HARROW THE NINTH (2020) / SEVERANCE (2022- )

[gideonpyrrha]

The absolute tragedy that is Harrow fucking destroying herself just to keep from turning around in the vain attempt to keep Gideon alive but the fucking last word out of her month is a name her brain refuses to know. 

It’s like if Orpheus cut out his eyes and lost Eurydice anyway because she refused to leave the Underworld since he refused to look at her.

effectively killing two of your protagonists who are actually the same protagonist by forcing them to develop into a kind of mutual twin-absorbed-in-the-womb type chimeric synthesis of each other thereby introducing a third new protagonist who is actually both and neither of them. and at the end of season two episode three no less.

okay since I recently found out that me and literally 5 other kids in my choir had a phase where we made serious plans to run away and become a 9th penitent - is this an 8th House thing or are teens just like that

some sad news for y'all today. once again two of my shinglers, "pounded in the butt by the realisation that none of us will live to see a time of peace" and its sequel, "pounded in the butt by the realisation that the previous realisation must have occurred to dozens of my ancenstors and still we fight on", have been placed on the eighth house index of heresies. OH WELL! i will continue to write as long as there is one person waiting to read, and that person is ME!

📜 solace-in-thighs Follow

aw shucks that sucks! at least your works are in good company among other works of art on the index (or so i hear)

🩸 saints-alive Follow

dude we can all look up the index. "saint of seduction" "cavaliers off the leash" "pounded in the butt by a chainsmoking saint that remains otherwise unspecified and could belong to any fictional religion"

is that the good company you're speaking off? or are you just sad you can't jerk it to pervert porn anymore

📜 solace-in-thighs Follow

Nice try. Among erotic works, several priceless artifacts with immense cultural and scientific value have been indexed by the Eighth. E.g. the collected letters of General Duodecim to his spouses in the year of 3097, being one of the only firsthand accounts of the establishment of the first shepherd worlds. That's so long ago they still called them colonies! It's from before the divine edict of 4001!

general duodecim was a weirdo who wrote self insert fanfic about himself getting his guts rearranged by the saint of duty TO HIS SPOUSES

IMPORTANT UPDATE. The Crown Princess of Ida struck up a conversation with her from across the table and the captain dropped a dumpling into her lap.

it's been five minutes. the Princess is still talking to her and the window in which she could have picked the dumpling up with minimal embarrassment has passed ages ago.

i feel like harrow would be like, on some site like neopets or flight rising and just have the game’s marketplace in her pocket. just a fucking, billionaire tycoon on some low stakes virtual pet game. blows off steam manipulating the economy and fine tuning her creatures to be Perfectly Goth with the same account she had since she was 10 named xXgl00m_m1str3ssXx

yes she is using gideons gaming chair and headphones

[gideonpyrrha]

what if……. tlt as silly game….

[gideonpyrrha]

nona the ninth audiobook is no fucking joke…. moira quirk’s voice work is doing laps around these bitches… the way nona still sort of sounds like harrow except her voice is so much softer and more childlike. it makes me want to kill myself

[gideonpyrrha]

gideon resembling wake. harrow resembling anastasia. pyrrha treating gideon with barely restrained tenderness upon determining her as wake’s daughter. alecto pacifying her rage upon realising harrow is anastasia’s descendant. something something life is too short and love is too long. something something you cant take loved away

[gideonpyrrha]

I think what I also meant to say in my previous post was that gideon's death is presented to harrow as something she needs to heal and move on from in order to accept her current situation. And harrow simply refuses to accept the current situation and I don't think the narrative is leading to her ever accepting it. Gideon's death as fuel for harrow's lyctorhood is paralleled with alecto's death as fuel for john's power, which is a pretty straightforward metaphor for the way that empires like john's exploit the people they can and take natural resources with no thought for the future. So if these things are all connected, I just don't see how we could get any kind of satisfying ending out of harrow accepting gideon's death because to do so she'd kind of have to accept what john did to alecto and on a metaphorical level it would be a pretty bleak tone to strike to have harrow decide, oh well, there's nothing to be done. when there actually clearly were things to be done and harrow did them

2025 sounds like the perfect year for the release of a fourth and final book in a sci-fi fantasy tetralogy with lesbian necromancers in space and a beautiful, strong, and angry barbie titular character

[gideonpyrrha]

finally tried my hand at a twin cinema poem and yaowza !! took me a couple hours to figure it out but i'm very happy with this one and i wanted to share. you can read gideon and harrow's thoughts separately to see their perspectives on their own and each other's actions, and putting them together supposedly reveals the truth of the lengths they would go to but can't communicate to one another :3

i just think that a form where they are talking to one another without hearing any response and yet are intertwining so perfectly is deeply on theme and makes me ill

also sorry for image quality i formatted this on canva and idk how to put such a complex form into an image description so apologies </3

[gideonpyrrha]

SO WHERE IS GIDEONS SOUL? a harebrained slipshod investigation

if kiriona is truly gideon all parts attached, what i seriously cant wrap my head around is how enough of gideon’s soul managed to peel itself away from harrow’s body enough to return as a complete revenant. palamedes calls it impossible and i dont think hes wrong. like her soul should not have been able to separate

obviously harrow managed to halt the lyctoral process, but i think a fraction of gideon’s soul was consumed before she managed to stop it (which is why she’s only half a lyctor, as opposed to not a lyctor at all). i like the idea of a gideon corruption arc as much as the next guy (its sexy) and i think its definitely part of what gave birth to kiriona, but i like to think theres more to it. but if theres still a part of gideon’s soul left in harrow’s body, its not anywhere we’ve been privy to thus far. so where is the rest of gideon’s soul?

i cant help but think of that one reddit ama where tamsyn mentions that theres a heist in atn… and think theyre gonna be heisting for gideon’s soul orpheus and eurydice style. the time ianthe asks harrow to “turn around” in htn is an obvious reference that i like to believe the narrative will make good on

also descent into hell is definitely a theme for alecto. i recall reading this in a reddit post, but does anyone remember the snippet tamsyn read at torcon

aside from the fact that its called “harrow in hell”, its also an adapted/referential quote to alighieri’s divine comedy (the opening line to dante’s inferno specifically)

i also want to posit something similar. lyctoral souls are intertwined indelibly (see john in gtn’s epilogue)

so it goes to reason that if a part of gideon’s soul is in harrow, then a part of harrow’s soul is in kiriona. more specifically, i think a part of harrow’s soul is in kiriona’s stoma, or something representational of it in the river somehow. in dante’s inferno, dante starts at the very bottom layer of hell and ascends upwards to heaven. similarly, we know that stoma can be found in the barathron, the very bottom layer of the river. the parallels are simply too delicious to ignore..

finally, i turn your attention to this:

and

sorry for the extremely lazy surface research but i got what i needed. harrow has been destined to save a soul (or multiple) from the very beginning. im tellin you…. the truth is out there

tldr: harrowhark is going to hell
