Jod has done a lot of shitty, terrible things (e.g., starting a nuclear apocalypse, stuffing the soul of earth into a Barbie, putting said Barbie on ice for thousands of years). But for me personally? I will never forgive him for this:

You said, "Lord, I am hunted. I perish."

"Harrow-"

"I don't come to you as Harrowhark the First, your mouth said. "I come to you as a supplicant. I can't live like this. Lord, do I displease you, that you shield him and not me? I understand that I am a sharpened twig beside your keenest sword, but why do you suffer this twig to live? I can't live this way. I cannot live this way. I have nowhere to go. I have nobody to turn to. I am a nonsense."

You looked at each other down that long, bloody table.

God said, "Harrowhark, when was the last time you slept?"

Harrow is begging - literally begging - him for help (which I think we all know is not easy for her). And his response is “when was the last time you slept?” ?!?!? I’d strangle him with my bare hands if I could.

And of course this is before getting into the fact that he’s having her hunted in the first place.

its hard to sell people on the complexity of the locked tomb bc at its core its a fantasy story with catholic symbolism, but also there’s a character whose name is the length of a fall out boy song title. but it works

gideon’s commentary when harrow kisses ianthe at the beginning of htn will never not be the best thing ever to me i’m sorry this shit has me giggling and kicking my feet every rr like

“You leant down and —holy shit— kissed her squarely on the mouth. This, at least, she hadn’t expected —how could she, what the fuck— and her mouth froze against yours, which gave you time to work.”

and additionally

“When you pressed the tip of your tongue to her tongue she made a small, tight, half-wounded sound —she was probably trying to call for help— but although the lingual muscle was not your area of specialty, you could probe through flesh the signs that her foramen bone was whole, unscarred by a fresh rip of the tongue from the mouth.”

fucking hilarious to me i’m sorry gideon ianthe wants her Bad

I’m starting my TLT reread tonight!

I’ll be attempting to read a chapter a night and I’ll be annotating my books. I haven’t read the physical books yet (I read them on my phone and/or listened to the audiobook) so I’m hoping I’ll pick up more format details this time.

I’ll post a lot of my thoughts here, but I’ll also be pretty active in the reread server.

Reading Gideon the Ninth before Harrow the Ninth: Gideon doesn’t really think Harrow would feed her bonemeal and punch out of her stomach.. Reading Gideon the Ninth after Harrow the Ninth: Gideon has no idea how right she actually is.

Locked Tomb Reread Status Update

Finished Harrow the Ninth (again). (Finally.) (I've been hella busy.)

I think I have to infopost about all my theories when I'm done because okay--

Okay:

For GtN, I took 17 pages of notes

"As Yet Unsent" was 3 pages of notes

I skipped ahead to reread the "Book of John" parts of Nona before HtN (to have fresh context for that bastard man and his slimy lies) and took about 9 pages of notes.

I HAVE 42 FULL PAGES OF NOTES FOR HARROW THE NINTH

anyway, as per my aside on Harrow Notes p35, "I'M 10 x 10^37 % NORMAL" about this series

#the locked tomb #tlt reread #tlt #normal shit #i'm normal

[cormorantgospel]

I know we have all been reminiscing incessantly about the soup scene for like 2 years but I had genuinely forgotten that the whole soup process begins with jod begging harrow to "do something normal"

#which he says in response to harrow telling him that gideon prime is making out with cythereas corpse #tlt reread #tlt #htn

[notedchampagne]

dont forget: palamedes invented the pulmonary drain for dulcinea when he was 15 (htn 199). dont forget he loved her to the point of creation

Rereading Harrow the Ninth and you guys I’m screaming:

I literally said “the fuck?!” out loud and had to pause the audiobook to process that for a minute. I love these books.

Gideon the Ninth, chapter 12:

"This had all played out in Gideon's imagination on many solitary nights, and often she had indulged in a wilder flight of fancy where Harrowhark would open an envelope galaxies and galaxies away, and read the news that Gideon Nav had won a bunch of medals and a huge percentage of prize money for her role in the initial strike, a battle in which she was both outstanding and very hot. Harrow's lip would curl, and she would drawl something like, Turns out Griddle could swing a sword after all. This fantasy often got her through a hundred reps."

We always talk about Harrowhark's AUs, but let's not forget that Gideon was the first to mentally fanfic herself
