(description under the cut)

[A four panel comic that takes place in a coffee shop. Harrow is a customer and Gideon and Camilla are baristas. Panel 1: Gideon hands Harrow a paper coffee cup and says, “Black coffee for Ha-- hey! Your earrings are really cute!”

Panel 2: Harrow has numerous piercings in her ears, left eyebrow, and lower lip. But the large, dangling skeletons that hang from her lobes are the most notable. She is flustered and says, “Oh! Well, you know what they say...” Gideon smiles politely.

Panel 3: The background is dark and Harrow’s face is half hidden in dramatic shadow. She says, “THERE IS A SKELETON IN EVERYONE, JUST WAITING TO COME OUT.”

Panel 4: Harrow walks away from the service counter, looking forlornly at the cup in her hands as she wonders, “Why did I buy this?” Gideon leans on the counter, watching her go, and Camilla leans on Gideon. Camilla asks, “Did that goth kid just threaten you?” Gideon smiles and says, “Yep!”]

Realistically speaking, I don't think black coffee would kill Harrow. She drinks wine more than once, and I think it's even specified once that it's red; the more tannin rich and strongly flavored of the wines. Evidence suggests that, while she would in no way enjoy it, she could theoretically survive a cup of black coffee.

Therefore the question becomes: Would she? What would she do if she had to choose between keeping her tastebuds or impressing a hot barista? Could lean taut muscle dewy with sweat and steam compel her to do what God could not—finish a hot beverage?

Y'all I think that Tasmyn Muir wants people to write Harrow Nova AU fanfiction. Explicit PWP fanfiction specifically. I feel like it brings her great joy to enable that.

something really interesting i noticed the fandom do from time to time is forget that the harrowhark brain aus are made by harrowhark, and not an objectively accurate alternate universe. i dont mean that theyre incorrect but the universes themselves reveal a lot about harrows perception of an idealized romance:

harrow nova puts gideon in a position where she clearly has the upper hand being the rev daughter, but harrow still places herself in a position where she is not only intent on serving her as a cav but more importantly feeling like she is indebted to her

royal highness/bachelorette pictures gideon as someone revered and out of reach (her heart was beating so hard; she did not know why she was afraid), and in the setting its implied that harrow has to compete for / earn her, even if she refuses to participate.

and BARIstar is an obvious meetcute where even in a universe where they had never known each other prior, harrow still meets gideon and is charmed by her on sight.

like it drives me off a cliff that 1) harrowhark is a heartrotting romantic; she really and truly believes that she cant live in a universe without gideon, and in ADDITION she will make it so that harrow will find gideon anywhere because having a universe with her in it isnt enough - she needs to fucking revolve around her

and yet 2) harrowhark idolizes an image of gideon: they hated each other to full comprehension of the other on the ninth but they never even considered each other friends until canaan. harrow knows how gideon works, but she doesnt know her as well as friend and as a person. the harrow nova au portrays gideon as someone generous and something harrow has to prove herself to & to make up her existence for. the royal highness au doesnt even show gideon at all, but in the same work as nova harrows placed her in a position of higher power like a subversion of their dynamic on the ninth. the BARIstar au hides gideons rank but harrow is caught up in her image anyway. she is completely infatuated with gideon but sees her as an act to be redeemed by before seeing her as a person and its KILLING me. its Killing me. did you know gideons megadead? did you know kiriona now holds that subversion of power over harrow that she had dreamed up in her own mind?? did you know that harrowhark "CATHOLICISM" nonagesimus has confessed her crimes in the saltwater and instead of being rebuked by it like she wanted, gideon fucking forgave her?? im sick in the head this post was just supposed to be about how funny it is that harrow likes gideon so bad. shes infatuated ohhh shes so down bad. did you know rivers are freshwater??

listen i had to let y’all know i was talking about coffee (irl) not coffee from the HLU (harrowhark lobotomy universe)

my impulse control needs work. i thought to myself “hmm i wonder if this lid is leakproof” and immediately flipped my cup upside down because my brain needed the result immediately for some reason

my shoes are now covered in hot coffee.

Ok, so I need to know something about the BARIstar AU, Tamsyn.

In all the other AUs, Ortus, Abigail, and Magnus turn up in thematically appropriate roles and costumes.

But there's no detail about them in the BARIstar AU. From the way the conceit is described, they must have all been there, but I need to know if by that point Harrow was just so laser focused on Gideon that she sort of forgot to include them in the story and they were just standing there bemused in their civvies? Or did they have roles we're not party to? Was Ortus wearily manning the blender behind the coffee bar? Did Abigail suddenly find herself incongruously an admiral?

[jbm04]

I stand by a statement I wrote long ago that every conceivable river bubble AU that Harrow had would have ended in a conflict where Gideon would die for her.

There are some things you can't change. Harrow can't change whose grief it is that she is feeling. And that small shard of Gideon that is with Harrow always can't stop saving her at any cost. Reverend daughter Gideon? Probably dies for Harrow Nova in the fight against Cytherea at Canaan. 100%. Harrowhark, who would never seek to compete for her divine highness' hand with her face, would live only because her Divine Highness would die to protect her. Probably Cytherea related. And Gideon Nav, most skilled baristar of the cohort, would die to save Lieutenant Harrowhark.

WIP for #TLTStayMAP 👀

Video description: Harrowhark Nonagesimus dressed as a Cohort soldier rolls her eyes and walks up to the BARI coffee counter. She looks up as a coffee cup is handed to her from out of frame. Harrow's hand and the BARIstar's hand collide , making the cup jiggle and some coffee spill out the top. Harrow glances up at the BARIstar and the camera cuts to a close up of Harrow's eyes as they widen in surprise.

