If Cam kept Gideon’s swords

(I feel we don’t talk enough about how she loved Gideon and how hard it must’ve been for her)

Long time no see! The wonderful @incorrect-house-of-nine commissioned me for some Locked Tomb arts! (Please don't post elsewhere!)

do you think they explored each others bones

[enjistier]

Dr. Hect and Nurse Sextus ;P

Camilla Hect as “played by” Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat. Both Gideon the Ninth and Nona the Ninth versions.

Inspired by this post of @logicbutton’s

Locked tomb hot takes:

Insisting that the birth of Paul is only a tragedy because of the uneven power dynamics between Palamedes and Camilla as Necro and Cav invalidates Camillas autonomy and undermines her as a character capable of making her own decisions. It also undermines Palamedes constantly checking for consent. He understands more than most that there is an uneven power dynamic and actively works to respect her autonomy as much as he can while also respecting their bond/positions as necro and cav.

In a world where those who identify as men have no natural power over those who identify as women or neither, we can not apply the same cisheteronormative expectations of male behavior to male characters.

Camilla made every. Single. Choice. Willingly. She had reasons for it, and Palamedes respected that more than readers seem to. We get plenty of examples.

"What would you do if you discovered Camilla was a murderer?”

“Help her bury the body,” said Palamedes promptly.

“Sextus.”

“I mean it. If Camilla wants someone dead,” he said, ���then far be it from me to stand in her way. All I can do at that point is watch the bloodshed and look for a mop. One flesh, one end, and all that.”

GtN chapter 30

NtN chapter 17

The relationship between these two may be codependent, but it's predicated on trust and consent. The whole way through. This is the life Cam wants to live. Becoming Paul was what *she wanted*. Grieving Palamedes and Camilla is natural of course, but I find it strange that some people think they know what's best for her more than she does, just because she's a cavalier.

shortass

[cutetanuki-chan]

not the quite exact scene as in the book but Gideon realizing what she has to do while bone shield cracking up

[ooctlt]

I mean, going to some guy's house in the dead of night and getting paid in crisp bills? Isn't it obvious what Harrow's job is? She's babysitting. I'm sure weird guy has some adorable boogey nosed brats hiding in the back

perhaps you confused her with another person

[theriverbeyond]

important fact to ME is that on the Sixth House, canonically the Niereds' (the sex troops) final exam was memorizing erotic poetry. the Sixth House own prime directive is making sure all their citizens are as attractive and fuckable and erotically capable as possible at all times. and they're institutionally encouraged to be nerds. and when Palamedes was bored in the River bubble and only had one terrible book to read, he spent 8 months writing fix-it fanfiction on the walls.

what i'm saying is that birthday cake erotica would have been GOOD.
