#but making any other choice would be both unconscionable and untenable!

[mayasaura]

ms. maya, you have good opinions & ive been chewing on this question for a while: what do you think rd!gideon would do if cav!harrow died for her? im not so sure that she'd go down the lobotomy route, but i do think shed do something equally insane

bruh. I don't even know. I agree, she'd come up with her own bull-headed solution. Her mind doesn't twist into labyrinths like Harrow's. Building a construct out of her own skull to enforce a self-administered lobotomy was a uniquely Nonagesimus kind of solution.

Harrow Nova absolutely would sacrifice herself for Gideon. She'd do it gladly, if she thought it would save her necromancer's life. She might do it believing this was the reason the universe had suffered her to exist at all; so she could use her ill-gotten life to fuel Gideon's ascension. And Gideon would.....

It depends on the situation, but I think Gideon might say no. To all of it. She would refuse to elevate herself at Harrow's expense, to derive further privilege from Harrow's suffering. She'd find some way to keep Harrow without consuming her at all, and not become a lyctor. Trap Harrow's soul and stuff it in a jar. Hold onto the pieces of her until she can figure out how to fix them and put them back together.

That is, of course, assuming she'd be able to survive without becoming a lyctor. Which I am assuming because the thing Gideon knows, and Harrow mercifully doesn't, is that Cytherea didn't intend to kill Gideon. She says as much before Harrow gets there, right after Palamedes went off.

If she had to take a nibble to survive, and started the process? Fuck, man. She'd wish really, really, hard? We don't know, it might work. Pyrrha survived without any elective surgery, and our Gideon is very very good at not looking into the parts of her brain she doesn't want to see, and not thinking about things she isn't ready to understand. She might end up exactly like the Gideon before her, blacking out and losing time and having no idea why because her secretive bodymate elected not to enlighten her as to her continued existence.

Or, and this is a fun one, she might go 'welp, can't eat her if I'm not here!' and put herself into a coma. My favourite scenario for this is that it yeets her soul right out of her body and into the River before she's even been taught how to do that, and Harrow is left behind in her body to be a broken lyctor who can't necromancy. The more things change...

#one way or another she would refuse to eat Harrow #and thereby refusing she would deny Harrow agency over her own death just as she lacked it in life! #but making any other choice would be both unconscionable and untenable! #in every universe these girls are just the BEST at playing games where everyone loses #the locked tomb #htn spoilers #harrow the ninth #harrow nova #harrow nova au #thank you for the compliment!! I'm glad you like my opinions #ilu

The Rapist! (Poem)

By Stanley Collymore

 You boastfully claim you not only love sex and consequently in

the bargain of doing so as the definitely skilled connoisseur

that you openly say you are in expertly recognizing and

when disposed to always befittingly addressing the sexual

requirements of those who’ve been rather privileged to

have themselves skilfully serviced by you, you additionally

state in the most self-centred way that you can modestly

manage to do that this state of affairs fully explains,

or self-evidently should do, why it is that you’re

not only evidently and immensely empathetic

towards sex but likewise in these expressed

conditions are thoroughly addicted to it.

 And therefore and quite understandably, as you additionally

explain in your rather irrational and ridiculous manner,

accounts for why you’re obliged to habitually have

sex, irrespective of whether those persons whom

you’ve specifically selected for your routine

occurrences of sexual manipulation and your individual

glorification end up either meekly or even willingly

eager and excitedly complying with your carnal

demands of them as choice-less pawns in the

matter, and then noticeably manipulatively

swayed, in the interim, by you that what

they’re carnally ensuring isn’t simply

typical procedure, but furthermore

is rightfully and compatibly for

them an intensely innate and

compelling desire which is

both subconsciously and

naturally being sprung

from inside of them.

 So driven by such irresistible cravings and indomitable

circumstances then, the only realistic, sensible and

rational response expected from them is not to

pointlessly resist this enthralling and clearly

inevitable outcome, but instead to firmly

and welcomingly, instantly, spiritedly,

gratefully both go along with and completely embrace

this arbitrary scenario that you always put to your

star-crossed and helpless victims and therefore

anticipatorily expect to superciliously from

your obviously assumed position of total

command and absolute influence over

them casually and always easily get

away without any punishments at

all, with whatever it is that you

persistently and evilly doing.

 An absolute and uncompromising hubris on your part that

countenances no understanding whatsoever of the orally

expressed, emotionally demonstrated or the naturally

connected with both of these and consequently the

decidedly unflattering opinions regarding what

you, as these victim’s undisputed rapist, are

coercively and unconscionably doing to them. Incidences

that quite evidently don’t matter in the slightest to you,

or would they even when one factors into the other

sexual abuses’ equation what you are similarly

desirous of perpetrating when indulging in

your accustomed illegal and discernibly

appalling sexually abusive behaviour.

