I have a dumb question that I probably already know the answer to. (HtN) Is Mercy’s briefing about Number Seven one long joke about that Facebook boomer who asked a question and then responded to every reply with WRONG, NEXT!!

it has to be, i thought the same thing and was like "it's too on the nose to be unintentional." legitimately very glad this is a series where the question "is this a meme" can usually be answered with "yes."

also, origin of NEXT! for people who want it.

Is Ianthe's soup recipe a reference? I swear it sounds like a comedy YouTube cooking channel I've come across once, but haven't been able to pin it down.

Enough sideburns to last a lifetime.
My wife woke up around 2AM last night and had to inform me via text (despite being in the same bed) that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel clearly leads supports the existence of the Necromancer Queen Catherine Spaniel before returning to a rather deep sleep.

When I asked about it the next morning, she let me know that the combination of the above forms a Licker, and that is pretty much an encapsulation of the stupid jokes this series have enabled in our house.

I have a complete set of these, and they're pretty great. They're fan-made, but Taz posted about the Kickstarter when it ran, so they at least have her approval.

I notice there's been a new run if the pins in black, but I think I prefer the bone-white originals.

Gideon threatening to rip off Ianthe’s rear end and get Harrow to make a bone rear end is amazing

Just that entire sequence.

I don’t have any pins yet but I do have a Sixth House skull on my PC from 1989 and the Nona burger shirt.

Sorry to double post but there is a really fantastic interview with Tamsyn on Tumblr that just dropped, in which she declares FFIX to be her favorite FF :kimchi: and some other things

https://books.tumblr.com/post/693388542787846144/writer-spotlight-tamsyn-muir-tamsyn-muir-probably

This is probably my favorite bit but there's so much in there that I would love to quote for emphasis

quote:

Harrow would hate that you described her as horny. Gideon would be fine with being described as horny. Nona would love to sit you down and talk about all the things that make her horny, at the end of which you are 50% worried that she doesn’t honestly understand ‘horny,’ and 50% worried that she DOES understand ‘horny.’

Everything about Nona fascinates me

She’s not wrong about FFIX and she’s also namedropped Terranigma in a previous interview which I find deeply intriguing.

I also thought the Priority List of POVs was really interesting, especially in that Nona's POV comes after Gideon's and I guess I really want more context on that. It all hinges on WHO Nona actually is and what that means for the story going forward.

The fact that Nona wasn't initially supposed to have her own book and how her importance to the story evolved to the point where she couldn't just be contained to the epilouge of Harrow and the beginning of Alecto is so interesting and exciting.

So yeah, kind of like Roxas. I absolutely loved her analogy to the beginning of FFIX, but again, I'm pretty biased

I think so, too? My other theory, that I'm pretty attached to, is brokebrained Gideon piloting Harrow's body. I'm definitely willing to be wrong, obviously. We won't know for sure until we actually read it.

I’m not sure it can be anything but this, given the sample chapter’s reference to Nona’s hair growing unusually quickly.

Or a shorthand for both NOnagesimus and NAv. I came across this one on Tumblr and I really liked the idea, but the Amazon Look Inside preview of one of the earlier chapters reveals the reason for Nona's name. But again, who knows! We'll find out more in a couple of weeks :downs:
