just started a reread of nevermoor and i noticed something. corvus calls the Age that's just ended "the 8th age of the Wintersea republic"
somehow i never noticed that the Free State's naming system wasn't universal?? the 8th age, for them, was called "the Age of Southern Influence". the wintersea republic just doesn't have any fun, do they >:( bring back my Third Age of the Aristocrats or Avian Age or whatever this is bullshit
desperately hoping the wintersea republic national anthem is actually just everyone shouting "onwards! upwards! forwards! huzzah!" and that it's not just the title of the song as my sister claims. i think that would redeem them in terms of whimsy in my mind
oh... when jupiter and morrigan are going through the Skyfaced Clock and jupiter says "We're going home, Morrigan Crow." i'm gonna be SICK he knew the whole time that she belonged in the free state i need to reread silverborn augh

❗SPOILERS FOR ONE OF US IS LYING BELOW THE CUT ❗
just got to the chapter in my reread of One of Us is Lying where Addy's getting interrogated by the police and i can't help but wonder. couldn't they have just checked the CCTV footage in the classroom where they had detention? surely they'd see Simon sabotaging the cup himself and let everyone else go free?? obviously that wouldn't happen because it wouldn't exactly be an interesting story to write, but within the universe of the novel it is quite funny that not a single police officer thought to do that

If you were brought on to a new Nevermoor project re-working the audiobooks so every character is individually voice acted, who, of these characters, would you most like to voice?
Morrigan Crow
Jupiter North
Jack Korrapati
Hawthorne Swift
Cadence Blackburn
Fenestra
Thaddea Macleod
Marina Cheery
Ezra Squall
(I obviously can’t put every character but if you do feel particularly strongly about a character not on this poll you can just. talk about it on this post if you want)
Jessica Townsend has shared the first Neverfive snippet!!!🎄
The other thing that I’m never not thinking about is Ruby’s truly outrageous hypocrisy when it comes to Froghorn in particular. Namely how much she dunks on all of his secret codes and how nerdy they are. Every time she finds herself breaking into his personal items she breezes past his obscure codes and dunks on him about how pretentious he is for choosing Euler’s constant or an obscure Greek mythology figure or a specific interesting number as a code phrase, crucially skimming over the fact that SHE ALSO KNEW THAT DEEPLY NERDY REFERENCE. She GOT IT INSTANTLY
Of course. Yes. Immediately obvious. Anyone would think that, Ruby
And just to be clear, she does this EVERY TIME she breaks into Froghorn’s stuff
just remembered the really solid conclusion I drew the last time I reread this series, which is pretty simple: Ruby is all explicitly autistic in these books. quite aside from the obvious child genius bullshit that's got going on: she's touch-averse (see: PYP, where she straight-up says that she rarely hugs people), has a tendency to gravitate towards Very Familiar And Very Specific foods and drinks (banana milk, strawberry bubblegum, the Good Donuts, has a tendency to get really short and upset when those familiar foods are not available), hyperfixates on problems to the point of not sleeping/eating until someone tells her to (basically every book), she's Fucking Bad at picking up on social cues (that one kid trying unsuccessfully to flirt with her for an entire book) and then... man, the list of rules. the rules that she works out and sticks to so hard that when Sam Colt is like 'hey, sometimes you've got to.. not use your pre-planned rules' she has absolutely no idea what to do with that. sometimes she just locks herself in her room because she doesn't want to People today. it's so real of her.
in conclusion i guess you could say she's on the Spectr - [gets shot]
I first read this series right before I got diagnosed with Autism and I was so confused by everyone being weirded out by some of her (and Clancy’s) behaviour and then I got diagnosed and just started going oh oh oh
oh yeah, don't even get me started on Clancy. he's even more obviously autistic than Ruby is, which is saying something. his hyperfixations and deep-dives on very specific topics, his hand-flapping whenever he reaches a particular Emotion Threshold, his failure to read certain cues in social situation. even the way his father interacts with and treats him is like. it's very telling
hmmm might start actually. using this blog for something. who's to say. perhaps post a book review or something

I’m rereading Nevermoor, and I’ve been struck by the symbolism of the chandelier in the Deucalion.
Jupiter’s favourite thing.
At the very start, the chandelier is a pink sailing ship, grand and gorgeous. Sailing ships, noted as vessels used in the age of exploration, symbolising adventure and discovery. Jupiter is an esteemed member of the League of Explorers, and clearly deeply enjoys his adventures. He retells stories and it seemed that he was constantly somewhere exploring. It was his passion, and his top priority. His main project. His favourite thing, for all to see, proudly displayed in the Deucalion.
On the day after Morrigan’s arrival, the chandelier crashes to the floor. Jupiter’s usual pattern has been disrupted, his priorities compromised. Morrigan frets that she’s ruined his favourite thing, admitting so to Mr Jones/Squall.
Upon rescuing Morrigan, Jupiter has made a change in his own life. His love for exploring is still there, but is no longer his favourite thing.
Just by harbouring Morrigan, Jupiter puts everything at risk. His reputation, the Deucalion herself, and notably, his membership in many clubs and organisations, including the League of Explorers.
Growing over the course of the Trials is his new priority: Morrigan. Caring for Morrigan, learning her needs and making sure she’s safe in Nevermoor. His ability to look after her and guide her grows alongside the new chandelier, just as she gradually grows to trust him. He risks his own reputation and passion for exploring to make sure she doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, and to make sure she thrives somewhere she can belong to.
The new chandelier is in the shape of a crow. Jupiter says he likes it even better than the ship. The chandelier symbolises how Jupiter has decided to make room for Morrigan in his life, in his own home, in his heart. He prioritises her over even his greatest passion.
Tl;dr Jupiter cares for her so much im sobbing
p.s i haven’t read silverborne yet, if you see this please don’t spoil it for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The way wundersmiths don't usually get to know their birth family yet morrigan got to grow up with her's and they treated her terribly. The way wundersmiths usually know that they're going to outlive most of the people they know but morrigan thought she was going to die young. The way wundersmiths were sponsored to do so many things but morrigan had to always pay for not doing anything. The way wundersmiths were supposed to have a family of people just like them but morrigan only has the one that killed the rest of them.
I think it's interesting that Squall never contests what people say about him, and even go as far as to repeat it to Morrigan (I can't remember the exact quote but I swear he calls himself a "maker of monsters" in Hollowpox)
He never tries to convince Morrigan that he's in the right, and he doesn't seem to be using her to try and get into Nevermoor. He even helps her take down the Hollowpox and turns back time to prevent all the silverborn deaths caused by the Guiltghast
I think the closest we've got to him arguing with what people think of him is when he yells at Morrigan for bringing up the Courage Square Massacre
I don't have a point here, I'm just excited to see what Jessica Townsend will tell us about Squall in the future. I NEED to know what happened during the Courage Square Massacre.
