November winner for the monthly art on Patreon!

Gideon's only winning tactic is taking Cam completely by surprise! Also I tried out curly haired Gideon. Doesn't quite match to how I imagined it, but oh well.

I still can't draw rapiers but I'm REALLY happy with how the movement in the first image came out!

The dichotomy at the end of HtN between Harrow entering her river bubble and crying/mourning profusely when she remembers Gideon and what she's done versus Gideon in Harrow's body on the Mithraeum running around in her old sunglasses, getting her thumbs bitten off, making jerk off gestures at Ianthe, pausing to admire a naked chick painting and then discovering that she is Jesus H Christ all in the span of like twenty minutes

One of the things that makes Gideon Nav a relatable protagonist is that she has at least a small crush on every woman she talks to

the benoit blanc movies show really beautifully how to write a queer character whose story is not centered around their queerness. it's shown that benoit blanc is gay married (to hugh grant!) it's shown that he participates in queer mediums like musical theater and fashion, but none of those things are ever explicitly remarked on. he doesn't have a big coming out scene because he doesn't need one; and the subtle details about him not speaking to his mother, the way he associates a church with homophobia, allows us to draw conclusions about how his family felt about his queerness without making that the sole conflict in his story. the conflict in benoit blanc's story is not that he exists in the world as a gay person, it's that he's always trying to wrangle a bunch of 30 somethings into not confessing to crimes they didn't commit

I just finished all three Locked Tomb novels, and here's a list of my favorite bits of writing from it (Spoilers! So many Spoilers!):

I've never seen an unreliable narrator not only done so well but also done several times in succession in extremely different ways

That moment you realize why half of the second book is written in second person and the fact that that happens when Gideon calls Harrow a bitch

The bit about how cows have friends, and how it's an accusation at first and then gets turned into a threat

Wondering why people in the far future speak in memes until you meet their god and learn that he basically rebuilt society from scratch

The way so many of the main characters aren't concerned with the main plot at all, so they avoid Important Events until they smack them over the head, but you can see the shadows of those events in the whole story

That whole epilogue from Alecto's pov that's in extremely stilted language apart from when someone speaks who has no respect for that style choice

I was telling a friend about TLT and as soon as I said anything about Gideon’s plot relevant yellow/gold eyes she said. “Oh she’s part alien”…..

Which yeah, is probably a fairly logical jump if you are looking at this book through a few plot beats and a sci fi lens… but that made the realize that Gideons story really does hit the regular mythological plot beats for a demigod.

Abandoned at the doorstep of a temple, a prodigious fighter, golden and full of life, surviving innumerable trials and tasks that should have killed her. Doing the ultimate task of sacrifice and heroism in her culture only to be then acknowledged by her godly parent and risen to new heights.

Heck what is Jod giving her impenetrable skin but Thetis dipping Achilles in the River Styx.

With how my feelings got me acting recently Harrow choosing a lobotomy makes more and more sense
