> what i really love about That dinner scene in harrow the ninth (no not dios apate minor the other That one) is that it is strongly implied in the text that john like. knew what was in the soup from the very beginning. we get told that he had a single spoonful before immediately putting it down and taking “a discreet sip of water” and obviously on first reading it’s just sort of “oh lmao harrow’s cooking is That Bad” but actually the thing is that everyone else eats it with minimal complaints so like. it can’t actually just be that the soup was objectively THAT bad right. no he 100% knew what was up right away especially considering his utter lack of surprise when harrow then Makes Her Move and all. which then makes it insanely funny to me that instead of. you know. DOING ANYTHING about the fact that all of his friends and disciples were eating human bone marrow which is a thing he personally finds disgusting and possibly even thinks is morally wrong, depending on how you interpret “ten thousand years since i’ve eaten human being and i didn’t really want an encore”. instead of stepping in and doing anything about this and maybe asking harrow “hello what is up with this behavior” he simply decides to sit there and watch everyone else at the table chow down and make polite conversation about the meal while they’re at it. like. he REALLY just chose to let it play all the way out to its conclusion for the drama of it all. just for laughs. if i had to be a cannibal once then so do all of my friends. can’t wait to see what shenanigans harrowhark gets up to next. i literally cannot with this man he is so sinister and manipulative but also just genuinely so FUCKING FUNNY sometimes what an absolute dickhead i’m obsessed with him
