Details For Locked Tomb Fan Artists

The point of this post is to provide a reference to fan artists in The Locked Tomb fandom, since there are details that artists - myself included here - sometimes miss. I encourage other fans to add on to this post.

Alright, rest goes under the cut for space:

Gideon Nav has warm-colored brown skin. As Kiriona Gaia, it has a waxy quality to it.

Harrow and Nona have skin that has a brown hue to it similar to Gideon's. Muir has said Harrow/Nona is lighter skinned than Gideon, which is refected in the cover art.

G1deon and Pyrrha are dark-skinned.

John has brown skin.

Camilla has brown skin.

Coronabeth has tanned/golden skin. Muir has said she has envisioned Coronabeth as Pakeha/white, but she'd still be a Pakeha/white woman with a distinct tan, not alabaster pale.

Coronabeth and Ianthe are tall. Like 6 feet tall, plus Coronabeth's hair. They're taller than Babs! Fan artists should absolutely drawn Coronabeth and Ianthe towering over Babs. 😉

G1deon and Pyrrha have scars on their chest and arms.

Wake's got a lot of hair. It's not short by any means. (Ask me how many pieces of fan art I had to fix for my fan vid with her after I recalled this lolsob.)

G1deon and Pyrrha have red hair.

It's Ianthe's right arm that's skeletal.

Ranking TLT Characters by How Much I’d Like to Smoke With Them

in another installment of “posts literally no one wants” i will be breaking down which tombies id wanna smoke with the most and why, ranked from least to most want to smoke with them. I am not doing Everyone bc that wd kill me to death. i thought so much harder ab this than i meant to godbless

14. the second house. why wd i wanna smoke with fucking cops? NEXT!!

13. the eighth. why wd i wanna smoke with a creepy priest and his creepy cousin or uncle or whatever i forgot bc i do NOT care ab them

12. alecto. i just dont think she wd be able to get high which wd make the whole thing very awkward

11. nona. cd probably get high bc its a human body but i think she wd get paranoid. however if she cd handle it i think she wd be fun

10. john. if i wanted to get high with a pathetic old man i wd call my dad

9. the fifth. i think they wd a bring a fun and cool vibe but also they have very strong parent energy and i hate being high around my parents

8. ianthe. she wd be all “ohh yeah i know how to smoke i LOVE doing drugs im cool” and then she wd start coughing. but i also cough a lot so this cannot impact her ranking very much. i also just think she wd be annoying but in a fun way. wd not share her weed

7. corona. same as yanthe but more likely to share her weed bc of her liberalization. 

6. pal. philosophical high, kind of pretentious but i like him so i am kicking my feet and twirling my hair and telling him how smart he is. i never said it was an unbiased ranking. he wd invent a new religion

5. dulcinea. we barely know her however she has a stoner vibe to me i think she wd bring a fun lighthearted energy

4. pyrrah. used to be a cop and yall know where i stand on smoking with cops. HOWEVER that was 10,000 years ago i think she’d have a cool vibe. like a dad who smokes with u in shitty folding chairs in the backyard in summer yk like this is an afternoon high and its very chill

3. harrow. i just think it wd be very funny is all. i think she wd enter the stratosphere i think she wd be fried off one hit. i think she wd smoke a bowl on her own anyway to prove a point that does not exist and have an existential crisis.

2. cam. her ass wd roll the fattest, tightest joint. she cd hit a bong and not cough once. she is an icon. i cannot fathom how she wd act high. i wish i cd find out

1. gideon. honestly she just has the vibes of “my favorite guy at the smoke sesh” like she wd share her weed, she wd absolutely help u make a grav bong, and she wd be funny as hell. the one i can most easily imagine coming to the smoke sesh if she was real

I am rereading* Harrow the Ninth and it is... deeply amusing how noodly Harrow clearly is. The Sword is described as being 'six feet long' which, yeah, a big boy of a sword. But existing swords that big only weigh like, 6 kilos, maybe? Eight at a stretch? Not easy to swing around, but, like... a ten year old could carry that around without getting back problems. So either Harrow really is just the noodliest nerd ever to nerd, or Gideon had a sword made out of osmium or something. Either is hilarious.

*listening to, and I am here to tell you that Moira Quirk's delivery is i n c r e d i b l e

[harrowharks-iliac-crest]

Let's start the next chapter then, I think tomorrow might be one of those days where I don't get to liveblog much (or at all).

Another flashback, to Canaan house, with Ortus.

