Gideon:

How Locked Tomb characters would put out a candle

Gideon: The classic method, blowing on it (something something your mom). Also very prone to whipping one finger back and forth through the flame

Harrow: One of these doodads (apparently called a snuffer).

Bonus: Harrow Nova uses her rapier every single time

Ianthe: Pinch the wick with her bare fingers

Corona: Put the lid back on (she exclusively uses the big scented ones, and doesn't care that this makes reuse harder, because she can always get fresh ones)

Cytherea: Wick dipper - she also likes to use big scented ones, and she enjoys the visual of drowning the flame in its own byproduct. Feels poetic, somehow.

Palamedes: Cup his hand around the flame before blowing it out

Camilla: Lower the wick and/or closing the chamber in her lamp. She's not using an open flame if she can help it

Nona: Douse it in water, because she's very proud she remembers the difference between these and grease fires

John: Watch it burn all the way down and wax nostalgic about his own long-lost mortality

#modern au gid would take up this habit specifically BECAUSE of this scene tbh #also one time i had a pillar candle that the wick had kind of tunneled down as it burned #and i blew down into it to put it out without thinking about what i was doing #and it splattered the melted wax back into my face #this is why we have eyelashes so thankfully none got in my actual eyes #a few burn speckles across my face and a decent amount of time spent picking wax out of my eyelashes but i was fine overall #i got very VERY lucky #do NOT blow out candles that way #anyway i bring this up mainly because i can imagine gideon doing the same fucking thing #tlt #tlt txt #tlt ensemble
