you guys think camilla hect would beat the sleeper in a fight? camilla hect against awake remembrance of these valiant dead? camilla hect who got dealt a lethal blow by ianthe naberius? get real.

#sorry. i'm pissed off #you think CAMILLA HECT. #i'm not saying she's not a good duelist she clearly is #but wake spent her whole life fighting necromancers and their cavaliers #they had to summon the ghost of matthias nonius to fight her and he barely won and only bc her guns stopped working

[vhalesa]

"As my cavalier you should consider using a rapier as well, ma Claudine <3"

"Shut up! How are you so skilled with that damn thing anyway..."

#mayakuro #kuromaya #revue starlight #saijou claudine #tendou maya #art #the locked tomb #the ninth #just wanted to check if they look cute as necromancer/cavalier #also thought it would be funny Maya being better with the rapier than her cavalier preferring as sword lol #this au too scary/angsty though goodbye #yes I had fun with the font lol

[cannivalisms]

do you guys ever think about how babs hated ianthe (or at least had a strained sort of friendship with her) but was the perfect archetype of a cavalier, while gideon l*ved harrow but was a terrible archetype of a cavalier, and those are the only two pairs at canaan house who became lyctors.

& while we're at it, do you ever think about how, despite babs being literally born and raised for the role, it was gideon who actually served as the 'better cavalier' in the end

#the locked tomb #gideon nav #naberius tern #gideon the ninth #the unwanted guest #babs was literally perfect as a cavalier except when it counted. except when he was meant to embody the whole point of a cavalier #& die for his necromancer. which gideon (the terrible cavalier) did without a second thought #and then the book ends with gideon desperately trying to become that perfect cavalier and stay dead & in her role for harrow #while babs is still the one prone to kicking up a fit in ianthe's body. even as she still insists he was ever so loyal #i just find them real fucking neat. #books #notnow #bonus bonus: still deranged thinking about a world where babs knew this was his point from the start. or also (as a friend pointed out) #if he knew it was between him and corona in the end. would he have gone any quieter?

ianthe tridentarius had to become a lyctor because she’s the only one who had always been two necromancers  people for years before she ascended. tlt is full of One Person Who is Actually Two People combos and now i’m thinking about ianthe the first (two people by definition) who is, for the first time in a long time, by herself 

#gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #ianthe tridentarius #yes corona was her cavalier but ianthe was corona's necromancer

“the locked tomb is about love vs. freedom” “the locked tomb is about death” “the locked tomb is about the dangers of codependent relationships” “the locked tomb is about climate change” “the locked tomb is about identity with regards to the soul” yeah sure but above all else. the locked tomb is about bodily autonomy

#idk just thinking about alecto and the parallel tamsyn muir draws between fighting climate change #and the body autonomy fight of the feminist movement #the patriarchal control and harm john exerts on the earth in a paternal patronizing attempt to save it #the byproduct of john eating the earth being an eve-like creation of alecto in the model of the pinnacle of white femininity #the way that necromancers keep their body when becoming lyctors except for their cavaliers’ eyes and consumed soul #the difference between ianthe fucking with harrow’s hair glands vs. harrow growing ianthe a new arm #the resistance’s plan to take down john being contingent on nonconsensual sex. wake despising carrying gideon for nine months. #the creation of paul being implied to create a new body #nona being able to read all body language and understanding people best through how they physically are #john making kiriona’s body ‘perfect’ by making it impenetrable (untouchable) and heartless #harrow puppeting her dead parents’ bodies for years. john raising ulysses and titania as dead puppets as his first act of necromancy #nona being able to speak with varun and empathize with his grief and anger #idk. bodies and planets and personhood and the violation of all #the locked tomb #blah.txt

I’m wondering... what if we’ve been interpreting Pyrrha’s observation backwards? What if the stoma didn’t react to John because of his connection to the Resurrection Beasts, but rather the other way around? This whole time they’ve been reacting to the Resurrection Beasts because of their connection to John, and by extension Alecto.

