thinking about how harrow comes from ‘harrowing of hell’ which is jesus saving the dead and hark comes from a xmas song that announces the arrival of a new king “Born that man no more may die Born to raise the sons of earth Born to give them second birth”. how gideon is basically jesus and named after a guy from the bible who rejected the offer to become a king. how alecto is john’s devil and harrow’s first love and, as nona, thought she was pretty with harrow’s face and yellow eyes — hers and gideon’s eyes! — and perfect lyctorhood involves exchanging eye colors. how griddlehark are technically married and both from the first house (harrowhark the first and kiriona gaia) and since gideon is recognized as the emperor’s heir then if something happens to him, she’d be the new king undying (impenetrable skin, walking corpse) and harrow her spouse, except gideon from the bible didn’t become a king and the entire point of gideon’s existence is harrow and how could she be the emperor of necromancers if she isn’t a necromancer herself? she wants a family, she wants love, she wants harrow, she wants to be the cavalier of the king and she could get all of this if harrow was the king.

but what about the RBs? something is up with cassiopeia and if she and other og lyctors came back (as suggested by the lyrics of Hark the Herald Angels Sing) they could solve it all. they could solve the imperfect lyctorhoods with something like paul or by rebuilding the cavs, idk. what i Know, however, is that the stage is set and i want to see what fucked up shit tamsyn will bring to the table.
