let’s talk about the early stages of hyperfixation where you can literally feel your brain getting doses of serotonin because of a show or a movie or a person or a character and mentally you’re like ‘ooooh no’ but it’s like a blackhole you can’t run or escape from so you just gotta ride it out knowing full well the next few months maybe even years are going to be spent mindlessly obsessing over this thing
some thoughts on gideon nav, from my playlist: twinkle lights by the sonder bombs | gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir | laplace’s angel (hurt people? hurt people!) by will wood | up the wolves by the mountain goats | harrow the ninth by tamsyn muir | i’m gonna win by rob cantor | guns for hire by woodkid | children of god by ajj | nona the ninth by tamsyn muir
as it stands harrow still does not know gideon is god’s daughter. it is going to be such an insane reckoning when harrow comes back, looks at gideon and goes “what the fuck are you wearing” only for gideon to hit her with “well i am a prince you know”
can you imagine chuckling at none pizza with left beef and then living through the death of humanity and resurrecting a chunk of it and becoming a god figure to the new society you create and then 10,000 years later referencing it in conversation to a horribly traumatized teenager who has no possible frame of reference for this ancient meme that no one else alive has ever heard of
my girl wronged by the narrative, my girl haunting her own story, my girl dead in the first act, my girl the blank in between the lines, my girl the phantom of the past the apparition of the future
the story is about her but also it’s not about her at all. also it turns out the entire story is because of her, but not really. she’s the main character but she’s been dead for a year. she’s the key to the narrative but the narrative doesn’t even know her. if you even care
shoutout to judith deuteros for, in a series full of people simply not having a good time of it right now, being in probably the top five people consistently simply not having a good time of it right now. again I cannot exaggerate how stiff the competition she’s up against is, but for three books now nothing good has ever happened to judith deuteros and no one but corona seems to worry overmuch about it
harrow the ninth is a book that fully encapsulates the feeling of having been awake for three days straight on a horrific end-of-term study bender when you haven’t been to class since the first day
good morning to birthday girls, librarians with separation anxiety, dads who are MILFs, assorted traumatized school children, the hottest member of the militia and her comatose gf, sisters who act like ex-boyfriends, vengeful planetoids, guys who ended the world, the saddest girl in the universe, and of course, good morning to Barbie!
gideon had no family all her life and now she has a dad and a cousin. she doesn’t even know about the cousin. they should be friends tho. or enemies. when it comes to tlt what’s the difference
wow, ok, unfollowing now. was a big fan of his twitch stream where he cured cancer, had no idea he constructed a giant flesh wall out of a herd of cows
how is harrow going to react when she finds out that Gideon is the daughter of god. like how is harrowhark nonagesimus, a literal nun, going to respond to that. personally I’m hoping for some dramatics
