screenshot of tweet that says "thinking today of a tlt and hdm crossover, just vague ideas but like lyctors' daemons suddenly changing to their cav's daemons after lyctorization and harrow not having a daemon bc she's a mini res baby and gideon straight up having some fantasy creature as a daemon"ALT
Gideon is drawn leaning against a platform. She has brown skin, reddish orange hair, and her eyes are obscured by aviator sunglasses. She is smiling lopsidedly. She has on sleeveless black shirt which exposes her muscular arms, a black cloak, and black pants. her left hand is loosely holding on to her sword. on top of the platform she's leaning against stands a small growlithe, which is a pokemon. growlithe looks a little like a dog with beige on orange fur, but has black stripes in the fur like a cat. the growlithe daemon has a plume of beige fur on top of his head as well, has on a good natured smile and is wearing aviator sunglasses just like gideon.ALT
screenshot of tweet that says "harrow piloting some dead creature like an insect in a locket to pretend to be her daemon to avoid questions. harrow thinking maybe the girl locked in the tomb is her daemon, that she's finally found hers. and then gideon dies, and harrow suddenly has a daemon."ALT
screenshot of tweet that says "gideon dying and leaving harrow with her hideously bright gaudy daemon that cannot be ignored, that's proof that harrow has a soul. harrow suddenly unable to see the daemon after her lobotomy even though other people comment on it as if it's still there."ALT
On the left side is a drawing of Harrow with a locket around her neck, which is a tiny cage inside which an insect is flying around, a dead thing piloted by harrow to pretend to be her daemon. Next to Harrow is a closeup of the locket, showing the intricated work of bead and thread that make up the locked string, and the intricate cage of the locket itself. Harrow has light brown skin, a sharp face with high cheekbones and large black eyes, black hair short-cropped hair with highlights that look almost blue, and she's wearing a black cassock that looks brown in the lighting. In the background is sketchy lineart of growlithe running after lyctor harrow, while mercy, john and augustine watch bemusedly in the background. Mercy has her hands on her hips and she's saying YUCK!!! John is silent and has his hands folded but above him is the equations from the math lady meme. Augustine has his hands in his pockets and he just looks silently nonplussed.ALT
screenshot of tweet that says: "cam and pal having a crow and raven daemon respectively that can very easily be mistaken for each other if you're not really looking, and how that helps them with their body switching shenanigans in nona. their daemons just casually perching on each other's shoulders in gtn 🥺"ALT
A drawing of Palamedes and Camilla sitting side by side. Palamedes is reading a book held in his right hand, while his left hand rests loosely against his thigh. He has brown skin, unruly reddish brown hair that's tufting up everywhere and shiny glasses cover his eyes. His clothes are not coloured in, but shaded in hints of off white. Camilla is busy cleaning a knife, a look of absorption on her face. She has brown skin, sharply cut chin length hair, and dark greyish brown eyes. Her clothes are not coloured in but shaded in hints of off white. On Palamedes' left shoulder is perched a black crow, Cam's daemon, turned to the left to where Pal's daemon - a black raven - is perched on Cam's right shoulder, looking up at Cam's daemon.ALT
On the left side is a drawing of Nona throwing down a bowl of seeds to Cam and Pal's daemons - a black crow and a black raven who can easily be confused for each other- who are looking down at the seeds and then up at her confusedly, as daemons probably don't eat, on account of being more metaphor than substance. Nona is drawn mostly in cartoonish outline, but has long black hair, brown skin, a t-shirt with a hamburger on it, short pants which reveal hairy legs, and a long coat. the words next to her read "Nona a little confused but she got the spirit". On the right side is a drawing of Paul. They've got brown skin, short brown hair reminiscent of Cam's but clipped near their ear, grey eyes and they're wearing a light grey high collar turtleneck and a grey long coat that both look a little green in the lighting. Perched on their head is Pal's black raven daemon smoking away into nonexistence, and perched on their left shoulder is Cam's black crow daemon smoking away into nonexistence, to make way for a daemon that's Paul's own.ALT

haven’t been able to stop thinking of a locked tomb + his dark materials crossover all week, so here’s some incredibly self-indulgent ramblings and sketches to exorcise the concept out of my head (gideon’s daemon is a pokemon - a growlithe - because of course gideon’s daemon would be a pokemon)

I had three reactions to this, in order:

  1. OP you have GOT to tell me about Nona, this is CRUCIAL
  2. Harrow keeps saying over and over all through the second book that she doesn’t have a daemon and everyone just ignores it because they think it’s lyctor trauma.
  3. Nobody actually knows how weird Gideon’s is. Nearly everyone on the Ninth has rats and bugs because there’s almost no other animal life, so everyone there assumes Gideon saw this orange thing in some piece of offworld media that she smuggled in and has it because she’s unruly and rebellious. Everyone from offworld assumes it’s some sort of weird dog breed from the Ninth because no one anywhere cares enough to find out otherwise. Mercymorn and Augustine care even less than anyone else in the entire universe. Which leaves only John, who, while he knows exactly how weird this is, primarily responds to it by trying to find opportunities to comment that Harrow wants to be the very best, like no one ever was.