The skull shows 4. (Chapter 7 showed 6. I reckon, then, it's not related much to the people we see in each chapter, but rather - which type of body magic we will get to see? Or something? I don't have enough data yet to draw up a pattern, unless I wanna go back and catalogue skulls and chapters for GtN.)

(I'm still not ruling that out. For now, we're sticking with Harrow.)

dropping big handfuls of something green and white for people to gingerly crush beneath their feet as they walked under the cracked marble arches of the First House dock. She had realised with a thrill of frugal, exotic horror that it was plant matter.

Right, yeah, you won't see much of that in the dark mining shaft that is the Ninth.

Gideon never mentioned the skeletons in Canaan house being dressed, not that I recall.

“Pray only that my bones be one day interred in the Anastasian monument, where even the ghost of the light does not go,” said Ortus, in front of everybody, like an absolute shit.

Cross-ref time to Gideon:

(Oh, actually the skeletons here are also clothed. Gideon just didn't dwell on it like Harrow did.)

Harrow began: “I pray the tomb is shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away…”

Interesting - in Gideon, Harrow says the prayer; in Harrow, Ortus did. Harrow, in Gideon, does not receive a blessing. Ortus does.

Oh, this next bit is different too.

In Gideon the Ninth:

“I will not tell you what you already know,” said the little priest. “I seek only to add context. The Lyctors were not born immortal. They were given eternal life, which is not at all the same thing. Sixteen of them came here a myriad ago, eight adepts and the eight who would later be known as the first cavaliers, and it was here that they ascended...

In Harrow the Ninth:

“Now I will tell you something new, something you are not meant to know: about the First House, and about the research facility. “The base of Canaan House dates back to before the Resurrection. We first built upward, to get away from the sea; then we built outward, to strive toward beauty … This was meant to be the palace of the Kindly Master, where he might work and hold court and live for always, and oversee all the rebuilding that had to be done. For the Resurrection did not resurrect every broken thing, you understand, and nor did it create anything new. There was hard work ahead—fixing, or designing, and it took a great deal of blood and sweat and bone. Yet those were lovely years, happy ones. And that was the time before Lyctors.”

I won't bother copying all of both texts, but they are markedly different. Both are very different pieces of exposition.

This is fascinating.

Someone spoke up—the Fifth woman—and she said, fearlessly and amiably: “Then the path to Lyctorhood is independent research? Gosh! And it isn’t even my birthday.” One of the young people sitting close to the Fifth made a sound like an exhausted balloon squeal.

Oh how I've missed Magnus, Abigail, and the wretched teens. <3

Wow, no, seriously though - this is a completely different scene. A completely different atmosphere. Where in Gideon, Teacher seems jolly, hopeful and kinda clueless - in Harrow, Teacher is warning them of their imminent deaths at the hand of an immortal entity, which sleeps, but can be woken if you are too loud, and can't come up above the laboratories - unless it can, in which case well, guess we're all gonna die.

I canNOT get over how different this feels.

“Harrowhark—I don’t understand why you chose me.” Harrow said, “There was nobody else.” His mask slipped, and not the mask made of alabaster and black paint. Ortus looked at her with his steady dark gaze, and his heavy face flickered; she realised with electrified astonishment that he was exasperated. “You never did possess an imagination,” he said,

This is some kind of clue, I'm sure of it. Does Gideon exist to this Ortus? I almost hope so.

Harrow the Ninth, Chapter 49

(Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For detail on The Locked Tomb coverage and the index, read this one! Like what you see? Send me a Ko-Fi.)

(Slashed Ninth House icon) In which an epic battle is fought.

"I am the Emperor's Hand; do not thou persist in this combat; matchless am I with the long blade--"

As Ortus recites his epic poem, Harrow defends against the Sleeper long enough to summon the spirit of Mathias Nonius, the subject of the poem, from the River. He actually manages to stop the Sleeper's bullets, though he's confused as to why he's speaking in verse,(1) then disables her gun. They spar for some more pages, during which Harrow wishes her Griddle were there even though even she wouldn't be able to really provide a running commentary on the fight. The space actually starts to warp under the stress of the struggle for power. Eventually Nonius wins, and the Sleeper appears to die. Cautiously, Harrow approaches and removes her mask. She recognizes the poster from the shuttle with Corona and Judith, but otherwise has no idea who she is, though there's something familiar about the brow and jaw.(2) She finds a dogtag that reads "AWAKE".(3)

