If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.

Do we think that among the Lyctors, Ianthe was the only freak to straight up murder her cavalier?

[katakaluptastrophy]

Are we including John "I saw the face of Earth and choked the life out of it and ate it whole" Gaius in "Lyctors"...?

[aqueerintothevoid]

The thing is, I’m pretty sure Ianthe did not murder her cavalier. I think Corona murdered her cavalier. Ianthe just preformed the steps to lyctorhood following that incident. There are people here that can explain it way better than I, but I think even Ianthe isn’t enough of a freak to straight murder her cavalier. John remains the only true freak.

[flamingswordofdoom]

fully agree, except that i think ianthe could do it emotionally but wanted corona to for other reasons

i cant get at my copy atm, but if i remember correctly the evidence for it is:

the body was stabbed from behind

corona did not have blood on her

bab's blood was covering his chest

ianthe is covered/sprayed with blood (i word it this way bc there's always a chance it's from eating him, but this theory proports that it's from the killing)

ianthe has a history of "do it for me's"

corona wanted to be eaten

ianthe has noodles for arms, cant even hold them up to brush her hair

corona has been training with a sword

my view of it is:

corona killed babs at ianthe's behest. now whether ianthe said "kill him for me and i'lll eat you after" or something else happened the physical evidence of the scene suggests that he was stabbed not necromancy-d to death and ianthe has weak lil arms. she couldnt have done it and corona is right there without blood on her

*edit bc i forgot a piece, ianthe when confronted and corona is (about to speak? i think? need to check the book. either that or she is asked a question) ianthe IMMEDIATELY spills the beans on their lifelong secret. that's uhh..weird behavior for miss 'i learned lyctorhood all alone and i've kept this secret for years". this theory says that she may have done that to distract the other heirs from the scene and figuring out corona did it

[aqueerintothevoid]

I’m at work and don’t have access to the book so I might have to go back later and correct this. But! I honestly think that Ianthe didn’t want Corona to stab him. I think Ianthe was in “clean-up” mode, and trying desperately to appear in control of a situation that she had no control over. She does this a few times I think, in Harrow the Ninth. The example I’m remembering is, I think, when she lies to Harrow about seeing Cytherea’s corpse under the bed, I think she’s also trying to take control of a situation that she can’t figure out what to do with. Ianthe probably believes that the other heirs have already figured out that Corona isn’t a necromancer, or believes they should have figured it out. She also seems to know full well that none of them are the type to approve of the lyctoral process. I think she was forcing the focus onto herself to protect Corona, the way she’s been covering for Corona the whole rest of their lives.

I love every single fanart that gives Palamedes the Milo Thatch swag, hell yeah he's basically a stick with glasses and a jawline

For your consideration

[box-number-two]

i was explaining the 2137 meme to a friend and was about to say that pope jp2's death was like 9/11 in poland but then i remembered we also had another 9/11 in the form of smolensk. so we had two 9/11s. which feels like it explains a lot but i'm not sure what exactly.

One #jod can die at my hand makes us larger and one #john gaius makes us small, but the #gideon the first flower of my house.. mother gives us don’t do anything at all. Go ask @tumblrbot when they’re 10 feet tall.

Like if you’re a #i hate men fan, reblog if you’re a #griddlehark fan.

i've had the other houses for like three seconds but i do love that it very much appears to be seven normal, fine houses, first house, and the fucked up death cult thing that is ninth house

Aaaand I’m back with yet again another tragic Griddlhark moment

Is it homophobic to do this during pride month?

[weirdmedievalgirl]

Where’s hello, how are you, trigger warning, hornet announcing your homophobia???

[rivertalesien]

Clever of Tamsyn Muir to ensure all fan fiction in her Locked Tomb universe could be legitimized as canon with a simple

"Is this how it happens?"

[weirdmedievalgirl]

It can also be legitimised with

“this is not how it happens”

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

[ama-kitkat123]

>:)c

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

[penanatomy-studies]

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

[zheida]

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

🎵 500 Miles by Peter, Paul and Mary

aka song made specifically for harrow with gideon on backing vocals

indiv scenes:

ninth facepaint inspired by Māori tā moko! was thinking on the ninth, harrow is being painted by the sisters so it's more intricate, when she's at the first house it's detailed but less so. gideon just has a basic skull silhouette smudged on with her fingers.

can't for the life of me find my bone reference photos, i kinda just looked at bone structure and closed the tabs lmao. probably also had arcane corruption in my subconscious too like the corrupted hexcore??

call me pyrrah the way i lovingly did nona's hair 😌💖

[Light CW for referenced spousal abuse and misogyny as applied to media tropes]

I'm having trouble articulating my point around this, but:

Thinking about the "abused wife" archetypes you often see in older media (not to say these don't still crop up nowadays, but they were much more blatant and accepted in decades past). Particularly the following two flavors: 1) the irritating, stuck-up, "bitchy" wife whose suffering the audience is expected to find funny/cathartic, because she "deserves" it, and 2) the long-suffering "good" wife (not framed as "deserving it") who the audience is meant to view as a tragic but morally-upstanding (and therefore aspirational) figure of Christian womanhood

and

knowing Tasmyn Muir's propensity for pulling the old gendered-trope-switcharoo

thinking about how neatly Babs and Colum slot into those archetypes

-----------------------------------------

Notably Muir is not only inverting these tropes on a gendered axis but subverting them, too, on a narrative axis, given that Colum is clearly positioned not to be a figure of aspirational cavalierhood to an audience of literally anyone outside of his Eighth House cultural context, let alone the reader, and that she has Pal outright state that Babs didn't deserve what he got.

I do think that last point, though, despite Muir putting that exact sentiment in the mouth of a fan-favorite character, has managed to elude certain segments of the fandom, somehow.
