I deeply despise the idea that Harrowhark would give up her Ninth faith–prayer, veiling, face paint–if she went to Space Therapy.

Tamsyn Muir has written such a deeply, sincerely religious character and it seems so many readers simply can’t comprehend that side of Harrowhark.

i think some readers see john and harrow interact in HTN and think, “oh, she’s disillusioned with him and losing her religion,” but that isn’t fully it. she’s questioning whether john himself is god, not losing her faith in the existence of god itself.

She looked away from him, and she said: "I want to journey to find God. Maybe, at the end of that road, I will find God in you, Teacher ... the God who became man and the man who became God. Or, perhaps, the child of the Nine Houses will recognise a different divine. But I am the Reverend Daughter- I am the Reverend Mother, the Reverend Father -I must find God, or some aspect of God, and understand it for myself ... even if she lies, right now, within the Tomb."ALT

when we last see her in NTN, she’s going on a journey to find god, not losing her relationship to her faith!

#why is it so hard to belive that insane teenage queer girls can also be fundamentally and deeply religious @soldier-poet-king

#it’s so important to me that she’s a nun @imnotverybright

#YEAH FROM UR LOCAL VERY SINCERELY RELIGIOUS LESBIAN#THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HER CHARACTER#AND ITS SORT OF RARE TO SEE SO ITS V IMPORTANT TO ME @ptolemia
