AMERICA: (Ain't... gettin' a show... outta me...? What? Why do I sound like that...?)
AMERICA: ...
It seems he's refusing to speak any more. If you wish to earn a YEEHAW from an American, you must first gain their trust.
whole lotta grown women dragging twilight but the minute someone pushes back it’s harassment? Be serious no one hates twilight more than its own fans y’all proving it y'all exhausting
Did you abandon your fic? Has anyone been asking you for updates?
I’m finally catching up on my next chapter. A ton of my asks are asking about it (valid, sorry guys!!!!) so this seems like a good place to issue a blanket update. I’ve been super busy, but it’s pretty spicy. I’m trying to get it done sometime next week. I use beta readers now which is great bc I get to give a shoutout to two talented moots (not that they need or want it)
can we hear about your gideon eyes tinfoil hat theory 🥺 i love to think unhinged thoughts
THANK YOU FOR ASKING also i had an entire essay typed up for you and tumblr lost the draft. apologies because this re-do is Definitely Worse
my unhinged theory is this: Gideon has, and has always had, a fragment of Alecto's soul inside her, that lay somewhat dormant until it was "activated" by Harrow consuming her soul (and thereby also consuming the Alecto fragment).
bear with me: we know Harrow began to be haunted when a fragment of Alecto escaped into Harrow when she kissed her in the tomb at age 10. Harrow's individual fragment wasn't enough for the Body-vision to have sentience OR for her to, as a child, be sending out "I'm here!" signals that were trackable by the other RBs, so they were basically just hanging out.
HOWEVER. when Harrow ate Gideon's soul, two things happenened: 1) Alecto/The Body started speaking to her, protecting her, gained enough coherence to eventually becoming Nona, etc and 2) Harrow became a becon for the RBs, specifically Number 7, who immediately turned towards her to make a beeline to the Mithraeum.
This makes me think that Lyctorhood "activated" the Alecto-fragment in a certain way, and it makes sense to ME that the trigger would be that fragment getting bigger, via Harrow taking up Gideon's soul (including whatever fragments Gideon herself was carrying)
"evidence" (wild speculating) for Gideon having Alecto's soul under the cut!
1. the gold eyes
in these books, eye color is explicitly linked to what soul is in what body. this is a heavily important plot mechanic throughout every single book - it feels "off" for Gideon's eye color to be the ONLY time in the entire series where eye color means "genetics" and not "soul".
Gideon does not have a normal human eye color. the color is described as like an egg yolk & gold coins, and no human eye color reaches even close. This is further evidenced by how when Augustine and Mercymorn saw Gideon in Harrow's eyes, they thought Alecto had woken up. pre-NtN, this made more sense as The Body was assumed by the fandom to look somewhat like Harrow. post-NtN, we know that Harrow and Alecto looked *absolutley* nothing alike, and therfore these eyes are not fucking normal, they're weird enough that if you see them you automatically assume "8 ft tall Barbie Doll Alecto Woke Up" even when the body you are presented with is 5 foot nothing with black hair.
"Lipochrome... recessive" does not make sense even for the most basic understanding of genetics, which I am assuming is what is happening here - eye color genetics can get really complicated but colloquial understanding is that recessive genes present themselves when BOTH parents are carriers. John had gold eyes because Alecto chose him, but.... how would Wake be a carrier for what is basically Alecto's stigmata? it makes NO sense for Wake to be a carrier of the Alecto-specific, egg yolk kind of eyes
2. the emission
John and Alecto's souls are inherently linked. rather than being two seperate souls, they are more like two parts of continuous whole -- John hid himself in Alecto, and he hid Alecto in him. it's not even two puzzle pieces they are just layered over and continuous with each other
John, then, would very reasonable "pass on" a part of Alecto when he, ah. well. you know. blew a big load.
maybe the Holy Emission carried soul fragments, is what I'm saying
3. the two hander
Occam's razor posits that Gideon likes the two hander and is good at it because she is cool and buff and it was the option presented to her. BUT!!!
Nona instinctivly knows how to hold a two handed sword. Alecto has a greatsword with her in the tomb. Gideon uses a two hander. idk makes u think!!
legit so nice to see you pop on dash, it's a great vibe
I like compliments as much as the next guy but honestly , I'm just a dork with a bunch of hyperfixations , if you love what i put out then I appreciate you , genuinely these messages have really helped me feel better about a lot of things , so whoever this is thank you.
idk why but im thinking about jirai kei yanzai with his cute blouses, frilly skirts, and being the craziest bitch in town, very clingy to you, will get possessive when you stare at other people besides him and is always craving your attention <3
Oh god cuteeee yes he'd look so good all dressed up <333 to make you notice him or fish for compliments at first maybe, or to match your style if you're the type to dress alternatively! And if you don't he could dress you up himself to make you even more beautiful than you already look to him <33 if you dress the same and hold hands on the street there'll be no doubt that you're a couple
I love your graphics. your icon design is so beautiful!!!
Thank you, anonymous! I claim no credit for the beautiful graphics, though. My blog graphics/carrd graphics are a mix of commissioned work from @pornidle (the above icon designer!), @theophcgy, and @arachnaemboss. If ever you're in need of something, these folks are wicked talented and I appreciate them so much for helping my vision for this blog come to life. It's still very much a work in progress as I rearrange everything, but even so -- these awesome creators deserve support and love!
