I think you may also need to read Good Omens because, humbly, I’m pretty sure Gideon’s mom is War.
Something deeply painful is the fact that seasons, especially fall, dont feel the same. Not because of individual maturity but because climate change has impacted the weather patterns so so so much that we cant even experience the same annual shifts that our ancestors have for centuries
I feel displaced, i yearn for the spring, summer, fall, and winter that i can barely remember experiencing
To make things worse, if you’re under 50-60 years old, you can’t even remember what normal seasons were like because you weren’t alive to experience them
In the graph above, you can see how there’s a clear tipping point in the late 1970′s, which is when global temperatures first began to really skyrocket.
I was born in 1997, so about 20 years after this shift occurred. There is an immense difference between the climate now and the climate I remember growing up in, but the way I experienced the seasons in my childhood was already fundamentally different from what the seasons were supposed to be like! My parents were pretty much the last generation to experience a normal climate, and that’s just... incredibly sad
I am processing this information in a normal way devoid of rabid rage and bloodlust i am processing this information in a normal wa-
I'm just old enough to remember the tail end of real seasons. I can't express how different it is now.
Yes and.
The start of the period during which humans were the primary driver of climate change (the Anthropocene) is sometimes defined at the point of Columbus arriving in the Americas, because the genocide he kicked off killed so many people so quickly that it catalyzed the mini ice age of the 16th century. Our mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers’ mothers knew a year’s climate that was not largely shaped by human violence.
It’s too late to undo what happened, but we could still stop doing genocide, and that would be great.
broke: of the ninth youths, ortus is the poet
woke: of the ninth youths, ortus AND harrow are huge poets, harrow remembers tons of ortus poetry and she says stuff like "first flower of my house" like oh my god
bespoke: ortus, harrow AND Gideon are all poetic little shits, do you remember when Harrow confessed her greatest sin to Gideon and Gideon proceeded to engage in a little baptism?? a little ritualistic drowning, washing harrow of her sins??? declaring her wedding vows right before sacrificing herself??? I'm not sure what they put in the articles of Gideons magazines but she is definitely a poetic little shit, dear lord
I was instructed to explore ChatGPT’s abilities and limitations as part of a course development seminar and I asked it to summarize the Locked Tomb series.

wait what
now hold on…
I don’t think that’s right.
Ortus is a what now

nameless and forgotten, as it should be
girls will literally turn their parents’ corpses into meat puppets to prevent the House of their birthright from being annexed by other powers