It’s been bugging me that the thing that possessed Colum Asht gave him eyes black as the Emperor’s, before it turned them to stoma in his head. It’s been bugging me even more that it only stomafied him after coming into contact with Gideon. His eyes were black until Gideon attacked him, and then they turned to mouths in his head. Whatever was in Colum tried to eat Gideon, like the stoma eat Resurrection Beasts.

Then there’s another thing that’s been bugging me. Why, out of the hundreds of thousands of planets that John and his Empire have killed, are there only nine Resurrection Beasts? Why can the minor beasts Harrow creates be killed by a half-realised baby lyctor with a sword, while the Resurrection Beasts are literally unkillable? They have to be flayed to their cores and then shoved through the mouth of hell, where we don’t know what happens to them. That’s not a difference in scale, it’s a difference in nature. The Resurrection Beasts are just as immortal as Gideon, and the stoma reach for them both the same.

John is the connecting factor. John, and the power he derives from Alecto. The power which created the Resurrection Beasts, and which Gideon inherited a part of. The stoma aren’t after the Resurrection Beasts, not really; they want John. They want Alecto, and the power that enabled the Resurrection that’s still embedded in the souls of the planets that died for it.

#I have to speculate that this is connected to the displacement #and the things there that eat us that Ianthe referred to once and have not been mentioned since #suspicious as fuck if you ask me #I do still think the RBs are the source of necromancy #but John is not a normal necromancer and his power comes from somewhere else #something else #whatever Alecto is she comes from the place beyond the stoma #and the place beyond the stoma wants her back #if siphoning really does create a connection to that place via the displaced soul of the cavalier no wonder John condemns it #the last thing he wants is for whatever's over there to find a pathway into his world #not when it's coming for him #not when it's coming for Alecto #I thought the fundamental difference between Harrow's entombment of Gideon and John's entombment of Alecto #was that Harrow was protecting Gideon and John was hurting Alecto #I might have to revisit this assumption and tag it with a question mark #Of course John's motives are still suspect as fuck and of course I don't trust the man #but I have to remember what parts of the picture we have are facts and what parts are conjecture #right now it's mostly conjecture #the locked tomb #tlt meta #alecto the first #the resurrection #emperor john gaius #harrow the ninth #htn spoilers #alecto theories #the stoma #I've been gone for a week but I'm back bitches! #did you miss me? I've missed you

Sorry to interrupt the cereal shenanigans but I’ve read a little farther in harrow and I’m having Marta Dyas brainrots

#soph’s posts #the locked tomb #“I just want to know-” #The way she’s ramrod-straight even after losing Judith… #I know it’s just Harrow’s imagination but it makes me wonder what it would’ve been like if Judith had died instead of her #I feel like a cohort cav whose necromancer dies is punished and/or ostracized because they failed at their duty #Idk it must suck in general to be a cavalier without a necromancer to stand by #Marta dyas

[catfoodsminmo]

i'm literally sitting here like "it would be fine and normal for me to go put markers in gtn wherever naberius shows up" bc i'm thinking about him again like my god he's such an asshole and a whiner and a snake but when you're pledged to the tridentarii that's the only way to survive without getting eaten whole

#locked tomb #im really really normal about naberius and thinking about his life #and the electrum twins absolutely tormenting him #like man there must have been so much resentment going on there between the three of them because ianthe wanted corona as her cavalier #and corona seemingly wanted to be cavalier but that's not allowed (or she wanted to be necromancer and holds some resentment that she isnt #and then there's babs born to be a sword and shield to twins who dont really need him but also thats the ONLY person besides ianthe #who corona really connected with in any sort of meaningful way #AND HE GOT EATEN ANYWAYS JUST NOT WHOLE #AND INSTEAD BECAME A FUCKING CORPSEPUPPET FOR THE SILVER SNAKE WHO PLAGUES HIM (AND PEGS HIM)

BOOK DONE … jesus gideon… you just HAD to go and off yourself… but leik where did your body go….

