Ortus: I believe that we are trapped in a labyrinth of, consciously or unconsciously, Lady Harrowhark’s making. Although she is a mere seventeen years of age, she has endured enough pain and accrued enough power to fell a Lyctor. Do not underestimate the machinations of her dark, twisted mind.
The machinations of Harrow’s dark, twisted mind: What if I was Gideon’s cavalier 🤔🤔🤔🗡🗡🗡What if she was a charming princess and I was an impoverished little nun 🤴🤴🤴💓💓💓 What if she worked at a coffee shop ☕☕☕🤗🤗🤗

The fucking layers of Barbie Alecto
- A man forcing his own ideas of beauty onto a woman.
- The woman being the soul of the Earth itself and the ideals being based on a literal plastic doll. Plastic. The thing that notably slowly kills the Earth.
- The profound repulsion she feels with the supposedly beautiful body thrust upon her by a man.
- Barbies being considered the ideal of beauty either way and Alecto being unhappy with the looks.
- John’s mortal enemy being capitalism and him still basing Alecto’s body on one of the most sold toys ever. His own inherent lack of immunity to capitalism. Something something full circle.
- Speaking fo which, the body of the soul of Earth being based on a doll. A toy. A literal plaything.
There is SO MUCH to Barbie Alecto I am chewing glass.
I’m sure someone else could make this into a proper coherent analysis but this is as coherent as I’m able to get when talking about The Locked Tomb thank you for understanding

It would be kind of hilarious if Harrow used her favor from Alecto immediately to resurrect Gideon and they just fuck off for the rest of the book. Like, god? A war? Resurrection beasts? That’s not my problem I got my dead girlfriend back and I can finally kiss her so we’re gonna go do that for the next 300 pages and everyone else can figure out what to do next because we’ve been through Enough
