#The Judith quote is so fascinating like he's literally your boss. He speechifies about how he loves you and hallows your very bones wym

Thank you so much for the tag!

Favorite houses: I love the Fifth so much honestly! Love that there's a society with dance cards and dad jokes and overly flowery poetry out there, and I'd love to hear more about how gas giants work. And the juxtapostition of how cozy everything seems there with their tradition of speaking to ghost (and possible expansionist ambitions - appendix to the Fifth moment). Second places are hard to pick - probably the Sixth and the Ninth lol. They're on the verge of destruction <3

Favorite book: Harrow the Ninth my beloved! This applies universally, not just within the series.

Four favorites: Gideon, Harrow, Camilla, Palamedes. They're just so!!!

Favorite ship: I'm always griddling my hark

Favorite scene: I'm going to say the scene where Harrow rescues Pyrrha from the incinerator. I love how visceral the action feels, how impressed and exasperated Gideon obviously is with her efforts, the 'weeny construct' callback, the little passage where she points out all the reasons why it would be easier to let G1deon die and later her little moments of solidarity with both of them (Pyrrha telling her how to ward them out, "I sometimes...forget") - it's perfection, I think it's underrated.

Another favorite scene: Harrow's 1 1/2 chapters after expelling Wake, maybe. Specifically everything she says about Gideon, obviously, and her conversation with the Fifth. If I was making a list of scenes that I need to see fully animated, her popping the bubble and entering the coffin would top it. "No. I'm getting out of here." GETS ME EVERY FUCKING TIME

Favorite quote: Don't make me choose! To avoid retreading ground, I'll go with "I haven't thanked God enough over my life. It always seemed incredibly sentimental. And I didn't wish to presuppose his interest." I love AYU for Jodybeth and the Cam moments and the Marta lore but this is hands down my favorite part. Babygirl I want to study you.

Fav ATN theory: Payoff for the "Harrowing of Hell" reference - Harrow empties the River of the souls in some way, probably to let them have at John and possibly resulting in necromancy disappearing. Generally I just want it to end with Gideon and Harrow alive and not in any positions of power because they need a break. (Also I really want it to turn out that Cam gave Kiriona her sunglasses back - she's still wearing them when they get in the truck but Paul is never described as wearing them.)

If you want: @lady-harrowhark @nooomagnus @vampiringg @ferrn-draws @jctko @desperatelyindenial @frost0wl @loth-catgirl @4phr0d17e @jbm04 @pooltruther @dreams-of-moonbeams @rhatbog @someabsolutenonsense @/anyone

While we're waiting for Alecto to come out, I thought we could have some fun in the tlt fandom :)

I'm not sure if anyone's done this before, but I haven't seen any so I thought I'd make a tag game. just for funsies.

there's absolutely no pressure to tag or to even play, I just wanted to compile all my favorite parts of the series and I thought it'd be fun to share! so without further ado...