#something about the como se dice homo energy between a cavalier and her necromancer …. #UGHH…… #sofi reads tlt

[lunatic-harness]

locked tomb gave me so much brainrot that when i see a vtuber pilot another vtuber’s model all i can think of is “wow they achieved lyctorhood”

#the locked tomb #like that video of pomu nijisanji using selen's model #like. my thought process was haha selen is the necromancer and pomu is the cavalier #selen the 2434th and her cavalier pomu rainpuff

I feel like coronabeth and ianthe should both be paid for having to be related to each other

#ianthe because holy shit imagine if your sister was drop dead gorgeous and got all the attention and you have to keep up an act that shes #skilled as hell too; further shifting attention onto her #and coronabeth should be paid because i mean. gestures vaguely at ianthe #like she did not ask for this situation nor to have a batshit insane twin #im gonna overinterpret that scene where she spars w gideon before naberius gets pissy as corona wanting to be a cavalier #i mean. yeah later she outright says she wanted to do the Ultimate Duty Of Cavaliers but yknow #i think she probably also just wanted the cool bodyguard w a sword job #All This To Say i think theres a solid chance corona has no interest in the whole keeping up the appearance of twin necromancers

I love love love the moment in Gideon the Ninth where the Third challenges the Sixth in a clearly unfair move, and Gideon, half-on-instinct, still faking a vow of silence, simply unsheathes her sword, at which Harrow doesn't miss a beat and says her "The Ninth House will represent the Sixth House" line, while Gideon just smiles.

In Gideon's head this is "I am not standing for this shit anymore. For the love of God, Harrow, please understand what I'm doing and back me up here. Oh thank fuck you've got it. I'm so happy I could kiss you."

In Harrow's head this appears to be "For fuck's sakes, Nav, what do you think you're doing. Ok, think. Can't give anything away. Have to project unity, but fuck you, Griddle, for making me do this."

But for everyone else this is the legendary, mysterious, terrifying, bone magicians of the Ninth House, with no warning, stepping between the Sixth and the Third. The skull-faced cavalier who hasn't said a single word simply drawing her sword. The shockingly powerful and inscrutable necromancer matter-of-factly declaring an alliance that no-one, even the supposed allies, knew about. The sinister smirk on the cavalier's face. And the line from Harrowhark: "Death first to vultures and scavengers."

I love it so much and I love additionally the moment that this sets up in the climax, which is essentially the same emotional beat, the key changes being 1) both Harrow and Gideon have become open and vocal with each other; 2) both Harrow and Gideon are working together consciously as well as instinctively; 3) their opponents don't back down so they follow through. "Nav, show them what the Ninth House does." "We do bones, motherfucker."

Crazy take but people with natural thanergy can swing a sword too if they want to. It literally doesn't hurt you at all.

"people with natural thanergy" you mean necromancers. if you mean necromancers, say necromancers.

Your name is Ianthe.

You have a sister. "I love you," she says.

"I love you," you say, and you are happy.

You have parents. "Love me," you say.

"Your sister is so beautiful," they say.

You are a necromancer. You have a talent, a real talent. Your sister does not.

"They won't love me now," she cries.

"I love you," you say. You can be enough necromancer for both of you. You have a talent. Your parents are pleased.

"Love me?" you ask.

"Your sister is so gifted," they say.

God summons you to be his hand. You are patient. You are diligent. You are so fucking talented. You are the first to find the way.

"Eat me", your sister begs.

"But I love you!" you refuse.

"You don't love me," she cries.

There's another girl. Quiet. Avoidant. As talented as you. She learns from your example. She finds the way.

"Eat me," her cavalier demands.

"But I love you," she refuses.

"Love me," you whisper.

She tells you to shatter her mind.

You are with God. You passed His tests. You claimed His power. You did it all by yourself. "Love me," you demand.

"Would you like some tea, Harrowhark?" he says.

She's still with you. Her mind is broken. Her talent is spent. Her power is failing. She has destroyed herself for her love. Love me, you think.

The end approaches. Her doom is nigh. You can survive. You can save her. "Love me," you beg.

"I could never love you," she spits.

The end comes, and then goes. God lives by your intervention alone. His other hands are dead. He is broken. All his power is yours. The entire universe spreads out before you, ripe for the taking.

"Love me!" you scream.

"Love me," you sob.

Love me.

Your name is Ianthe. And you are alone.
