“I hated Harrow so much at the beginning” could NOT be me. She has flair, she has panache. She stays up all night scrabbling in the dirt burying bone fragments just for the drama of the reveal. She stabs herself in the cheek so she can sign in blood. She is a control freak who puppets her dead parents around and bullies Gideon into a vow of silence. She is a singleminded swot who maps out all the doors in a massive decaying mansion the very first night. She makes herself a bone cocoon before passing out. She leaves bread in a drawer. You don’t see a grimy little freak and want to put them in a blender??
i have no clue but I hope the saints in tlt work the same way they do in catholicism I hope there’s teenagers praying to gideon the first like “saint of duty, please give me fortitude while I try to do my homework this evening”. the saint of duty can’t hear you, kid, the saint of duty is trying to murder a nun today
‘Harrow wouldn’t know how to complement Gideon because she is a wet rat goblin’
Wrong!!! Harrow spits out outrageously romantic compliments as soon as she lets herself not hate Gideon! The first compliment she says to Gideon is how good she is with her sword, the only thing Gideon might have enjoyed more than that is a compliment on her muscles!!
Harrow is the one that said “I can’t conceive of a world without you in it” and Gideon is the one that responded to that super romantic line with “sure you can. It’s just less sexy.” She’s the awkward one! Don’t let her hotness fool you!!
So so funny to me that when Nona was all “I’m not into redheads” Cam and Pal were immediately like “this is the clearest evidence we have yet that this person is not Harrow.” It gives 100% credibility to those posts that are like “everyone from the other houses were convinced that Harrow and Gideon were fucking and Harrow just brought her hunk of a girltoy to the Lyctor Trials instead of a trained cavalier and no one said anything.” Harrow was so obviously into Gideon that the concept of her not being into redheads is unfathomable even after lobotomizing herself and potentially losing all her memories and necromantic abilities.
