theres something so incredibly painful and meaningful about nona deciding to live just because a dog is in the truck. just noodle, this weird little six-legged dog that nona only knew for a handful of months in her already short life that she loved so deeply. tazmuir goes to painstaking extents to illustrate all the horrible things that come as a result of love (paul, jod’s backstory, pyrrha/g1deon/wake, ianthe and corona, gideon and harrow, etc) but this little, pivotal moment illustrates the beauties of it. nona is all about love, she loves without reason, she loves her little life and her little family and her school and her friends and noodle. noodle, who is just a dog, who can’t speak or express his love like humans do, but shows it nonetheless. because noodle is a dog, and dogs love without reason, just like nona (just like the earth). when everything and everyone that nona loves is falling apart, when she’s lost in all those horrors of love and chaos and destruction and her brain is breaking down and she’s losing what it means to Be Nona, noodle is still there, loving her regardless. and because she’s still nona, she loves him back. and she lives for love, even for just a few minutes longer. for a dirty little six-legged dog that wasn’t even hers, because she can’t let what she loves die if she has the choice (the power, for once). it’s beautiful and heartbreaking and the last decision she ever made was to live with her horrible, painful existence so that a dog (who couldn’t choose) wouldn’t die.

#g txt #tlt #the locked tomb #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #ntn spoilers #GOD…. god…….. #ntn just spends its whole time showing how drastically different nona and jods love is #like… jod loved to the point of destruction but nona loved to the point of existence #when everything was tumbling down around them jod watched his friends die without remorse and used them to kill the earth #he killed all he loved and wiped clean the slate #but nona sees everything she loves dying and changing and wants to go too. but she stays. #because who is she if not someone who loves and wants to be loved #she’s terrified of not remembering that love. but jod erases the memory of love for the sake of his own ease #nona lives with pain for love. and jod kills everything he loves and gives no choice in it. #those tags arent worded exactly right BUT U GET MY POINT YEAH. #g

God, I can't stop thinking about what Camilla's internal dialogue must be like after GtN

She's such a quiet character and really seems to try to keep up a stoic appearance but like, man she really has a lot of shit going on and her development between GtN and NtN is so insane but still seemingly subtle.

I can't even begin to imagine what the final day on Canaan House must have felt like to her because in many ways she's kind of a weird mirror to harrow right?? Her Necromancer has just sacrificed himself to save her life, tragically failed at doing so, and now she's all alone trying her best to collect the bone fragment of the person closest to her? Clinging on to a plan b that, as far as she knows, could have already failed! The fact she even let Palamedes consider a plan b like this would be unthinkable for the Camilla of NtN! She's just incredibly out of her depth the entire time, probably trying her best not just to break down

Do you ever think she resents Palamedes for that day? Whenever she was looking at his bone fragments, or even when he was back and now in his mind it's like. The fact that he acts like she's the reckless one, that he keeps getting mad at her to take better care of herself, do you ever think she hears that and just. remembers picking up pieces of his skull?

Maybe that's why she's relieved when they get to perform grand lysis, she doesn't need to be scared that he'll risk his life for her again and he doesn't need to be scared she'll do the same, they both choose to die together and make something new, someone new that risks their life only for themselves?

Idk, I just think their whole story is so scary and beautiful, they really did go loud.

#the moment before the grand lysis where she breaks down #and just talks to Palamedes #god #also you know shes devoted to him because if my (static noise) was in the body of babs i would NOT be able to not laugh #i just love them #i just love Paul #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #tlt spoilers #campal #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #paul tlt

Thinking about Psychonauts and how much I love the Aquato family once again

They mean the world to me your honor

#They are a strange little family with so many issues and generational trauma and YET they still LOVE EACHOTHER #DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO ME??? #Nona; Augustus; Donatella; Dion; Frazie; Rasputin; Mirtala; Queepie- #I love you all and I owe you my life #DION AND DONATELLA ESPECIALLY; Y’ALL GET SO MUCH HATE FOR HAVING UNDERSTANDABLE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL :( #Aquatos get behind me; I’ll protect you from the people who think you abuse Raz and should just get adopted by Sasha and Milla #that’s a bad take and they should feel bad. like; he can still see Sasha and Milla and alternate parental figures; that’s fine- #But Raz; CANONICALLY; would NEVER give up his family; EVER #That boy would force everyone to have a heart on heart with him until everything is better because he DOES that in the GAME #When you talk to you family in Psychonauts 2 you can tell how much he loves them and how much they love him; even if it’s strained at the- #moment from how stressful the past THREE DAYS have been #YES EVEN DION AND DONATELLA #They love Raz so much!!! They’re both just going through it™️ atm and need time to clear their head: remember; everything that has happened- #has been in the span of 3 DAYS and their whole lives have been completely flipped upside down #I think they’re allowed to be upset; in fact; it would be weird if they weren’t #sorry this is word garbage I just love that family so much it makes me wanna drink paint #prince rambles in this chilies tonight #aquato family #psychonauts aquatos #psychonauts 2 #psychonauts

