I was scrolling through the Audible reviews for Nona at like 3 AM because I couldn’t fall asleep (as one does) and the STARK divide between review-writing fans is so fucking funny. People either loved Nona or they feel like Tamsyn Muir wrote the book to deliberately frustrate them specifically. Nona is a joy or an abomination. I love it. I think that’s very Nona of this book.

I made a Nona the Ninth (and Friends) Playlist!

♥ Nona Beats 🜃

I’ll probably continue to add songs and shuffle things around in the future, but I’m happy with it enough to share! The first nine songs are for Nona, but the songs from “Boo! Bitch!” onwards are for various other characters (mostly my faves Ianthe and Gideon/Kiriona) and just general TLT vibes. 🌏✨💀💖

tracklist below the cut:

1. Dogsitting - Louie Zong
2. Beautiful World - Tennyson
3. princess peach - Shawn Wasabi
4. My Dog’s Eyes - Zammuto
5. In The Kitchen - Mree
6. Forrest Walk - Anamanaguchi
7. First Bloom - Saint Mela
8. silkspun - Purity Ring
9. Infections Of A Different Kind - AURORA
10. Boo! Bitch! - Kim Petras
11. Witchking / Angmar - E L L E
12. Top of the World - Kimbra
13. Hi - Psapp
14. Dead Girl! (Shake My Head) - Au/Ra
15. Haunt Me - XY&O
16. Only With You - Cyn
17. Fortune Teller - Discovery
18. Set In Stone - Brandyn Burnette
19. Wishing Well (feat. Lucy Tops) - Stomper, Daniel Eppel, Lucy Tops
20. Barbie Girl - Kill J

⭐️ New Patreon Post! ⭐️ Nona my girl Nona. She’s six months old. She loves swimming and eating sand. She’d save the whole world for the sake of one dog. She’s just the best. I have drawn a picture of her.

I’ll post this thing to social media soon because I’m pretty proud of it, but as always you can see the full piece, process screenshots from sketch to final artwork, and more of my behind-the-scenes notes by supporting me for $1 USD or more per month!

> If what you feel is new,
> That’s just first bloom
> (Who are you? Where are you growing to?)
> As you inch towards the clues
> Bless whatever brings you here and to…

this started off as a quick companion sketch for my Nona (& Friends) playlist, but of course became something much more involved. If she’d had a portable tape player, I feel like Nona might have taken some moments to relax like this.

I can’t decide which is funnier: that “Varun The Eater”, the planet-shaped revenant that ominously hangs in the sky for most of Nona The Ninth, is the soul of Uranus, and thus, in kind of a convoluted way, an allusion to eating ass (a joke maybe only Gideon could laugh at), or that Varun is the soul of Jupiter, and thus yet another Homestuck reference:
