in a modern au do u think harrow would be goth raised by goths or goth raised by normies..... i feel like goth raised by goth kinda cancels out her gothness similar to how a cool person raised by cool parents makes them less cool since they didnt have to work as hard for it but it feels like a disservice to pellemenea (srry for spelling im not gonna figure out how to spell her name) to make her a normie after all she did
Oh, no. The kind of Catholic who wears a veil at mass and takes Lent waaaaay too far. Harrow with a scapular and five rosaries on her person at all times. Alternatively, Protestant version: homeschooled fundie loser Harrow who wears ankle length jean skirts and has waist length hair in a bun. She still manages to be incredibly vicious while singlehandedly keeping her family’s ultra-Calvinist theological press alive.
As I’ve said in the past, I don’t think goth is the important facet of her personality, it’s nun.
#Anglican harrow who prays for #those in sorrow pain or any kind of trouble #and one day at seventeen is fucking SHOCKED #to discover that that includes herself #and has included her this whole time #who would have done confirmation class at age nine #if she weren’t already presiding bishop #who is dying to teach someone the right order to light the candles #to make god the most pleased #but nobody new ever shows up or is born #who has a really fantastic sense of timing #when it comes to ringing the liturgical bell #everyone loves it #who has memorized all the collects #(set-piece prayers in the back of the book) #just in case she ever encounters each situation #and as if the prescribed words are any real preparation for life #whose copy of Lesser Feasts and Fasts is falling apart #who is deeply unsure whether god can hear #but prays a LOT #pretty high up the candle tbh #a real sacristy rat #(tenderly)
tags @trambrosia you are soooooooo right. liturgical scrupulosity. has to pray a daily office & a compline every day. extremely strong opinions about prayer books. regards rite II with the deepest suspicion. genuflects so hard you hear her knees crack. as High as you can get but would die before she swam the Tiber
