Tamsyn Muir Oxford Speaker Event
hello locked tomblr! i was at the tamsyn muir event in oxford - here are my notes i've tried to group them thematically rather than chronologically, and to point out spoilers when i can. there are some parts that i missed/didn't hear correctly - i would appreciate it if others at the event correct me :D
Key takeaways
Alecto is still being written! Muir was reluctant to say a year, so it will probably be more than that
Alecto wonāt be written in a Biblical style, and there will be multiple POVs. It will mostly be told from Harrowās POV (I hope I heard that right)
Muir loves the idea of a TLT videogame
Muirās not yet done with Floralinda
Thank you, OP!!!
it's literally cute when a girl reeks of weed. and i'm tired of pretending it's not
I find Iām in the minority in how I absolutely abhor the smell of weed. Iām all for it being legal and all but itās giant sensory NO for me.

I wentānot overseas, but by public transportāto Corpus to hear Tamsyn Muir speak.
The bad news: Alecto is not finished. It will hopefully come out "soon" and will likely be fast tracked with few ARCs when it's finished.
The news you may take differently depending on your preferences: It is not being split.
The good news: It is not all written in Ye Olde Alecto speak (it sounds like Harrow's POV will be fairly major, but there will apparently be several narrators).
A slightly random selection of things I frantically scribbled down:
The protagonists of TLT would make an "absolutely shit" D&D party ("Palamedes and Camilla would be fine")
We could have had horse plinko and begone thot, but for the anti-meme ministrations of her editor. She would love an edition that puts all of the memes back in.
On Catholic imagery and lesbianism: "you ain't seen nothing yet"
"Harrow is now a believer without a church"
She said that while John and Alecto's relationship is not meant to be a 1:1 analogue to Humbert Humbert and Lolita, there is the idea of a man fashioning (something he thinks is) a girl into a perfect partner (the question of whether that is a sexual partner apparently may be relevant to ATN)
She does not have a favourite House and would just be a regular person in the world of TLT (though she would last about 0.5 seconds)
The tension between the Houses' ostensible gender equality and the misogyny that still persists is apparently also relevant to ATN. "John has set out to make a society on values he holds dear and cherishes and in some ways he has done really well... And in some way he has fucked it up beyond comprehension" (Maybe not an exact quote. My auditory processing is questionable.)
The backstory in NTN was planned right from the beginning
Lyctors "are not truly human any more. They've crystallised themselves" and "They have lost themselves and the only thing they've been able to hold on to is what other people make of them". She said she would have liked to make the Lyctors more alien but had to balance that with them being relatable narratively.
She is dying to read TLT fanfiction once she finishes the series.
Woman murders man in broad daylight
beautiful like to reblog ratio on this
That's because people are reblogging it every time they see it. Like I'm doing right now lmao
Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.
And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.
It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.
when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.
One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".
The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."
I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

It's absolutely crazy that intellectual labor can wipe you out. It seems like it shouldn't be a thing, like your stores of brain juice shouldn't be able to be depleted in that way.
I feel like a wizard that's out of spell slots, and to me that's a hackish mechanical limitation put in place to try to balance the classes.
#it's fucked and it's bad design #i should be able to write and edit for 20 hours a day #i'm just sitting there how are we even using energy #feels made up (via @softest-punk, emphasis mine)
Your brain is an incredibly energy-intensive organ. It makes up approximately 2% of your total body mass, but at rest it's using 22% of your total energy intake. The only thing that uses the same percentage of energy is all of your skeletal muscle (which is about 40% of your total body mass), with the liver (about 2.6% of your total mass) close behind at 21% (Aragon et al, 2017).
And that's how much energy it's using at rest.
That's the baseline.
So if you're doing lots of intellectual labour, your brain - which already has disproportionately huge energy demand - is going to use even more energy to keep up with the work. That's why you feel so wiped/drained/like you're out of spell slots after high intellectual demand - because your brain is an organ, and you've just done a lot of high-energy work with a high-energy organ.
