someone has probably posted about this already, but some of the parallels between chapter 28 of Nona the Ninth and 36 of Gideon the Ninth!

and bonus from chap. 37 of gtn:

love how the series is called ‘the locked tomb’ when we find out in book one that the tomb has literally been unlocked for like 10 whole years before book one’s timeline even starts

[thunderon]

thanks for everyone who gave accurate renaming suggestions. we wouldn’t want to misrepresent our books to outsiders here

[Image Transcript: My definition of butch involves chivalry. I want to be courageous, gallant, to show the highest respect for a woman. I think of an idealized knighthood, where such characteristics are valued and groomed. I would protect my lover from an enemy, risk physical harm.

I was nine years old the first time I held another girl. It was nighttime around the campfire, and the counsellors were telling gruesome stories to freak out the kids. The girl beside me – with hazel eyes and long braided hair – asked if I would hold her because she was scared. I had never imagined such a request. My instinct kicked in immediately. I wrapped my arms around her. I ceased being frightened myself because I could only think about how proud I felt to protect her. It didn’t matter if I was cold, or if the rock that I was sitting on was hard and uncomfortable. Everything, for an instant and for the first time in my life, felt right. I was a little knight beside the campfire.]

sooooo a gf for aloy when?

okay but I NEED to know what Cytherea was doing before the scene where Gideon and Camilla find her “unconscious” (bc we all know she was prob faking it) in the terrace after Protesilaus disappeared. Like, did she spend ~several hours~ lying on the ground, or was she just spying in case she saw someone coming and then threw herself to the ground? the second one seems more logical but it’s SO funny to think that she laid there under the rain for god knows how long just waiting for someone to find her..... the drama..... the commitment..... she really was a great actress huh

“Let me guess,” she shouted over the downpour, pointing at several waterproof baskets and sacks of grain. “You didn’t pack any food, did you?”

The Sixth

[lexalovesbooks]

Okay maybe I just haven’t been scrolling through the gtn tag aggressively enough but I feel like I haven’t seen enough people talking about the fact that Harrow tried to call finders keepers rights with an actual literal human skull

‘“I’m not running, Harrow!” “Of course we’re not running,” said Harrowhark disdainfully. “I said a necromancer alone. I have you. We bring hell.” [...] Her adept said: “I’ll keep it off you. Nav, show them what the Ninth House does.” Gideon lifted her sword. The construct worked itself free of its last confines of masonry and rotten wood and heaved before them, flexing itself like a butterfly. “We do bones, motherfucker,” she said.’

I made these custom bookmarks for myself, but thought to share them here! They’re not perfect, but I wanted to make something for Gideon and Harrow, so here you have!

Click for better resolution (or at least that’s what I hope), and feel free to use them for yourself if you want!!

edit: changed the background in these and now it should be white and black which honestly looks way better? but I think that tumblr it’s still displaying the first version so if someone wants them in hd just send me a message!!

[video description: a minute and a half sketchy animatic of a scene from Harrow The Ninth  book where Mercymorn hates everyone because they mockingly interpret her scribble of the Beast in not-beastly shapes. ]  I got procreate and I thought: what if I draw mercymorn like fifty times. and then i did.
