Fandom: Harrow and Gideon love each other but don’t want to admit it out right, here’s some fanart of them being married
Books: Harrow and Gideon loath eachother as much as they need eachother. They do not know how to love and therefore the love they have for each other is twisted. It is created out of codependency and mutual toxicity, yet in a way, it is morbidly beautiful.
Fandom: That makes me sad, here’s another drawing of them kissing
i sorta love how we’ll never truly know if ianthe’s written to be objectively unattractive or if harrow and gideon are both just so incredibly disgusted by her existence that they physically cannot be reliable narrators and accept that she MIGHT be somewhat sexy maybe sometimes
