Hua Mulan (Archer/ Lancer)

George Washington (Rider)

John Henry (Lancer)

Molly Pitcher (Archer)

Harriet Tubman (Rider/ Archer)

Mary Seacole (Caster)

Harry Houdini (Caster)

Judith (Book of Judith) (Assassin)

Abhimanyu and Vrishaketu (maybe Archer for both ?)

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Caster)

Sybil Ludington (Rider)

Deborah Sampson (Archer)

BONUS

Yudhishthira (Saber) - but as a Lily version of himself so that he can be the pampered little brother for once and not have to put up with his younger brothers’ BS. Duryodhana tries to make fun of him for it and Yudhi goes running to Karna, crying. While Karna chastises Dury for making fun of him, Yudhi evilly smirks at Dury from behind Karna, who faithfully plays into the Big Brother role. EVERYBODY is aware that Yudhi is basically playing Karna besides Karna!

Although Hanukkah is not mentioned in the story at all, and the Book of Judith never made it into the Tanakh, starting around the Hasmonean dynasty (140 B.C.E to 37 B.C.E) it became popular to recite the story on the Shabbat of Hanukkah– a tradition that continued into the Middle Ages. Due to this tradition of reading the story of Yehudit many people still associate eating dairy with Hanukkah (even if retelling the story isn’t as popular in modern times).

Gideon the Ninth is technically a murder mystery whodunnit except instead of collecting clues and solving the murder everyone is just like "Hmmm Gross. Yikes.... anyways back to our little tasks"

#in my mind this does not apply to judith #from her pov it's a completely different book and she thinks she is the hero of an agatha christie novel #tlt #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth

i think a lot about hot sauce and jeannemary. two young girls so ready to kill and to die. a comparison made all the worse when you recall that hot sauce lost all her family to the cohort, that she can specifically recall fourth style necromancy (using corpses as bombs). a fourteen and thirteen year old that could easily have been on opposite sides of the same front line.

#the locked tomb #the loss of childhood! senseless violence!#opposite ends of the propaganda machine #eskildit posts tlt #all of nona the ninth #how am i supposed to tag hot sauce #jeannemary chatur #ok to rb #edit: okay im actually gonna use these tags to ramble a lil #in many ways i feel alecto the ninth is gonna be the hardest book to actually pull off #first for the obvious reason that its an ending and endings are always hard #but second because nona the ninth was by far the most political book of the series #books 1 and 2 following harrow and gideon mean we're following characters on the outskirts of the empire #gideon is individually oppressed by the ninth and even harrow is considered a black sheep outsider of the nine houses #but they are still WITHIN the houses gideon has dreams of the cohort harrow has dreams of of revitalizing her house #nona was our actual introduction to the real consequences of the empire that characters like judith like jeannemary like corona herself #have their livelihoods and status entirely built on the imperial violence we see first hand on new rho #anyway i say all of this to say it means coming back to these characters might be kinda tricky!#the cost of the empire is no longer abstract its extremely palpable!#how does one return to our core cast we've know for multiple books now that we understand that #idk. interested to see where we go!

Anybody else catch this in GtN?

And then there's a paragraph or so, but the next words that are spoken are:

"Anybody else want to admit they're an unholy necromantic construct?"

The Unholy Necromantic Construct enters.

"Maybe later," he says.

Nobody bats an eye.

#THESE FUCKING BOOKS I SWEAR TO JOD #THEY JUST TELL YOU EVERYTHING BUT DONT GIVE YOU THE CONTEXT TO SEE IT UNTIL LATER #tlt teacher #judith deuteros #gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth spoilers #gtn spoilers #tlt meta #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus

But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord, were destroyed by the destroyer, and perished by serpents. As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer. But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction.

Book of Judith 8:24-27 Douay-Rheims Bible.

Artwork: Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant, Judith.