 For in your noticeably twisted, utterly sickening and totally

egotistic calculation of this solely untenable and outright

demeaning situation that you’re always so desirous of

imposing on others, and where the perverse evil of

your hectic opportunism enmeshed supportively

with the analysed deduction of your intensely

believed in and just as inflexibly practised

aberrant sexual actions are, in essence, as much an integral

part of your own sexual exploitations as the habitually

stipulated, diligently devised, established planning

and the subsequent utilization of these numerous

things that in turn, and matching these several

other specified and sexual forms of human

violations, do unambiguously, as a direct

consequence of all this, unforgettably,

irrefutably and unforgivably in such

circumstances, definitely sets you

totally apart from conventional

humans to struggle endlessly

as what you clearly are and

will always be, a highly

revolting and a most

uncharitable rapist!

  Author’s Remarks:

To start with, and in the process making it abundantly and unequivocally clear, this is no jumping onto any current or other bandwagon on my part regarding the issues of rape, sexual abuse and violence, which I’ve written about in this article and the attendant poem also entitled The Rapist.

 And it has nothing at all to do with either insensitivity or the lack of a caring and empathetic attitude by me. Rather the contrary I would say. And to be perfectly honest with you my reason for purposefully taking this stance that jumping on bandwagons, and what’s more gratuitously so, is totally alien to my character and something that I am adamantly, totally unapologetically and antipathetic towards.

 For I utterly detest self-righteous, self-serving, bogus sanctimoniously and contrived grief and abhorrence prats of both genders, regardless of who they are, what they do for a living or have no such thing, or what power and influence they have over others, a situation that I never submit to and especially if it’s a coercive or manipulative one.

 So I’ll be blunt! I consider rape and sexual abuse to be wrong and this irrespective and in line with whoever the perpetrators or the victims are.

 Yes, it’s a state of affairs that community-wise as well as globally has been around for millennia, but even so as mankind supposedly becomes better well-informed and more “civilized” and with the evils of rape and sexual abuse increasingly recognized and accepted as such it can only be hoped that these acts will be determinedly challenged, prosecuted - regardless of the social position of the perpetrators – and the REAL, as apart from the self-advertising and self-serving victims, more fully empathized with, given all the help they need and appropriately compensated.

The Rapist! (Article)

By Stanley Collymore

 You boastfully claim that you not only love sex and accordingly in the bargain of doing so as the unquestionably skilled connoisseur that you openly state that you are in expertly recognizing and when disposed to always satisfactorily addressing the sexual needs of those who’ve been rather fortunate to have themselves skilfully serviced by you, you further say in the most egotistical way that you can “modestly” Manage to do that this state of affairs fully explains, or self-evidently should do, why it is that you’re not only evidently and immensely empathetic towards sex but similarly thoroughly addicted to it.

 And consequently and quite understandably, as you additionally explain in your somewhat perverse and insane manner, accounts for why you must regularly have sex regardless of whether those persons whom you’ve specifically chosen for your routine episodes of sexual exploitation and glorification end up either meekly or even willingly eager and excitedly complying with your carnal demands of them as choice-less pawns in the matter, and then rather manipulatively persuaded in the interim by you that what they’re carnally doing isn’t only normal procedure but furthermore is correspondingly for them a profoundly innate and compelling desire that is both intuitively and earnestly coming from within them.

 So accordingly driven by such irresistible craving and indomitable circumstances then, the only practicable, sensible and logical response expected from them is not to gratuitously resist this alluring and discernibly inevitable outcome but instead to firmly and welcomingly readily, spiritedly and gratefully both go along with and completely embrace this arbitrary scenario which you always put to your star-crossed and helpless victims and anticipatorily expect to superciliously from your obviously assumed position of total power and influence over them, get away with whatever it is that you’re currently doing.

 An absolute and uncompromising hubris on your part that countenances no understanding whatsoever of the verbally expressed, emotionally demonstrated or the intrinsically linked with both of these and consequently the highly unfavourable opinions regarding what you, as these victims undoubted rapist, are coercively and unconscionably doing to them. Incidences that quite evidently don’t matter in the least to you, or would they even when one factors into the other sexual abuses’ equation what you’re equally fond of committing when embarking on your customary unlawful and demonstrably sexually abusive behaviour.

 For in your rather twisted, utterly sickening and entirely narcissistic calculation of this wholly untenable and utterly demeaning situation that you’re always so keen on imposing, and where rampant opportunism coupled supportively with the calculated supposition of your intensely believed in and just as adamantly practised deviant sexual operations are, in essence, as much an integral part of your own sexual exploitations as the customarily prescribed, meticulously devised, established planning and the subsequent utilization of these numerous things that in turn, and commensurate with several other specified and sexual forms of human violation, do expressly as a direct consequence of all this undeniably, unforgettably and quite unforgivably in such circumstances, distinctly set you apart from all normal human beings to suffer forever as what you are  and will always be, a highly unsavoury and a most detestable rapist!

 To start with, and in the process making it abundantly and unequivocally clear, this is no jumping onto any current or other bandwagon on my part regarding the issues of rape, sexual abuse and violence, which I’ve written about in this article and the attendant poem also entitled The Rapist.

 And it has nothing at all to do with either insensitivity or the lack of a caring and empathetic attitude by me. Rather the contrary I would say.
