I am rereading Gideon the Ninth and one of the funniest scenes in the whole book gotta be the scene where Gideon (has never had a hot beverage in her life) knocks back half a cup of boiling tea. And then just stands there suffering in silence. Imagine being Jeannemary Chatur or someone and seeing the super cool and mysterious Shadow Cultist from the Ninth House just absolutely SHOTTING a cup of piping hot tea. and then trying to play it cool. I would lose it.

straight people: i love you.

gay people: strike me down. you’ve won. i’ve lived my whole wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and God knows i deserve to die at your hand. you are my only friend. i am undone without you.

oh gideon nav is the lesbian of ALL TIME. she’ll explain how hot every woman she meets is and how their eyes seem to pin her down and how a blush runs up to her cheeks whenever they look at her and she can’t say no to them

and then at the end of the paragraph she’ll be like “oh and some sort of man was also present. he was a little bitch.”

She’s so 🥰✨😍😍💫✨💫💕✨

Cue 800 disaster alarms activating in harrow's brain

nona the ninth is a fucking roller coaster from start to finish. it's the third book in a series and it starts with three returning characters who were barely in book 2 and everyone else is new. It follows a gravity falls arc in tone, ie it starts as a slightly weird slice of life story and by the end they're fighting ancient eldritch abominations from actual hell, and not a moment in that transition feels out of place or jarring. our first impression of the main character is the list of people she wants at her birthday party and the first five names on the list are dogs. our last impression of her is some of the most heartbreaking dialogue ever written.

I’ll Laugh As You Bury Me: New Zealand, America and Cultural Hegemony

All science fiction has its basis in the real world. This is the real world I base mine in. It has jokes and cups of tea and big smiles. Som

Alexandra Stronach on New Zealand’s misread colonial repression, and recognizing too much of Gideon in The Locked Tomb, in the landscape of NZ media.

I was reading Gideon the Ninth right before my egg cracked. The reviews said Griddle was so funny. I read it and all I saw was a traumatised woman having a particularly Kiwi response to pain: she can’t just say it hurts, so she turns everything into a joke. It’s her only outlet, the only socially-acceptable way to seize back any power. I don’t see a funny girl, I see a girl who is doing everything not to scream. Imagine being a woman in this society; imagine being a queer woman in this society; imagine being a trans woman. To be a good Kiwi is to be tough, resolute, to never cry out, to not be a fucking girl. Imagine being asked to be petite and gentle and feminine but not too gentle and feminine because that’s weakness, and we abhor weakness. Women everywhere must ride a razor of incompatible expectations, but the particularly Kiwi manifestation of that evil is that women must be women without ever being fucking girls. No softness, no weakness, no vulnerability, no crying. That’s the bear trap Gideon Nav has found herself in. Hell, she’s not even allowed to speak, so she’s laughing while waiting for the jaws to snap her leg off, because what else can she do? The Ninth House is built on buried women.

Me on my way to yell and ugly cry at my twin sister for not eating me alive to achieve lyctorhood or whatever 😒 very fucked up of her for real

I think Coronabeth has become my most cosplayed character lmao (Yang Xiao Long is p much retired, but we did get volume 10 greenlit so idk?) it’s always a blonde

Also I tried doing a bleached brow look for her this time to better match the wig, what do we think chat?

the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.

it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.

you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

"Gideon's appeals to better natures, financial rewards, moral obligations, outlined plans, and simple attempts to run away numbered eighty-six by the time she was 18. She'd started when she was four."
