I had a dream last night where I found out that Harrow the Ninth actually comes after Nona the Ninth and that was why I’ve been so confused while reading it
underrated palamedes moment when gideon first meets the sixth and camilla tosses pal the keyring from a few feet away and he completely fails to catch it. they hit his big graceful nerd hands and clatter to the ground. now that’s power. that’s sex appeal
Gideon the Ninth characters and their make your own pizza orders
Gideon: $40 uncooked pizza because she got all the toppings which means the inside is entirely soggy and uncooked. she eats it with a spoon and says it is “great”
Harrow: plain lightly buttered crust. Gideon sneaks some mushrooms on there and Harrow is Not Impressed. she also nibbles on Gideon’s pizza bones
Palamades: an aesthetic array of meat and vegetables that could have come right out of a textbook.
Camilla: solid mix of meat and veggies, carefully arranged. identical to Palamades’ in every way, she made his pizza
Coronabeth: doesn’t make her own, she walks in with a gourmet pizza from the fancy restaurant 3 doors down and no one stops her
Ianthe: somehow she gets the pizza people to just throw a pile of meat on the grill. no crust, no vegetables.
Naberius: he doesn’t get pizza but he does have to pay
Abigail: splits a pizza with Magnus. they get pineapple and a light amount of cheese
Magnus: splits a pinapple pizza with Abigail, but buys everyone a big serving of garlic knots to share
Issac: classic pepperoni but then he has them slather it in extra garlic and pesto
Jeannemary: she got the same order as Gideon but then Abigail made her scale it back so hers is actually cooked through and has structural integrity
Dulcie: aggressively lactose intolerant but she adds extra cheese anyway (life is about living)
Protesilauris: hands out lactaid to the entire table, gets 2 pizzas (one for him, one to take home to his wife)
Silas: doesn’t eat pizza.
Column: too busy babysitting Silas
Judith: basic cheese pizza. She stares longingly at the other items before turning resolutely back to her very boring pie
Marta: CARNIVORE SUPREME she got every meat option. extra garlic
One thing that drives me absolutely bonkers in Gideon’s Act V chapters is how reassuring she is. I’m not complaining, I just want you to know. It’s okay. I’m not mad, honey. Just come back. Fuck, man.
