I really wish people didn’t see “empire” and immediately add “fascist” to it. Like those are real but just being an empire involves killing people and bloody conquest and all kinds of political maneuvering and oppression without the specific ideology that is fascism. An empire doesn’t have to be fascist to be a priori terrible.

#this is a locked tomb post #this is perhaps influenced by the last three months i spent listening to tides of history #and reading about the evolution of states and empires in the bronze age #but also—it just feels historically blinkered to focus on fascism when being an empire is bad enough in its own

It's criminal that Gideon Nav was so clearly born to be a professional wrestler and is forced to be a sad corpse girl instead. She's meant to be a gleeful heel! Her natural habitat is performing in front of a crowd by pinning women to the mat in suggestive poses! She goes right into kayfabe in GtN and stays in it like a pro! That girl should be posting gym locker room thirst traps for the insta lesbians and she's fighting zombies instead, it's an injustice.

something i've been thinking about is pyrrha's herald bullet.

pyrrha has one herald bullet, stolen from wake. and there is a moment where she points it at ianthe and tells her that it isn't meant for her. a real jack sparrow moment. move aside, neither of us wants this particular bullet to end up in you.

and then she uses it anyway. she uses it on ianthe to get past her into the tomb. and i can't stop thinking about that.

it was for john, right? pyrrha had one bullet and she can only have been saving it to, at a crucial moment, incapacitate john.

and pyrrha picked nona. like, yeah, you could argue that opening the tomb is more useful to killing john in the long run, but is it really? that "death of the emperor" stuff is mostly a lie. pyrrha knows that. pyrrha of all people knows it's not as simple as "open the tomb, the emperor dies."

and yet she wastes the bullet on ianthe, with no fanfare. fuck it, fuck john, fuck revenge, fuck any plans she might've had. she's gotta save nona. and if that pasty bitch is gonna stand between her and her nono's best shot at survival, then there's no question about it. no hesitation.

and isn't that what all this is about, in the end? pyrrha - jaded, angry, cynical pyrrha - forfeits personal revenge because nona needs help, and she can't waste time.

i'm having feelings about it.

crucial elements of my vision for a locked tomb animated series:

First season starts with Gideon falling to her death—freeze frame, Gideon voiceover: “Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this fucking mess.”

We rewind all the way to Gideon choking Harrow out as children. Gideon says “Well, now that’s just too far.” The running joke of the season is that this memory REALLY wants to play out, but Gideon refuses to get into it. That way, we get a lot of tension building up to the full scene and, more importantly, the imagery of the blood in Harrow’s nails really sticks with the audience.

Regular jumps between the present day and flashbacks so that they’re baked into the format and the river scenes in HtN don’t feel out of place.

Gideon pauses scenes literally all the time for asides and narration, a la The Emperor’s New Groove. (I feel her voice is crucial to the story and must be preserved as much as possible in a visual adaptation. The goofiness inherent to this device is also, in my opinion, completely necessary.)

When we finally get to the season finale, and Gideon dies, she KEEPS cutting in for asides, except now she’s talking directly to Harrow, who is responding, and it’s not really funny anymore.

the problem with griddlehark is that Gideon desperately wants to be a well used chewtoy but Harrow has carefully put her up on the shelf like she is a limited edition funko pop still in the box

#griddlehark #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #the locked tomb #trb.txt #gideon looks at those barkbox super chewers and says theyre just like me fr #anyway. there is always some bitch in a tomb in these books #have i made this post before probably #in my defense im very eepy

[officialedelgard]

we all know gideon nav has zero game but the thing is harrow thinks she has like god tier rizz. harrow things gideon can get any bitch by just looking at her. harrow does not know gideon’s socially awkward girl w bad jokes swag only works on her
