The thoughts I have about John the emperor colonizing space and remaking it in his image giving Gideon a Māori name (and not just a Māori name, but specifically a Christian biblical Māori name) as part of his claiming and remaking of her. Gideon/Kiriona being ethnically Māori ⁠— like, genuinely the daughter of someone ethnically and culturally Māori as that concept exists in the 21st century ⁠— but having no frame of reference for what that means because Māori culture has been dead for 10,000 years and her father killed it and stands as its last survivor. The last living person in the universe to be explicitly canonically Indigenous to Aotearoa gives his daughter a name in its language as a means of staking the flag of his empire on her and enlisting her into its colonial forces. There’s something intelligent to be said here and I’m not landing on it, but it does make me feel insane to think about.

Every time I remember that Pyrrha has never seen Palamedes’s face I suddenly want to jump into a trash compactor.

I guess I just don't see the Catholicism and the weird bloody horny elements of TLT being at odds with eachother. This is the cannibalism-as-sacrament, yonic sidewound, St-Catherine-drinking-pus-as-penance, gilded bones religion. Erotic Christ-as-mother mystic visions have kind of been a thing for a while

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.

Nona is so sweet, and she's so happy and loves her tiny family and friends. This book is going to cut the heart right out of me, isn't it
