kids these days being like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. return to tradition: write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself

And we are correct.
@obituaryobliterater and I deliberated long and hard about this
you know what I would love??
for @netflix to renew Dead Boy Detectives
don't mind them, this is just how they flirt
I know the thought of Charles beating the daylights out of The Cat King is delightful.
Even the thought of Edwin being the one to throw his first ever successful punch into TCKs face.
But Crystal is the one who canonically takes her earrings out and beats the shit out of someone for a small slight. Imagine the damage she'd do if she found out that TCK was harassing Edwin.
She knows fuck boys. She condemns sexual harassment of others. She's a fierce protector of her friends.
Charles wouldn't have the chance to pull the cricket bat out of the bag before Crystal has TCK on the ground to curb stomp him.
I just saw that Jayden has Work Song by Hozier on his playlist for Charles, along with Fair my Amazing Devil and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by the Smiths, and I just know that man is currently begging every Netflix executive and Dead Boy Detectives writer to let him kiss George on the mouth in the next season and I love him so much
Okay, because I’ve seen a couple floating around, and I just made it for my partner who’s reading them for the first time + I know a good few of you follow me for tlt stuff: Here is The Recommended Reading Order for The Locked Tomb
1. Gideon the Ninth
2. The glossary and “a little explanation of the naming system” from the end of the GtN
3. “A sermon on cavaliers and necromancers” and “cohort intelligence files” also from the GtN paperback
4. The Mysterious Study of Doctor Sex, which you can read for free here:
https://reactormag.com/the-mysterious-study-of-dr-sex-tamsyn-muir//
5. Harrow the Ninth
6. The HtN glossary and the “Blood of Eden Memorandum For Record” which is included in the Harrow paperback
7. (Here’s where you face a choice, because after Harrow, you can either
A) go back and reread Gideon the Ninth, which I highly recommend, or
B) read “As Yet Unsent” from the Harrow paperback if you just want to keep going.) if you do A, just do B afterwards
8. Nona the Ninth
9. “The Unwanted Guest” from the Nona paperback
(Note: This assumes the reader has the current US paperback copies, but if you are listening to the audiobooks [which I highly recommend]/have a different edition, [I know, for example, that libraries prefer to generally have hardcovers when they’re available] this is a series where I think owning/reading multiple formats is worth it, but you can probably find most of the supplemental materials online, and if worst comes to, most of the bonus material is short enough that you could probably read it while in the bookstore pretending to think about buying the book. And, if you just want to read the novels/don’t care that much and just want to see where this goes, you can always just read the mainline books and come back later, but that’s not really the point of a full reading order.)
