The most expensive dolls’ house in the world, the Astolat Dollhouse Castle, created by miniaturist Elaine Diehl between 1974 and 1987. It is 9 feet in height, has 29 rooms and about 30,000 miniatures pieces in its collection, but the displays are rotated and only about 10,000 are displayed at any one time. The house was inspired by Tennyson’s ‘Lancelot and Elaine’, which begins with the words ‘Elaine the fair, Elaine the loveable, Elaine, the lily maid of Astolat’. Its’ great price (officially valued at $8.5 million) is mostly due to the unique, hand-crafted objects, many made out of costly materials such as gold and lapis lazuli and commissioned from famous artists. Furnishings include original sculptures and oil paintings, portrait miniatures, hand-sewn tapestries, silverware, a working dumbwaiter, carved mouldings, chandeliers, mirrors, inlaid bathrooms, parquet floors, and hand etched wood panels. It also contains the smallest antique Bible in the world.

Can we talk about how fucking insane Nona the Ninth must've been from Gideon's perspective?

Like, she spent all of the previous book trapped in a walled off portion of Harrow's subconscious and thinking that Harrow hated her bc she refused to properly eat her soul. Then in the last like thirty minutes of the book harrow's soul goes on holiday and Gideon's now in her body fighting fucked up bug things and she still thinks Harrow hates her but also she's going to do her best to keep Harrow's body safe but definitely not because she cares about Harrow, just because she's her cavalier and that's what she's meant to do.

Then offscreen she got resurrected by god—kinda sorta we'll find out I guess, pyrrah seems to know what's up but is not sharing with the class—who she learned five minutes ago is her dad and was going around doing her tower prince thing with ianthe tridentarius who I'm sure she had a very normal and not at all weird relationship with. Idk maybe they bonded over wanting to fuck Harrow (not that Gideon would ever admit that of course).

Then while Gideon's being all corpse-y in her off time, who does she see but Harrowhark fucking Nonagesimus. Who immediately kisses her. Gideon then learns that said body that she definitely has only very platonic feelings about, antagonistic feelings even, is being piloted by an autistic six month old. Whose one really good skill is reading people and who kissed her because the second Nona walked into the room she read her like a fucking book and saw that Gideon really wanted to kiss Harrow('s body).

Gideon proceeds to be very normal about desperately needing to know where Harrow actually is. Not because she's in love with Harrow obviously, that would be crazy, she needs to know so that she can, uh, point and laugh at whatever predicament Harrow's in, yeah that's it. Only to learn that Nona doesn't fucking know.

Then, at the end of the book, Gideon learns that Nona is actually the corpse that Harrow's had a crush on since she was a kid. And also said corpse wakes up and kisses/bites Harrow right in front of her.

I wish I could incorporate "bestie he ate her" into my every day vocabulary. Fr, accusing tasmuir of not having thought through the implications is WILD. Like "What do you mean there are violations of consent in the Violations of Consent book?!?" Smack my gobs, good sir, it's almost like it's a THEME or something. There are definitely fascinating discussions to be had here, I suppose on that we can agree.
