Every time Ianthe thinks Harrow might kick it for good or that everyone's gonna die, including the very last scene in the series so far), Ianthe decides to actually shoot her shot. It's incredible.

drew 6 pages of ianthe getting rejected because i am sane

(ignore the inconsistencies this took way too long ! i've been working on this since last year)

Harrowhark Nonagesimus had always so badly wanted to live. She had cost too much to die.

Muir wanted to reference the Harrowing of Hell, but beyond that it's just such a Gormenghastian name, so purely goth and onerous it becomes just funny.

Something that i've been biting my tongue about since literally page 11 of Gideon the Ninth, but that never fails to make me giggle whenever i pick it back up:

Harrowhark's name being, essentially, Behold: the horrors.

Harrow: to cause distress

Hark: listen or attention

Pelleamena and Priamhark really sat down and named their hard-won genocidal spawn Behold The Horrors and nothing could possibly be more on brand for this book or really the ninth house as a whole

I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about this, but I have thoughts about Immaculate conception and how that related to The Locked Tomb

So in catholic tradition, the immaculate conception is very different from the miraculous conception. The immaculate conception is the Virgin Mary’s conception as a being free from sin, verses Jesus’s miraculous conception as a virgin birth.

Now clearly, Gideon is our Jesus analogue, and her conception was a miracle. She was conceived to be a bomb and wasn’t meant to survive past infancy. She was meant to be conceived through Mercy’s eggs fertilized through Jod’s DNA, but all of that failed. Gideon wasn’t supposed to happen.

Now I’m my opinion, we see the immaculate conception in two different places. We see it in Wake, our Virgin Mary analogue, who is not House and thus was born without necromancy, ie “free from sin.” But I also believed we see it in Harrow, as a corruption of the immaculate conception. Rather than being born free from sin, she is a war crime. She is an incredibly powerful necromancer and is practically sin incarnate in her conception, as she was made though the death of 200 innocent children. As such, one could make an argument that she is a reverse mother in an inverted Holy Trinity, with Jod as God and Alecto as the Holy Spirit.

Personally, I still see Harrow more as an analogue for Mary Magdalena. However, we can’t just ignore her immaculate conception either. She has a bit of both Mary’s in her.

I REALLY like depictions of Harrowhark where she's dressed with big, proper dresses on official duty. Because that kind of hyper-femininity (even with the death metal makeup) is not very her (she's really not very feminine at all) but she does very much want to perform the role of Reverend Daughter and takes pride in it. She's got a worksona for most of her life as a public figure, and then she's her natural gremlinsona when she's alone with a couple tomes and Crux.

It was very fun to let out my inner history nerd and get lost in researching historical clothing as inspiration; I especially referenced napoleonic military uniforms, and 1860s Victorian dresses (of course combined with a lot of other finery and flourishes) and I’m quite happy with the result :)

Hi Tumblr! It’s been [redacted] years that I haven’t posted something, which is rather silly actually. Fixing that.

Anyway, here’s Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series! :) Enjoy!
