What the Locked Tomb Never Forgets

This September marks 25 years since the World Trade Centre in New York City was destroyed by the act of some hijackers representing a criminal terrorist network. Less well known is that it’s 91 years since the passing of the Nuremberg Laws – not the Nuremberg Trials, those happened later, and they happened because of the Nuremberg Laws – that repealed rights of Jewish people in Germany including their inability to marry Germans, which is, for this conversation, as good a point as any to indicate as a point in which the holocaust ‘happened.’

These are two different historical events that are part of a long history of experiences that the dominant cultural framework in which we live we assert that we, the living people, need to ‘never forget.’ The idea of ‘never forgetting’ terrible things that happened is a pretty common one, and almost all cultures have something like that on a more granular level – I’m an Australian, and we have both a Remembrance Day in November, and the motto of our military celebration day, ANZAC day, is ‘Lest We Forget.’

It’s very important to the story of our culture that there are these ideas that we maintain in our memory, to keep them as part of our lives and hopefully, to inform how we act. It’s like how America has done so much to stop the consolidation of enormous amounts of economic power in a singular location so there’s no easily destroyed symbol of hubris by anyone more dedicated to their cause than their own survival.

What a culture says to ‘never forget’ is meant to be important. What endures in a culture is meant to be extremely significant.

I wonder what Jod doesn’t want us to forget.

Spoilers ahead for ideas in the Locked Tomb series.

A God Of Lies And Teeth

The Locked Tomb as a series that constantly employs information inequality. In every single scene, someone relevant to the reader is missing a crucial piece of information, and that gap creates the tension that drives the story forward.

This isn’t a comprehensive theory; I haven’t done a deep literary analysis or gone chapter by chapter. To discuss this, I’ll have to mention some spoilers for the Locked Tomb series, but I’m not aiming to give a crash course on everything, nor do I intend to spoil specific plot points.

Simply by talking about the structure of the narrative, there’s an implication that the reader is being kept in the dark about certain things – and that’s a bit like telling someone, “Oh, there’s a twist ending in this movie.” The moment that information is out, the audience is in a position to try and anticipate it, which can make the twist unsatisfying or make a very particular kind of nerd extremely mad.

Not that there are any of those nerds in the Locked Tomb fandom; we’re all extremely stable here.

Does Harrowhark Even Know What A Vulture Is

I wanted an easy one.

This post started with what I thought was a simple and fun premise; one of the most notable Harrowhark quotes is ‘Death first to vultures and scavengers,’ and I like vultures so I want to negotiate with the implication of this text. This clearly thinks vultures suck, and I don’t agree and I think that a smart death advocate would agree with me, which means I need to find some explanation for the idea expressed here. Finding an explanation necessarily asks the question – once all the easy ones are exhausted, and brings me to does Harrowhark Nonagesimus know what a vulture even is?

By the time I was done I’d downloaded and read a scientific paper about how children become racist. I hope you’re all happy.

Content and spoiler warning: I’m going to discuss information from The Locked Tomb, which necessarily involves giving away the scope of the story as it unfolds in Harrow the Ninth and Nona the Ninth. Also, because it’s The Locked Tomb, I’m going to wind up mentioning necromancy, undead bones, skeletons, meat, mass animal death, and existential environmental collapse. This is the fork, you are in the kitchen.

THE LOCKED TOMB

One of my favourite book series!

an old fanart for Gideon the NInth, some recent work in progress bits- Harrow, & an illustrated grungy pulp style version. Love those old books where the paper has gone a bit yellow, the corners and covers are delightfullyworn.

Gideon Nav’s Vore Lore

The Locked Tomb is a book series that pitches itself with a clean, simple premise: lesbian necromancers in space. That is what it offers and that is what you get. It is a premise that delights me not because it’s just pithy but because this is a series of books that seems intent on screwing every single aspect of meaning it can out of those four words. This is a book where there are lesbians, and those lesbians are presented in a variety of different ways. There are normie lesbians and there are messed up lesbians and there are creepy lesbians and there are uncertain lesbians and there are naive and possibly even asexual lesbians. They are necromancers, and every different type of necromancer a reasonably competent Dungeons & Dragons player could come up with when desperately trying to find an angle the Dungeonmaster hadn’t thought of. And space? Yep, outer space is a big part of the story, both in how big it is and how things being in a particular position or location are important to the story.

But there’s that other word.

That little word.

In.

Because oh my, this is a story that does a lot with ‘in.’

I’m going to have to talk about The Locked Tomb’s world and things in it which means necessarily if you’re spoiler averse for a series that starts with a mystery novel, then you should go read that first, then come back to read this weird article that will, inevitably, wind up talking about vore. That is where it started in my notes and that’s where it’s going to end up.

Harrowhark Is A D&D Dork Right

Okay I may need to explain that one a little better.

Oh, and spoiler warning, I’m going to mention some details of what’s in Harrow the Ninth. But no need for a big content warning for this one, I’m not going to bust out any weird or existential horror here (I don’t think).

Locked Out Of The Tomb

Tamsyn Muir has remarked that one of the challenges of having made The Locked Tomb as a lifelong participant in fandom is that she cannot participate in or even look at the fandom that she created. That is, she is responsible for the existence of a fandom, and has chosen – for perfectly good reasons! – to avoid it.

I don’t think this is an abnormal activity, for any given author. Right now we live in a world where authors perhaps have to represent themselves in social spaces, and how they engage with that space largely up to the individual. I’ve dealt with a few successful authors on social media, but none I think of as being as successful as Muir is, and Muir has had dealings with the internet that seem to have led to her retreating from it.