i'm pretty sure i have the most unpopular campal opinion in the fandom being someone who does not romantically or sexually ship them or think that's canon, but also being someone who's not morally opposed to people who want to headcanon their relationship that way, and not being upset if people even chose to interpret the text that way (as long as they don't insist that it's unreasonable or unsupportable to interpret it as platonic)

#campal #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #sexpal #ntn spoilers #maybe #† #this is not out of nowhere btw it's based off of posts i see regularly in the campal and camilla hect tags #and honestly... #to make my unpopular opinion even more unpopular #why? lmao #when i entered this fandom i was happy to interact with campal shippers or anyone who loves them as a pair as much as i do #because i just feel so strongly about them and love sharing that with people even if we don't have the same takes about certain specifics #but apparently that just is not done :') #this is also how i feel ab the tridentarii #but if you follow me + you're reading my long ass tag here i'm guessing you've already been made aware of that also hi i appreciate you <3 #and if you're a random person reading these tags also hi lol #also this is not directed at my campal shipper mutuelles who tolerate my passionate platonic campal posting!!! you are all rare gifts

smth smth “Camilla and Palamedes were loved by Nona. Pyrrha was loved by Nona. It’s finished, it’s done. You can’t take loved away. We loved you too. Palamedes and Camilla loved you.” smth smth "she was born to the untold wealth of belonging to Camilla and Pyrrha and Palamedes" smth smth "I’ll remember. I’ll make myself remember."

#SHE WAS BORN TO THE UNTOLD WEALTH OF BELONGING TO THESE PEOPLE WHO CARED FOR HER AND LOVED HER #NONA LOVED THEM AND IN HER LAST MOMENTS SHE WAS SCARED TO GO BACK BECAUSE IT MEANT REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING #she was worried when she became someone else she wouldn't love anyone or anything because she wont know how #but paul told her not to worry!!! it doesnt matter. the most important thing is that the love happened. the love was there and it was true #and you might not remember it but that doesnt make the love less true #you cannot take that away #guys it's been 0 days since ive had a break from nona the ninth #theres just no hope of recovery #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #ntn #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #pyrrha dve #harrowhark nonagesimus

[corpsesoldier]

really overcome by the sixth and the ninth’s friendship rn. cam and pal taking care of harrow’s body while she’s helpless in a profoundly weird and dangerous situation because they love her. trying to jog nona’s memory for the slightest possibility that it will bring back one of their friends. just the love and the trust these two little feral lesbians inspire and they aren’t even there to see it.

#sobs I Love Them #on the flip side cam tracked harrow across vast stretches of space #because she had to believe that harrow would help her when no one else would #and then she did #two decades alone on the ninth but spend a couple weeks at canaan house and suddenly they have best friends #the locked tomb #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #mine

[ifyourereadingthisblinktwice]

every time i think about the locked tomb series i just circle back to “you can’t take loved away” and “life is short, love is long”

#like. if that’s not what this series is all about. #ITS ABOUT LOVE!! ITS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT LOVE!!!! #sort of. in a way #not as clear in gideon. but like #reading gideon after reading the others. you can see it. #like. not even with harrow and gideon. putting them to the side for a bit #palamexes and camilla. the teens and magnus. magnus and abigail. the teens in general. ianthe and coronabeth. #the list goes on!!! the entirty of the cav necro pair is formed on love!! #and ianthe #she broke that tradition out of love as well!! #it makes me SICK!!!! #and then the little moments. “’go loud’. ya know??? #DIES #i love things when love is a main theme and factor of the story #but especially in tragedy and horror. like. god. sorry. jod. #and it’s there #but it doesn’t fully hit until nona #because the amount of love in that book. overwhelming. there’s just so much love it makes me sick #i love the poppy war but i am excited to finish it so i can reread this series in full #they make me ill #the locked tomb #me rambling

[goodmorningnona]

ya know, i feel real bad for gideon for thinking her girlfriend was breaking up w her but like babe. you jumped on a fucking fence. i dont care if you "meant it romantically", was she supposed to like that????

