the way agatha immediately knew it would be rio who would be summonded as the green witch the second jen said "may she be pleasant looking" sister knew there would be only one option: her own wife.
ok but looking at the whole thing from rios perspective is actually devastating like what do you mean your love asked you for time with her son so you bent the laws of the universe to give it to her and then when his time runs out and you take him, in a nice and gentle way that involves a goodbye kiss, she hates you for it anyway.
tragic doomed for the start in this essay I will-
i love the way the way the locked tomb does gender. like gideon is butch, undeniably, but also can you really be gender non conforming when there’s no real image of gender to conform to in the first place? palamedes and pyrrah aren’t NOT trans in nona; their souls are trapped in different bodies, and those bodies ARE the wrong gender but also that’s literally the least of their problems. ianthe is pretty firmly in the box we would label “femme” and she’s simultaneously the princess of ida and a tower prince. but that’s also the least of her problems she’s literally puppetting a dead body around. nona experiences dysphoria about her body (harrow’s body and the barbie body) but that’s because she’s literally the soul of a planet trapped in a meat prison. any shaped meat prison would be bad.
like i wouldn’t call the locked tomb a “post gender” world, but they seem to all basically have the attitude of “i don’t have time for gender right now we’re trapped at the murder mystery dinner party from hell and someone stole god’s sperm we have bigger problems”
Rio constantly yelling “why don’t you want me” and telling Agatha she loves her and that she knows she loves her back was just wow. Rio was truly distraught over Agatha not wanting her anymore. She looked so heartbroken when Agatha said “I don’t want to see you for the rest of my life and when I die” so Rio just didn’t collect her soul once she died. Everything about the finale and their relationship has left me reeling. I cannot function
“You want a straight answer, ask a straight lady”
“Teenager!” “Damn, using his full name.”
