something so specific about how we are introduced to Lyctorhood as this thing of violent conquest: Naberius stabbed in the back with his own sword and his dead soul still fighting. and we are told (by Ianthe!) that this is just how it is.
and indeed, when Harrow is taking notes on people on the Mithraeum, one of her first assumptions about Augustine is “killed own sibling”. but that’s not true!! that didn’t happen. that didn’t happen to any of the other Lyctors. we might not know who all’s blade made the cut in each specific circumstance, but to my knowledge none of the original cavaliers died unwillingly. we learn that when there was violence and coercion, it was experienced by the necromancers, violence done unto them by the cavaliers that just keeps echoing. idk. i dont know where i’m going with this really i’m just thinking about it.
despite thinking she is following all the steps to the letter, Ianthe did in some way just go and invent her own version of Lyctorhood. for girlboss reasons.
the urge to wrap up a local Harrow in blankets, either as comfort or restraint
feelings of sexual desire or romantic interest towards a local Harrow (may be difficult to distinguish from feelings of anger and rage)
the sense of abandonment, confusion, or loss of identity when one is separated or apart from a Harrow for extended periods of time
the overwhelming urge to be bitten, eaten, used, or otherwise be an asset to the local Harrow
sense or urge to self sacrifice onseself in service to the local Harrow (an escalation of the above - a medical emergency and symptom of late stage Nonagesimitis)
*If you experience any of these symptoms for LONGER THAN 4 HOURS or have a Nonagesimitis Severity Index (NSI) score of over 80%, please contact your physician and proceed to the local emergency room*
I am always thinking about how back on the Ninth, a planet so poor you would think every resource would be used to its maximal limit, Gideon Nav was basically allowed to dick around and do whatever she wanted. And that is because her job was actually “Harrowhark’s Meat Pumpkin”
Gideon Nav fumbling bad bitches left and right like every woman at Canaan House would have had her carnally but she was too busy being shy and fumbling the bag. king 👑
imagine giving your whole soul to a girl to have her suck on you like a capri sun until blood comes out of your ears then see her naked pass out stumble back together to your rooms where she puts you to bed and then wake up to drawer bread. bread in a drawer. gideon was so real for being upset over that my girl at least deserved a pizza
me and my girl don’t argue, she gently lets me down after our 15 year penpal courtship in which I dedicated my entire life & scholarship to her and tried & failed to save her from the eugenics cancer cult she was born into and i walk it off like a man
It is ONLY the file for sale, NOT the figurine itself—but there are many resin printing services on etsy should you (like me) NOT have ready access to a resin printer, and want to print & paint yourself! The artist states there are no current plans for a Griddle figurine but…… maybe if TLT fans show a lot of interest….???
per the artist, due to NtN being chiseled off Alecto, the Alecto cover art has actually been done since well before NtN was even announced….. no AtN cover reveal yet is making me understand Harrow so much. ready to commit unspeakable acts of taboo bc Alecto is real she’s in there she’s waiting she is just insensate, with closed eye and stilled brain….. I pray it lives I pray it sleeps I pray it is revealed soon 💀 🙏 💀 Let It Be So
me and my girl don’t argue, she deludes me into thinking she is a terminally ill 26 year old while conspiring to destroy the Empire and kill all my friends and I walk it off like a man
