Actually nothing is more appealing to me than fat "ugly" butch lesbians. Nothing brightens my day like seeing another fat butch in public, especially when our eyes meet and we give a nod of mutual recognition. Society deems her ugly but to me she stands confident and proud as the pinnacle of beautiful women - and seeing and acknowledging this about her has helped me accept it within myself. Fat butches never cease to amaze me, and there's no one's company I'd rather be in than hers.

GIDEON THINKS THAT HARROW ONLY LOVES THE BODY AND IS INCAPABLE OF LOVING HER AS WELL. BUT HARROW DID NOT FALL APART AT THE ABSENCE OF THE BODY. SHE STRAYED FAR FROM IT, SHE DID NOT FALTER WHEN THE GHOST DISAPPEARED. BUT SHE HAD TO BRING GIDEON TO CANAAN HOUSE WITH HER. SHE DESTROYED HERSELF COMPLETELY WHEN GIDEON WAS GONE. SHE WILLINGLY CARRIED GIDEONS WEIGHT ON HER BACK CONSTANTLY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY. GIDEON STOP BEING AN IDIOT AND JUST SEE WHATS IN FRONT OF YOU I AM GOING TO GO INSANE

People died. Innocent people died Granda. And they were someone’s mother, father, daughter, son. Nothing can ever make that ok. And the people who took those lives, they’re just gonna walk free.

tamsyn muir: expanding on her incredibly complex, interesting, and well-thought out world mythology

me: but when will the dead lesbians kiss?

[lockedtombmemes]

Listen here.

The dead lesbians are the story. Yes the world is fascinating and fleshy and so well built, thickly twined with lore and positively brimming with detail. It's great.

But this story is about these fucked up little bone lesbians and how deeply in love they are, how apocalyptic and hollow their existences are without each other.

So yeah when are they gonna kiss

[tooies]

i think "take a hike" is like the funniest response to someone. like dude just get outta here. and go experience the wonder of nature for a bit

It would be kind of hilarious if Harrow used her favor from Alecto immediately to resurrect Gideon and they just fuck off for the rest of the book. Like, god? A war? Resurrection beasts? That’s not my problem I got my dead girlfriend back and I can finally kiss her so we’re gonna go do that for the next 300 pages and everyone else can figure out what to do next because we’ve been through Enough

The fucking layers of Barbie Alecto

A man forcing his own ideas of beauty onto a woman.

The woman being the soul of the Earth itself and the ideals being based on a literal plastic doll. Plastic. The thing that notably slowly kills the Earth.

The profound repulsion she feels with the supposedly beautiful body thrust upon her by a man.

Barbies being considered the ideal of beauty either way and Alecto being unhappy with the looks.

John's mortal enemy being capitalism and him still basing Alecto's body on one of the most sold toys ever. His own inherent lack of immunity to capitalism. Something something full circle.

Speaking fo which, the body of the soul of Earth being based on a doll. A toy. A literal plaything.

There is SO MUCH to Barbie Alecto I am chewing glass.

I'm sure someone else could make this into a proper coherent analysis but this is as coherent as I'm able to get when talking about The Locked Tomb thank you for understanding

Ortus: I believe that we are trapped in a labyrinth of, consciously or unconsciously, Lady Harrowhark's making. Although she is a mere seventeen years of age, she has endured enough pain and accrued enough power to fell a Lyctor. Do not underestimate the machinations of her dark, twisted mind.

