I gave my body and my voice But do you think I had a choice?

audio is 'The Star Song' by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley

gideon is terrified of losing harrow's interest. gideon currently thinks harrow is incapable of loving her. harrow doesn't hate gideon. harrow will tell gideon she doesn't hate her. the real question is how many agonising pages will it take for gideon to find out this doesn't mean harrow feels nothing for her at all.

what if good luck babe chappell roan but it's griddlehark in harrow the ninth with harrow deleting her memories of gideon and gideon is singing about how harrow can't forget about her forever

i finished harrow the ninth last night and i think i understood about 75% of what happened which might not seem like a lot but judging from other posts ive read about the book that’s actually a pretty good score

I’m thinking about Modern!AUs in fanfiction and why sometimes they’re some of my favorite fics and also sometimes the Worst™️. (<-that is a joke. There is no such thing as bad fanfiction, just fanfiction I don’t personally like.)

Because I LOVE Modern!AUs that ask interesting questions about how the setting of a story impacts the characters—how much of the setting can you remove while still being able to recognize the characters in question? All of it? None of it? What new problems would living in a world with planes and phones create for these characters? How are the social and political tensions of the original canon reflected in our own world?

The “problem” (again, not an actual problem, just a personal preference) is that most Modern!AUs COMPLETELY refuse to engage with any of that. They instead become a stale rehashing of the original canon except with lower stakes. Nothing about the modern setting adds interest, and everything interesting from the original setting falls away.

I think that a lot of people write Modern!AU fics to deescalate the conflict of the original canon and give the characters more relatable problems, which isn’t universally terrible, but it can so easily become boring. I don’t WANT to know what it would be like if one of these characters was a florist and the other was a tattoo artist; I want to know what would happen if you gave one of them a gun.

there are a lot of moments like these in the book but i can't stop thinking about the feeling of seeing colum the eighth, dressed in all white, saying "come and see"

[cutetanuki-chan]

this makes me wonder if Cytherea making stuff up here or actually telling some of the truth

she was the last one to join the Canaan house, so the Ninth house could've been already up and running for years when she was little

that means the whole Ninth aesthetic and the face paint could've originated pretty early

[wings-of-flying]

this'll be as well as legends & lattes

CALL ME MONARCH OF FFXIV FOR I HAVE DEFEATED THE GREAT EVIL.

[jarlskona-evilyoyo]

Ok but the events of Canaan made it hard for Gideon or anyone besides Cytherea to realize that she is very hard to kill but an AU where they are there for a while would be hilarious.

Gideon doesn’t know what should kill people. What do you mean getting your soul sucked out of your body kills people? A sword to the gut is nothing she’ll be fine in a week. She has a argument with Harrow so she sleeps outside, it’s fine, she went a few days without heating back home.

Like I want to see the looks of horror on Abigail and Magnus’s faces when Gideon is like ‘if we’re stuck here without food I can not eat for like…two weeks without blacking out. It’s cool.’
