ok idk if people on here are talking abt this idk if I’ve seen it but one of the funniest/most awkward things about the immediate aftermath of the queen’s death was audiences that night going to see musicals on the west end, specifically Wicked. apparently before the show some official came out and called for a minute or two of silence in honor of the queen. makes sense. silence concludes, lights come down, show begins. the overture begins very loudly with dramatic and fast-moving music, moves to a slower section, and at around the minute mark, becomes a very brassy, loud, cantankerous kind of aggressive melody. and then, after a minute of silence and a minute of overture, the audience is greeted with the first words of this musical, the words that have started the musical every night since 2003, now being sung loud and proud in london on September 8th, 2022:
“Good news! She’s dead!”

pouring one out for jackie taylor tonight. these first two seasons, it has been her that moved the story along. they would have never made it to nationals or gotten on that plane without her scoring that goal in s1, her death started the cannibalism in s2. hard to see how that trend can continue in s3 now that she’s super mega dead. she’ll continue to haunt the narrative, but we’re officially at the end of a girlfail era 😔✊

As you might imagine I finished Gideon the Ninth strongly motivated to read Harrow the Ninth immediately, and so I pretty much didn't stop listening to it non-stop until I'd gotten about halfway through and was suddenly struck with an overpowering impulse not to start the next chapter. I've forgotten what, exactly, happened but I'm sure Harrow had just spent a(nother) chapter suffering on the Mithraeum.
I was super confused, because I'd loved Gideon the Ninth so much, and now I was dreading starting the next chapter of Harrow the Ninth? So I sat down and really thought about it. Why did I suddenly seem to hate this thing I love?
My immediate, emotional response was basically "Well obviously Ms. Muir has lost the plot. She had a cool idea that managed to become Gideon the Ninth and now she's disappeared up her own asshole trying some avant-garde experiment in Harrow the Ninth because she thinks she's clever and is trying to outdo her previous work."
This is obviously incredibly, embarrassingly stupid, in hindsight.
But next, as I was interrogating my own feelings, I asked myself "but what if the same Tamsyn who wrote Gideon the Ninth also wrote this? (A shocking revelation, I'm sure.) What if this is just as cleverly crafted and wonderfully written? Why would I hate it then? Is it the second person perspective? (No? Maybe a tiny bit, but not really.)"
(At this point i also asked myself "Given this incredibly obvious assumption that Ms. Muir remains a genius writer, why would she choose to write these parts in second person?" and realised immediately that Gideon was narrating from inside Harrow's mind. This, I am sure, greatly helped me enjoy the rest of the book, because it made me feel clever and my biggest flaw is without a doubt how much I need to feel like I'm smart[er than everybody else], but that's neither here nor there.)
Essentially what I'm saying is it took me barely ten hours before I hated how trapped I felt being stuck on the Mithraeum.
IMAGINE TEN THOUSAND YEARS OF THIS SHIT.
Also shout out to Tamsyn Muir, so effortlessly evocative a writer that I didn't even notice how strongly and completely she was making me empathise with Harrowhark and her situation. I don't think I've ever connected with a character so profoundly, so deeply and so unconsciously before. I wanted out so viscerally I had to stop reading for a hot minute and remember that I'm not actually trapped on the Mithraeum, this is a book that I'm reading.

Reading Outbound Flight right after Lesser Evil is such a uniquely painful experience, because up to the last moments Thrass is safe. He is fine. There is no way for him to be in danger. And then he is. Just simple miscommunication, and he is gone. He is gone and in that same moment his brother is certain all has worked out fine, so blissfully unaware that he has died for a people that was no his, only distantly for the safety of the Ascendancy and more so for that of misguided group of republic citizens that should have never made it out alive...
