I AM VINDICATED! GIDEON IS NAIVE AND NOT USED TO PEOPLE AND A TOTAL DUMBASS BUT SHE IS NOT STUPID!!!

[shiroikabocha]

maybe it’s just because I have been sick for a week and binge watching Taskmaster New Zealand but hear me out: The Locked Tomb Taskmaster AU (as in alternate universe, not Taskmaster Australia)

Gideon the Ninth takes place during task filming at Canaan House. Teacher plays the role of Taskmaster’s Assistant. Each cav-necro team acts as a single competitor; houses are paired up for the team tasks (so we can get our Harrow-Gideon-Palamades-Camilla Team 69 on). At the beginning, all teams are told there is a Secret Task that they must piece together by the end (the secret task is: Eat Your Cavalier). All the murders still happen in roughly the same order.

Harrow the Ninth takes place during studio filming. Harrow, Ianthe, Mercymorn, Augustine, and G1deon are the “contestants” on the five chairs. Jod is Taskmaster, the corpse of Cytherea sits in the seat of the Taskmaster’s Assistant. The corpse changes position and facial expressions between shots but otherwise does not move or speak. Jod still attempts to banter with it. When tasks are shown, they are all drawn from Harrow’s false bubble-memory of Canaan House. Everyone except Harrow calls G1deon “Gideon,” but it’s badly-bleeped and replaced with “ORTUS.” G1deon makes a blatant attempt to kill Harrow during each of the live tasks.

Nona the Ninth is a found-footage film pieced together from Nona’s schoolmates’ attempts at an amateur version of Junior Taskmaster. Task filming is routinely interrupted by urban warfare. It’s not immediately apparent, but becomes clear over time that all the children assume Varun is the Taskmaster. Nona eats the wax seals off every task

K Gideoonn Nav WAS OBSERVANT and PAYING ATTENTION. She saw SO MUCH of little details. Her voice has been silenced and devalued her entire life so she does not tell anyone what she notices Or draw conclusions.

The last time she told Someones(Reverand Parents) that she saw Something(Harrow going in the tomb), she saw them hang themselves.

Started reading The Locked Tomb series and Gideon & Harrow are pretty great.

Dear Tamsyn Muir,

Is the terrible joke that The Locked Tomb is a setup for that

gingers have no souls???

No love,

Me

[immortalbutterflycos]

Gideon and Harrow are my wives now. If you have any issues with that, you can take it up with The King Undying.

[undressrehearsal]

lets get one thing straight gideon nav is a loser with no rizz

ppl characterize her as this big butch himbo sex god jock but she's literally. a loser. like we're talking about the girl who constantly thinks about coronabeth's tits when she's in the room but when a hot girl actually tries to talk to her she takes any excuse to dip. she canonically reads sleazy porn magazines and unironically loves puns

she's a loser and i love her for it

ROUND 5 MATCH 15: INV/ENOT VS. GIDEON

Inv/Enot from Rainworld faces Gideon Nav from the Locked Tomb. Who do you like more?

Inv/Enot Propaganda:

"They're so silly,,,, their entire campaign and character is a joke they put in the game but they managed to become a favorite of a few people (I am one of those few) The dude is so determined to get a date that they had to add a dating simulator at the very end of the super difficult joke campaign that he is from Also it would be funny if this silly creature made it past the first round"

"Clinically insane and vaguely horny. that's just Tumblr, but in slugcat form. Need I say more?"

Gideon Propaganda:

"Lesbian swordswoman in space"

"gideon is too stubborn to die she was supposed to never be born. she was supposed to die as a baby. she was supposed to die at canaan house somehow she's still alive and kicking ass and making the worst puns"

"gideon nav is one of the most infuriatingly likable characters to ever exist butch himbo jock with a love for all things tacky and/or horny her sense of humor is puns and dick jokes she is the light of my life"

Previously featured propaganda:

Gideon/Harrowhark Gideon and Harrow have one of the most fascinating, deliciously complicated, unbelievably fucked-up relationships in any piece of media I have ever encountered. Their obsession with each other stands out as uniquely weird even by the standards of a story that the author herself has described as being about "the horrors of love."

They have tried to kill each other, and each has tried (and mostly succeeded) to destroy herself for the sake of the other. They know each other more intimately than anyone else could ever come to know either of them if they tried, but also each have so many Problems that they fundamentally do not understand how the other thinks, let alone how mutual their feelings are; they are both desperately ravenous for someone to love them, and do not realize the degree to which they have that in each other.

They are inextricably tied together down to their very souls, and though the final book has not yet come out, every indication is that their bond will be the key factor to fundamentally changing the entire universe.

