the fact that Harrow during second book never told Ianthe that she met Coronabeth is so funny to me

Coronabeth: didn't Harrowhark tell you?

Ianthe:

love when parker drops from seemingly nowhere. not every ceiling has exposed rafters or pipes that she can cling onto or perch on, sometimes she must be pulling some kinda superhuman spider-man shit. it’s not a plot hole btw i fully believe she can do all that stuff, i would never doubt THE parker’s abilities

[sugarxinim]

imagine being god's daughter in law

i'd be mad too

also bonus

idk it just rubs me the wrong way when people claim that Tamlin blowing up the room in a fit of high emotion makes him an abuser.

especially when the second time he did it was in reaction to fe/yre purposely pushing him to do said thing so that she could sew seeds of doubt in his guards that were standing right outside the room. and you cannot tell me that she wasn’t doing exactly that because she says afterwards how satisfied she was with it and how she wished she could paint the scene and name it “a portrait or snares and BAITING” SHE WAS BAITING HIM!

but beyond that, why is a fae male expected to have full control over his powers when he’s had them for a few weeks and lived at like 20% power for the last 50 years?

fucking hell, fe/yre blew up at beron and burned LoA in the process and no one batted an eye.

one problem with a theatrical adaption of tlt is htn, where the reveal that Gideon lives on works because of the change of second person to first.

the only way i can think of it working is that the actor playing gideon works backstage, like the lights system (but is hidden from the audience aside from subtle hints)

the biggest hint is when when wake breaches pal's river bubble she 'breaks' the lighting system and the stage goes dark. harrow is ushered into the wings by pal so she doesn't see anything, but the lights flick back on just before the curtains drop for a scene change, and pal looks directly up at the light box in surprise and smiles. if the audience is quick to turn around they can see a flash of a black robe.

Oh boy my friend, have you come to the right place!!

So, fun fact about ninja. Bear with me, I am going somewhere with this. The image of a ninja covered head to toe in black, with a hood and mask, comes from Kabuki theatre. It was originally a stagehand uniform. Like stagehands in modern theatre, stagehands in Kabuki would wear all black to signify that they were not really there, and whatever effect they were causing (carrying a prop, creating a breeze, ect.) was to be taken as happening on its own. Basic stagehand stuff, a lot of productions in many styles around the world do it, especially if they don't have fancy rigging systems.

Someone (I don't remember who now, or in what play) had the idea to dress the ninja in a production up as a stagehand. In the convention of the theatre, this made them invisible. The audience was already so used to ignoring stagehands, they didn't know any more than the characters that the ninja was present, despite the actor being clearly visible on stage. Which meant when the ninja struck, it was as if out of nowhere. I can only imagine the uproar in the theatre the first time it happened. It worked so well as to become commonplace, and the rest is history. The popular image of a ninja is still a kabuki stagehand.

So, back to the stage play of Harrow the Ninth. I think you've hit almost exactly on how to incorporate the Gideon twist into a theatrical production. But not as a lighting tech. Gideon is a stage hand. Maybe there would be more than one stagehand, maybe she would be the only one, but she would operate in full view of the audience, literally setting the scenes. I think it works best if she's the only one, but if the production needs more, she should subtly stand out in some way. As the play went on, we would notice that this one stage hand... increasingly interacts with Harrow, though Harrow never acknowledges it. At first it might look like she's playing Harrow's necromancy, because that would be the main special effect she would need to help with. When Harrow is unconscious at the end of a scene, it's always the same stagehand carrying her out. But we all know she's not really there. Until Palamedes acknowledges her. Turns to look right at her, and speaks to her. I can see the scene clearly. He would look at her, stunned, until Gideon finally took off her mask. The line "Kill us twice, shame on God," would be addressed to Gideon, and then he would turn back to Harrow, kiss her on the forehead, and tell her to go. Gideon, always out of Harrow's line of sight, would guide Harrow away while Harrow looked back at Palamedes.

Ianthe helped a girl lobotomize herself and said "omg meet cute??" And then spent the whole book acting like a bad boy love interest but forgot about the part where he's actually nice to the girl.

Kieran: Bad news— Florian locked himself outside of his own room in the community center again.

Kieran: Good news— we didn’t have to wait around for a locksmith.

Kieran: Bad news— Carmine finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory.

Kieran: I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned it was because, at twelve, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute guys and girls.

Kieran: Good news— a cute girl saw me do it.

Kieran: Bad news— it was Juliana, and since she’s already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a Sentret that was just too small, obsess over an ogre, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she’ll never think I’m cool no matter what I do.

Celebrity Crush AU

idk why but the idea that in an alternate universe Raven somehow was never told Batman or Robin's secret identity and as a teen developed a not-so-slight crush on the very private, animal-loving billionaire Damian Wayne is almost as enticing as Robin KNOWING she has a lock screen of him and follows his socials and every so often cryptically dropping hints about his ideal gf which ofc is just him describing Raven.

Raven: *comes to training with a slight lovesick smile on her face*

Everyone else: WTF 😶

Robin, internally: Ah, I see she's seen my post about preferring bookworms for their inquisitive minds. Excellent. In two weeks I shall proceed to phase 2.

Alternatively,

Robin, painstakingly spending an hour crafting the perfect post for Raven to stumble on later: This is exactly how you flirt. Father simply has no idea what he is doing when it comes to women. Thank goodness I didn't get this from him.

[lady-harrowhark]

do you suppose john asked kiriona if she and ianthe were being safe too? or is that concern reserved for harrow?
