girls when I gave you my whole life and you didn't even want it

[firstflower9]

I don't know... it's probably been said before. But it's the fact that Gideon was originally supposed to be of the "two hundred dead daughters and sons" that she wasn't supposed to live. She wasn't supposed to live a life intrinsically connected to Harrow's, or ever leave the ninth. She was destined to die and become one with Harrow. All just to live long enough to die and become one with Harrow.

I'm drunk so maybe in the morning this won't make any sense, but if Gideon was always going to die. Was always going to become a catalyst of Harrows power. And there is a reflection of her importance to Harrow in the power she gives Harrow. Had she died as part of the 200 she wouldn't have done anything extraordinary at all. But she lived and loved Harrow and became the catalyst for lyctorhood. A power equal in everyway to her importance to Harrow.

I'm sure someone will get the vibes.

tumblr keeps putting posts on my dash about how it’s not “realistic” for Gideon to be fat/buff/fat+buff bc all the Ninth House eats is snow leeks and oatmeal

I’m so sorry, I can’t seem to hear you. I was too busy adding 20 pounds to her, as I do every time I hear this rancid opinion

You ever think about how Wake was dead and trapped in a sword and watched as the necromancers she’s hated her entire life took in the Thing she called a bomb and gave it her murderer’s name? Did she watch as the Ninth killed two hundred kids and only her Bomb survive? How did it feel to be dead and gone and watch as that girl grew into a mirror of her own now rotted away face??

really strange how many people’s eyes seemed to glaze over and who immediately experience hyperspecific amnesia about both gideon and harrow being repeatedly described as “brown”

I JUST HAD A TERRIBLE REALIZATION HOLY SHIT WHEN JOD TOLD HARROW "NO ONE HAS TO KNOW" IN RESPONSE TO THE CONFESSION OF THE 9TH HOUSE GENOPHAGE THAT BIRTHED HER, IT WASN'T OUT OF CARING EMPATHY TOWARDS AN EXTREMELY ABUSED CHILD, IT WAS BECAUSE HE HASN'T TOLD ANYONE HOW HE BECAME GOD HOLY FUCKING SHIT MY MAN PANICKED BECAUSE HARROW'S PARENTS NEARLY REPLICATED HIS CARDINAL SIN FROM 10,000 YEARS AGO AND IS TRYING TO HIDE THAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS AND SUBSEQUENT CONSUMPTION OF 8 BILLION HUMANS

Are you a Locked Tomb fan? Do you struggle to describe the series to friends and family who dislike science fiction and fantasy, and prefer the kind of novels The New Yorker describes as "a blistering exploration of the human condition" and the odd tasteful murder mystery? Don't worry, I've got you covered:

1. Stranded in a decaying pile, a group of aristocrats and their servants contend with political intrigues, transgressive relationships, and existential questions while stalked by an unknown killer.

2. A teenage girl, struggling with memory loss after a terrible accident, is groomed by a charismatic religious leader at his isolated compound. As she tries to avoid confronting her past, the lines between reality and fantasy seem to blur.

3. A young girl with learning difficulties finds joy with her found family amidst the horrors of a refugee camp. A climate scientist confesses how he came to commit murder. Their parallel narratives with come to overlap explosively.
