One thing I find interesting in the Nine Houses is the weaponry. All of it real, Renaissance-era stuff. But you only see one polearm, G1deon's spear, which he uses as an offhand(at least when in the Mithraeum, he probably only uses his rapier as a sidearm when doing solo missions). Harrow knows what it is, so it isn't a foreign concept, but the weapon of a soldier in the Cohort appears to be a zweihander, a large, two-handed sword, referred to as a longsword in the Houses, which was a weapon meant for frontline soldiers to deal with enemy pikemen, not for formation fighting. Cavaliers use rapiers with an offhand of choice, yet rapiers never saw battlefield use IRL, and if defending the necro is the purpose, wouldn't you want a shield, especially with many enemies the Houses face using firearms? Also, the Houses don't have any firearms, even the ones that were used at a similar time to other weapons they used, but are fully aware of their existence. They also have small shields like bucklers and targes, so it probably isn't a case of not knowing what shields are.

Hi! I'm looking into making a bit of profit from my art (commissions, maybe prints or design some stickers)
However I'm not sure if people would be interested, so based on these pieces would anyone actually buy something from me?

I'm pretty sure it has already been discussed, but the whole rapier thing in tlt that bothers me very much.
See, a rapier has an average weight of about 1kg (2.2 lb). I've had the occasion to play around with a VERY light one (about 700g I think) for about two hours last week and boy you do feel it after a while. The guy I was sparring with had a 1.5kg exemplary, which is not all that uncommon from what I've seen (it really depends on your size actually, you want your rapier to be proportional and I'm bite sized) (also it means that Gideon-sized rapier would be ridiculous in Harrow hands).
Anyway, a longsword has a weight ranging from 1 to 2kg, most exemplary being around 1.5kg. Now, there's a very important distinction between a rapier and a longsword : the longsword is used with both hands. I cannot understate what a difference it makes.
So it makes absolutely no sense to give a rapier to someone with 0 muscle, they will get less tired using a goddamn longsword.
(I think what happened is that Tamsyn Muir mixed rapier with foil (a very light sword for sport fencing weighing under 500g, 18oz, so basically a very long needle) and longsword with zweihander (the LONGEST sword, ranging from 2 to 4 kg, 4.4 to 8.8lb), but still, it's confusing)

So in TLT there is tons of Jesus imagery and parallels associated with Gideon, but thematically Nona is Jesus. Sort of.
Jesus was God made human, temporarily cut off from his Godhood to truly experience humanity. Through dying as a human and returning to Godhood he created a link between the two states that humans could then follow. This link is not something that could have been made by either God or by humans, only God-as-human.
In TLT Alecto is the Earth made human shaped, but Nona was Alecto made truly human, cut off from Alecto's full nature. Alecto integrating Nona creates a path between the human and something that would otherwise be too vast to be able to understand humanity.
Nona is also Harrow without trauma, Harrow loved. Integrating Nona for her is one potential path to healing. Through the shared experience of Nona, Harrow and Alecto are connected. Does this mean this connection is a path to resurrection for the rest of humanity? Are Harrow, Nona and Alecto the TLT trinity? Tbh I'm sure it's going to be far more weird than that.

There's this type of Goats song that you hear 10 times and find completely unremarkable but on the 11th listen suddenly it clicks and it's your favorite on the album: Andrew Eldritch, Harlem Roulette, Animal Mask, and this one, Beautiful Gas Mask from All Eternals Deck. It's clearly about Kiriona and Harrow, plummeting to some unknown fate, never sleeping and needing to reminders to breathe. JD says of the song "...and the two of you will look toward the wealthy morning sky and know that in its gorgeous portents lie the certainty of death every single morning. The fact that you both know this is why you like each other so much." Artist Credit Ulfvae
