Lesbian disaster

chaotic and tired mess but in a queer way • 27 • she/her • une énième gouine tatouée gauchiste • eternal simp for Korrasami, Catradora, Violyn, Griddlehark, Kassandra, Ellie Williams and amberpricefield,...these fictional ladies are very important to me • regularly disappearing of the internet with no warning (just lurking in the shadows like a small anxious bat) and then reappearing months later like nothing happened • TERFs AND FASCISTs DO NOT INTERACT • (header from very talented marceline2174)

"tlt is so hard to read bc it hates you" tlt loves you which is why it so strongly believes in your intellectual capabilities

Did I just, literally on a whim, got a tattoo of Sappho's name, while I was in Athens after traveling through Greece?

Yes, I absolutely did

Tbf i think Guerrilla has been wanting to do that with aloy for some time now, Talanah was def going to be a initial choice for romance, Aloy MOST DEF had something with Ikrie in Frozen wilds, very alike what we got with burning shores tbh, and thats not to mention the flirty scenes with characters like Vanasha and Petra, Seyka was the culmination of all that, cant wait to see the many choices of love interest Aloy will for sure have in the next game lmao, bring all the ladies

meeting Kiriona is just like: that's our girl but she's wrong but it IS her but also what the FUCK. what happened to her, what happened to her before the series even started, what new horrors has she endured?

meeting Kiriona is understanding that these sharp edges ARE our Gideon; she was always made of knives but before NtN we were holding her by the hilt and this is the first time we get the blade. all her rage and pain and trauma, amplified 10,000 times by the way her losses - loss of harrow, loss of the parents that existed only as a fantasy, loss of the idea that revenge could ever sate her, loss of any autonomy, loss of her own damn life - keep accumulating with no respite. no end in sight. it is uncomfortable and distressing and upsetting and that is the point. anyway. wrapping her in a blanket as we speak!!!

first vs last appearances

The Owl House team really said "what if these girls all got a little bit more butch when they're older?" and honestly, I respect that

sorry i haven't read your fic yet it's been in my open tabs for 8 months

im basically normal if you really dont think about it

[dream-to-be-frog]

i wonder how long harrow screamed. i wonder how long it took for her to process what had happened—for her brain to catch up to her eyes, to register what gideon did. “you can stop screaming any minute now, just an fyi.” she was screaming as she got up. did she scream while she ate her and rebuilt her? how many times do you think harrow screamed her name? how much do you think was wordless agony? do you think her mouth got used to screaming her name? used to it enough that that was the last thing she said? do you think this was the practice?

[ghostsandyoumightdie]

It's cool that Gideon's entire life was bookended by someone screaming her name.

i am neither breaking the cycle nor continuing the loop but a secret third thing

“the locked tomb trilogy has four books” is actually very much in line with the vibe of the series, of course the locked tomb trilogy has four books

And while we are on the subject of bad GtN takes, a recent one I ran across was someone in confusion as to why the lesbian element was so emphasized in the branding, because 'it's not relevant to the plot at all.' 1) Fantastic way to say you didn't understand what was happening in the pool scene, or with the conflict over 'Dulcinea', or Harrow vs Gideon's perceptions of the Tridentarii twins, etc, etc and 2) Fantastic way to say you are straight and used to having virtually every protagonist represent your experience.

#straight people don't understand gay people are gay even when they aren't actively engaging in sexual and romantic behavior #gideon is so incredibly deeply outwardly lesbian #specifically butch. her butchness is present on every single page #also queer authors HAVE to overly advertise queer characters because straight people are DENSE when it comes to queer attraction

@frontlinebicepsoftheninth exactly. thank you for saying this much better than i did

[carys-the-ninth]

#also acting as if harrows love of alecto #literally the thing that sets the plot in motion for the protagonists #isn't deeply deeply lesbian #not just in the literal sense of harrow being a dyke but like #'i saw something i wasn't supposed to and now i have this yearning for a thing my entire world is constructed around containing' #'and my transgression in wanting it is so severe that my parents killed themselves in shame' #what a lesbian experience #what a dimension you're completely missing out on if you don't understand harrow as allegorically and literally gay
