every day I think to myself if the lobotomy hadn't happened. But the lobotomy DID happen. The lobotomy literally did happen

#turning point for harrow literally wasn't deciding to choose alecto over john. that was the backstory #listen to me harrow's character arc does not even center on alecto. that's her side plot #muir listen to me the lobotomy was the turning point #ntn spoilers #tagging before i continue my speech. anyway #if choosing alecto was the most important bit of harrow's character arc then why the intentional contrast between alecto & gideon #why the pool scene but more importantly #why the lobotomy?????#literally why the lobotomy if harrow hadn't decided gideon was more important than her religion. why would she go back to her body at the #end of ntn #okay and another thing! if we consider nona wanting to be forgiven by hot sauce. harrow being forgiven by gideon #harrow is nona there. harrow alecto parallels right #so then u add that gideon is john's child & currently in her villain arc #hear me out harrow alecto gideon john parallels #+ harrow in hell #gideon's going to have the choice to let her go & is going to do it. unlike john. but harrow is going to choose gideon. unlike alecto #who is going to reject john & live her hotgirl life without him #i'm connecting the dots #okay maybe i went off track there at the end we're ignoring that #the point is. harrow's characterization is different if you take away the lobotomy. but not necessarily if u take away alecto #i'm dying on this hill harrow is not ending up with alecto i will be vindicated!!!!!!!!

yeah we might be brothers in christ but so were cain and abel so shut the fuck up before i decide to find a rock about it

#postscript;#if you try to tell me cain and abel were not brothers in christ shut up pls #i've studied theology for nearly a decade. i know more than you.#christ's harrowing of hell exists to retroactively turn all of humanity even before his existence into ''brothers'' in christ #because it is not a literal term it is an evangelist term. bc christianity in all denominations is evangelistic in nature #not being a christian is 1. a moral incorrect choice according to them and #2. not actually possible. everyone is judged as a christian everyone is fundamentally supposed to be christian #calling someone a brother in christ is just calling them christian.#so ergo according to doctrine cain and abel are in fact brothers in christ #but #and this is far more important than any of that #i was not trying to be perfectly accurate to the theological timeline of the tanakh vs torah vs old testament vs new testament vs apocrypha #i was trying to make a silly one line joke on the internet #and all you do when you try to go Well Actually They Werent is make yourself look stupid and pedantic.#so for the love of god stop it with needing to be right online im so bored and tired

“You can’t cure this,” said the Prince. “It’s spirit shit … possession. You can ward people so they don’t get grabbed—if you’re really good—but otherwise, chop them up and burn the bits. That’s the cure. Civilian or Edenite or House, it makes no difference.”

mercy killed john cleanly. he did not die in pain, she did not disrespect his body; she killed him quickly and efficiently. john killed her brutally!! he mutilated her and covered someone else with her gore and only then killed her with a tap to the back of the head. he ripped a dead woman’s cloak from her body and touched her corpse with his bare foot to prove a point!!

all this to say: necromancy is disrespect for the dead under the guise of reverence, and john isn’t even bullshitting respect for the dead anymore in Thee most obvious way. god’s mercy is finite and he has none left; i suspect that his “i’m just a little guy :)” act is at its end and we are about to see more of the man who claims that guys like him don’t make mistakes.

#just like. the way he treats her body is insane to me. shes a character that already lacks bodily autonomy so this is just so.#cannot fault augustine for trying to slam dunk him into hell thus dooming the universe Again tbh #+ shoutout to aster for the phrase ‘he blew mercy up in the microwave’ cant stop thinking about it #mercymorn the first #john gaius #harrow the ninth #the locked tomb #aust.txt #tlt

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

#the locked tomb #harrowhark nonagesimus #john gaius #harrow the ninth #this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL #this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships #(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think #the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real #but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god #when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care #(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on #it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there #while john is -- well he sure is being john huh #this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end #(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up #john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

tbh I think people deeply misunderstand the dynamic between harrow and ortus. imagine ur thirty years old working a minimum wage job and living in ur moms basement. ur manager is an overacheiving high schooler who knows the employee handbook by heart. like she will garnish ur wages if u don't upsell vigorously enough but also she needs a ride home because her learners permit says she's not allowed to drive past 8 pm. ortus nigenad is victim of the alienation of labor, send tweet.

#harrow nonagesimus #ortus nigenad #the locked tomb #etc etc etc #i think we all have a lot of sympathy for harrow bc she has truly gone thru hell #but also like. cmon guys. she also deliberately and conciously put everyone else thru hell and enjoyed it too #ortus simpathizer hours #also idk what has come over me but i have the nearly irressistable urge to write tbh as turburculosis h #get it cuz like tb #anyways.

99% of the time I HATE when people have characters pet names because it’s so easy to get out of character with them but Harrowhark would absolutely call Gideon Beloved. She would call her a horrible cuckoo one moment and beloved the next. She’s calling Gideon a brainless dumbass two sentences before casually calling her the loveliest flower of her house.

#the locked tomb #harrow nonagesimus #Harrowhark my beloved!!!!!#Gideon doesn’t NOT call Harrow beloved btw #no way in hell #if Gideon is actually trying to be sweet she’s probably calling her shit like Bone Baronness or something #because Gideon Nav does NOT do sincere #but she would call Harrow babe or baby #because Harrow hates it but refuses to tell Gideon to stop because Gideon would then call her sweetheart and honey #and Harrow is scared she’d actually like that

Pulled this Dragon Prince fanart off the eternal WIP pile four years after I started it [itsbeenfouryearsohgodhowww] - a little what-if of Viren and Harrow fighting together before all the events that tore them apart! Also incorporating some now-old fanon about Viren having a bum leg, so I... Skyrim'd him. I'm severely behind on DP now, but the Viren and Harrow dynamic and all the pitfalls therein is probably what still holds the most interest for me - just can't resist Hubristically Doomed Middle-Aged Men, I guess xD

Of course being set before Certain Events means Amaya AND Sarai can hold the braincell and dive in to save these idiots from whatever situation they've gotten themselves into!

#The Dragon Prince #TDP fanart #Viren #Harrow #Amaya #Sarai #mild violence/gore #ABC Work #I have no joke been sitting on this since September 2020 #I got most of it done then too!#before descending into hell with the BG work and parking it several times #I finally just dedicated to covering it in fog because my WIP pile is SHAMEFUL #Anyway still really fond of the posing in this #I still remember Harrow's armour and sword being a real pain to draw in perspective xD #This was fun! If I ever do more hopefully it won't take another 4 years -_-
