"'I pardon him, as God shall pardon me,'" said the Emperor. "Come, swear your loyalty, my son—my brother—beloved—Lyctor—saint."
Edit: so I started redoing this one a bit ago but never finished it but I wanted to before the new year so here 👍 original is below the cut
Rereading for Mercy scenes made me get inspired from this bit
Fixed this one too
At the end of gtn when John is like "so unfortunately I can't give you your cavalier back but we DO offer generous benefits like restoring your house and you'll get time and a half for fighting the beasts that killed the other guys!" huge why can't we keep employees energy
Harrow who has been in middle management since she was 10: absolutely I'd love to work for you (actively on indeed.com searching for another job as they speak)
I cannot imagine anything more terrifying than telling God my worst sin and him not believing me because it was so terrible he didn’t think it was possible

A god named John 🧔🏽♂️
Do you think Jod regrets not being able to play any old earth ballads?
every goddamn day. there's no way he doesn't have to stop himself from referring to britney spears' toxic as a "traditional earth ballad"
[Jod Font: (608): I'm torn between regretting everything and regretting nothing.]
it's after halloween but trick or treat anyway here you go:
buddy youve already written an essay lmfao anyway treat: i like hearing peoples opinions. ive already mentioned my opinions on kiriona and john before (TLDR this has always been gideon and people change/imperialism misogyny and classism is baked into the society john grew up in and it continues to exist as he made this new society). tcest grosses me out on a general level but it Is there in tlt and it annoys me when people boil it down to "oh isnt it so problematic when twins kiss are you offended" instead of exploring how the third house encouraged codependency and fused identity, coronas desperation to be needed vs ianthes desperation to be acknowledged and seen blahblahblah theres just more interesting ways you could explore text within a series about the horrors and unhealthiness of love instead of jacking into a sock about it
rereading nona
Ok we all know John Gaius read Homestuck, but...
My thoughts
Devastated I missed this poll when it was active because every "yes" answer adds untold hilarity to this bit
The world may have ended, but John still won't admit to having read Twilight. He didn't even know it was a book, honest.
THANK YOU FOR THIS ADDITION!!! I believe he is lying and has read them multiple times!
rip john gaius you wouldve loved blackout poetry
Come on, love. Guys as careful as me don't make typos.
[Jod Font: (253): I think when she wakes up, she'll either kill me, or laugh. I hope she laughs.]
im thinking about palamedes being compared to god (the bible) and both him and john saying good morning to jesus and the reckoning respectively. i dont know guys. i dont know
Having one of those days where I put some stuff together, stare into space for a bit, and then yell "TAMSYN!":
G— on his way with the nuke. The ships on the launchpad, twenty hours to go now, less. So much waiting around. Me in my bedroom with a nun and a migraine, her thinking that if she pushed me enough we’d instantiate the Trinity and we’d all be saved. Everyone else drinking.
So you know how the whole arc of John 1:20 is John badly playing 4D chess with nuclear war while the nun somehow persists in thinking he's the latter day John the Baptist?
They said, You wouldn’t. It would be nuclear war.
I said, I’d do anything. You know I would. Cows exhibit mourning behaviour for other cows.
Well, uh...guess what very first nuclear detonation of the Manhatten project was called:
And why was it called that?
My poor girl was losing her religion every day on that space shuttle
