#Giddon

[hatepotion]

ngl i'm not even doing inktober anymore, but here's giddon from graceling <3

[um-garlic-bread-ig]

kasta when po points out all the super obvious signs that giddon is in love with her: Nooooooooo way r u sure i think ur wrong theres no way nopeee he doesn't even like me ur wronggggggggg **plugs her ears and starts humming**

[boogerbrat]

what the hell is wrong with him

[royalberryriku]

Ngl I don't particularly want to get into the animation industry since it looks so stressful and too much for me, but part of me wants to get into it JUST to make animated shows of my favourite books series.

Like, could you imagine this fluid animated battle scene of Xingyin where she's battling demon realm soldiers with the Jade Dragon Bow, stylised sky-fire raining down and using camera angles to accentuate her skill and technique with the bow??? Or a slow motion scene of Lovisa walking through the snow as she wonders what to do about her parents and her growing suspicions?? Katsa moving in the shadows as she works alongside Giddon??

The art direction that could be done for designing the cities and towns?? Like could you imagine Graceling, Winterkeep, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, etc all getting the Castlevania treatment with beautiful art and cinematography??

It'd be so cool...

I heard you’re reading the graceling series? Which one are you on and do you like them? I’m on winterkeep (when I eventually get to it)

Im on winterkeep as well! Tbh im not entirely sure how I feel. They just seem really... long? For not much happening. Bitterblues def been my favorite so far! :)

[allicyndraws-sometimes]

I suppose I should mention that I read Seasparrow and I lost count of how many times I cried. I know I said I’d possibly do fan art after reading Winterkeep, but that was a lie I guess so I won’t make any promises for Seasparrow even though I would really like to do fan art. I just don’t know if I’ll ever get around to it. Let’s get real. 

Anyway. I kinda want to do a reread again.

rereading Graceling and truly Katsa is autistic girl with the power to kill but also that autistic girl’s special interest is Maiming and Killing

he's so grumpy why do you think he's upset? (My brother says that giddon denied him juice)

[boogerbrat]

unfair that Giddon appears in three books of the series because my ranking of love interests is getting more and more biased towards him and it's making the 17 y/o Brigan lover in me very miffed

this is super niche but i just found out there's two new graceling books and that bitterblue and giddon get married in the end you don't understand tween me would be losing it right now

[babbletaels]

I haven't finished the re-read yet but in the beginning of the book it struck me how katsa was portrayed as so incredibly disinterested in everything she "should" be interested in; doesn't care about her clothes, hates her hair, doesn't like baths and doesnt care if she's dirty, doesn't care what her living space looks like but thinks the bathroom is practical, doesn't want to fall in love and marry anyone. It feels like this is how Katsa views herself. I've read this book already so this didn't bother me, but I didn't remember the details in the book but I did think about how limiting it felt, like she was stuck in a world where she was "wrong". But she isn't. As the story progresses Katsa does fall in love (and she could very well marry him without anything changing in their relationship but whatever and I can't remember if they marry or not but I have a hunch) because she finds someone who actually attracts her, we find out more about what she finda visually appealing in her environment like how she likes the forests and mountains, she seems to love baths especially in cold water, she does indeed appreciate being clean, and the problem she had with baths were all related to her hair being hard to take care of, doesn't hate her hair just finds it extremely impractical, and she just doesn't care to wear dresses because she's not interested in those events.

She's portrayed in the beginning as just not caring about things like that. Giddon is very handsome, but Katsa doesn't care about beauty. But she does care because she thinks Po is handsome! Katsa lives in a castle but she doesn't care, she could live in a dirty old hut for all she cares.. except she loves the view from Pos humble castle ?? just cause she doesn't care for the things she grew up with doesn't mean she would never care for any kind of beauty. If she built her own house would she not care? maybe at the beginning of the book. At the end, she would choose a nice location and the decorations that she thinks are nice

She's discovering what she likes instead of being told by others what she should like. Just like all of us do when we turn into adults!

[minnarr]

sometimes i remember bitterblue/giddon is canon and i can't quite believe that's true

[melliflewus]

hava: no one ever brings me food like giddon does for bitterblue. no one cares about me.

giddon: hey hava i brought you chicken pot pie :D

hava:

[longsightmyth]

How do you feel about the whole Gideon x Bitterblue thing going on in Winterkeep? I've been apprehensive to read anything past Bitterblue because of it.

Didn't bother me. It's a few years down the line, Bitterblue has had multiple romantic relationships with other people, is fully capable of existing on her own, and is a beloved queen whose advisors and people are fully capable of and willing to do murder if she's actually hurt.

Like. Halva can and will cut a bitch, and the aforementioned bitch will not see it coming or going.

But mostly it's that Bitterblue clearly has a life outside of Giddon and he's also explicitly made a decision to take a supportive/caring role rather than any kind of authority outside of what Bitterblue gives him, and he's actually shown to be doing that rather than just giving lip service.
