i think the funniest possible star trek viewing order might be strictly chronological.

you’d have to start with that Voyager episode where they go to before the Big Bang, then work your way through every other time travel episode, the one with the whales, and First Contact before you even get close to anything approaching a normal viewing order.

at some point you’d have to watch “City on The Edge of Forever” followed by “Little Green Men” followed by “Far Beyond the Stars” which is about the most tonal whiplash you could possibly get from three consecutive episodes of star trek. I think I want to try this now.

Thinking about how tragedies only work when the characters are robbed of choice. It was always going to turn out this way. This was always going to happen. She's been dead since the beginning. You have already done all of this and you will do it again. He's a brave man, but deep down, he'd rather be taming horses.

The way Gideon's narration, at the end of Ht9, so wildly oscillates between fury and love. I'm obsessed, it drives me insane.

"you sack of Ninth House garbage" right up next to "there were a couple of callouses now on those soft necromancer’s palms, and I was proud of you."

"you cross-patched necromantic shit" mere paragraphs before "don't worry, honey, I'll keep the home fires burning."

And don't even get me started on the brume of pain and devotion that is "I gave you my whole life and you didn't even want it."

Fuck. FUCK.

#I GAVE YOU MY WHOLE LIFE AND YOU DIDNT EVEN WANT IT #tattoo it on my forehead bc i think about it 24/7 #the locked tomb

the bit in HtN in the canaan house dream bubble where harrow says something along the lines of, "this is unsustainable, you are all in danger, we need to find a way for you to escape" and abigail responds, "we know how. we already did it for the kids. we all could have left at any time and we all chose to stay, for you". and then harrow is like, "ok but at least ortus should leave. he isn't a fighter, he never was, he deserves to leave" and abigail just shuts her down. she's like, "i already tried, and he can't be convinced. he wants to stay for you". i am unwell about it. harrow can't even really try to convince the remaining souls to leave her because they have already sent away the ones who needed to be protected and they have already tried to convince each other, and failed. there's nothing left for her to use as ammunition against herself. there's nothing left but evidence that she is cared for. forgive me but i just want characters who have spent their life drowning in self loating to be forced to reckon with the fact that they are loved.

#and when ortus hugged her and told her that he should’ve protected them bc he was an adult and she and gideon were just children #the way. i. put down the book and sobbed. #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth

Underrated moment in Harrow the ninth is when everything is well and truly going to shit and Pyhrra takes a moment to say hey man I know you've got a lot going on right now but I just thought you should know that I also did fuck your mum

#at this point who knows how many parents gideon has #we’re at like 6 so far and why do i get the feeling tamsyn is gonna add more #the locked tomb

[missthornbirds]

So I'm halfway through Gideon the Ninth and how come nobody has told me about Dulcinea?? She's so good, you'd think people would go bonkers over her

#Top Ten Moments Before Disaster #im cackling #the locked tomb

tamsyn really did something with the dynamic of jod and the lyctors she was like i’m gonna take just some guy and his friends and make him god and them immortal but ten thousand years later they still kinda treat him like hes god but also like a guy they’ve been stuck being friends with for Ten Thousand Years but you can never tell which one it is because they’re all ten thousand years old and have moved far past normal human expression and communication structures and they’re all also kinda psychosexually obsessed with each other and have and Do fuck .. mercy alters her own dna at will to turn her hair pink for funsies . god makes a none pizza with left beef joke . g1deon is actively attempting murder for most of the book . god has a threesome on the dinner table

#the rejection of the found family trope is simply amazing #the locked tomb

[missthornbirds]

the dynamic between harrow and ianthe in htn is so funny. harrow’s like: she creeps me out a lot, she’s disgusting and ugly. i made out with her a couple times. it was gross. i prefer my imaginary corpse girlfriend

and ianthe is just like: i’m going to marry this girl (malicious intent)

#them sharing a bed and harrow being both repulsed and incredibly ferally disgustingly touch starved #ianthe cracking open harrow’s skull and being like yeah. i’m gonna ruin her emotionally too #the locked tomb

I just started Harrow the ninth and the shift in tone… was both jarring and kind of hilarious.

#NO FR #says a lot about the series that the 1st book is a more feel good ride than the 2nd 😭 #the 2nd is 67 layers and only like 5 of them are explained #the locked tomb

Gideon the Ninth sketches I did while reading and still trying to figure out what everybody looks like

#this is almost exactly how i pictured all of them #i LOVE harrow here #small raccoon baby #the locked tomb

[missthornbirds]

I hope to Jod this is their dynamic

#the locked tomb #i want the body to give gideon a run for her himbo money
