The Harrow doll (or as someone on reddit said, Harrowhark Dollagesimus) that I knit for my very normal friend @milliebobbyflay for Christmas!

[schizononagesimus]

character: camilla hect

AAAAA MY GWORL okay okay im normal

fave thing abt her: WHERE DO I FUCKING BEGIN. she thinks she could fight a herald. she already knows about pal's nurse kink and thinks he needs better taste. she's a mad dog. she's a pill. she doesn't let go. she has about sixty weird little secret things she's developed with pal and she keeps them TIGHT secrets. she takes notes on nona kissing herself in a mirror (VERY interesting imagine seeing harrowhark nonagesimus kissing herself in the mirror HELP fjdkslfjdk). she can do a handspring down stairs. her autistic ass posture. im gonna stop talking now

least fave thing: she is clearly a lil jealous of pal's obsession w dulcie and i really just think they should all kiss 😔

fave line: THE WHOLE "ASK ME HOW I AM AND I'LL SCREAM" "HOW ARE YOU" SEQUENCE HAS ME IN STITCHES EVERY TIME but also ... it was good. we were happy. SHUT THE FUCK UP OW

brotp: CAM & GIDEON OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!! cam sees thru gideon's bullshit! she also has a weird codependent situationship! they fight like hell! she gets the banter! and has more social skills than gideon to be like "honey no that is not what's happening at ALL"

otp: CAMPAL. not sorry fam it's canon whether you like it or not! is it romantic? is it sexual? WHO KNOWS!! WHO CARES!! NOT I!! QPRS EXIST! SO DO AROACE PPL! IT IS POSSIBLE AND ALSO POSSIBLE FOR IT TO NOT BE WEIRD LIKE HALF THIS FANDOM ACTS LIKE IT IS!!! re: theyre cousins! OHHHH NOOO HOW DARE THEY BE **SECOND** COUSINS ON A PLANET WHERE IT IS THE STANDARD TO MARRY UR COUSIN. OK????? OK

notp: cam/nona i just think she'd be so weirded out by nona being in harrow's body 😭😭

random headcanon: now i think some of this can be inferred from the text but i think cam is like. horrendously suicidal. probably always has been. probably the only reason she's alive is because of pal both by him just existing and needing her And he's probably.. stopped an attempt at some point. and i just want to hold her abt it

unpopular opinion: i think gideon could beat her in a fight but not because she's more skilled than cam but because gideon's more likely to do something fucking stupid that actually works

song: LORDE GLORY AND GORE

fave pic: this fanart because WOW her hips like. muir always says she dropped down to her haunches so LORD SHE PROBABLY GOT HIPS FOR DAAAAYYYYYS HELP

HEHE thank you for asking i had fun

Donna Troy (DC Comics) my dear darling i love her so bad

Bokuto Kotaru (Haikyuu) thats my little guy :-) i love nothing more than characters who are so dedicated and kind they mean everything 2 me

Harrowhark Nonagesimus (The Locked Tomb) oh my god. when i read htn after gtn i was gobsmacked. shes literally a lesbian nun in love with the creature who will destroy god in some of the most catastrophic situationships to ever grace the galaxy

honourable mention: sanji from one piece but especially the 4kidz dub version

Top 5 things im most proud of (tysm for sending this, it was very nice to reflect on!!):

My research!! I went through the fucking trenches for it but i recently was able to present a project at a major conference and it was a really magical moment

This might sound weird but my athletic ability. I'm disabled w chronic pain but I've put so much time and effort into being able to still play rugby/lift weights and im very proud of myself for figuring out how to do that :-)

My cooking! I can cook most anything if given a recipe for it and i love cooking for other ppl

My dedication. Mama didn't raise a quitter. I try really really hard to not give up on things I care about, even when it gets rough, especially when I'm supporting other people

My introspection. I've been a person I didn't love for a lot of my life but I have worked really really hard to take a look at myself and improve my ability to be there for myself (and others) and forge a more positive future for myself :'-)

ask me my top 5 anything!

[wulvert]

OK SO. HERES A BRIEF (HI. FUTURE ME. NOT BRIEF. VERY LONG. SORRY.) SUMMARY OF THE LOCKED TOMB SERIES AVOIDING AS MUCH SPOILERS AS POSSIBLE.

the locked tomb's setting is extremely fucked up space sci-fi with lesbian necromancers (the quote on the front of gideon the ninth, the first book, is quite literally "lesbian necromancers in space!")- tamsyn muir, the author, was inspired by homestuck when she was writing it. so. if that explains it better.

i cnat explain the magic necromancer system without feeling like im having a stroke sorry. but the way it works is you basically have to be born with the ability to see and manipulate thalergy (life energy) and thanergy (death energy). necromancy on all the planets is basically like a monarchy- if youre a necromancer, you're royalty. all necromancers have a cavalier- which is basically a brawn to the necromancer's brains. they all have swords or other sharp blades. also have a much more sinister purpose but thats a secret.

the orange girl is gideon nav, nicknamed griddle by the smaller one (harrowhark nonagesimus). gideon's a butch himbo who also happens to be the saddest girl in the entire universe by book 3. she wields a giant fuckin' haunted greatsword and absolutely hates harrow(hark nonagesimus)'s guts. also shes stuck on an amish, dying planet (the ninth house, might be pluto) and has been raised to be a soldier. oops. her adoptive mom is awesome though. has no idea whats going on at any point in time. harrow's cavalier.