#this poor girl is so repressed #she has spent her whole life with harrow wanting her dead (or at least thinking she did and that goes for the both of them) #and her undyingly loyal abused ass said one flesh one end huh.. #what is the ultimate romantic gesture.. #how can we save ourselves kill a lyctor and give harrow everything she's ever wanted #except WHAT SHE WANTS IS YOU IDIOT. WHO THE FUCK KILLS THEMSELVES FOR LOVE WHAT DID DULCINEA TELL YOU #you RAT im so mad at you let me brush your hair and tell you it's okay #AND MISS HARROW???? GIRL???? 'oh lemme give myself at home brain surgery so i can preserve your soul' AS A ROMANTIC GESTURE????? #WHY DONT YOU TWO JUST FUCKING. TALK TO EACH OTHER. ASK EACH OTHER THINGS. LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER HALF OF YOU #holy FUCK #THEY ARE SUCH TRAUMATIZED TEENAGERS I WANNA EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST IM [frothing at the mouth] #the locked tomb #tlt #tlt spoilers #the locked tomb spoilers #fucking IDIOTS #GOD #AND YOU KNOW WHAT #ALSO. THE FACT THAT THEY BOTH GET WHAT THEY WANT BY THE END OF NONA AND REALIZE THEY FUCKING HATE IT HERE BECAUSE IT DOESNT HAVE THEIR #OTHER HALF. LITERALLY ALL THEY NEED IS EACH OTHER #AND ALL I NEED IN MY LIFE IS CODEPENDENT LESBIANS. FUUUUUUCKKKKKK #gtn #gideon the ninth #htn #harrow the ninth #ntn spoilers #in the tags #nona the ninth spoilers

[blue-mood-blue]

How is it that two separate series that I love both had the theme of

"She was never real, she never existed, her end is absolute. When the mask is taken off and cast aside to reveal something much older and bigger than her there will not even be a grave to visit - but the love was real. The love was more important than anything else"

And ALSO

"God's here and he's a deadbeat dad, he is taking zero responsibility for his choices and also he sucks, his firstborn daughter has said so to his face"

How does this happen

#october daye #october daye spoilers #tlt #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #i was thinking about this the other day #with the two newest books in the series #and what they each did to a character #and that what was left of BOTH of them was the love they put into the world #and that wasn't nothing!! #that was the MOST IMPORTANT thing!! #because the love you leave behind IS the most important thing!! #and THEN i remembered that god sucks in both of them and was like 'what the fuck'

[eerna]

reading some reviews and I wanna kiss Tazmuir on the mouth for being the exact opposite of 90% of pop culture right now by making every one of her books completely unpredictable and non-formulaic to the point where a lot of people can’t even read more than one of them because the rest is so different

#i think this is the first time that the hater portion of the internet is completely understandable to me. i understand why they dont like #these books because they ARE a pretty wild shot in the dark and if it lands then great but realistically most people won't like them #''once gideon is no longer the main character the series falls apart because it was relying on her charm'' to YOU. i love gideon as much as #the next girl but to me these books are about a bunch of girls who have messed up relationships with one another that include love #and them doing gradually worse things for that love #gideon harrow and nona are all my beloved girls and i vnever felt disinterest in ANY of their povs sorry not sorry #tlt liveblog #so many disliking reviews of harrow are that it's incomprehensible and im like. yes that's why it's y fav of them. #the moment i started understanding that book will live in my brain FOREVER it was SUCH a good experience. and every time i read it #i understand even more!!! bro!!!!!!! it's SO GOOD but i understand why people might not have fun with it

[mayasaura]

why do you think gideon knows who nona is? i didn’t get that from my read so i’m curious what i missed!

She saw Harrow's "bullshit dead girlfriend" come to collect her body in the River, and she knows Alecto's eyes look like hers, so she has all the necessary background info to figure it out.

Real reason tho is the conversation in the van. She asks Nona where Harrow is, and when Nona can't answer she follows up with: “Okay. Different question. Do you love her?”

Seems to me she knows she's talking to the woman Harrow loves to the exclusion of all else, and she wants to know if she also loves Harrow, or if she's just using her.

