what i love about the queer women rep in tlt is that so much of it is just like. gideon reading her titty magazines but getting zero action. ianthe trying to kiss harrow and getting rejected. harrow begging a hallucination of a corpse to have sex with her and getting rejected. marta turning down judith, judith turning down corona, corona unsuccessfully flirting with camilla. nona's one-sided attraction to corona and camilla. camilla’s third-wheeling (x3) and plain lack of interest in getting it on with anyone. gideon and ianthe fighting over harrow when they’re both losing out to a frozen ice bimbo. ‘but she never gave you anything. you never got anywhere.’ ‘did you???’ << honestly sums it up.

it will take some time

do you ever think about corona and gideon. how ianthe and harrow respectively refused to consume them. how they took it as a sign of rejection when it was a symbol of love. or are you normal.

the harrow/gideon/ianthe dynamic at the end of harrow the ninth is so funny to me. ianthe thinks shes in a live triangle with harrow and gideon only for gideon to show up and be like WRONG. your competing with ANOTHER dead bitch and we're BOTH losing get over it loser. meanwhile harrow thinks she has two dead wives and a work colleague (they are BARELY even platonic *scoff* <- harrow voice). truly unparalleled

if the world was perfect this would be the endgame

rating ways to advertise the locked tomb

"lesbian necromancers in space": 5/10. technically true, except that gideon isn't a necromancer and for the most part they aren't in space. can also be tonally misleading; implies a fun space opera adventure and fails to mention the impending emotional devastation. that being said it is iconic and (mostly) effective

"murder mystery in a haunted gothic castle": 8/10. MUCH better at capturing the tone and plot of the first book, but still a little off. imagine picking up the book because of this blurb and then watching gideon nav make a mean girls reference in the first 20 pages. the whiplash could kill you

"a locked tomb mystery": 5/10. nondescriptive and a little misleading, but i can't give this any lower than a 5 because the pun is very good. gideon would love this one and that should count for something

"gay goth among us": 10/10. i'm not even going to pretend like this one doesn't nail it. try and argue against this. you can't. captures the murders, the space-y setting, the queer characters, the tone and aesthetic, AND the contemporary humor. chef's kiss

"enemies to lovers 'i hate everyone but you' slow burn": 1/10. true if you squint. the relationship between gideon and harrow would make booktok weep

"catholic homestuck": 9/10. this means nothing and explains everything

[Image ID: A tweet by "tamsyn should be writing" @tazmuir: "sure, I edited from 12 o'clock to 4.30, but how much of that time did I spend on the discovery that the basis of my novel is 'what if these two were... teenage girls'", followed by an image of Skeletor and He-Man. /end ID]

10/10. conveys the pop culture savvy of the series, the complex dynamic between the main characters, and the humor of the writing style all at once. also makes me laugh every time i think about it

Imagine you’re some little evil woman sitting in Hades’ throne room when Orpheus walks in to make a deal to get Eurydice back, and Hades is like “yeah ok, just don’t look back otherwise she has to stay here” then walks out of the room. Almost immediately after hearing the conditions, Orpheus breaks his own neck so that it is physically impossible for him to turn it, and then demands that you gouge out his eyes for good measure. Eurydice then gets really upset because she’s convinced this is a sign that Orpheus hates her and never wants to see her again, and Orpheus is completely convinced that this was a normal and logical thing to do.

You are literally the only person in the universe who recognizes this as an act of love. They both then insult you to your face for thinking this is anything other than very normal (Orpheus), or petty hatred (Eurydice).

You are Ianthe Tridentarius.

Gideon has no game while being the most desirable dyke in the galaxy bc she inherited maximum rizz from her mom & negative rizz from her dad & both cancelled each other out

[kazbrekkerskane]

I’m so tired of every show that takes place in the past (wild west, medieval, pirates etc) ALWAYS having so much sexual violence towards women like writers can cry “oh it’s realism” all you want but it’s very transparent how realism only applies when you want to hurt women on screen. If we’re talking staying realistic, why doesn’t everyone have brown teeth? Or bad skin? Or dying of dysentery? Just admit y'all want an excuse to brutalize women on screen lol

I don’t know if it’s a common saying since I only saw it here, but I saw the words “how you spend your days is how you spend your life” recently and I haven’t stopped thinking about them and they’ve been the most motivating string of words I’ve ever encountered. any time I’ve been doing some dumb shit this past week I hear in my head “how you spend your days is how you spend your life” and I immediately reevaluate. So thank you to whoever wrote that

I won't lie. I fucking hate how the cult of feminity takes spontaneity out of female relationships. I ask my mom if she wants to get sushi. She says yes. I sit on the couch for twenty minutes waiting for her to finish her makeup and hair. I am hungry and do not care and just to spend time with my mom. I ask my sister-in-law if she want to go to pool. She says yes. I sit and wait forty five minutes for her shave her legs. I haven't shaved my legs for over a year and I have just as much fun. Even in emergency situations. When I was in a mental health crisis, I had to wait twenty minutes alone with a campus officer for my cousin to show up because she was doing her makeup. All the women in my life come with a delay. I come to expect the phrase, "Hang on, I just have to-" when I do not care. Is my companionship not enough? Or must you perform for the world as well?