Abigail confirms that Harrow is no longer haunted by the Sleeper, but she may still have a footing on the mortal side of things. Also, the bubble is starting to strain too far, it's undergone too many transformations. Nonius asks leave of Harrow to join the Lyctor, the Saint of Duty, Nonius's rival and ally, fighting alone in the River. Besides the realization that Nonius really DID fight a Lyctor in his time, Harrow realizes that things have gone horribly wrong. If Duty is fighting alone then he's already dead. Nigenad and Protesilaus say they'll go too, with Pro quoting from some of his own poetry to reinforce the point.(4) Marta joins them because of the unwritten Cohort rule: "Chickenshits don't get beer". Abigail sends them to where they need to be, and then…

Harrow asks Abigail what's next. Abigail says Harrow can either go to the River, or go home. Harrow can't go back and risk killing Gideon, but Magnus drives the point home that Harrow can't be a mausoleum to her cav forever. Harrow finally decides she must go home to her body.(5) Magnus asks Harrow to pass along that Jeanne wanted to say hi to Gideon. Abigail and Magnus dismiss themselves, but Dulcinea stays behind, to tell Harrow something.(6)

=====

(1) The power of belief is the power of the River bubble. He believes that he has been elevated, so of course he has the power to deflect the evil bullets the Sleeper has believed into existence. However, Ortus's poem was what summoned him, with Abigail's power of belief in turn, and perhaps it's their belief in the poetry that influence Nonius's speech in turn, the way Harrow's party's collective belief strain the bubble's sense of reality in competition with the Sleeper's as the fight goes on. (2) Hmm, so someone high up in the BOE, enough to get posters of her likeness. Is this who's been thinking those thoughts Harrow keeps picking up on? And, I suppose it's lucky that Harrow's remembered Gideon, so doesn't react now with her aneurysm bursting, the way she did when she saw the poster in the living realm… (3) That's a funny word to find on a dogtag in a dream. (4) Two things. One, Ortus and Pro would be absolutely unbearable to spend time with together. Two, the verse Pro quotes has 14 syllables, which is, of course, divisible by 7, so he likely writes, as Ortus does, in a number of poetic feet that matches his House. I just think it's a cute touch. (5) Considering Harrow got stuck and literally couldn't go back at the beginning of this sequence, I'm not sure that's going to be as easy as it sounds. (6) What in all the worlds could Dulcie have to say? Find out in a future instalment!

My #1 post of 2022

I truly believe that nona is alecto/the body for the very simple and vitally important reason that harrow and nona/alecto/the body will meet at some point and harrow will be like O immortal Body, I have kept troth with you these many long and darkling years, I have sworn my heart, worthless thing though it may be, to you, I cast my fragile and aching body at your feet (and etc etc)

and the Body will look at her with those ineffable golden eyes and open her imperfectly beautiful mouth and say, her own true voice ringing out in harrow's ears for the very first time, "Hi! I like dogs, do you like dogs? I kissed you in the mirror once. Do you want to be best friends?"

And harrow will instantly be like Ohhh :/// I'm cured. I'm not in love with her anymore. where's gideon. ianthe? anyone.

I love your Canaan House lineup art so much!! Can I ask how tall you have the various chars? Unless Harrow is over 6 foot it doesnt seem like the lines in the background are feet...😅

Ah thanks! :D

Yeah, the bg lines in the character drawings are probably a little confusing... they’re units based on Gideon’s head height. I draw Harrow as 5′3″ - the shortest character aside from the terrible teens, lol.

Here are the heights of all the Locked Tomb characters I’ve drawn:

A Locked Tomb Fanmix But It’s All Classic Country

this exists entirely because one night the thought “but what if i made a Locked Tomb fanmix with only classic country songs” popped into my head, unprompted, and i thought it was too hilarious to not do.

the art on the cover is done by @starfleetofficial​​, who this mix is also dedicated to. thank you for recommending me these books, continuously “yes, and”ing my semi-coherent TLT messages sent at 5 in the morning, and being so supportive about this idea. (also check out her version, A HtN fanmix but it’s all Fiona Apple!) the cover design is referencing the famous Marty Robbins album, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs.

my one listening note: this will probably be more enjoyable if it’s approached with an open mind and an expectation that it’s taking itself about as seriously as the official fanmixes do.

see below the cut for a song list and some lyric excerpts.

this mix has implicit spoilers for both Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth.

[carrigerpigeon]

Should I introduce myself to all these new people? I guess I should.