Feed your brain.
imagining a tlt adaptation thatās like wandavision but good. someone remind me to elaborate on this in the morning
ok so for those of you who haven't seen it, wandavision is a marvel show centered around wanda maximoff and her husband vision. im a little hazy on the context because i haven't seen any of the avengers movies lol, but prior to the show vision died, i think fighting thanos. wanda is so full of grief that she uses her powers to create a contained world where everything is fine, based on her childhood love of sitcoms. essentially, what she's actually done is mentally enslave an entire town into acting out sitcom plots, and then wipe her own memory. over the course of the show she slowly realizes that this isn't reality, interspersed with like fbi agents or whatever the fuck on the outside trying to get into the town.
the obvious parallel is to harrow and her dream bubble, but i think it would be even more interesting for wanda's place to be filled by john. i firmly believe that any adaptation of tlt should do its own thing with the plot and world rather than trying and inevitably failing to recreate the books. so what i'd love to see would be a canaan house sitcom with the original necros/cavs as the supporting actors.
in my mind, this would be a prequel of sorts, split across the resurrection. half of the show would be set in canaan house, with the gang trying to figure out lyctorhood, but framed as a comedy, with all sorts of lighthearted interpersonal drama and necromantic hijinks. i think it would also potentially be interesting as a mockumentary; definitely it would be based on iconic millenial shows and that specific style of comedy. like maybe the show is a cross between friends and the office.
meanwhile, you have flashbacks to before the apocalypse, with the compound and the cow wall etc. like in wandavision, this side of the story would have a completely different aspect ratio/coloring/tone entirely. you get some of the moments of comedy, but overall there's this tone of horror-fueled dramatic irony as we learn more and more about how they ended up in canaan house.
as the season goes on, the canaan house plot becomes more and more strained, as tensions between the various necros/cavs become more and more evident. you see cristabel and alfred whispering together, cytherea's getting more and more sick, mercymorn and augustine are sniping at each other, their research grows more and more intense, and overall the audience is feeling increasing dread.
both plotlines begin to ramp up in intensity, with the apocalypse getting nearer and nearer in one, and the climax of the research at canaan house/the lyctors' ascension is on the horizon. in the finale, we see everything go to shit in both, ending with john's ascension to godhood and alecto's creation in one, and the chain of lyctoral ascensions in the other. we end first with anastasia's death, with hints of john's lies, and then with john surveying the ruins of earth, with a shot of canaan house to close us out.
and then there are a couple of possibilities for a season two, following john's slipping control of the situation on the mithraeum as well as covering the post godification john chapters, and potentially up to dios apate major. however i think in this hypothetical scenario where i'm showrunning this i would go to a completely new format for season two.
so yeah! wandavision but it doesn't fall apart like 3-4 episodes in š
Iād watch the heck outta this.
so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, weāre supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men canāt tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.
This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.
And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jenniferās Body. I was flabbergasted. Itās not scary! Itās not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.
Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldnāt even talk about it. One of them said he couldnāt look at his wife for a week after reading it.
Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.
Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlashāmen yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulateāthe backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.
My conclusion? Most menāat least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a āvillaināāare perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). Theyāre even sort of fine when women do violence to women (āooooo cat fight!ā).
But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.
So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassmentābehavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actionsāis to break something?
Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.
In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.
And they flinch every time.
Here have a newspaper comic from 1993
If any of this is at ALL interesting to you, I *highly* recommend reading The Holdfast Chronicles by Suzy McKee Charnas. Itās post-apocalyptic āfeministā fiction that can be difficult to stomach (alllll the trigger warnings) but thereās no other book series that has made such a strong impression on me and for a lot of the reasons explained by the above post. It goes the extra steps of flipping the narrative a few times so once the reader feels that justice starts getting served the author swings the pendulum so far the other direction that you get extremely uncomfortable again.
craziest xena dyke drama episode
crusader (najara the homewrecker)
locked up and tied down (thelassa who wishes she could homewreck)
the debt (gabrielle jealousy crisis/soft breakup xena/lao ma drama)
adventures in the sin trade (xena alti anokin and cyane)
a necessary evil (xena gabrielle callisto aaand velasca)
ring trilogy (brunhilda also wants to homewreck)
return of callisto (callisto takes the most active path of homewrecking yet)
This was a tough choice and itās been a long time - I went with Najara because of how dramatic it felt when it aired.
Have I got something to tell you about your 40s!
