A summary of most of Gideon the Ninth

[necrocosmic]

so, i can't get this out of my head. this specific passage. in book 2, it's shown that harrow was on the verge of suicide when she discovers the soul of earth trapped in ice within the tomb in the ninth. it's established that the earth was her first beloved, like how it formerly housed humans, it housed young harrow's heart. now fast forward to this specific scene, they're on the planet earth, and harrow still doesn't know that this is where the soul in the tomb should go. harrow couldn't possibly have seen a flower on the ninth (pluto), given that only snow leeks could thrive and the atmosphere is so artificial that it cannot house the life that was present on earth. that means the first time she'd seen one was on earth (first house)—which happens to be her beloved—and she'd dedicated it to her cavalier whom she discovers she is undone without. it is not merely the highest possible honor that the ninth could bestow upon gideon, but also harrow communicating her cavalier's importance by saying that she's the best they've ever had. for harrow to fall in love with the earth and dedicate life from it to her cavalier, it surely means something more than just showing how grateful she is.

I know the points been made, but god damn, Gideon must have been terrifying for most of Canaan House. She is this muscle bound mute wearing half assembled skull face paint and dark robes, often skulking around the building with her creepy necromancer out of sight. The first time anyone sees her duel she doesn’t seem to register this as a sport and instead just bodies the other cavalier. She’s from a planet of weird monks and nuns who love bones and she is either so pious she took a vow of silence or care so little of everyone else that she simple has nothing to say. The moment things start to deteriorate amongst the various houses she and her necromancer are ready to tear shit up.

Then she opens her mouth and she is this dumbass jock who may only think about swords and boobs. 10/10 perfect character.

You're in her DMs

I'm in the saltwater pool with her while she tells me she's exactly two hundred sons and daughters of her House

We are not the same

[runasulienadanika]

ah yes, my favourite tlt characters:

200 dead children

literally Joan of Arc

First Flower of the Ninth House, the Best Cavalier They have Ever produced, Their Triumph, the Best of Them All,

guy with the worst surname ever

another objectively hilarious thing from gtn was that Harrow and Gideon were freaking out that someome will realise that Gideon isn't a real cavalier, that she has to use the rapier perfectly and not even think about her sword, that she has to be 100% obedient and loyal to Harrow and blah blah blah.

meanwhile Camilla also used the rapier only for show, Naberius and the twins were inches away from calling eachother stupid cunts and Protesilaus was literally a zombie

The Locked Tomb is a story about one girl's body being passed around by a bunch of souls like a blunt

[adodora]

sorry for hijacking your post op but I think you and I are on a similar wavelenght with this one

[your-fave-is-forklift-certified]

Gideon Nav from The Locked Tomb is Forklift Certified!

[nonasbirthday]

idk i'm seeing some conflicting opinions here

[nonasbirthday]

Hat for when you are definitely for sure 100% forklift certified. Just like Gideon Nav

Gideon wouldn't read yaoi because she has never really considered that men could be capable of complex feelings and sexual attraction.

Harrow wouldn't read yaoi because the notions of romance and sex are almost as disgusting to her as the concept of men. However, if she had to pick, she would read yaoi over yuri, because the most she would feel towards yaoi is disdain, while yuri would vaporize her on the spot.

Ianthe is of course a fujoshi.

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.