HARROW. THE WETTEST MOST PATHETIC RAT OF A GIRL. into bones and corpses. necromancer of the ninth house. cant eat any food that isnt bland ration bars because of the autism shes filled with. mean fucking gremlin. bit my ass. also shes intrinsically so fucking tragic but i cant go into any more detail of her without spoiling something. she makes me feel so many emotions along with gideon.

brief summary of the rest of the cast that appears in the first book:

FIRST HOUSE (earth?):

there exists no notable residents of the first house. it is the earth post apocalypse- broken down and uninhabitable. except for the location the first book takes place in, the canaan house!

SECOND HOUSE (mars?):

judith deuteros - necromancer. army kid. because the entire second house is a military (called the cohort). honestly i dont remember a lot about her- only that she's kinda gay with coronabeth later.

marta dyas - cavalier. army kid. i remember even less about her sorry

THIRD HOUSE (neptune?):

ianthe tridentarius - necromancer. nasty fucking beast. cannibal just for fun. third house princess. complete fucking disaster. somethings going on with her gender. believes shes the main character of a risqué novel. shes my favorite but i cant elaborate further at risk of spoilers

coronabeth tridentarius - necromancer. ianthe's sister. sword lesbian. third house princess. a disaster but less so than ianthe. yea thats it sorry its so hard to summarize without spoilers

naberius tern - coronabeth and ianthe's cavalier. third house. male, meatstick, gender gets stolen

FOURTH HOUSE (saturn?):

isaac tettares - necromancer. he's just a kid and life is a nightmare

jeannemary chatur - cavalier. she's just a kid and life is a nightmare

FIFTH HOUSE (jupiter?):

abigail pent - necromancer. historian. academic. in terms of characters that are. "normal" she and magnus are the closest you can really get. i respect her so much but alas i cannot give the reasons. acts kinda as a mother figure to the fourth and even the ninth house (gideon and harrow are both 18 at the least- but neither of them have ever quite had mother OR father figures.)

magnus quinn - cavalier. abigail's husband. i dont remember anything about him honestly, but he's the epitome of a dad and behaves that way towards the fourth and even ninth house. dad jokes

SIXTH HOUSE (mercury?):

palamedes sextus - necromancer. if the entirety of the main tlt cast wasnt full of deranged lesbians he'd do numbers as a tumblr sexyman. librarian. nicknamed sex pal by gideon. reads a lot. also a doctor.

camilla hect - cavalier. sick as hell. dualwields. librarian. doctor. i cant give a lot of information about her but shes also one of my favorites

SEVENTH HOUSE (venus?):

dulcinea septimus - necromancer. cougar? milf? who knows. has terminal blood-born cancer but she's being so sexy about it. dont worry about the boss music you hear.

protesilaus ebdoma - cavalier. rly a kind guy- likes poetry nd flowers. just wants to protect.

EIGHTH HOUSE (uranus?):

silas octakiseron - necromancer. extremely religious. i dont remember anything about him honestly besides the fact i hate him.

colum asht - cavalier. probabl also religious. i dont remember anything about him either. i respect him more than i do silas.

NINTH HOUSE (pluto?):

harrowhark nonagesimus & gideon nav: u know about these guys

the most important thing to know about the locked tomb past my very long rambling is that its a story about love. it has been and always will be about love since the very first book. it is the core component of the entire series- in what way love changes, in the way it persists, in what people will do for it. the different types of love. this does not just refer to gideon and harrow being massive lesbians, but yea thats pretty important too.

also a fair warning if u DO chooseto read; the entire of the locked tomb series is an absolute mindfuck. absolutely nothing will make sense at first and sometimes reading more will make it even more confusing. when it all finally clicks at the end though u'll never be the same ever again. it WILL leave a lasting scar on ur psyche

(homestuck spoilers. i guess)

i see u gave up on the replies fair enough this is more than 450 characters

i bought the first book before hopping in the shower, It'll arrive tuesday. i have returned 2 this ask- A LOT OF NAMES, so anything i could absorb as a spoiler has left my mind immediately- HOMESTUCK. Interesting, I didn't know that, i hope i can absorb the lore better than i did for homestuck which wasnt at all , then i got a headache from the text colours then lost my place after the cat girl died.

I will read it, I hope the orange girl and the smaller one are okay after reading this im worried about them. how did naberius' gender get stolen what happened to them who stole it. fiddlemouth just commented abt the audiobook. probably shouldve gone for that. also fiddlemouth if ur reading this we need to play minecraft again sometime

[idolshineitai]

Hey, So, im really normal about harrowhark nonagesimus !! ^_^ and i can be trusted around fictional characters. Let me in :-)

[nav-ix]

ok but the entire prologue of Harrow the Ninth and throughout the book, Ianthe telling Harrow that she'll help "if only you'd ask" and of course Harrow doesn't ask for help because that's not what she does. And the prologue fits into the rest of the chapters right before Gideon wakes up in Harrow's body (possibly the break in the prologue before "Hell spat you back out" fits in just as she's seizing on the bed in the river bubble, about to remember Gideon? something like that). And that prologue ends with Harrow saying "three syllables she did not even understand" which, obviously in my opinion, is Gideon's name.

Gideon comes because she asks! She comes because she asks her to! The whole time, everyone is all "I'll help you if you ask for help" and the only person she ever asks for help, through the fucking murk of her own slipshod lobotomy, is Gideon. And when she does, of course Gideon answers

[hyenagirlbulge]

i just got to the end of harrow the ninth and damn,,,, what the fuck???

i love pyrrah with my whole heart i sure hope nothing bad happens to her

whats going on with both harrow and gideon?? is gideon going to get her body back?? is harrow ok?? (i know the answer to that one is no, she literally gaslit herself out of processing a lifetimes supply of trauma) is alecto appearing to harrow real or part of her psychosis?? i still have so many questions, harrow my poor little meow meow, my slrunkly, shes so mean, she sucks so bad, she cant make soup, oh i want to give her a hug, whatevers wrong with her is so entrancing
