Nona Liveblog. (5/5)

Warning: THIS LIVEBLOG WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE BOOK. I have finished reading and am posting these notes after the fact. Therefore, it will also contain blurbs about things I missed on my first read. Please be cautious.

Once again, big thank you to @elexuscal for reading my rants and reacting with frustratingly vague emojis~

(Screencap of the 32nd Chapter heading along with a graphic of the tomb, with the rock now rolled away and the entry opened) uh oh spaghetti-Os.ALT
"...stay put, Sext." Unfortunately that one is gonna stick.ALT
“Friendship bracelets,” she fairly shouted. “They’re wearing friendship bracelets.” :pika_mad: I don't like it. Chekhov — 08/27/2023 8:18 PM “Yeah—same,” said Kiriona, with infectious good cheer. “Anyway—let’s open the Tomb and get out of here.” For a moment Ianthe kept laughing, and then she said— “Wait. What?” :pika~1: “Wants her? He told me to kill her. He said, Make it quick, but kill her, said me with my blood could do it—said me with my blood, I was the only one…” Ianthe rounded on the corpse prince, and she gave her a ringing slap straight through the face. Kiriona did not stagger. “He loves her!” Ianthe howled. “John loves Alecto John needs Alecto! Without that piece of goddamned fridge meat, he’s nothing—and we need to keep him that way!” I'm watching this whole thing like a tennis match. :chek_popcorn:ALT
The secret was told: the secret was out—the middle brain disappeared. Was it.... a secret? I thought-- Hang on Is Nona...........Alecto? (GIF of a dog sitting on the couch, looking shocked with an open mouthed expression)ALT
The ghost. The ghost that was haunting Harrow the whole time. She took Harrow's body? John loved her. She was John’s cavalier. She loved John. For she so loved the world that she had given them John. For the world so loved John that she had been given. For John had so loved her that he had made her she. For John had loved the world. (GIF of dog looking confused and terrified as it lays on the floor) THIS WHOLE TIME I FORGOT ABOUT THE DAMNED BODY. I FORGOT ABOUT HER. I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HERALT
Chekhov — 08/27/2023 8:25 PM I don't...... know. I don't know what's going ONNNNNNNNNNNNN NONA IS ALECTO, REMEMBERING HOW JOHN LOCKED HER AWAY, AND NOW NONA IS BRINGING HER OWN SOUL BACK TO ALECTO'S BODY AND HARROWHARK IS FALLING APART AND THEY WERE SWITCHED, THEY WERE SWITCHED HARROW LAY DOWN IN THE TOMB IN ALECTO'S PLACE AND ALECTO'S SOUL???? BECAME NONA INSTEAD???????????? That's why she loved Varun. That's why she knew him. She WAS him. A revenant beast and whatever was left of the Resurrected Earth, made human. Made something that was not itself.ALT
To which a voice on the opposite side of the shore was raised, exceeding wroth, and Alecto heard it shout in a very great shout: Get in line, thou big slut. (GIF of Matthew Mercer, laughing while he pinches the bridge of his nose)ALT
god damnit, these fucking kids. this is chaos. damnit all. I have no idea how to even react. Apparently seeing her Beloved Corpse of Coping has woken up Harrow enough to stitch her body back together. And she immediately pledged herself to Alecto, because of course she would. Harrow pelase. I need you to be normal for once in your life. ALT
