The Apostle
because carrying his memory would kill her either way? because it almost did kill her? because it's better to be killed personally by him than by her own grief?
Because there's no cost she wouldn't pay just to keep him in her life. Because any pain, any physical or emotional toll, any way she might need to rework her whole life around him, will never hurt as much as existing without him.
Because some of it brings her fulfillment and satisfaction in spite of the hardship, when it's for him. "You thought it was your agenda? Huh." Because it's her life and she can do what she wants with it, and what she wants is to devote it to him. "I never would have asked for that. I never had rights to that." "Sure. That's why I gave them to you."

Fellas, is it gay to be 2 different souls in one body and get freaky with another person who is 3 different souls in one body?

people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.
Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼
”‘Just’ friendship? A poor modifier for so high and honorable a state.”
Anyway if y'all have any posts you think could benefit from being Babsified, you can go ahead and send them my way @prince-of-ida-official. Ask box is also open there. I have decided, in case I do get any hatemail on that account, I shall simply respond in-character and that would be funny actually. But I would prefer not-hatemail. Not-hatemail is also good.

"Here's to Camilla Hect, yet another one of devotion's casualties." Was insane actually. Another one of devotion's casualties. Where is Tamsyn Muir I just want to talk
I'm rewatching Supernatural (my first love) for the first time since high school, because the quarter-life crisis is in full torque, and I'm coping however I can, thank you. Anyway, all of this to say, I've gone fully off the deep end and gotten absolutely obsessed with Destiel again, and I've had the sort of horrifying realization that my current favorite ship (Griddlehark) is basically just Destiel in a funeral shroud.
Apparently my favorite ship dynamic is just 'world-weary, neglected, guilt-ridden sweetheart who masquerades as an asshole due to a deeply ingrained fear of rejection' x 'weird, emotionally-inexpressive, super-powerful being, absolutely riddled with religious trauma stemming from the belief that they are an aberration'.
Also, it's important that they never even kiss.
Yes, it's specific, but it's weird that it happened twice.
(If Gideon and Harrow don't end up together, I might die).

Well, the first chapter of AtN (based on Muir reading the first few lines a good while back) is literally marked as "Harrow in Hell", so we're off to a great start 😌✨️

underrated locked tomb detail is how so much emphasis is put on the difference between flimsy and real paper and yet it doesn't have to be explained exactly what that difference is because we know. we know okay we know what the nine houses would use instead of trees for cheap mass-produced printing material. it doesn't even have to be stated that gideon's skin mags are printed on actual human skin we know-
I'd say yes AND no, in that it's not just skin. It IS a sort of plastic as others have said, and it's not unique as a sci-fi concept, similar to how it never explained what a "sonic" is. But Crux very much does say "we'll use your parts for paper" and the typical Ninth soap is explicitly made from human fat, etc. Human leather, which is just skin tanned like any other leather, is different from the paper but is also a thing in use.
Like there's no way they're peeling skin and writing on it, and it would be awful for that. There's no way of doing that and getting a texture that crumples and uncrumples like paper, or rather, no way outside of the one below and then why would you only use the skin? That's extra work for no benefit.
But they ARE absolutely taking and processing human corpses and basically speedrunning it into oil / whatever and turning that into plastic products. Probably not only human parts—I'm sure there are parts of plants they don't have much use for, animal byproducts, etc—but absolutely a high volume of human parts. Gideon's mostly-polymer clothes are surely also a high volume of human parts for that matter. They don't waste resources in the Dominicus empire! :)
So on one hand, nah the "skin mags" aren't just sheets of skin, and the slang term for porn exists independently, but liiiiike... they're not NOT-skin, you know?
And as I was typing this I just suddenly imagined some brands of porn mags in the Houses advertising like "OUR flimsy is made with a MINIMUM of 30% REAL skin!" as a selling point. These Cohort titties are brought to you in part by real Cohort titties of babes past. We're sure they'd be honored to be part of this timeless tradition. (And the worst part is you know some would be, there'd absolutely be people putting that in their will jawoejaowej)
exactly! if you have the ability to grow human matter via magic of course you're gonna use it for manufacturing wherever you can! i think plex/polymer/whatever just wouldn't register as organic to necromancers in the same way oil wouldn't register as organic, because it's gone through so many chemical processes that it no longer counts despite its origin being known. either that or they have some kind of "fish don't count as meat because the pope said so" thing going on, which is a fascinating possibility to think about.
i did actually forget about crux saying "we'll use your parts for paper", but something that does stick out in my memory from book 1 is when gideon goes down into the facility and is relieved to see harrow's bone wards because they're the first "human touch" or something that she's seen in the place - having stuff that's made of people is so normal in the houses that it's more bizarre when there isn't meat and meat byproducts in everything.
Ah, HMMMM... I'm on the fence about how MUCH growing extra flesh might be involved but that IS a solid point too... Normal necros would be passing out long before doing half of what most our House scions can, especially before someone like Ianthe's level; even with ambient thanergy in the system, their bodies conducting it take a heavy toll. But it IS heavily implied that Ianthe has used flesh magic to make Corona unnaturally hot, and while that was over time a lot of it was also surely when she was a lot weaker. 🤔 I'd suspect it's not a huuuuge factor, but could definitely see there being non-military or retired necros whose job it is to like. Clean the bones and then expand what's left of the flesh to some extent.
And on one hand, it could easily vary by House, but at least on the Ninth it seems like bodies do get to be buried for a while and then exhumed later for use. But then, that might just make it easier to work with? Let them rot in boxes and once everything has broken down you're working with pure thanergy. Allow a "respectful" grieving period and also not waste more effort on converting resources than you have to, win-win.
And! 👀 You make a great point about it not "registering" as organic(/human). Could be a chemical thing, or the non-human elements could typically dilute it too much. Though there IS also Corona's off-hand mention of Ianthe's shuttle class requiring the good stuff, "thalergy-enriched, not just hydrogen blend." Maybe necros CAN basically like, oil-bend. Pal's barrier sure looks like it and necromancy is so incredibly Fossil Fuels 2.0 in general. Maybe flimsy just doesn't carry enough to be useful for anything but reading psychometrically.
Maybe part of the process extracts as much thanergy (and thalergy if there's any left to be had in any materials) as it can, and/or there's just not enough left compared to how rigid the material is to affect harder plastics. Bone is like, THE thanergy-retaining substance and honestly as small as the Houses are I imagine more bones go into manufacturing of different kinds (everything from decor to war ships too!) than made into servants, especially outside the Ninth. They probably only have to replace constructs as they wear out every so often, they don't need a constant influx. But that's a tangent, I was saying because even Harrow is like, absurd with bones, possibly the literal greatest non-Lyctor bone magician in history prior to her ascension, and even with her whole being 200 souls advantage, forming a key out of THE thanergy substance is basically unprecedented and difficult to achieve. So that's another reason even if it's Technically organic it wouldn't be surprising necros don't really interact with it.
But yeah. Yeah! God overthinking House culture and worldbuilding is weird and awful and fun.
