i hate the tiktok term “unalive” but i had the realization that it truly is a very funny and deeply accurate term for whatever is going on for so many tlt characters. palamades in his little bubble was unalive. alecto in the tomb was unalive. john when he briefly got atomized by mercy? unalive. the eaten cavaliers, their souls eternally fueling the fire of the lyctor’s necromancy? unalive.

hey i have some bad news, your girlfriend is dying. yeah we slowly destroyed her through hundreds of years of negligence, capitalism, and outright greed. yeah she’s not going to make it. yeah you did have a plan to put everyone in cryosleep and ship the whole of humanity off-planet until she gets better but we blocked that plan because we would rather take what is ours and then leave everyone else behind to die. we’re preparing for takeoff rn actually. if you want you can initiate a nuclear standoff, then kill and eat her to gain god-like powers to try and stop us. we’re still going to get away though. yeah you’ll see us again in 5k years as an insurgent resistance force who use her name as our banner.
