Gideon is my lord and savior but you know Aiglamene would have put a stop to all the Canaan house nonsense in the first 10 chapters

Aiglamene touching Gideon/Kiriona's face. Aiglamene realizing Gideon was dead. Aiglamene, having just kneeled to who she thought was Harrowhark. Aiglamene turning to Nona and Nona realizing that Aiglamene was angry and BLAMED Harrowhark.

Aiglamene doing her duty to her Reverend Daughter first and foremost is everything I expected of her. I think I expected her to like, nod at Gideon/Kiriona in acknowledgement or something similar.

Her reaching out and touching Gideon/Kiriona's face? Gideon/Kiriona recovering FASTER than Aiglamene? Aiglamene being so affected by Gideon dying that Gideon herself recognizes that Aiglamene has turned her blame and anger toward Harrowhark and informs Aiglamene that it's Harrow's body, but not Harrow.

I just had a lot of feelings about this scene. Especially Aiglamene saying, "They killed you."

I just, I really liked this moment. A moment where Aiglamene's duty to Harrow takes a step back to that anger for Gideon. I won't lie, I cried. It shows that Aiglamene cares about Gideon/Kiriona.

@torbooks For Jod’s sake, please give us some Alecto news, it’s getting desperate out here

Edit: hfs did not expect any official response but thank you and we as a fandom are very sorry. Class, say thank you to the nice (now scarred) editor and let’s return to patiently waiting for AtN (i.e. fanart, ao3 and crackshipping)

[blankinsidecards]

thinking about Aiglamene. Like, so

a child crash lands in town. mystery where she came from. the mother is dead. this tiny redheaded thing has no one in the world. the town takes her in because what else are you supposed to do with a orphan dropped on your doorstep, but they don’t love her. the reverend family needs an heir, so they kill every single child on the planet- wait, scratch that, all but one. this one kid is alive, she’s alive, against all odds. so naturally, everyone’s scared of her. everyone hates her. out of all the children to survive why was it the one no one cared about. but they move on, everyone does, and the kid grows. and she starts asking questions. you start answering them. you start telling her stories, and it’s nice to be listened to, even if the kid is just a twerp. you start teaching her, she’s a natural with a sword, but you don’t tell her because it’ll go to her head. you’ve never had a maternal bone in your body, you aren’t mothering her… but she’s got nobody. and neither do you. you train her, you teach her, you tell her she can get out, get free from this place, if she works hard enough, fights good enough. she works hard. she fights well, better than you ever did at her age. she tries to get out. she gets caught. she tries again. and again. and again. and eventually, there’s a chance, a real chance. you’re the only person in the world who could get through this kid’s thick skull, and you tell her: this is your chance, this is it, you’re getting out, you’re leaving me, you’re never coming back, you’ve going to live, you have to get out now. and she goes. she goes, and she doesn’t come back. she doesn’t come back, and then she does… and she’s dead. she’s dead, and she’s back, the two things you prayed wouldn’t happen. she’s back and she’s dead and this is your child, you raised her, and you sent her off, promising a bright future, and it killed her.

Sorry, I just desperately want Gideon Nav to know that she has a mother in Pyrrha Dve. John doesn't matter, Wake doesn't matter. Pyrrha wanted her when she thought Gideon was hers. Pyrrha wants her now, knowing full well that Gideon isn't hers.

It's making me cry actually. Gideon Nav thinks that she is just a weapon, a bomb, a sword, a shield. She doesn't know that people love her.

She doesn't know that she's Pyrrha's daughter. She doesn't know that she's Aiglamene's protégé. She doesn't know that Camilla and Palamedes loved her, that they were friends, that they missed her. She doesn't know that Harrow loves her, that Harrow tore herself apart because she wanted Gideon to live. That is all anyone who loves her has wanted her to do.

Aiglamene wanted her to live and have her dream. Harrow wanted her to live. Palamedes wanted her to live. Pyrrha wanted her to live and she didn't even know her.

Aiglamene was going to hurt Nona when she thought she was Harrow. She was going to hurt Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the Reverend Daughter of Drearburh because she had betrayed the oath that she swore to Aiglamene.

Pyrrha asked Wake why she had brought Gideon. She wanted her. She wanted her. She wanted Gideon Nav. She wanted to hold her even as a Corpse Prince. Anyway if I keep thinking about this I'm gonna lose my mind.

One of my friends started the locked tomb series recently and it gave me the itch to draw my take on the ninth house cast. Lots of goth old people, just my style! :D

Rating the mommy issues of TLT characters in alphabetical order

contains spoilers technically

Abigail: can't have kids but clearly maternal as fuck. call her mother. 2/10

Aiglamene: she has inverse mommy issues - daughter issues. -10/10

Augustine: full offense but he has freudian vibes. fuck-hate relationship w mercymorn who is has the energy of a neglectful mother. 7/10

Camilla: clearly raised by incredibly competent parents - unclear if she had a mother. Even if she did her real issues are codependency with Palamedes. 0/10

Corona: unconfirmed but a girl like that did NOT experience maternal affection growing up. 5/10

Crux: yknow what. nobody whose mother held them enough is Like That. 10/10

Dulcinea: idk if she had a mother, but i get 'raised by gay dad(s)' vibes from her. possibly the best adjusted character of all 0/10

G1deon: man is obsessed with doing what God wants EXCEPT when it's not to fuck a terrorist. four parts people pleaser one part horny 5/10

Gideon: mum only birthed her to blow her up, died, then used her afterlife to terrorise Gideon’s not-quite-girlfriend; gave her a desperate desire for external validation and attention, especially from evil cougars. 11/10

