For the first time, she smiled—a small, dusty, crooked smile that was totally alien to Cytherea's mouth, which had smiled at me often but never like that. It was the smile for your old cellmate who'd just landed back in prison, the one that told them at least you were in it together—or more correctly, the smile of someone stepping 𝘰𝘶𝘵 of jail after serving a very long sentence, having seen someone there waiting for her. Someone whose presence meant total reprieve, someone she hadn't expected. It was a little bit mocking. It was deepy relieved. It was a smile that said: 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦?

—Wake, in Harrow the Ninth

I need y'all to know that the very moment I read this paragraph, I thought of Tía Dalma's smile (from Pirates of the Caribbean):

Guys my nativity scene looks a little weird

[the-velvet-worm]

has anyone in this fandom ever acknowledged the fact that harrow believes with 1000000% certainty that she was able to unlock the tomb because she's a Super Special Magical Girl (she is, not the point) and has no idea that it's only because she had gideon's blood/skin under her nails when she opened it

like what the fuck is learning this going to do to her chopped up little brain. it's going to destroy her. it's going to completely ruin her sense of self. the only reason she kept LIVING was because she was able to open the tomb and look upon the girl inside it. and to learn that it's NOT because she's The Necromancer Divine, that it's actually her life-long feud with gideon that allowed it to happen? that gideon is the biological child of the Emperor Undying? never mind all the other information we learn at the end of HtN while harrow is fighting gideon's bio mother in the river (she also doesn't even know that wake gave birth to gideon lol)

anyway I think harrow is going to feel very normal about all of this (she's absolutely not)

Honestly, I never assumed she knew it was Pyrrha—I assumed she would be glad regardless of which one it was. But now that I think about it… when Harrow thought she saw the (“legendarily unamorous”) Saint of Duty with Cytherea's corpse, that was probably Pyrrha, right? And when Wake tried to kill G1deon/Pyrrha in the incinerator, did she want revenge against both of them? It's very likely that it was Pyrrha seeking Cytherea's body again.

I have a question. Wake felt relieved when she saw G1deon walk into the cluster fuck that was the big Revelation at the end of HTN. But did she know it was Pyrrha?

She could have. Out of everyone in the room, she was the one who knew G1deon and Pyrrha the best. Did she know that it was Pyrrha walking up to her, the way she moved and had her eyes covered, and she could trust her love to do the right thing and blow her brains out. Something that G1deon would not have done had John ordered.

Kinda fucked that Wake had a baby for the sole purpose of killing it to cause an apocalypse but that baby turned out to look almost exactly like her and from a lot of accounts have a personality similar to her.

Gideon is her mother’s daughter even if all her mom wanted was a bomb. That’s so fucked.

[civetside]

they say she was pushed out of the airlock but i know what really happened

[procrastinationaccount]

Actually fucking crazy how Pyrrha had to feel her partner of over 10,000 years die, wake up alone in his body, square her shoulders and pretend to be him (not even for the last time), and then find the current most important person in the world to her, a woman who she'd only recently learned had not been killed in a way that mattered, and shoot her in the head.

Hello TLT fandom

i am *checks notes* contributing

SO I DID THE IMPLANTATION MYSELF YOU SELF-SERVING ZOMBIE

[beguilingcorpse]

btw it is SO funny to me that harrow the ninth sets up the question of gideon's parentage by obscuring g1deon's name through most of the book. and if you're able to piece any of it together early you're like hang on..... a lyctor named gideon.... who MUST have known commander wake...... biblically, dare i say........ and he's a ginger......... and then the actual reveal happens and it's like oh actually that's all unrelated. yeah wake did have a torrid affair with two people in the same body but that's not relevant to her pregnancy. you see actually there was a nefarious threesome and they stole god's sperm so wake could self-inseminate. yeah g1deon kind of just happened to be there. sorry
