An introduction to narrative styles of the Locked Tomb series, care of me rambling about it on discord

Book 1 is like LMAO BONES. And hot girls 😏 Murder mystery dinner party, with sciency magic but mainly we just understand the swords. Protag has no idea what’s going on but that’s actually very helpful for helping the reader understand what’s going on.

Book 2 is like Psychedelic Celestial Griefcore, with very complex magic Sci Fi that gets elaborated on at length. Dark. We are In Space for most of the book. God is there. Protag has no idea what’s going on because her brain is fucked and it’s… sad? And extra confusing for the reader.

Book 3 is like Sunshine and Rainbows! Too much sunshine for most people actually! All the surrounding characters are living in a shitty urban sci fi dystopia but the narrator is full of love and joy in her city of riots and poverty and sweltering sun. Protag no idea what’s going on because she’s only been alive for 6 months. Love & Light 🥰

just for clarification: saw a more meta post about the whole "alectopause" thing the other day so i wanted to say, this is not the fandom being angry at tor or tazmuir or carl or whatever over alecto's release date, at least not within my tlt following/mutual circle. alectopause is about being funny and absurd and coming up with our own content while we wait (however long, because it will be worth it) for atn news/for atn to release. i will say as a general word of advice to the fandom: don't harass tor or carl or tommy arnold or anybody else working on the books. it might have been funny to @/ the tor books account once but let's not make it a habit, okay? art takes time and these people probably have enough stress and pressure as it is.

okay back to your regularly scheduled palamedes lactose intolerance posting

Pre-Alecto tlt agenda 2024

  • Gideon Nav stockholm syndrome discourse
  • Socratic seminar on what kind of car each character would drive
  • 200k Naberius Tern/Matthias Nonius enemies-to-lovers fic
  • Full Canaan crew ranked by how likely Ianthe would be to use them as the furnace of her lyctorhood (if Babs had eaten a bad clam and died)
  • The full audiobooks but every time Harrow or Gideon say something incriminatingly gay about each other it gets faster (20 minute video)
  • Art contest: design a dog bed for Noodle
  • Placing every lyctor on the butch-femme spectrum
  • Reblog chain of things we would do for a proper griddlehark kiss (be boiled alive in fat, etc)

i would, can, and WILL die for sydnee mcelroy

For the record this is missing the post where he explains that she didnt go in specifically to harrass the worker. She went in there just to inform something along the lines of " i know you dont have control of this but the sign is misleading and I need to tell your manager" but then the worker started preaching the "true science" and girl had the green light to go to war from there
