#gideon the first #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #mine #i'm sure as soon as i post this i'm gonna think of another quote i'd like to use but this is long enough #anyways it's about. hector's role in the narrative of the iliad & an iliad as this man who honors his place in the story and his position #as hector of the shining helm #and about the role gideon plays in the narrative of htn particularly where he is playing a particular role to his duty and what he seems to #need to do to cling to whatever dregs of sanity he believes he has left #ironclad to his role in the narrative but so few people even the ones around him barely see him as more than #god's attack dog. bound by something no one else seems willing to name or identify #this is gonna be a if you get it you get it if you don't you don't post i think #g1deonheads rise!!! #hector and gideon as people who the narrative seems almost to Happen to #does that make any sense. HELLO

Extra late to the party, but ya girl finally finished Nona!

My notes:

-Cows hate God, justifiably

-this is how meat loves meat

-Prince (gender neutral)

-God hates Melbourne but is also sad it blew up first

-Resurrection beasts have issues

-Noodle is the goodest doggo: “Fight, don’t fight, Noodle!”

I'm thinking incoherently about how John makes Cassiopeia kill her wife to stick around with him and how she called him the most vindictive man she's ever met and how she established a society based on 'truth over solace in lies' About how g1deon could never choose between pyrrha and john, and how john put g1deon in a position to kill her, and he does, but does it in a way that breaks imperceptibly and lets pyrrha still live

I had some more thoughts ft. the glorified babysitters that made this kid their problem in the first place

[lastflowerofyourhouse]

once again rotating the fact that pyrrha and g1deon found out about wake's pregnancy and each, individually, immediately assumed it was theirs. which implies one of two things.

A. they were consistently having unprotected sex. gideon the first was having unprotected sex with the head of blood of eden. commander wake was having unprotected sex with a lyctor. pyrrha dve was having unprotected sex in someone else's body. stupid shit all around, guys, truly i expect better from you three.

B. they were in a closed, committed relationship, just wake and the two people in this guy's body, such that it didn't even occur to them that there may be another father. they both trusted implicitly that wake was not having sex with anyone else, at all.

or C. both

and honestly, i can't decide which option has stranger implications regarding their dynamic. what the fuck did those three have going on.

imagine ur doing 90 in a 55, ur water just broke, u arent even trying to get to the hospital about it youre trying to get away from your ex man (who is also your girl) who is also the fucking traffic cop trying to arrest you for speeding and also some unrelated stuff (the only reason he hasnt called a full on car chase is because he thinks you're pregnant with his kid) (its not his kid, you specifically picked his boss as your sperm donor to make said boss’s life hell) and you have a pretty good idea about what the last couple hours of commander wake's life was like

[vaguely-concerned]

I always feel somehow insulted on the guy's behalf when people ascribe every single sign of personality g1deon ever exhibits to pyrrha peeking through. he is a fairly inscrutable character seen through harrow's eyes (she is also, understandably, distracted by the fact that he keeps trying to murder her lol), but credit him with at least a little bit of interiority and depth of character, huh. there must have been something there for pyrrha to have loved and trusted him so much. him saluting harrow for almost turning him inside out at dinner makes perfect sense seen in context with the way he hilariously and casually is like 'sorry about this whole thing btw, this wasn't my idea' the last time he tries to kill her, and it being pyrrha instead only opens questions of how augustine at least wouldn't have noticed the changing eye colour (HUGE risk for pyrrha to take for no good reason, if so). g1deon clearly has a kind of deep respect for a worthy opponent, as we also see with wake, and there are several times when the dios apate disaster trio are being. well, themselves, where it's noted that g1deon looks at harrow as if in quiet solidarity (even if it just freaks her out fhdssdfa). this poor guy has been sure he's losing his mind for ten thousand years and when he found out he'd apparently been fucking The one person he shouldn't during his blackouts he just. he just went with it? for a while??? it seems????? listen I'm saying this guy has got layers and he provably has Weird ideas about the capacity for coexistence between cameraderie, respect and attempted murder

idk. he's not the most charismatic presence in the books, I know, but I feel bad about the idea of denying him basic humanity and depth. and if nothing else will convince people, HOW could you disrespect pyrrha like this by assuming she was once upon a time ready to give her whole soul to a guy who's genuinely thoroughly boring and swagless

#a slight vagueblog but more about a sentiment I've seen in many different places than anyone in particular im not calling anyone out haha #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #gideon the first #justice for gideon original flavour he's just as unhinged as the rest of them and deserves to be recognized for it

[mayasaura]

I'm going crazy thinking about Pyrrha and Gideon and the permeability of souls. Bc what first tipped Palamedes off was a habit that he, the intrusive soul, picked up from Ianthe, the host. The osmosis doesn't just go one way. While Pyrrha's soul bled into Gideon, he was seeping into her, too.

Gideon wasn't an attack dog in John's recollection. He was steadfast and devoted, but he was an engineer moonlighting as a grill dad. Reminding John to put airholes in his bovine forcefield, then firing up the barbie to make sure everyone got fed. It was Pyrrha who carried a gun and wanted to hit back hard and fast. Pyrrha who advocated for a show of force.

How much of the Saint of Duty's bloody minded perseverence did Gideon get from Pyrrha, and how much was originally his? Would the Pyrrha of ten thousand years ago have stood at a stove on the eve of an apocalypse flipping pikelets for the kiddie, or is that something she picked up from Gideon?

Pyrrha says Gideon the First’s ORIGINAL name, here, change my mind:

Compare the G dash to the standard em dash above it…it’s longer and thicker, just like the placeholders in John’s speech. AND it’s followed by a comma, which isn’t standard if it’s just indicating interruption.

That’s G’s real name, and somehow not even Alecto can hear it…so what did John DO?

Audiobook folks, does this stand out in the audio version as much as it does visually??

imagine being god's childhood best friend, and never swaying in your devotion even after he got blacklisted worldwide/ turned a bunch of farm animals inside out/ started a cult, and willingly carrying a nuke for him because he trusted your resolve more than he trusted his own, only to get 3rd place amongst his ranked sluts. imagine

[nonasemporium]

do you ever think about how g1deon was an engineer and how it almost never gets brought up and how a lot of the jokes about him are how he's a huge mass of muscle and how he has no personality and
