On a more serious note there's something to be said about mercymorn calling harrow a child vs ortus calling her a child in htn but i cant articulate it rn

#shut it apsa #something something mercymorns comes from a place of condescension #where she acknowledges that harrow is small and inexperienced but does nothing to protect her #vs ortus who recognized how he had failed gideon and harrow by standing on the sidelines #and watching them grow up far sooner than they should have ever had to #locked tomb #breaks my heart how harrow spends the whole time resisting it right until ortus says it #like it soothed some wound she didnt even know she had #bye im feeling an emotion #ortus nigenad my beloved...... #the fact that he acknowledges it and then fights for harrow 😭😭😭 bro that moment was EVERYTHING #also. condescension is probably oversimplifying it but lol i dont think i fully understood the lyctors anyway theyre too weird
