ok but the fact that harrow’s redemption arc is also gideon’s corruption arc. the fact that they come out of the pool scene nodding in agreement despite having come to two wildly different conclusions. the fact that their one moment of real open honest communication still somehow ends in a horrible irreconcilable disconnect.
like. harrow wants gideon to start walking beside her at the same time as gideon masters walking a half-step behind. harrow wants to share the bed the one night gideon sleeps on the cavalier cot harrow comes to fully understand and accept that treating gideon as a subordinate was wrong and unfair, at the same time as gideon stops thinking of herself as harrow’s rightful equal.
it’s fucked up it’s horrible and harrow is too caught up in all her feelings to see it until it’s too late and gideon has still just barely begun to figure it out.
i. i just. she could have lived for her but she didn’t know how.
because to do that, to acknowledge that that was even an option, she would have to view herself as being as worthy of life as harrow. and she didn’t. she didn’t and she couldn’t. it didn’t even occur to her. she could have lived for her but she didn’t know how.
Back at it again at Krispy Kreme…. Aka the locked tomb.
Cytherea-as-Dulcinea sketch! Eventually I want to design a couple looks for everyone from the first book to match the busts I drew, so this is a start.
I headcannon Dulcie as an ambulatory wheelchair user, but sometimes uses a walker— she likes wheels, and after years of similar cancers her home is extremely accessible.
I also HC that the mythraeum isn’t accessible at all (like Canaan house) so Cyth uses forearm crutches, a cane, or bone constructs/beguiling corpses like Pro in trickier areas when she needs to move more quietly.
griddlehark beanie baby update: THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!! but also i did NOT realize when ordering that they made beanie babies in different sizes (???) so have accidentally recreated the griddlehark canon height gap help 😭
one of my favorite things about gideon is the characterization of “born 2 be jock 😎🔥💪 forced 2 be goth 😔☠️🦴” like quite literally one of the funniest character choices i’ve seen an author make and pull off
adamantly anti TLT movie/series adaptation but adamantly pro TLT video game adaptation. it is the only way to recreate the authentic experience of not knowing what the fuck is happening
“objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz” is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it’s so great when there’s an absurdly hot person who’s just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you’re so sucks.
I can’t participate properly in Inktober this year, but when’s a better time to post spooky skeleton arms than October? So here’s the universe’s most terrible apple enthusiast, accidentally matching today’s theme – dangerous.
