she just writes whatever. *kicks stone on my way out muttering* stupid fucking perfect parallels

so harrowhark nonagesimus is often portrayed as raised as some form of generic-leaning-catholic christian in real world adaptations, which is fair. however, although it matches aesthetically with the prayer beads and the kneeling, i think that this interpretation undersells the fact that the ninth house practices a substantially different religion from the rest of the houses in many ways. in the other houses there are more religious and less religious people, but they all have the same major prayer and such, which the ninth does not share. the ninth house religion:

- considers themselves part of the same religion as the rest of the houses, but are often not given the same courtesy, and are generally considered weirdly culty, or at the most charitable, a fascinating anomaly

- worships jod as the foremost creator, but also shows great reverence to a secondary saint/prophet, who is not recognized by the more mainstream of the houses

- fixates on an upcoming apocalypse that their house will be the witness to and bear the burden of

- is far more demanding than many of the other houses, placing more importance on the ritual aspect of worship, much of which is secret from outsiders

- has specific religious outfitting (face paint etc) that must be worn by all adherents, at all times

weighing the evidence thus, it is with a heavy heart that i have concluded that harrowhark nonagesimus is a mormon.

Rahul Kohli made the mistake of saying reylo doesn't make him horny and then he apologized saying it DOES make him horny and now this is happening in the comments under his apology

and you're telling me the popular ship in the fandom is gideon/harrow and not gideon/dulcinea. that's what i'm given to understand. no one else is melting at gideon saying very genuinely "i don't want you to die". no one else is really really smitten with dulcinea and practically swoons when she talks

oh this bodes well

tlt tumblr: here’s a 52-page treatise on how john’s vision of his empire references the first and second crusades, cross-analyzed with the modern trend of liberal apathy and a layered examination of the complexities of a man from a colonized people becoming a colonizer. almost didn’t post it here because it feels too obvious haha

tlt reddit: can someone remind me who ‘cam’ is?

tlt twitter: guyssss i don’t know if i can finish these books 😭😭 i wanted nice lesbians in space but this relationship is lowkey toxic???

Baru Cormorant: I am outsmarting everyone. I am not a pawn in someone else’s schemes. They think I’m on their side, but I am true to my purpose of destroying the Empire of Masks from within.

The narrative: The seagull who someone had trained to dance for food was still following her around. Who had trained it to dance for food?? Whatever. Baru threw it some food and watched it dance.

one thing about baru is that in every book she will get one or two or five more permanent disabling injuries and she'll just be like. oh yeah the half of my brain i can't access from my devastating concussion. my missing two fingers (two of the important ones). etc. like girl you are falling to PIECES. and she seems very good at shrugging off pain or injury or working around it. but that's actually just the alcoholism and coke habit

remember when aminata and baru fought over the tribadism accusation in the first book and in their next real interaction right before baru stepped ashore on treatymont she asked aminata for a sword and aminata immediately took out her own sword and offered it to baru. women be gay
