Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I'll be buried here with you

And I'll hold in these hands, all that remains”

Since I crucified her and then impaled her heart in the last drawings she gets to hug Harrow as a little treat

Also I needed it coz I was this close to cry again while thinking about the second book. And I didn’t want to explain to my little brother why his sister was weeping at midnight.🤡🤡

Harrow's necromantic power includes the ability to create underlighting whenever it's necessary.

it’s about being loved and how being loved will change you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. but maybe love has nothing to do with it. ianthe didn’t love naberius. she’s still stuck with him inside of her. ianthe loved coronabeth. she still left her. gideon loved harrow. harrow rejected her. harrow loved gideon. she’s saving her the last dance that will never come. you loved and it’s over and done but you’re forever changed and forever impacted by the love. it never goes away.

If you were going to make a character that was the soul of planet earth in a human body you might think to make her motherly. Wise. Forgiving. Mother Earth cares for us, she provides, right? But Tamsyn Muir wrote Nona the Ninth and said YES planet earth is loving but also she is SO SO ANGRY and HURTING. And actually she cannot care for others right now she needs to be cared FOR.

Also she wants to eat pencils and she thinks flowers are sexy.

I'm 100% sure this has been done to death (ha) but as I'm avoiding the tags like the plague for fear of spoilers, just take this single reaction to the first few chapters as my humble token of thanks.

ohhhhh I just realized the point of the fucking coffee shop AU. like, there's many points to the coffee shop AU. but...harrow in the coffee shop AU proves definitively that she would fall for gideon in any life, regardless of their relationship. no matter the circumstance - harrow would love gideon if she were nobody, if she was nothing more than a cute barista with a flirty smile. gideon, on the other hand, is quite clearly under the impression that harrow only loves her because she is her cavalier. she places being harrow's cavalier as evidence of her importance to harrow. as long as harrow accepts her as her cavalier, then she can never be nothing to harrow, because one flesh, one end.

even as kiriona, she's just waiting for the day she can swear to be harrow's cavalier again (get in line, thou big slut!). but harrow doesn't care if gideon is her cavalier at all - she loves gideon, just gideon.

#hey haha remember when i said that there is absolutely going to be a devastating scene when harrow releases gideon from her service #and gideon flips out about it because it's the worst rejection she can conceptualize #but harrow has proven in the coffee shop scene that she loves gideon despite her being a cavalier not bc of it #<- ohmygod....

thinking about “harrowhark, i gave you my whole life and you didn’t even want it” because while that line literally had me lying on my living room floor to process for like 5 straight minutes, what hurts is that it’s true.

like, harrow never needed gideon to die for her. harrow has never lacked people ready to die for her, and she bears people’s sacrifices like crosses. she’s already two hundred dead children of her house. crux would die for her. aiglamene would die for her. her great aunts would die for her. no, harrow did not need death from gideon - harrow is surrounded by offers of death.

what harrow needs is affection. all those people would throw themselves on a blade for the reverend daughter, but none of them were willing to really love harrowhark - she’s never had gentleness or love any more than gideon has, really. gideon’s sacrifice is different because she really was dying for harrow, not for the reverend daughter, but harrow doesn’t differentiate like that. gideon died for her, and in the moment there was very little choice, but harrow really just needed gideon to stay with her and love her. to live for her.

she didn’t want gideon’s whole life. she just wanted gideon. and what’s heartbreaking is that gideon - or kiriona - is starting to realize that (see: the scene with crux, right at the end of nona the ninth). kiriona realises that her sacrifice wasn’t unique, that harrow has always had people who would happily throw themselves on a blade for her.

what kiriona doesn’t see is that harrow doesn’t think it was meaningless. harrow knows the gravity of gideon’s sacrifice. what kiriona doesn’t see is that all harrow really wants is to have her back.
