Something that i’ve been biting my tongue about since literally page 11 of Gideon the Ninth, but that never fails to make me giggle whenever i pick it back up:
Harrowhark’s name being, essentially, Behold: the horrors.
Harrow: to cause distress
Hark: listen or attention
Pelleamena and Priamhark really sat down and named their hard-won genocidal spawn Behold The Horrors and nothing could possibly be more on brand for this book or really the ninth house as a whole
ianthe: haha harrow wants me so bad it makes her look stupid 😈
mercy: why didn’t i kill myself ten thousand years ago
john gaius: [playing 2048 on his ipad] my life is completely normal and great and my friends all love each other :)
gideon the first: i think i have encephalitis
augustine: when i’m in the club yeah im bumpin that 365 party girl bumpin that should we do a lil key should we have a lil line wanna go real wild when im bumpin that meet me in the bathroom if you’re bumpin that 365 party girl bumpin that french manicure wipe away the residue
tazmuir could simply rerelease gideon the ninth over and over again but from the perspective of all of the different characters at canaan house and i would be tuned the fuck in. like the drama of all of their different expectations and relationships…. coronabeth living her hot girl summer… judith experiencing Sapphic Hell…. isaac and jeannemary on the world’s weirdest family vacation…. palamedes living out a deeply repressed regency era romance…. silas filled with loathing for every single person there…. delightful. canaan house drives me crazy. it’s like if love island was survivor

where are my noniad heads!! I remembered after 2 years I still had some other parts sketched out that i might as well finish
