. But it would be like 20 different drawings and I'm lazy.

>>4446552
Quite the peculiar choice.

Them

>>4435804
Why do Kiwis live sideways?

>Alecto never
That's OK, I think I might prefer for the ending to be left up in the air because I'm sure it won't be Griddlehark. I just hope the fanfic community doesn't run out of steam, this is easily one of the fandoms with the highest quality writers out there.

>>4476788
The fanfic thread has always been worthless and full of autists who only watch het series, so can you recommend some Locked Tomb fanfics knowledgable anon?

>>4489335
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is unfathomable levels of peak. It's like the 4th book in the series for me at this point I sometimes forget stuff from it isn't canon

>>4357066
>Fingers crossed for Alecto sometime this year!

we're now almost a year in and still no word
this might be the biggest copium thread on /u/. At least TOWEM fans knows their second book will never come out

Expectations for this year?

>>4516080
None whatsoever. But hey, it could always be worse. I'm expecting a HL3 situation where Alecto just appears from out of nowhere after a decade's wait.

Anyone who doesn't cape for the Gideon/Ianthe endgame is a dummy.

Tired of fanfic writers making Harrow femme because they can't comprehend butch 4 butch can exist.
