I finally read the book.

no one does miscommunication like griddlehark. they're so bad at it that they don't even do the communication part. they just do utterly insane things out of love for each other and then each one interprets the actions of the other in the wrong fucking way

Wanted to do some fabric studies and I thought to myself, hey let’s make this into fan content

[saiintofawe]

i am actually becoming so fucking obsessed with gideon and harrowhark rn. they are soulmates. they are each other's curse. they hurt each other like no one else does. they cannot live without each other. they would do anything for each other. everything they do to protect the other ends up causing more harm than anything. they cannot bear the thought of a life without the other in it. they are so selfish about one another. they only care for the other. they're orpheus and eurydice. they're even more tragic than them. they're dykes

[the-velvet-worm]

actually one of the craziest things about harrow and gideon's relationship is the fact that they're like, unhealthily obsessed with each other but also both think the other does not care as much as they do. gideon literally died for harrow and thinks that harrow hates her so much that she erased her from her memory. harrow lobotomized herself because she couldn't allow herself to destroy gideon's soul. and they're both still just like, "she could never love me." ARE YOU BOTH FUCKING STUPID??????? (the answer is yes)

[hugs4harrow]

very much needed hug initiated by harrow

something i desperately need in alecto the ninth is for harrow to be chasing after gideon. like, one of the most heartbreaking aspects of their relationship is that gideon genuinely believes that harrow can never be as devoted to her as she is to harrow. like, she SAYS as much to ianthe at the end of htn (and meanwhile, harrow is standing in a crumbling mansion clinging to the memory of gideon for everything she’s worth, turning herself into gideon’s mausoleum, but gideon has no way of knowing that).

gideon needs to be wanted. she manifests that in her desire to join the cohort, and it is most obvious in the way she emotionally latches onto the idea of her mother, an idea that is violently destroyed when she finds out that her mother never wanted her either. that’s why she’s the saddest girl in the world, as nona says - she might be the prince of the empire, but she isn’t wanted. ianthe is more devoted to harrow. the emperor is grieving his original lyctors. harrow is still obsessed with the idea of the body in the tomb. pyrrha found nona to love instead. hell, even aiglamene kept herself at arm’s length throughout gideon’s life. gideon really, really doesn’t think that she is loved at all.

all of this is to say I need it to not be gideon running after harrow in the last book. I need harrow to be the one showing gideon how much she cares. that gideon’s sacrifice tore her apart, that she’ll willingly burn everything to get gideon back. let harrow be the devoted one.
