#i hate ianthe i love her

[aloharyda]

someday i'll learn how to draw Ianthe Tridentarius but today will not be the day :^)

[dve]

i could love ianthe tridentarius i think deeply in my soul the problem is that after all these years it is in my nature to buck against the #intentionallyproblematicwhitegirl in any fandom because their fans are usually. well

ianthe is such a bitch I hate her sm I love her

[harrowedsoup]

Yes I know having Gideon hate Ianthe is the common thing for AUs but personally I think it would be so much funnier if they’re best friends. Like Gideon WANTS to hate her so bad but she just finds her too hilarious to ignore. Ianthe says the only reason they hang out is because she’s into Harrow but really it’s because Ianthe likes to have someone to make miserable and Gideon is always miserable.

Harrow hates their friendship deeply.

i'm getting the sense that marauders fans by and large are intensely antisnape and potentially moralistic about it... i think that they should consume non-hp media with more deeply fucked up and also deeply enjoyable characters for some perspective. they might benefit from the locked tomb perhaps. go take a gander at, like, ianthe and then get back to me

[rottingsoftly]

i love ianthe in every way possible until i remember the whole twincest thing she's got going on. then i'm mildly disgusted by her and myself for liking her until i forget about it again. and the cycle continues forever the end

finished Harrow the Ninth. Gideon is still the only thing I care about whatsoever (I do love Harrow, but it's different, Gideon makes me want to explode). Spent the whole book just waiting for her to be back (ya ya part of it was her pov watching Harrow but it wasn't Her her ya know) and she finally came back and I almost cried. Genuinely, she is EVERYTHING to me

My Ianthe headcanon is that she's so bad at aftercare she gets Coronabeth to do it for her.

gideon the ninth: "ah, I understand," said palamades, "what's happening here is-" at this point, Gideon decided to think about how hot dulcinia was

harrow the ninth: "i hate you you stupid little bug" said mercymorn, to which thirty percent of your body started bleeding profusely. Ianthe, The Body, and your sword judged you very harshly for this. "now now everyone," said God, "play nice together" as Gideon's spear protruded between your ribs.

nona the ninth: "I sure do love life," said nona. "God, you're such a loser," replied her friends Chewing Cinderblocks and Hot Cheeto Dust. Cow Wall Flashback. Noodle barked. Cow Wall Flashback "man, we should really do something about the magic beam that makes people insane," said palamades to the local commander, He Who Crowns Headless Chickens. Cow Wall Flashback.

congrats on finishing htn!!! omg i cannot imagine finishing that book right before having to go take an exam jtxdtjdjthrs you're so strong... im pretty sure when i finished it i just had to sit down and stare at the wall for like thirty minutes until my head stopped spinning! it's SUCH a good book and the ending is so so wild. what are your thoughts on wake... wake my beloved...

i was fighting for my life for realsies... paying attention to things in general is difficult for me but trying to follow the thread of this book was a nightmare that i fully invited into my life and also enjoyed ^_^ i understood almost everything but truly i do not know what to feel or think about the ending, no clue what happened! harrow's little tomb finale scene is the thing i had trouble with because of this book's historical issue with separating reality from hallucination which i get is a stylistic choice but i am a little overwhelmed to be frank. i really really appreciate that harrow didn't end up doing some "for the good of the world i will do what is morally correct" bullshit and return to her body like a normal person would have done because she is so unbelievably abormal. i see her as some sort of fucked up beloved daughter slash feral cat... i very genuinely cried when gideon came back because i missed her so bad she is everything to me!!! honestly if you have any personal insights on the ending, interpretations, etc let me know because wikipedia isn't cutting it. wake girlbossed too close to the sun and her egg notes were freaky! as was the whole Girl From The Ring act with cythereas body! i would buy her a #1 mom mug and i think she would have liked dolly parton

Y'all suck at tlt posting/nbh

[eemolu]

one of the best gideon moments hands down is when, post battle with new lyctor ianthe, she finds out that dulcinea and palamedes are sort of exes and she LIES DOWN ON THE GROUND ABOUT IT AND GROANS FOR FIVE WHOLE MINUTES. everyone is like “gideon get up” “gideon it’s not a big deal” and she is like literally i’m going to end it all. this is so embarrassing for me and palamedes must hate me (cam has told her four times this is Not True) i must go make things right with him immediately. babygirl there’s a feral infant proto-god who just consumed the soul of her 1950s greaser chewtoy sprinting around canaan house you HAVE to change your priorities. and yet she won’t and she doesn’t. i love her so bad

[zombified-queer]

Man, Ianthe's entire life has sucked from day 0. Her twin sister almost killed her to be born first and seize the crown by birth order. She's the YOUNGEST of TWINS. She spent her whole life pretending to be twice the necromancer all for Coronabeth's sake. She's third in line for the Throne of Third House which means about fuckall. Everyone she's ever met has glanced at her and gone "Ew" without a second thought. She becomes a SAINT for ACTUAL GOD and everyone on the Third is too busy crying over Coronabeth WHO ISN'T EVEN DEAD.

Girlie spent twenty-one years being nice and then decided to go apeshit all at once.

[hedge-rambles]

I was scrolling my TLT tag and honestly, I have to rescind my addition to this post having somewhat recently reread GtN. Because Gideon does know.

She's annoyed by the fact but that girl is fully aware she's the product of a Ninth House education. When they first get to Canaan House she thinks it's going to be boring seminars and lessons, with Bones 1, 2 and 3 with Dr Skelebones. And she specifically thinks she could fill in for Dr Skelebones, she could teach at least Bones 1 and 2 without doing a scrap of necromancy.

She is a dumb-jock swordsbian but she's also very intelligent and is 100% aware that she has an unwholesome familiarity and level of knowledge about the human skeleton.

Anyway, I suspect a six year old Gideon would laugh at the Dem Bones song because lol, the "arm bone"? Which fucking one, idiot?

funniest part of the winnowing trial is harrow rattling off bone names and gideon knowing exactly where they are. objectively hilarious coming from gideon ”i hate the ninth house and i hate bones” nav