Name’s Ty, although most people in the fandom call me Pidge. Nonbinary butch lesbian, they/them pronouns. I get very excited about very ridiculous things (usually related to lesbians). I am but your humble lesbian pigeon weasel who drives this here lesbian bus, where I also dabble as a  supreme shitposter, question-asker extraordinaire, and lesbian smut writer.

I’m the main admin behind @fuckyeahgailcarriger​. I usually receive an ARC for all of Gail’s work, so I don’t liveblog like I used to. That being said, this blog is NOT a spoiler-free zone, as I usually have to sit on my book excitement for months, so as soon as I can talk about it here I FUCKING DO. I have somehow migrated from fan of Gail Carriger to friend; I’m still not certain how that happened and am fairly confident this is all an elaborate fever dream.

Beyond this blog, which is exclusively for content related to Gail Carriger’s work (who can be found @gailcarriger), I can be found being angry and gay on my main blog, @toastweasel​. Although most days I’m angry and gay on Twitter (@tmkuta) instead.

Now that you’re here....

1) Go preorder The Enforcer Enigma, out August 1, cuz the fucking SELKIE MOB is back.

2) If you sign up for Gail’s newsletter she’ll send you Marine Biology, free a short story that began the universe TEE is in. You’ll get to meet the OG selkie mob for free. And cute gay boys, I guess. Also you’ll get to be subscribed to Gail’s once-monthly newsletter, which is terminally delightful and often includes cute pictures of her cat.

2a) (Also out in August in Harrow the Ninth, so you should go preorder that and also preorder Gideon the Ninth. Those are also lesbian as hell and a fucking delight.)

3) Gail Carriger reading order is here if you’re new to her stuff.

4) If that looks list looks big and scary and you’re just here for the lesbians, might I recommend Romancing the Inventor (tw: sexual assault) or Competence, which can be read independently of the main series (in my humble pigeon opinion).

5) My thirsty sapphic Sidheag/Aggie fanfic is here (along with some original thirsty lesbian/sapphic shit, too, all for free cuz I’m generous like that). Leave comments, ya filthy animals.

6) Also donate to your local chapter of Black Lives Matter and buy books written by Black folks! I’ll reblog some lists in a bit. I highly recommend ordering and reading Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole while you wait.

Anyway, I think that’s it. Welcome, y’all. Go wild!  Put your feet up on the coffee table, Idgaf. Just take ‘em off before the wife gets home or she’ll be mad. :)

[ramblinganthropologist]

I keep thinking about my novel protagonist pair after reading Gideon and Harrow and my brain accidentally swapped the heavies.

Basically it would turn into Rose and Gideon discussing workout shit after giant green lady with tusks wears off. Fairly productive. Rose is used to snarky redheads after all.

Meanwhile Holly is standing 6 feet away from Harrow trying not to get close enough for her illness to kick in from all the magic she kicks off. Necromancy gives her hives apparently. Harrow is unimpressed with dragon girl. The feeling is mutual, squirt.

If I had art capabilities an outfit swap would be quite amusing.

(Also pairing the heavies and mages like... harrow judging the fuck out of Rose for what she's using her magic on. Rose doesn't care she got worse from her family. So she tunes her out lol. Meanwhile the heavies are like this is my sword. This is my guitar. Excellent. Your mage is also so tied up in their work obsession they don't notice anything else? Bro. Press F.)

Okay wow, very impressed with the camera on this phone!! Finally I can get my whole book wall in one shot without having to awkwardly squash myself into a corner!

Hey y'all, my friend recently had to have her hip replaced due to bone damage from Avascular Necrosis, and due to struggles with her insurance company is on the hook for the full cost of surgery + treatment + mobility aids etc. If you have a couple dollars to spare I'd greatly appreciate it! If not I'd appreciate if you can signal boost 💖

Bre is such an amazing, strong woman and I'm so proud of her bravery and grace during this whole ordeal. I can't wait for her to get back on her feet (literally) and to see her once this blasted pandemic is over!!

Okay so, caught up on Crime Junkie. Not sure what to listen to next...started Generation Why but while it's informative, it's also a bit dull. If anyone has recs for true crime/supernatural/general weird stuff podcasts please send em my way! The ones I've listened to and enjoyed are:

My Favorite Murder

Crime Junkie

True Crime Garage

Cult Podcast

Thinking Sideways (only listened to a few eps so far but it's all right, just not totally binge-able as the dude hosts annoy me sometimes)

Supernatural with Ashley Flowers

Red Web
