"This life is mine!"
> be martin
> grow up taking care of your sick mother who doesn't even like you
> worry about literally everyone else All The Time
> manipulate your two managers so that you can protect everyone else especially your boss who is also your crush
> get thrown into the lonely but thankfully get saved by your now boyfriend
> just when everything seems fine and safe and you and your boyfriend have nearly recovered from everything, the world ends and you two are the only ones not being tortured. but you now have to
1. walk through the torture and See Everything (though not on the same level as your All Seeing Boyfriend).
2. travel by foot.
3. not eat, sleep, or drink water because it's probably infected by The Horrors
and 4. through each torture domain you sometimes have to. WAIT. and WALK by yourself seeing the horrors because your boyfriend has to consume the horrors in order to move on
> and as time goes on you actually have no idea what will happen!! in the end !! you're in a relationship with the love of your life but youve also not slept or eaten and you have been walking for an unknown amount of time and you see so much Shit All The Time. and you have no idea how to navigate that.
> and THEN you have to kill the love of your life who you just spent who knows how long walking alongside seeing all the fucking horrors and not being able to do anything about it
>and then somebody on tumblr in another universe thinks you were too snappy and impatient
Wink, Wink with her phatty
Griddlehark’s biggest most consistent issue is their insistence that they are able to perfectly understand each other’s actions and motivations while being absolutely completely wrong
And I think this is most outwardly displayed if Harrow’s letter to Gideon in HtN: the simple One Flesh, One End
To Gideon this is the ultimate cop out, a direct rejection and disregard for her sacrifice and the refusal to acknowledge it when Harrow had the chance
But to Harrow this is the ultimate act of sacrifice, it’s an outward expression of love and devotion to the cav/necro oath. She did two things with the lobotomy: 1. Memorialize what she could of Gideon’s soul; 2. Fulfill the “one end” portion of the oath
The saw the way that Gideon willingly killed herself as sacrifice and decided that if their lyctorhood had to be the death of one of them, it will be the death of them both
Gideon saw Harrow removing her memories as her running away from and hating the memory of Gideon but in her eyes she was making herself into a memory as well in order to preserve Gideon. Harrow’s still technically alive in HtN, but it’s not the same Harrow from GtN; all her letters are signed “writing as the same, now dead”
They’re both fulfilling the separate parts of the oath neither of them officially made but both lived by
Gideon; one flesh: Gideon died so they would share a body within lyctorhood
Harrow; one end: Harrow decided that if ascension had to mean the death of one of them, it must mean the end of them both
and neither one of them knew this was the other’s intention because they refuse to fucking TALK