Harrow: mum committed genocide to conceive her, never smiled at her, attempted to murder-suicide her. 12/10

Ianthe: unclear. daddy issues but no mention of mother afaik - might not even have one. no indication of mommy issues in her romantic life bc she didn’t attempt to fuck mercymorn. HOWEVER she’s such a freak she can’t possibly have had a positive female role model. 3/10

Isaac: born in a vat but had abigail as a maternal figure so 5/10

Jeannemary: same as isaac but she's definitely sapphic so bump that to 6/10

John: literally reformed the Earth in the image of his mum’s old Hollywood hair Barbie. Also, look at him. 100/10

Judith: 9/10 no questions

Magnus: so chill but also he has the vibes of someone into mommydom shit. he's sucked abigail's tits for SURE 3/10

Marta: idk i think she has 'estranged from family' vibes. 4/10

Mercymorn: her mother might have been good but she can't remember her, so 5/10

Naberius: he kissed his mother on the mouth DAILY and you know it. 10/10

Ortus: mostly daddy issues but you saw his mother. 8/10

Palamedes: I haven’t read Doctor Sex but I have his mommy issues on good authority. I hate to say it but camilla is his mommy. 6/10

Pyrrha: unknown. Loves a milf but then who doesn’t. 1/10

Wake: giver of mommy issues. she's the mommy that's the issue. unrateable

[ETA: @everyone making fun of me for saying he sucks tits like it's something special im SORRY i didn't say magnus sits on abigails lap and pretends to breastfeed but i thought it would be GROSS i guess i forgot what this fandom is. ily all be home for dinner]

[theriverbeyond]

weeping because way back in book 1, in chapter 1 all the way back on page 22, Gideon says that no one on the Ninth had ever loved her, not even Aiglamene, and the idea that she had been loved would be ridiculous. and then in book 3 we return to the Ninth and Aiglamene saw that Gideon was dead and she was. furious. she was furious with Harrow. everyone else was ready to kiss Harrow's feet and Aiglamene was ready to tear into the fucking Revered Daughter right there in public, until Gideon stopped her. do you think she told Harrow to bring Gideon back alive? do you think, before they left for Canaan House, Aiglamene sat Harrow down and told her whatever the fuck happens out there, that she cannot let any harm come to Gideon Nav?

baby Gideon needed the kind of tender loving care that no one on the Ninth was capable of giving her. this is a fact. but I believe Aiglamene DID, and DOES still love her. Aiglamene petitioned to give her the sword. she saw Gideon fighting against the strictures of the Ninth House and she understood that Gideon would never be a nun or a penitent. she spent hours and hours and hours with her training and teaching and giving Gideon the only kind of love she knew how to give. she wouldn't have done that if she didn't love her. fuck.

#gideon nav #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers #nona spoilers #kiriona #goddddddddddddd im crawling the walls im on the CEILING. #gideom deserves love and the only kind of love she was GIVEN she could not recognize because she never got the fucking #tender loving care that anyone needs. #if gideon had been loved tenderly as a child she would have been able to recognize Aiglamanine's love but she didnt get that #she didnt get it and she died thinking she had never been loved #and now she's a corpse without a heart. #saddest girl in the fucking world #corpse who never got to be a child. #aiglamene

Has anyone ever made the observation that Aiglamene might be a reference to Rosemary Sutcliffe's Eagle of the Ninth? It's an old kid's book from the 1950s but I wouldn't put it past Tamsyn to know it, esp since Sutcliff did a bunch of Arthuriana stuff too and Tamsyn def knows about that. But like... Aiglamene's name literally means Eagle. She is the Eagle of the Ninth. And the summary of the Eagle of the Ninth:

Discharged because of a battle wound that has left him lame in one leg, a young Roman officer Marcus Flavius Aquila tries to discover the truth about the disappearance of his father's legion in northern Britain. Disguised as a Greek oculist and travelling beyond Hadrian's Wall with his freed ex-slave, the British native hunter Esca, Marcus finds that a demoralized and mutinous Ninth Legion was annihilated by a great rising of the northern tribes. In part, this disgrace was redeemed through a heroic last stand by a small remnant (including Marcus's father) around the legion's eagle standard. Marcus's hope of seeing the lost legion re-established is dashed, but he is able to bring back the gilded bronze eagle so that it can no longer serve as a symbol of Roman defeat – and thus will no longer be a danger to the frontier's security. Rewarded by Rome for his services, he decides to settle as a landowner and farmer in Britain with his British wife, Cottia, and his freed friend, Esca.

The leg wound detail has me side-eyeing it I can't lie, it's a little too specific given Aiglamene is missing a leg and then it was regrown badly, and this is mentioned a bunch... and the bits about being disguised and the original Ninth outpost being overthrown and mutinous and finally redeemed through some heroic final stand... I don't know if this could give us either some insight into Aiglamene's backstory, or what could happen with the Ninth in Alecto? I know people have speculated Aiglamene's probably not originally Ninth, or even that she could be a spy/working w BoE? Idk if I agree, but regardless this might make her originally being an outsider and having her own motivations for being on the Ninth hold water a bit more. Or I could totally be chatting shit and this has nothing to do with anything and everyone's going insane waiting for Alecto news. Something to chew on at any rate.

everybody posting about how we need more blorbo culture around fictional women would absolutely LOVE the locked tomb fandom.

literally all we ever say is "she fucked that old woman" "she's my pathetic sopping wet poor little meow meow" "her swagless looks and cringefail personality have captivated me" "i could fix her but she could make me worse"