The machinations of Harrow's dark, twisted mind: What if I was Gideon's cavalier 🤔🤔🤔🗡🗡🗡What if she was a charming princess and I was an impoverished little nun 🤴🤴🤴💓💓💓 What if she worked at a coffee shop ☕☕☕🤗🤗🤗

[helluvamystery]

The thing I love about Gideon is that she's a big crass jokester, but SUCH a romantic. Nona walked in and Gideon was carefully posed in her best clothes and for Peak Look At Me Harrow Drama, and Nona took one supernaturally-knowing glance at her and went "that's the face of someone who desperately wants to be kissed"

[tinytrainworld]

so funny to me how augustine and mercymorn were like “don’t worry guys. we have a plan to distract god. just wait for the signal, you’ll know it when you see it.” and the signal was to just start having a threesome with god on the dinner table right in front of harrow and ianthe

#i think you guys are making this book series up. i do not think it is real #i see shit and its just like. yeah yeah harrowhawks DIY lobotomy #like we've all been there#oh yeah the extinction event #what are you people. talking about  (tags by were-thing)

She wished the barrier had taken her hands. She wished she had thrust herself into it—become that big seething mass of flesh and meat and tendrils—ruined her body, just melted it; come back messed up, so that nobody could want her body but her, so that it would be hers and nobody else’s.

This was a horrible thing to think. Nona hated herself immediately and fervently.

god!

caught by how, 1. this is a response to an entropy field, which we last saw in gtn in a key moment where gideon was coerced by cytherea into allowing harrow to use her as a battery, 2. that such a submission was eroticised; specifically that harrow was functioning more as a vector for an eroticism between gideon and cytherea, or more precisely that cytherea was a repository for a displaced eroticism between gideon and harrow; that the ideas around the coercive erotics of consumption / consumption as a violence one of whose forms manifests through eroticism and sexuality that get off the ground in gideon are coming together and consolidating in nona; 3. that the language here is clearly codifying a sexual violation, as is everything we receive of john and alecto inasmuch as the books seek to overlap these discourses of sexual violation and consumption and instrumentalisation and effacement.

[gothicenjoyer]

going off topic but i think it's fair to say we can understand gideon/harrow/alecto as three different yet significantly overlapping consolidated sites of Discourse around grooming and daughterhood and all that; as characters who are all at some point figured as john's daughter, who are all at some point denied bodily autonomy to a severe degree, and who are all reconstituted in john's image as befits the service of empire (alecto as an idealised whiteness, gideon/kiriona as a weapon of empire, harrow i'm less clear on but i think she's taking up the christofascist dimension). anyway - if what muir wants us to read into her character paralleling is that what happens to alecto and what happens to gideon are two prongs of the same fork that converge at the site of empire then that's incredibly effective on its own, but i'm caught by how cytherea starts exerting a very subtle presence here - where the thing being drawn to the surface in this scene isn't gideon/kiriona's function as a weapon but her having been groomed and coerced and seduced by cytherea. it's not 'alecto and gideon/kiriona are the same because their ostensibly different processes of grooming discursively converge,' but the far more straightforward fact of both of them having been groomed in the first place. that we can't get a full picture of how kiriona came to be kiriona without remembering what cytherea did to her & understanding that sexual coercion as setting off the chain of events that made her later coercion into a living weapon possible in the first place, and that kiriona herself can't name that violence (in harrow, she accidentally called cytherea 'dulcinea' - she's not even close to processing that relationship for what it was and i doubt she ever will be) so the far more immediate point of commonality between gideon and alecto gets gestured towards here instead. god.

[gothicenjoyer]

i realise i'm just going a little wild now but i'm trying to land a thought around, like ... john and alecto, cytherea and gideon. john and cytherea as disempowered in crucial ways but also as holding access to significant capital within empire, and seeking power as disempowered people at the sites where they are able to get it; alecto, gideon. the logic of cavalierhood (which is the logic of gender under empire) being the means by which cytherea's seduction of gideon becomes possible. john as an indigenous man aspiring to whiteness through empire & through alecto, and cytherea as a white woman inculcating an indigenous girl into empire. john and cytherea as people who at some point in their motives probably, genuinely, wanted to do the right thing, or imagined themselves to be doing something altruistic, but reconstituted the very violences that they were trying to disarm. sorry to eternally be the "here's how cytherea can still be important to the narrative" guy but i'm unable to lose sight of how immediate and heavyhanded those alecto/gideon parallels are.

anyway! alecto and gideon/kiriona, am i right!
