#Gideon the Ninth Spoilers

[cutetanuki-chan]

imagine after nona Harrow sees Pyrrha and her first train of thought 'Saint of Duty's name is Gideon, Gideon is his daughter, that's why he wanted to kill me'

[cursed-collective]

Hi I'm here to yap again

I love how Harrow was so DEVASTATED over Gideon sacrificing herself for her that the only logical conclusion she could come to was to lobotomise herself. I thought WE were upset over the doomed space lesbians, like bbg...my favourite little warcrime...WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

Obviously she wasn't, but the question still stands!!!

Saw the meme and i just had to do it. Might do a switched version as well since for these idiots it works both ways

i'm begging tumblr users who couldn't name an evil woman to read the locked tomb because in just a short list of the insane amount of characters in these books there is (out of context spoilers ahead)

butch who's never experienced any affection so she becomes willing to do anything to be needed including becoming a fascist regime's specialest little boy

200 dead babies, trying to justify killing 200 babies to make her by brutally suppressing any weakness or vulnerability in herself

the incest twins from every problematic 2000s anime played entirely straight as to how fucked up both of them would be

woman who has a baby for the purpose of bashing its head against a rock and using its blood to kill 9 planets occupied with people

girl who lied to her boybestfriend, who shares her body, about his existence kind of eating her soul so they won't have to be apart

weapon with which to kill 9 planets filled with people, representative of 10 billion dead people and unceasing rage. Who looks like Barbie.

woman who stole g-d's sperm

woman who used her boybestfriend's body to fuck genocidal baby mama without said boybestfriend's knowledge (he was also fucking her)

cancer patient using her make a wish to kill g-d

they say she was pushed out of the airlock but i know what really happened

[sofipitch]

When the Saint of Duty stabs Harrow with his spear, it's in the chest and stomach, approx the same areas where we know Gideon was impaled by the fence. "The spear was removed. You still remembered acutely what that felt like"

I couldn't put it as a thumbnail so here's just Gideon seperatly

this is the dumbest thing ever but I had so much fun with it

[the-velvet-worm]

the love triangle in TLT is so funny because it's not even a true love triangle. it's like a shape that hasn't even been invented yet. first you've got Ianthe, who thinks Harrow is totally into her but isn't. and Harrow is into Gideon but also this really sexy corpse. the sexy corpse was maybe probably in a relationship with Gideon's dad who's also the leader of the solar system. he hooks up with his officers sometimes and has hooked up with his best friends over the last 10,000 years because they were bored. Ianthe also has this weirdly borderline incestuous relationship with Coronabeth but Coronabeth is in love with Judith who had a crush on her now-dead cavalier. the only ones who've got a semi-normal relationship are Camilla and Palamedes and even then they had a weird poly thing with Dulcinea even though they never met her in person. and they have another weird poly thing with Pyrrha but by that point they're sharing a body. then they decide to do a mutual suicide/soul binding ritual and become a whole new person in Camilla's body. also they're second cousins. oh Pyrrha also had a weird poly thing with her necro and Gideon's biomom/the leader of the rebellion who's fighting against Gideon's biodad. I don't even have time to unpack all that and that doesn't even cover half of the shit happening here. there's also the whole Cytherea thing

You are Harrowhark Nonagesimus. You are 17. They just killed your only friend.

Canaan crew appreciation post ^

(All scenes from Reinaeiry's Take Me to Church but it's EPIC video.)

Also, there was a lot of thought put into the details and compositions for this video, and it was like 4 months of my life so I want to talk abt it ! For lack of better place to do so I've dumped everything under the cut again:

Some details/process I personally enjoy:

I used images of pluto as my color scheme for the ninth house:

And last but not least, perhaps one of my favorite details of the whole project...we took inspo from religious and classical imagery for a big handful of the compositions or poses. The art I chose to pair with each scene was very intentional:
