THE CASUALNESS OF THAT COLLIE SLIPPING RIGHT OUT OF THEIR COLLAR. That dude is a Willing Participant of this walk and by god everyone else is going to follow the RULES.

Husky: Uh no, I'm a husky, I don't have to follow any of your rules.

Collie: I'm sorry, did you think this was a tug of war? *body slam*

the pool scene

"I hated Harrow so much at the beginning" could NOT be me. She has flair, she has panache. She stays up all night scrabbling in the dirt burying bone fragments just for the drama of the reveal. She stabs herself in the cheek so she can sign in blood. She is a control freak who puppets her dead parents around and bullies Gideon into a vow of silence. She is a singleminded swot who maps out all the doors in a massive decaying mansion the very first night. She makes herself a bone cocoon before passing out. She leaves bread in a drawer. You don't see a grimy little freak and want to put them in a blender??

[carys-the-ninth]

Yes & I am personally endorsing all of those actions because I enjoy a fictional character. That's how literature works. Gold star for media literacy

#are these people ok#what do you want to read??? characters standing around reading therapy manuals?????#a traumatized girl fails to be morally upstanding at all times. boohoohoo.#two fucked up women trying to kill each other is actually the height of all art btw.

Naberius’s treatment in Gideon the Ninth is so cathartic, actually. He truly represents that universal lesbian experience of seeing a man that you know must technically be attractive because the girlies keep obsessing over him, but when you look at him you just think “ew yuck die” and form an intense, burning, instinctual hatred for him. Like, every time Gideon sees him she’s all “barf he smells like hair gel” or “ew he smirked like a douchebag.” Every time he’s in the room, he does this stupid routine that you’d expect of the Draco-in-leather-pants love interest in a shitty YA fantasy, except instead of fawning over it all the lesbians in the room just immediately go “shut tf up, Babs, I hope you die.” Truly the man-hating lesbian representation we need in the world

miss these two clowns

[beguilingcorpse]

the best thing about ianthe tridentarius is that she is 100% convinced that she's the protagonist, the villain, AND the love interest in a story that she doesn't know is decidedly not about her
