My best post.

Oh so when your mom puts a little bit of her heart in every meal that's fine, but when I, Harrowhark the First,

There's so much shit in these books that's either foreshadowing or just otherwise really obvious on a reread that's fully just out in the open but you don't even think "hey that might be relevant" on your first read through bc in gideon your narrator has negative interest in the actual plot and would rather be practicing with her sword and looking at hot women, in harrow you have no clue what the fuck is going on bc harrow is both hallucinating and actually haunted and also gave herself a diy lobotomy and also also everything is being filtered through that and also gideon's half-absorbed soul, and in nona the narrator mostly is not interested in the plot again but this time because she's six months old and actively dying and she would rather be playing with dogs and also you're too busy focusing on the slice of life that somehow manages to make you cry over a t-shirt offering cheap mustache rides

"that’s not actually Crown’s boyfriend, Nona, it’s her sister, but I don’t think anyone could blame you for getting confused" is a wild line and it's describes their whole t h i n g with terrifying accuracy but the best part is how everything becomes even worse after

While "the enemy was defeated by a blorbo from man's own poetry" is the funniest way a problem was solved in tlt, I do think a good runner up is "vital information is learned because the protagonist's friend, a 12 year old drug dealer, was stealing stuff in the tunnels below the city"

Gideon the Ninth movie finishes, curtains close, and the music over the aftercredits is a somber cover of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up

pyrrha dve: look, kid. look at me. i know you're kinda reeling right now but before we're swallowed by cthulu i need you to understand that i did fuck your mother. yes i know you just met your father for the first time and hes god or whatever, but so you know you've always been a daughter to me, especially that one time when i killed your mom and also maybe you. it's ok she understood why i did it. all that said i think we should kill ourselves right now. what do you mean you don't want to kill yourself? your mother would have killed herself with me.

nona the ninth is a fucking roller coaster from start to finish. it's the third book in a series and it starts with three returning characters who were barely in book 2 and everyone else is new. It follows a gravity falls arc in tone, ie it starts as a slightly weird slice of life story and by the end they're fighting ancient eldritch abominations from actual hell, and not a moment in that transition feels out of place or jarring. our first impression of the main character is the list of people she wants at her birthday party and the first five names on the list are dogs. our last impression of her is some of the most heartbreaking dialogue ever written.
