ogni tanto mi prende una crisi di nervi quando vedo i disegni vecchi e mi dico "wow! che schifo!" Quindi uhh ecco Gideon. Disegno questa donna almeno 30 volte al giorno. Odio quella maledetta uniforme della Coorte la odio la odio
Farei anche Harrow ma lei ha tipo 5 outfit, non contando Nona, e non mi va hihi

had a bit of a moment™️ but i’m back to reading gideon the ninth and i’m on chapter 11 (very slow reader) and i just i love magnus he’s so funny he’s so great i cannot wait to meet his wife but anyways i felt compelled to come to tumblr cause of:
[ After losing a duel to Gideon in 3 moves ]
“—Am I getting old? Should Abigail and I divorce?—“
to which i audibly giggled and wrote in my book “Magnus nooo” he’s such a guy. he’s such a dad and i love him.
i did also enjoy their little interaction earlier where gideon told herself to take mental note of his joke to use it later. so silly. gideon nav never change (she will. i’ve been warned on this. shoutout to anna) BUT ALSO WHILE IM ON THEIR DUEL!!!
“The point of her black rapier flickered like paper touched with a flame and came to rest, a quarter-inch away from his heart, making him stutter to a halt.”
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE DESCRIPTIONS WAAAHHHH literally underlined that bit and wrote “love❤️” next to it im gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.
and lastly, so i can go back to reading, my two beautiful notes before and after the duel:
“Girl you’re fucked”
“the fight, I’m so sorry to have doubted you Nav”
(and also) “you show ‘em girl”

you ever think about how canaan house is probably the most life gideon’s ever seen?
this has been sitting in my wips forever, so i decided it’d be better to post some version of it than let it languish in procreate forever.
edit: due to popular request, this piece is now available on my shop!

rating ways to advertise the locked tomb
"lesbian necromancers in space": 5/10. technically true, except that gideon isn't a necromancer and for the most part they aren't in space. can also be tonally misleading; implies a fun space opera adventure and fails to mention the impending emotional devastation. that being said it is iconic and (mostly) effective
"murder mystery in a haunted gothic castle": 8/10. MUCH better at capturing the tone and plot of the first book, but still a little off. imagine picking up the book because of this blurb and then watching gideon nav make a mean girls reference in the first 20 pages. the whiplash could kill you
"a locked tomb mystery": 5/10. nondescriptive and a little misleading, but i can't give this any lower than a 5 because the pun is very good. gideon would love this one and that should count for something
"gay goth among us": 10/10. i'm not even going to pretend like this one doesn't nail it. try and argue against this. you can't. captures the murders, the space-y setting, the queer characters, the tone and aesthetic, AND the contemporary humor. chef's kiss
"enemies to lovers 'i hate everyone but you' slow burn": 1/10. true if you squint. the relationship between gideon and harrow would make booktok weep
"catholic homestuck": 9/10. this means nothing and explains everything
this tweet by tamsyn muir:
[Image ID: A tweet by "tamsyn should be writing" @tazmuir: "sure, I edited from 12 o'clock to 4.30, but how much of that time did I spend on the discovery that the basis of my novel is 'what if these two were... teenage girls'", followed by an image of Skeletor and He-Man. /end ID]
10/10. conveys the pop culture savvy of the series, the complex dynamic between the main characters, and the humor of the writing style all at once. also makes me laugh every time i think about it
