*gnawing on a stale panera baguette i stuffed in my backpack yesterday*

me to me: this is so harrow-core. i’m practically in the locked tomb rn

[gideonisms]

hello lovely! do you have favorite bread drawer takes i just like sometimes thing about it and totally lose it

Well I'm not quite sure if you mean takes I have seen or just thoughts about it, but my take is thus:

On the ninth it's cold enough that if you leave food out it probably stays good quite a while. Not sure what the pest situation is but it's safe to say harrow doesn't know what happens when you leave food out in a warm coastal climate (ants at BEST)

harrow prefers bread to all of the other foods at canaan house. To her that's the best food. she also knows Gideon isn't picky about food and will pretty much eat whatever

harrow isn't sure what condition Gideon will be in when she wakes up but is obviously upset and guilty about the trial and probably doesn't think Gideon will want to see her first thing. so instead of getting food for her she leaves a meal she thinks is good and sends cam who has more medical expertise to check in

Basically I read it as a genuine gesture on harrow's part. she's just bad at genuine gestures

Gideon would probably have preferred harrow and a full meal but alas. she got drawer bread instead and then decided to die for the weirdo who gave it to her

when you think about it drawer bread is a reminder to all of us that although we may be atrocious at figuring out how to show our affection there is probably at least one person in the world who will eat our drawer bread with only a little bit of eye rolling

Maybe try asking that person what they'd like to eat?

Okay but what was Harrow's thought process on the drawer bread? Like 'Oh, can't just leave bread boi out in the open, unprotected'. Unprotected from what? The air that would get in anyway? Was she scared someone would sneak in while Gideon was sleeping and steal her dried out husk of sustenance?

Girl had that room warded to hell and back, she is so funny to me.

in honor of today's incredibly vague tor post

ok, I started writing this in response to someone in particular but it felt unfair to single them out when the reason I was moved say something was because they were like the seventh person saying the same thing in a day.

To all the people like me, who had never heard of those YouTubers. Yeah, I get the vibe. I'd never heard of him either! Or any of the others. But so what ? Firstly, someone else you like is probably doing the same thing, and Secondly, on this scale? You probably HAVE HEARD of him. You just didn't know.

As turns out, I HAD heard of him.

I was so sure I hadn't. Lucky me for being so disconnected from the internet zeitgeist that I am insulated from its fallout! lol. Except I had read @vaspider 's post rejecting his spreading of Leibowitz's statements about 'boring people dying of aids', someone who at the time was struggling uphill against public opinion. Someone else I follow had a Hannibal video plagiarized last year by a big youtuber who turned out to also be him. My wife and I love watching verilybitchie, guess who also got a video ripped off by somerton?

And, like, you're right about how the fuck did people not take more issue with the 'nazis so hot' shit. But lots of people believed him, and spread it wide enough that you might have seen it. I am sure I've seen other, less explicitly awful takes of his crossing my dash, even passed them on, takes that were not even particularly horrifying, just misleading or untrue or stolen and taken out of context. Takes that are distorting the narrative of queer history on tumblr, beyond.

I'm not pointing fingers, just worried the impact of the video is getting lost. I wish someone who could write better and sound less grumpy doing it had written this instead. I just hadn't seen anyone else say exactly this yet. Specifically that, like me, you probably have heard of him, or more importantly his influence. Lots of other people you like got their stuff stolen by him.

And if you really have never met him or the consequences of his actions. then you've met someone else just like him.

I'd never 'heard' of him. So what?

Something about this quote. Something about how trust is a major factor to Gideon's and Harrow's relationship to work together and how that snowballs into more. It's just going to rotate in my mind forever.

i want you to know i just opened your blog and just... started crying abt griddlehark. the way you draw the light in gideon's eyes when she sees harrow in EVERY piece of yours just... the love i feel in my heart the yearning the desire the the the 🥹🥹🥹 thank you

this is so sweet ty😭😭 that is my way of manifesting soft griddlehark moments in alecto (i’m delusional)

On a brighter note I've taken to cleaning and reorganising the kitchen since I'm the one that mainly uses it now and it gives me serotonin to see my baking supply all neat and tidy.

Last week I tried my hand at making a no bake matcha cheesecake and a matcha bread with red bean paste yeee

[fennopunk]

I have learned these past couple weeks that I actually do like making bread and can make bigger batches in one go, which wasn't a possibility on my previous attempts for multiple reasons. But there's a new problem.

If there's more than "one serving" of bread, especially flat bread, my inner Pippin awakens and I WILL demolish most of the batch on one sitting.

I probably should have kept making one small bread at the time...

[theriverbeyond]

so I'm re-listening to the GTN audiobook (as one does) and THIS time i caught that the first time Gideon goes to lunch (eating leaves with her fingers, running into Silas, etc.) she just... tucks a loaf of bread into her pockets to take back to her room for later? so possibly Harrow's drawer bread was a perfectly logical follow-up to finding bread in Gideon's pockets when she searches her for keys. she's just leaving food in a manner to which Gideon has become accustomed!

OH MY GOD SHE DOES... (gtn ch 10)... and the Drawer Bread Incident didn't happen until after Avulsion (gtn ch 21) where, very crucially, Harrow lost all her clothing to the entropy friend and had to put Gideon's robe on in order to walk back to their rooms.... you know what I cannot blame Harrow at all for making the leap that if Gideon had bread in her pockets she would probably be okay if Harrow put it away for her. she was doing her a courtesy like

imagine almost dying in some kind of nefarious escape room type trial that relied on you almost (actually) killing your teammate/ servant/ enemy/ longtime crush/ complicated situationship via soul suck and losing all your clothes in the process, thereby causing her to see you nude before dying because you sucked her soul too hard. luckily, she revives, and you steal her overcloak to cover yourself and find it is for some reason full of bread, which you helpfully leave with her in a more accessible location after dragging her all the way back to your room....

JUSITICE FOR DRAWER BREAD!!!

[gideon-of-navareth]

After the “just some guy” incident I don’t trust that Hot Sauce is just called Hot Sauce because she likes hot sauce so my wife and I sat in a Subway for like twenty minutes picking out anagrams of Hot Sauce and really the only halfway legible ones were Chase Out and House Cat.

Is this anything

[crehador]

a;sdlkfj;akldsjf i'm finally making my order requests for flava2 merch and after doing so many of these forms i'm getting so mixed up

[someabsolutenonsense]

Sometimes I think too hard about Gideon Nav and then I just want to scream VALUE YOURSELF MORE DAMN IT YOU ARE IMPORTANT and then like give her a hug or something, you know how it is

[binch-i-might-be]

my grandparents had this bread cutting apparatus in a drawer in their kitchen and they were so right about that. like that thing was a fixed installation and it lived in the drawer and you could fold it up and it was basically like. a saw. and it would cut your bread and it would go back in the drawer. why don't I have something like that. where's the justice in this world

[scholarhect]

when harrow was like “do not go anywhere. i have left you some bread in a drawer” and gideon was like “i’m not eating your nasty drawer bread” and then she ate the drawer bread. i’m obsessed with them both
