"You sent me out there to kill a baby and open those doors. Whose baby didn’t matter on my end. Do you know, I gave that thing a nickname, my whole pregnancy? I used to call it Bomb.”

Wake: me!

I think I’m burned out on trying to RP with folx on Discord.

Maybe I need to set up my own server. Yet, even when I do, I don’t feel like I’m getting engagement. Honestly, I think I feel more imposter syndrome with ghosted discord threads than ghosted tumblr threads. At least with Tumblr there’s a list of reasons why it didn’t happen.

On discord, I just think I suck and should focus my attention elsewhere. 😞

Kiriona Gaia/Her Divine Highness AU where Gideon escapes from the Ninth to join the Cohort, and gets claimed by John only a year or two before canon.

The lyctor trials happen approximately on schedule, but this time it's a combo event! Who Wants To Be A Lyctor, and The Bachelor Nine Houses: a chance to win the hand of Her Divine Highness Kiriona Gaia, only daughter of the Emperor Undying!

There are two main reasons for The Bachelor competition, one Gideon knows about and the other she doesn't:

One: She's a plant to manipulate the lyctor trials. John's a bit more invested this time around, after the whole baby plot reveal left him bereft and short-handed. He wants Gideon to get to know all of the candidates and report back to him.

Two: John thought it would be funny and is trying (and badly failing) to wingman for his socially awkward daughter.

Gideon is John's plant in the lyctor competition, but the marriage contest is a setup for Gideon. Here you go, kid, your very own fantasy romcom scenario, now will you finally make a move on that girl you're physically incapable of shutting up about?

Kiriona-centric Locked Tomb fics I want to read but not write.

1. The Emperor's Construct

Timeline: post-HTN pre-NTN.

Setting: Antioch.

POV: epistolary fic narrated by the Blood of Eden soldiers unlucky enough to have to fight against Kiriona- unkillable, furious, Saddest Girl In The World Kiriona who spent her whole life dreaming of serving the Cohort on the frontlines. Kiriona, whose incorruptible body was dropped in rivers, left out in the sun, given to the carrion creatures to eat. Kiriona who still looks like her mother, imbued with all the hideous blessings of her father, fucking-out-of-her-mind Ninth House Big Pissed Off. I would kill to read this fic.

2. The Crown Prince

Timeline: Same as above

Setting: Antioch, Ida, and/or aboard the Dead Fleet.

POV: Kiriona as a Byronic Hero, apt pupil of the ideology of decadence, material excess, and artificiality. First or third person narration by Kiriona on her off-hours, enjoying the tawdry privileges of her rank as Crown Prince, heir to all the hedonistic masochism and moral decay of the Nine Houses, sitting through endless balls and dinners held in her honor. And afterwards- Kiriona fucking her way through literal frontline titties of the Fifth, feeling Absolutely Nothing because her body is dead and that blood isn’t pumping anywhere anymore. It’s everything she ever wanted and she can't enjoy it. It's a 5 course meal and she can’t taste it. She doesn't want much of anything, anymore.

I MISS reading ntn for the first time the emotions I had that week cannot be described by modern science like that will be in the next edition of the dsmv there was NOTHING mentally normal about those 5 days

[lady-harrowhark]

not that this particularly matters, but it's interesting to me that we always think of gideon and harrow being a year apart in age. and they are, in terms of being 17 and 18 during the events of gtn, but also, if gideon was a year old at the time that harrow was conceived, there's probably closer to two years between them.

Gideon is working now, I guess. Convenient, as my dad has decided to not respond for some reason.

I want to make a post about how smart Gideon is but am bad at making posts rn. But I’ll get to it because I feel like defending my darling girl. She’s smart! She’s so smart she’s just thrown into a situation in GtN where she is not given the tools she needs to understand everything going on around her!

Gideon so often gets done so dirty by a lot of slices of the fandom in terms of painting her as like, dumb muscle etc. when there is SO much more to her character. And I can’t help but think that a lot of the time there’s  an element of people being weird about butch women in terms of that treatment. And even more so and intersecting with that, I feel like racism, conscious or otherwise, undeniably plays a role in this treatment of her in many instances. It’s not my place to speak further on that (and I’m sure people who are much more qualified to talk about this have been talking about it and probably getting largely ignored a lot of the time), but it’s a thought that’s popped up for me and has been knocking around my head a lot lately
