    Tor put out a "which house are you" quiz and this is bullshit.

    Got a link to the quiz? Sounds like a laugh.

    If there are 9 answers to each question, I really hope every single question has an answer that is just "Bones."

    Presumably you can't get first house right?

    This is actually a good resource for anyone reading the books the first time.

    Since half of your first read is just "who is in what house? And what's their deal?". At least it was for me.

    I only just noticed that my phone autocorrected "Tor" to "toe" in my post and you'd think it'd know better by now.

    I'm going to reread the first two books prepping for Nona, I'm really looking forward to reading them closer together this time.

    Rereading the series and in the acknowledgements for Gideon she says she has an apron embroidered with the worst meme to get cut from the book and given the groaners that are still in there I'm just dying to know what it was.

    I was talking somewhere else about how I'd love a Gideon the 9th and Harrow fortnite skin, and then it was like "Ok but it would have to be a TV show first and how would that work since Gideon rarely actually talks".

    If I were going to do a Gideon the 9th series, I think I would have it done in a 4th wall breaking style. Having Gideon talking to the audience about her inner thoughts.
    Like how smitten she is with the 7th necromancer, or about how terrible the teens are, how much she hates Harrow and how annoying it is to fight with a Rapier and how she misses her two hander.

    Basically do it like Fleabag. Main character inner monologues directly to the audience but says very little to other characters.

    I haven't watched Fleabag but that concept exactly, yes.

    The question is who would play a good Gideon? She's supposed to be fuckin' ripped.

    fuckin' ripped and like 16, basically impossible casting.

    For as big as she is you can probably get someone in their twenties. Alicia Vikander could probably do it, she got jacked for tomb raider. She is short though

    Not to derail this important line of inquiry but I'd like to point out that books can absolutely get a Fortnite skin. They did it for mistborn already.

    I’m sorry what there is a Mistborn skin in fortnite?

    What?!?

    Well that's the most interested I've ever been in Fortnite.

    Honestly, if we were doing a Tomb series, I'd age Gideon / Harrow up to early twenties and keep the teens 16 or whatever

    Goddammit, I used to run around at 4-H conferences with a girl who was a drama nerd and a football player, and she'd have been perfect for the role.

    So I guess send talent scouts to the Mormon towns in southern New Mexico for a start.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure all the teenagers in the Locked Tomb trilogy are all following Riverdale aging rules anyway.

    Except for the Horrible Teens, who are horrible exactly because they look and act like actual teenagers.
