Gideon telling Harrow to stop screaming for her after she sacrifices herself on the fence still haunts me to this day btw

monologuing to my mother about harrow the ninth act three as she says things like "he should have known better than to eat the soup, there are folk songs about making soup with bone marrow" "I don't think connecting all this body horror with sex indicates a particularly healthy relationship to sexuality" "marina, this book sounds really quite grim" "does harrow ever have a nice time? does she ever sit down, drink some tea--" no actually she hates tea, she doesn't understand flavors "is there anyone she likes spending time with?" there was in the first book but all her memories got erased "I don't think I understand the youth of today"

"as necrosis to a wound"

never underestimate the gender euphoria of putting your strap on and just jerking that thang

i have wanted to draw the wing severing scene ever since i first read abm... so here's my little take on it.

Sorry Luci

love that ianthe finally Won and was so proud to do her big villain monologue and explain how actually she'd been the world's most specialest girl the whole time and she was the best and her beautiful charismatic much beloved sister was just an unworthy facade of a person and she was the final boss most important real deal. only to then immediately be upstaged completely by cytherea's villain turn. and then spend the last twenty pages of climactic denouement passed out on the ground.

I'm giving Anastasia a try, on the fence

rotating john gaius in my head and how he is both a coloniser and a victim of colonisation and how, when presented with the opportunity to rebuild all of society from the ground-up, chose not to model it after his own oppressed culture, but instead after an aesthetic VERY CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH WHITE SUPREMACY (neoclassicism), and how his daughter is the only thing in his entire, expansive empire that he named in his language in ten thousand years, and how he perpetuates the cycle he himself was a victim of. tearing my hair out tazmuir WHEN I GET YOU

you know I thought harrow did a lot of dumb shit in this book, but her response to john being like “maybe I could think of you as a daughter :)” being to smash a glass and kneel on the shards was eminently sensible

Tlt sketches

finished the main trilogy. maybe i will let them bully me into reading tsc too

started reading aftg and don't tell my twitter mutuals but i also went on the ao3 page because i can't contain myself

Everyone is talking about John Fetterman wearing a formal suit for Netanyahu’s genocide apologia but Rashida Tlaib is actually the only one wearing an acceptable outfit to the speech.

ronan complaining about capritwt is so funny when you look at capri tumblr

i would be feral abt t4t paldulcie

adds such a great layer to the ambiguously erotic long distance mentorship situation… dulcinea as a trans elder… i’m frothing at the mouth

SEE i wasn't thinking of Dulcie as a trans elder in this situation, I think Juno Zeta would put her her son on blockers aged 10 and be the kind of mom to have a toddler portrait tattoo redone to be like, still extremely binary but now the baby is dressed in blue with a baseball cap.

specifically I want to explore the experience of being trans and having these kind of... long distance, no faces, text only relationships where you can feel fully affirmed and the disconnect that then exists between your real world experience, and how this interacts with of course also being critically ill and not wanting anyone to see you because of that. the compounded body horror and also then, intimacy when there IS someone you trust to see you sick, see you naked, and the way that interacts with the vulnerability and exhaustion of sickness,

and there's another layer I really want to explore regarding how critical illness i.e. cancer can often impede or slow medical transition while ALSO drastically shortening the time in which one has to make these decisions. to quote my favorite movie "there is still time", but what if there isn't? what is there ISNT time? what if you're dying, and you want to die in the body you want to be remembered in, but you don't know if you'll get there? there's a horror in that. this quote from harrow the ninth:

"“The only thing that ever stopped me being exactly who I wanted,” she said, “was the worry that I would soon be dead … and now I am dead, Reverend Daughter, and I am sick of roses, and I am horny for revenge.”"

i think this would add to Palamedes' like... "i need to cure her i need to save her" and also heighten Dulcinea's rebellious streak (she wants cigarettes!!! she hates roses!!!) while also interacting with how she DID, in fact, decline Palamedes' proposal. she decided to stay where she was. there's so much here. im getting dangerously close to getting really personal here on tumblr dot com but im shaking the bars of my cage
