god does it ever just hit that there’s a part of harrow that wants to be gideon’s cavalier, to compete for her hand in marriage, to meet her at a coffee shop and touch her hand by accident. Our girl is going through a list of romantic tropes. Given more time she’d have conjured up a hotel with only one bed or manufactured a lifelong ice skating rivalry. queen of creating convoluted situations that All require her & gideon to be in close contact. when u think about it isn’t canaan house also a situation like that? when u think about it wasn’t harrow’s whole life a situation like that? how far back does this go ma'am. how many pages of your journal are just lists of schemes to keep gideon close by
given how i’ve been completely unable to predict anything that’s happened in the series so far, i’m sure there are a million routes open to us that i haven’t even considered. i’m a chronic optimist and until the blood is on the page i’m hoping they walk out of this hand in hand. despite all the tragedy, my experience of the series so far has been one with an emphasis on the value of living, of connection, and of stubborn hope.
that said, i think tragedy can be satisfying too, as long as the resolution makes sense and is written with respect for the characters’ arcs. i have no choice but to trust tamsyn in this. i think she’ll do right by our girls.