#the locked tomb #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth #lmao and then Pyrrha interrupted them because there is NO WAY that conversation was gonna go well #from Gideon's perspective harrow is in love with with this woman and she's just using Harrow for her body without even knowing her name

[gideonisms]

I think the thing about ntn is, it's like making a friend who you broadly agree with on the most important things but who you HARD disagree with on some of the details

#ntn spoilers #i'm at the point where i can have actual opinions now i think. #paul. paul. #i loved the campal tragic moment i loved everything with pyrrha and nona's reluctance to remember the ways she'd been hurt the #compartmentalizing of identity the acknowledgement that sometimes we just are going to become someone vastly different #the question of whether love can overcome that or why love matters if everything's just going to change and end and restart again #and the conclusion that it did matter because it mattered in the moment #love as this huge imperfect force of acceptance for others vs love as a determination to cling to them the way you think they should be #all of that was so good #even the stuff with gideon kind of. felt like it belonged in a different book but i agree with the broad character strokes of like #the horror of what's been done to gideon the way she is trying to become a different person making her own terrible decisions etc #but still trapped in this awful framework for her life & death where she only matters as a symbol for others #and her reckoning with that is messy and awful bc of course it is! #but it did feel like it needed more space than the brief chapters we got & hopefully it will come to the forefront in the next book #like all of the elements didn't necessarily mesh well and i think the humor she was trying to go for with the silly name didn't really work #and the stuff with judith was like. the most boring way to handle that imo. did she have to be unconscious the whole book #she's got so much potential as a character #and! my top pet peeve when harrow lobotomy girl nonagesimus is like i'm going to find the real god you suck #iconic yes but it reveals #she's had the agency to walk away from john the whole book and has sat there listening and now is going to find alecto when? #like?? #the point of the lobotomy was that she is rejecting the framework for her previous life bc she's decided she cares more about the human cost #like??????? #if she was just sort of drifting in the river having alecto's dreams that's one thing but i refuse to believe #she wouldn't be trying to figure out where gideon was the whole time #maybe if she hadn't done the lobotomy i would buy it but she did do the lobotomy!!!!! she literally did do the lobotomy #you have to do a lot of work to get harrow from only caring about gideon's life and i guess religion kind of to just hitting pause on #thinking about gideon for an entire book! #this is not even my shipper brain it makes sense gideon has other priorities is in mourning for her previous self the things she's lost etc #but harrow literally did the lobotomy if u needed to get her to the 9th for plot reasons there were better ways to explain it!!

[saltinesinsoup]

thinking about oxenfree again. thinking about the tragedy of it all because you can do all you want and there’s a techinical ending where you get out of the loop but we all know that the alex we know is forever trapped on the island. maybe we helped another but our alex is still stuck. you can be the worst person ever and it wont matter to anyone but you and alex a bit. you can get your brother back from the dead but do you want to lose your new relationship with your new stepbrother? and in the end it doesn’t fucking matter. you can get ren and nona together you can kill clarissa you can save clarissa you can do everything right and in the end it still doesn’t matter. you are stuck on the goddamn island with the ghosts and with alex and alex is the only one who remembers the timeloop ever.

#jaytalking #god i love this kind of shit #biting ripping tearing at the walls rn #god i fucking love timeloops #i fucking love the tragedy of them #and also!! we never hear about the characters's family. obviously time is passing outside of the island but what do their families hear? #OUGH #GOD #i would kill for there to be more to oxenfree as much as i love the game i know there was cut content #i know there had to be more planned with nona because she's really non existant. clarissa's friend and ren's crush. that's like all i can #say about her and i brought her with me first to the town after the tower #im curious about lost signals. i still am not sure how i feel about the characters. the snippets i've seen they've annoyed me. #god thinking about how we as the player are stuck on the island. we also don't get out. we are still stuck with alex n crew. #oxenfree #oxenfree spoilers

[followtheechoes]

personally I can't wait for when harrow returns to whatever planet nona the ninth was set on and finds out she has a small army of children at her disposal who keep teasing her about things she may or may not find sexy and asking about whether she mentioned their names to coronabeth

#she would DIE #i would love for this to happen so much #because you dont introduce them and build their characters like that if theyre not going to be important #and you dont introduce a ton of characters in the beginning (nona as 1st act of alecto) and give them all distinct personalities #unless the reader is going to see them again #im pretty sure hot sauce is going to come back anywags #possibly the angel as well #the locked tomb #the locked tomb spoilers #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #alecto the ninth #alecto speculation #harrowhark nonagesimus #hot sauce #beautiful ruby #honesty #born in the morning #kevin #noodle the dog
