what no i’m fine. i’m just thinking about how harrowhark chose to lobotomize herself and remove all memories of gideon to preserve gideon’s soul, and how ianthe chose to kill naberius and consume his soul instead of corona’s soul. and i’m just thinking about how both harrow and ianthe did this - refused to consume gideon's and naberius' souls- out of a twisted love they held for their cavaliers. because harrow wanted to retain any chance she had of bringing gideon back, and because ianthe wanted her sister to live. and i’m thinking about how neither gideon nor corona saw this as love but instead as rejection (gideon saying “i gave you my whole self and you didn’t even want it,” corona saying “she could have taken me”) and anyway it’s just fucked up but i’m fine

#the locked tomb #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #griddlehark #naberius tern #ianthe tridentarius #coronabeth tridentarius #tlt coronabeth #tlt #lyctorhood is a really fun time with no bad consequences!!!!#gideon and corona view consumption as love #harrowhark and ianthe view it as selfish and harmful #or tbh maybe they see it as love too but dont want to lose those specific people #and especially gideon really gets to me because we see in her narration that she views this as a complete rejection! its so sad #harrow has been groping blindly around the mithraeum bleeding all over the place unable to regenerate just because she can't bear to absorb #gideon's soul. but because this necessiates rejecting gideon's sacrifice AND because gideon is now convinced harrow is in love with alecto #gideon is like Oh so you hate me.
