> > gideon the ninth is good because it presents the inherent comedy of one character raised in a catholic death cult in space and taking it really, REALLY seriously and another character raised in the same catholic death cult in space and being like “lol this is so fucking stupid”

> what’s also inherently really fucking funny is that the character that’s like ‘lol this is so fucking stupid’ is actually jesus

> but ALSO harrow does perform for gideon a lot of the time. It’s just that the thing she performs is vastly different from the thing she performs for everyone else. She’s performing devout mysterious queen for everyone else but for gideon specifically she is performing Archnemesis. Like she is hamming it up a little for attention. She is showing off all the cool things she can do. she wants gideon to witness her sweet bone moves

> Yknow I was gonna say “Hey what if Mercymorn was pissy about John eating peanuts at the admiralty meeting not bc she’s, uh, Mercy, but because he’s allergic but also immortal and so he was just tamping down his anaphylactic shock as it happened only Mercymorn could absolutely tell that’s what he was doing”

> But then I also remembered the author is a Homestuck and while this only lends credence to my theory it also makes me feel irrationally disgruntled. Of course John has a peanut allergy and would eat them anyways since it won’t kill him now. Of course.

> one of my favorite random parts of Gideon the Ninth is when Gideon watches the skeletons push all the shuttles into the ocean and then never mentions it to anyone, ever.
