spending all of Harrow the Ninth drowning in Harrow's grief and seeing the gaping maw that Gideon's death has rent into her whole existance, and then getting smacked in the face by Nona the Ninth and the apperance of Kiriona Gaia and realizing that Gideon really just does not know. Gideon does not fucking know how much Harrow loves her. Gideon thinks she was abandoned and thrown away and that she gave her life for nothing and based on the information she has avalible to her that is like, a totally reasonable assumption.
head in hands i understand why she wanted to become Kiriona. she spent her childhood being told she was nothing and no one, abused by everyone who could have shown her care. she learned that she was created only to be a bomb. the one thing she had was Harrow. and then she felt like Harrow abandoned her, threw her away like trash. just like everyone else. fuck. no wonder she wants to just be the Daughter of God. no wonder she shed her name, given to her by the Ninth that hated her and the Mother that only created her for slaughter. no wonder she wants to reject everything that had rejected her. fuck.

Look Kristen is a kid so its understandable and Ally is great and I'm sure has a plan for this. But Kristen should not be a cleric lol. I hope that after the wizard synogue incident Cassandra takes the Archfey deal to keep herself safe and Kristen loses her powers because honestly based on her RP that girl has NO wisdom. She has NEGATIVE wisdom. If you don't like the gods currently on offer but can't take responsibility for keeping a new one alive (because you're a kid) then you should just respec. Pick a charisma-based spellcaster class that doesn't require a bunch of work like the Int classes or responsibility like the Wis classes. Give up your soul to Fig (or just give it back to newly-Archfey Cassandra) for Warlock spells idk.

im seeing the pattern of being an atreus/angrboda fan (or u just like them) and having to go through this weird initiation process of: liking them in the game (wether its themselves, their relationship or both), then trying to find content of them only to be shocked to see a bunch of haters (on both sides but angrboda gets it the worst and thrud is often times oddly used against her), only to then get severely disappointed and realize u probably have to do a bit of contribution yourself which isnt bad but it sucks when its characters that are ridiculously hated 😭😭😭

Aw fuck okay but the way that Naomi Novik just ruthlessly doubled down on her use of enclaves as commentary on capitalism and classism has me STUNNED.
Here are these safe places where only the best wizards can get in! They’re so cool! They literally take the sacrifice of a human being- someone who is completely innocent because they’re strict mana, who has spent their life working harder than everyone else to get on the same level.
But wait! There’s more! Then it takes those honest people who do things right and forces them to steal mana, twisting them into something unrecognizable to serve the very people who did it to them!
Now is that just me or does that sound like some good ol capitalist exploitation

i wish i was less shy abt my writing skills regarding dialogue bc i would lobe to draw or write fritz and ezrahs conversations after fritzs first stint as a pseudoangel (which ended with the kid she was overseeing dying horribly in front of her which obviously messdd her up very badly) which i think gives a lot of context for why she hate(s/ed) him so so deeply. needless to say he did not do a very good job of being supportive for her during that time LOL

No bc consider: They find Souda in his workshop, under the car and _oh god he's not moving_ everyone's devastated ofc but they start discussing who has an alibi and stuff... Souda wakes up to his friends discussing who killed him. He was just working on the car & passed out because he hasn't been sleeping well
It is now forbidden to take naps in suspicious locations. They can't take those kinda scares
