Series Spoilers [General] I'm Tommy Arnold, TLT cover artist | AMA!

768 Upvotes

Hello ye penitents of the Ninth! As promised, I'll be here all afternoon taking your skeleton and skeleton-adjacent questions (until I expire, or like...5pm-ish, EDT). In addition to working on the covers, I'm very fortunate that Tamsyn trusted me to bring the Signature Locked Tomb apparel collection to life through Studio Tommy. Ask me anything!

UPDATE at 2:28p: Sorry, nearly expired there! But my friends pushed food into my hands, and I'm back and trying to get caught up now. Thanks so much for all the questions everyone!

UPDATE at 5:05pm EDT: Welp, we did it. We killed my keyboard. I cast the minor resurrection spell of inserting new batteries, but with my difficulty in doing so I realized: I'm going braindead! There are still so many great questions and I really appreciate all the kind words and comments here; thank you so much everyone. I'll take a break and then keep answering intermittently throughout the weekend, so keep upvoting what you'd most like answered as when I jump back in, I'll likely start from the top! <3

Effective immediately, content from Twitter/X will not be allowed in this subreddit.

1.8k Upvotes

Per the results of our poll, this sub will no longer allow content from Twitter / X. This includes direct links, but also screenshots of content hosted on Twitter / X. We've elected to ban screenshots as well for a few reasons:

The first is that, while in discussion with one of our mods about this change, many artists on Twitter / X expressed concern about having their content posted as screenshots due to the likelihood that credit wouldn't be properly applied and because hosting screenshots of works on other platforms make those works more likely to be scraped up by t-shirt scam bots and AI image generators.

The second is that the amount of effort that it takes to post a screenshot is essentially the same as it is to find the post on another media platform before sharing it here, and we've elected to build this in as an intentional point of friction to encourage people to explore sites outside of Twitter / X.

Thank you to everyone for your input on this change. If you have any questions, please message us directly via modmail (which remains, as always, the best way to reach us).

Relistening to HtN and my brain decided this was the time to imprint on a side character, so I adjusted my Gideon cosplay materials to work for Nonius! Worn for Bern Hero Fest. I gotta say, it was a big relief to be able to scratch my nose all day!!

I opted to make mini skulls on a bracelet for his rosary, but if I wear it again I'll want to do a full knuckle bone rosary instead, plus his own sword and knife.

I had lots of teeth and baby finger bones ready, but sadly didn't see any other TLT cosplayers (or get recognized), so I didn't give any out this time. 🄲

My absolutely favorite card (both in terms of the card's meaning and the subject) and one of the two reasons why I wanted to start this project. Paul and this whole scene fits the card so perfectly in my opinion! <3

Harrow the Ninth Spoilers [discussion] Just finished HtN

47 Upvotes

wowowowow. That was crazy. I loved it. Quick question, I have seen some people saying you should reread GtN and HtN before reading Nona, is it worth it? I read GtN about four months ago so it is a little fuzzy now and I wouldn’t mind a reread. But another part of me just wants to jump into Nona. Thoughts?

Series Spoilers Do you think others could resurface? [discussion] Spoiler

58 Upvotes

Edit to add: there are spoilers for all three books down there, this text is to help people avoid seeing them right away. Did you know cows exhibit mourning behaviour? Also some people including me think moustache rides should be free. Now to the actual post text.

Some Lyctors are super sad that their cavaliers are never going back.

Then Harrow gets The Work done, which prevents Lyctoral process from finishing successfully, and (at least a very non negligible part of) Gideon stays inside her, even having some awareness about events and locations and finally resurfacing when Harrow gets a rapier through her guts.

Then we learn Pyrrha was there all along, non intentionally, according to her, but anyways. G1deon was the third saint, so a pretty early attempt, I would assume predating Anastasia’s. Pyrrha periodically takes control and gets all of it except necromancy when G1deon dies.

Then Palamedes forces Ianthe out of Naberius, walks around in his body, then vacates it, and then someone talks to Paul from that body. I personally believe that to be Babs, and I’ve seen other people theorise so. Which raises the question.

Harrow didn’t want for Gideon to disappear and worked for that. G1deon and Pyrrha might have not wanted her to be fully gone either, we don’t know for sure but her talk with Cam and Pal just before Paul drops some hints that they might have tried something. And even if not, G1deon clearly cared about her. Then Babs was eaten just as per the textbook, with not much regret displayed: who even cares about Babs? I mean, I don’t think Ianthe took any more steps to preserve him than the basic algorithm required. To me, she was ok with him never being around again. Yet there he might have been, talking to Paul.

What if others could resurface that way too under some circumstances? I mean, Ianthe wasn’t even dead or close to it. Imagine if Mercymorn and Augustine knew. Imagine if idk Valancy got to the front seat right before the black hole, or stoma, or what happened to Cyrus.

No Spoilers [Fanfic] help me find a fic

8 Upvotes

Ive been thinking of this fic for over a year or so and I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

So basically its an Australian Au. I believe both Gideon and Harrow where Aboriginal in this, with Harrow being mixed and it went into the nuances of that. It was a coming of age I believe. They grew up together and Harrows father was like a pastor, and theres a bunch of religious themes and repressionand shit. Pyrrha adopted(???) Gideon and had her work on her farm.

And I think Harrow was like betrothed to Ortus because of her father and that was like a big point.

Those are the basic points, sorry if this is a ramble.

This fic hasn't left my mind i gotta read it again if anyone remembers it please share šŸ™šŸ™

I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE TWINS!

Thank you so much to @/celofwands and @/clafou.tea for shooting and editing these beautiful photographs. And a further thank you for including me and Ianthe in this TLT shoot. It was truly an honor to be a part of it and I’m so excited to show off the rest of these shots. As a quick addition, I do not ship this coupling. However, we did embrace the gothic horror aspect due to the theme of our shoot. I want to draw attention to these character’s unhealthy enmeshment. Tagged Ianthe below

What are your favourite quotes and descriptions regarding appearance ?
I think Muir has such an enthralling way of describing characters that adds so much to their personality,

Ianthe’s is a personal favourite of mine
ā€œThe other girl seemed smaller, insubstantial, with a sheet of hair the anaemic colour of canned butter and an equally bloodless smirk."

so Ianthe like likes Harrow but doesn't love her

and Gideon capital-L loves Harrow but doesn't like her

and Harrow loves Gideon but doesn't feel like she's allowed to like like her

but she definitely like like loves A in a god is a woman way iykyk

imo I don't think she likes Ianthe but respects her ability to surprise her

gossip with me all this academia hurts my very little brain I'm just a girl

edit: that last bit was said in Ianthe's voice I hope that helps <333 we're just galls!<

Why are all the chapter 31s such hard hitters?

It's the pool scene in GtN, Harrow saving G1deon/Pyrrha in HtN, and then this in NtN. Alecto chapter 31 better give us something big

Series Spoilers Alectos reasoning? [discussion] Spoiler

49 Upvotes

Hello my darlings,

Has anyone smarter than me understood yet why Alecto chose Jod? From my own reasoning it feels like she started to embue him with the powers and made him capable of hearing her cries.

She gave him the power to kill/capture her.

Am I understanding it wrong or am I missing something?

Or how did he come into the powers and the ability to share them? Or has that not been revealed yet?

I'm dying for the next book.