Nina/Matthias 1. They both looked at the term "Enemies to Lovers" and went "aight, bet"

2. Just so well written.

3. Himbo x Badass

4. They're just so squishy i cant siofjsofjsdiojfao

pls can we get your most niche tlt headcanons/ canon points you think are too overlooked or unappreciated/ fanon you see too often mistaken for canon/ juicy background bits on the babytrap or skater AU or otherwise.. the ppl are starving

omg this is exactly the treat i deserve after doing so many chores today, im gonna hit all these categories just for funsies

niche tlt headcanon: this is maybe more a theory than a pure headcanon but i think someone in Camilla's direct family line, either a parent or a grandparent, was from outside the Houses. Hect is an arithmonym, but it's not Sixth, it's a prefix meaning 100. as there's no 10th (or 100th) House, i like to think this is meant to indicate that someone in her recent family tree was an outsider! also she's hot enough for the Alexandrites, which suggests at least one of her bio parents or grandparents was hot enough for the Nireids and perhaps scored some out-of-House genetic material to spice up the Sixth's diversity. also Silas questions her eligibility to be cav primary, and since she's brilliant and badass and the Sixth don't base these things on bloodline/inheritance, there's no reason for even a prig like Silas to disqualify her other than some kind of citizenship issue. anybody with at least one Sixth parent is considered Sixth, that's their whole deal, but maybe the Eighth take a dimmer view?

smaller but purer headcanon that has no basis in anything except my gut: i think the "very silly" description of herself that Dulcie sent to Pal and Cam, and the drawing Cam sent back (mentioned in TUG), is a reference to this classic of ancient tumblr

overlooked/underappreciated canon moment: at this point i dont think there's anything i have noticed that i haven't seen at least one person blog about, but one of the tiny little things that gives me shrimp emotions is Gideon in the pool scene, after she's had this intense thing with Harrow, and then Harrow starts waxing about her beloved in the Tomb: "[Harrow's] voice had the quality of someone in a long dream. She stared through Gideon without looking at her, and Gideon gently took her hands away from Harrow's jaw. Instead she sat back in the water, buoyed by the salt, her eyes starting to sting from it." she's suddenly being told that Harrow is into someone else, she assumes these feelings she's been slowly catching are doomed before she can even really examine them, she pulls back from the very intimate position they've just been in, and she has a quiet lil cry about it that she won't even acknowledge in the narration. BUT I KNOW WHAT THAT SALT STINGING YOUR EYES IS GIDEON NAV

fanon you see too often mistaken for canon: GIDEON ISN'T STUPID T^T she's not a himbo jock, she's just a jock who doesn't care about necromancy! she also can't sense it, so she naturally has less information than Harrow about what's going on in GtN. she has a baller vocabulary, she's strategic, she's observant, she's super good at what she does, and she adapts to a completely novel situation VERY quickly.

also? i understand why it's visually more appealing to draw Kiriona with her chussy out, or modern au Gideon showing a lot of skin, i dig it, im hot for her too. but Gideon is canonically shy. she doesn't even take off her robes to duel in GtN, and is so constantly hooded that nobody even knows she's a redhead until halfway through the book. Kiriona is buttoned up to the point of wearing a goddamn ascot to cover her neck hole. i definitely understand au situations where her upbringing was different and so she's a little different, that's part of a good au for me, but it still always crosses my mind when i see her with her shirt wide open or her tummy out or in booty shorts or something. she's hot and she wants everyone to think she knows it, but deep down she does not know it and doesn't really flaunt it, except those guns

juicy background bits on babytrap or skater au: hmmmmm. Kiriona would deny it's the reason she hasn't named the baby, but she IS waiting for Harrow. she doesn't feel like she has the right, and she has complex feelings about both the names her own parents gave her. she has a deep-seated sense that Harrow, who is smart and cares a lot about doing things the right way, will be better suited to this responsibility.

in the figure skating au...a minor character from early in the story is going to be very important in the sequel fic, i think.

Describe your tav or Durge's personality with characters you associate with them:

I was tagged by @dearest-and-nearest . Thank you!

Sentry Ojeda:

Sarah Lynn from Bojack Horseman for the toxic codependency issues, major BPD, bipolar, and addiction/promiscuity resulting from severe abuse and exploitation as a child.

Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi for the blatant autism, obsession with monsters, big brother instinct, and accidentally party leader vibes as well as a big, queer paladin.

Gideon Nav for snarky, refusing to conform to gender roles, queer as fuck, himbo energy, and great big weapon plus self sacrificing nature

Todd Chavez from Bojack Horseman for his friendly, upbeat optimism combined with heavy dependency on smarter, more jaded friends and companions. Also his notoriously awful ideas.

Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove for his himbo puppy dog energy, surprising competence and depth despite himbo energy, and being the very handsome strong sidekick to a villain.

Homura from Saiyuki for his being the child of a god, forced to serve that God and do his bidding, kept on a leash, having everything about his life controlled and chosen for him, and lashing out against that including being willing to tear apart the world.

Josuke Higashkita for his laid back heroism, loyalty to his friends, persistence, and healing energy.

[microchive]

either cam or gideon for the character thing!!!

GAH!!!! picking gideon because you already did cam also i want to talk about gideon nav my best friend gideon nav

favorite thing about them: how do i even begin.... i love that she isn't a hero and doesn't become one through the narrative, i love that she is so blatantly posturing all of the time and she builds herself up to be this big confident sexy funnyman because she needs that to keep herself afloat but what she is in reality isn't any lesser! she is funny and she's shy and nervous and she's so powerfully butch to the bone in a way that avoids all negative stereotypes but still manages to highlight the pitfalls butches find themselves in. she has so many layers and people reduce her to some kind of himbo when in reality she's objectively both too mean and too intelligent to be a himbo. i love that you can sense from the very beginning that she is sitting on a massive broiling lake of sadness and for all of her posturing she is both incredibly delicate and one of the strongest characters in the story. i love that she sucks so bad and died a virgin like christ jesus and even missing half her soul she remains consistent not in her outward personality but in her ability to shield her soft underbelly through some sort of performative attitude but EVERYONE can see right through her except gideon herself because everything she does is loud and annoying. she's impulsive and passionate and. incredibly annoying. i hate her and she's my favorite person ever

least favorite thing about them: probably the war crimes but it's not like she's passionate about war crimes she just doesn't gaf. this is just what a lesbian situationship will do to a guy

favorite line: literally all of them man everything she says makes me laugh.... here are some standouts though: - "If my heart had a dick you would kick it" - "I have lots of fealty in me. I fealt the Emperor with every bone in my body. I fealt hard" - "You've got two short minutes left before I punch you right in the butthole" - everything she says when talking to ianthe

brOTP: her and camilla ooooohhhh..... also her and pal. gideon works so well with the sixth house because they're just as annoying and generally peculiar as her they're just more lowkey about it

OTP: i'd have to say griddlehark because i have never stopped thinking about them ever but i do enjoy gideon x camilla (i forgot their ship name) because the cav4cav shit is so good godddd they're just two sides of the same coin, the same story with different upbringings they would help each other out

nOTP: not a huge fan of gideon and corona just because i think corona needs to chase someone who doesn't like her for enrichment purposes and gideon's schoolgirl crush on corona probably doesn't translate well into an actual relationship (let's be real though none of these relationships are going "well") but it is an interesting dynamic

random headcanon: i think she is really gross. genuinely. she picks her nose and doesn't wash her face and harrow gets on her ass about it which i guess is reasonable. also more intense but i definitely think both gideon and harrow have food issues but while harrow copes by being intensely picky gideon has some textual evidence of binge eating which makes sense to me character wise and also would explain why she developed muscle on planet malnutrition

unpopular opinion: i don't really have any once again?? i guess i like to imagine she isn't as attractive as she thinks she is but a lot of people write and draw her as a lesbian adonis which i understand because thats how she describes herself lmao. i think she's kind of cute in a weird way and tamsyn describes her as boyishly pretty so in my mind she's the kind of hot a straight man would never agree with. she is still the hottest person in the world to me

song i associate with them: I HAVE SO MANY. main ones are: father by the front bottoms, dance in room song by sipper, bodysnatchers by radiohead, suffering jukebox by silver jews, knife in the coffee by car seat headrest

favorite picture of them: this fanart: (this artist does such a delicious gideon ohhh i need her.) https://www.tumblr.com/bastardnoodle/741903153830723584/im-in-the-middle-of-reading-harrow-and-i-miss-her?source=share

[dykenav]

honestly can I be vulnerable and admit that before reading gtn I had SUCH a hard time finding wlw media I related to. like idk what it was but I feel like almost every f/f ship in popular media is like SO bland and always fem4fem but not even in an Actual Lesbian Femme way, but in like a Normal Straight Girl Who Happens to Be Gay way. obv there’s some exceptions but I honestly thought there was something wrong with me for not being able to Relate to fictional lesbians as much as like fictional gay men or like it was some internalized lesbophobia or something. but actually it turns out it’s just because all the lesbian media I’ve engaged with Sucks and all I needed was my Butch Dyke Himbo Gideon Nav Awakening
