The one thing that changed me as a person after reading Nona the Ninth is now everytime I see a cow on a drive I have to say "Cows exhibit mourning behavior for other cows" or "Cows watch sunsets" with no context. Instead of just naming an animal I see I have to confuse the driver and either explain what is The Locked Tomb or they end up having a genuine response to if cows should be treated better or if they are just resources for humans to use.

I’m probably not the first person to notice this but I just started rereading Harrow and…
That’s a cow skull, right? Very stylized obviously, but it’s a cow skull. And also:
This is a description of the carvings above the hidden Lyctor lab in Gideon.
Did Jod really make an eldritch cow his symbol? Is that what this is?

I saw someone ask for no spoilers for Nona the Ninth, and i found myself thinking...
How would you even spoil this book? What possible thing could I write that would make a lick of sense? I suppose, like, the big one: "Nona's soul is actually alecto" but beyond that... what is there?
"John nuked the world because he hates elon musk" "John was a twitch streaming necromancy cult leader" "Cam and Pal fuse into Paul" "The world ends because cows exhibit mourning behavior for other cows." "Varum the eater is there because of Nona but not because she's a lyctor." "Gideon and ianthe have friendship bracelets"
This is all just nonsense words. There are lesser mysteries to spoil, but, like... "Crown is actually coronabeth" is not exactly 'snape kills dumbledore!' is it? Most of this book is simply too wierd to be spoiled.

Soup Day: a proposal for a TLT fandom holiday
Because Mean Girls wear pink on October 3rd. Star Wars celebrates May the 4th. Hitchhikers and Discworld fans don towels and lilacs (respectively) on May 25th.
Locked Tomb friends, we need a holiday.
I propose that 9/9 of every year is Soup Day. We celebrate, of course, by consuming soups. We share photos, recipes, and if you have a group of irl bone bitches, the soup itself.
If you can’t eat soup, put bread in a drawer. If you can’t eat bread, stare in anguish at a cup of lukewarm tea while contemplating the ways your God has disappointed you. Use your own moral judgment on whether you consume cow products on that day, as cows do exhibit mourning behavior.
Anyways that’s my plan for dinner on September 9th and you’re all invited! 🖤🖤🖤 I’m telling everyone nice and early so you can start hoarding bones. For stock, of course.

recommending tlt to people is like....it's the most sapphic piece of fiction i've ever read. it's full of memes. it'll punch you in the gut with sincerity. you won't understand the second book. the main couple haven't seen each other in two books. it's about grief. it's about love. it's about lesbian necromancers. it's disgusting. there's an erotic scene about regrowing an arm and it's amazing. god exists - he's just a guy. cows exhibit mourning behaviors for other cows.

But cows watch sunsets, man. Cows have best friends and complex social relationships. Did you know cows recognize one another? Cows exhibit mourning behavior for other cows.

“They said, You wouldn't. It would be nuclear war.
I said, I’d do anything. You know I would. Cows exhibit mourning behaviors for other cows.”
he’s so real for that