"Harrowhark found herself at the front of the queue beyond which this BARI star apparent waited; and she found herself looking down at the counter, her tongue tied. “Let me guess,” said a voice. “You take it black.” She reached out for the cup. The server pushed it toward her in the same instant—their fingers brushed awkwardly in the act of transmission, and in a mummified moment of time, they looked at each other."

Excited for this to be out, but it's still definitely a WIP!! It's really cool to work with other artists on a larger project, and we're all excited for everyone to see it in full! This will be my first foray into this type of work, so hopefully it goes well!

I'm working on my animations and maybe one day I'll be as great as Spencer Wan but one can only dream.

I have a full design for Harrow's cohort outfit based on the descriptors we're given from her cohort!au chapter, but it's not exactly the same. (Also colors are a struggle.) So let me know if that's wanted and it may come out after the full project for the MAP has posted :)

[mayasaura]

One of my biggest hopes for Alecto is that Harrow has a minute of going full Carrie revenge insane upon finding out what they did to Gideon’s body. Like. Throughout Canaan House and especially in the AUs, we get the sense of Harrow having a deep desire to protect Gideon’s body even if it is in her own solitary goth nun way. She wants Gideon to put more consideration into the danger of avulsion before agreeing. She tells her afterward not to price her life so cheaply. She makes Cam and Pal check on her multiple times. She leaves her bread in a drawer. She’s fully on board to throw Camilla towards possible death in the interest of keeping Gideon safe. And then when she finally sees her in the coffee AU her description is just so soft and loving even when she’s about to pass out because she saw her arms, and continues that way until the end of the book. When Ianthe thinks it’s Harrow in Nona she’s surprised she isn’t violently storming the compound to recover Gideon’s body. Anyway she should find out how BOE and Jod treated her body and go on a tiny insane revenge spree. As a treat.

You are SO fucking right. Deep down inside Harrow is that one gif of the girl holding puppies and crying because she can't protect them, only the puppies are a butch lesbian determined to throw herself into a meat grinder.

I think Harrow might be a little grateful for the unbreakable bones and indestructable skin part of Jod's deal re: Gideon—she may have done that herself in Canaan House, if she'd known how—but the rest of it? The gaping wounds, the leaving her dead? Kill Bill sirens. She has been trying so hard to protect and preserve Gideon, to give Gideon a life, and when Gideon's own father has the chance to restore her he just slaps her together with crazy glue and calls it fine? That is not fine.

If she ever finds out how Gideon's corpse was being treated while her murderer lay in state on a bed of flowers... Man, I would not want to be in the room where that happened.

It would be so cathartic to see her tear into John over his part of it. Gideon already went apeshit on him for how he treated Harrow, so it's only fair Harrow gets to have her go. It's equality!! If We Suffer could somehow be there to be held accountable, too, so much the better.

And after that, what I really really want to see is Harrow turning the soft and loving vibe from the Baristar AU on the real Gideon, and channeling that protective fury toward protecting or restoring Gideon. I know it's probably not going to be exactly how it happens, what with everything else going on, but that sleeping beauty fakeout has me hungry to see Harrow try to ride in and rescue her prince.

In abscence of her body, Harrow's soul dreamed of Gideon's eyes; and in abscence of her soul, Harrow's body dreamed of Gideon's hands. If we don't get to see some pay off when she has those hands to hold again, I'm gonna have to chew my own fucking leg off.

(from) ― the hella sweet munday meme // @104thsquadfam

☢ What calms you down after negativity?

tbh i usually just vent out loud like im giving a ted talk  or put some music on and angry-dance lmfao 

☠ What keeps you happy?

fucking off by myself to spend the night/weekend in a 5* hotel just because i felt like it and i can. also being home by myself minding my business and engaging in my silly little hobbies.

☀ What’s the best thing about roleplaying?

god, i’m just a sucker for the collaboration aspect of it. i love developing and exploring characters and plots and scenarios to damn exhaustion, but i HATE doing it alone. everyone keeps telling me i should write books and short stories and whatever but that’s not fun for me. i’ve tried but it’s not fun. i love the collaborative aspect - i love the brainstorming, and figuring things out, and fleshing out characters and plots with someone else. and  i love how it can both be a complex creative exercise OR just dumb-fun. 

⚡ What are the good sides with duplicates?

like, writing with different people who write the same character? learning about how people interpret characters is something i love: i love reading their thought process, hcs, ideas, etc. to me ( unless i find someone who writes a character exactly how i envision them) it goes against my nature to be against duplicates. i’m too damn curious and interested. that said, if i def don’t vibe with a portrayal, i politely bow out and soft-block. 

⛵ What genres do you like writing the most?

tragi-comedy is my home, my love, my everything. that aside. huh. is it dramatic and does it involve heavy character development (be it positive or negative)? i’ll fucking love it. plots where the characters aren’t static and feel real and evolve (positively or negatively) based on their experiences. pyrrhic victories. all things horror. plots based on stories for children but with an added dark twist.  at the same time, i’m v much also a dumb-fun roleplayer. sometimes if me and my writing partners just want to have fun for an hour or so, we  use a random generator to pick characters and a scenario and we write it. i’m currently writing a dumb-fun thread where two broke baristars encounter a talking lizard who claims to be from another planet lol

Am I the only one who has a problem with Beemoov MCs? Candy looked toooo basic and this new one looks like she was made from random gacha items. I get it, it fits because their looks are basically place holders, but come on. And the Baristar outfit looks so bad. The special outfits were kind of a miss when it was High School life but they had gotten better with Love Life (skipping University because I took a break during that and missed any and all events) that I thought it was going to stay like that. The goose is absolutely adorable though, I give them that.
