[naomistares]

this one part from harrow the ninth always made me really upset. so i made a four page comic out of it!

[aldoodles]

fav part of gideon the ninth is for the first pre-canaan house chunk of the book, she's all "ugh I'm so normal surrounded by all these weirdo goth freaks when I blow this popsicle stand everyone will see how cool and normal and charming I am" and then she gets to canaan house and realizes that while she might have been a normie jock in the ninth house she is not exempt from being a goth weirdo who hides important doors behind tapestries and sneaks around in the dark so she doesn't have to talk to people. like we talk about her being a jock forced to be goth but nature v nurture babey she's not shedding that bone freak skin anytime soon

Ianthe is for sure going around picking up gal pals to fill the empty places where she used to have companionship, but you know what? Pretty sure Kiriona is not replacing Harrow in the Coronabeth-shaped hole in her life. Kiriona is the new Babs.

I love how one of the defining characteristics of the Locked Tomb series is that it’s purportedly lesbian in nature, and yet the yuri is so toxic it’s barely edible

Do you think at the end of Alecto, Kiriona will go from being a Tower Prince to a Pillow Prince?

KAIEJFKFOSKKDDKS ok she deserves to!!!!!

like, Gideon is so deeply service oriented especially wrt her physical body and what she can do for/give to others, so I just think it would be a nice character moment if she was able to get to a space where she could accept care and service as well. is it feasible for her to achieve that in the book? unclear! will she get there in my google docs: already has 🫡

I really want to know what Mercy's association with the eighth looks like. All the other OG lyctors have nice legible relationships with with their pet planets where you can look at their personalities and the corresponding cultures and philosophies and then extrapolate, but Mercy and the Eighth have me stymied.

It's not like there's no overlap- they both go in for dour fun hating, there's a certain superficial brittleness covering up genuine principle, someone with no talent for inference has probably tried to compile her most bitterly exasperated asides into a holy book. The mad science they absolutely got from her, the religious fervour makes sense in terms of where her head was presumably at thousands of years ago, but I cannot see her having the patience to deal with their appetite for ritual and the soul siphoning and breeding cavaliers for batteries doesn't feel like something she'd be into on an institutional level. the eighth reads like mercy left a bunch of freshly resurrected amnesiac zombies with a very terse orientation package, some absolutely deranged medical notes and very strict instructions on lab safety alongside a rule about how they should only contact her if a significant section of the planet is on fire and then they developed a whole religion and culture about it while she checked in very occasionally to yell at them more about lab safety. Then when the other lyctors told her her children were ruining the vibe and inventing fundamentalism she got defensive about how fun is overrated and they have self determination AUGUSTINE, not everyone needs to micromanage and also look at what the third has done with commerce. Absentee patron saint of the year.

Anyway I think Gideon has a big enough service kink that it can be seen from space and will happily eat Harrow out for hours because she’ll pretty much do whatever Harrow wants as long as she says please.

So I’m on this dating site talking to a man I met 15mins ago and I just happened to mention that I was in a relationship with a woman at some point. Tell me why he immediately responds with “oh okay good because I thought you were closeted and just hadn’t come to terms with it yet.” What could I have possibly said that was SO GAY that he clocked me within 15mins of meeting. This is so humiliating
