Back at it again at Krispy Kreme…. Aka the locked tomb.

Cytherea-as-Dulcinea sketch! Eventually I want to design a couple looks for everyone from the first book to match the busts I drew, so this is a start.

I headcannon Dulcie as an ambulatory wheelchair user, but sometimes uses a walker— she likes wheels, and after years of similar cancers her home is extremely accessible.

I also HC that the mythraeum isn’t accessible at all (like Canaan house) so Cyth uses forearm crutches, a cane, or bone constructs/beguiling corpses like Pro in trickier areas when she needs to move more quietly.

i fucking love the stuff with the ghosts in htn btw.

abigail and magnus get to be 3-dimensional and interesting and they get to use their skills to help people. they're first act shock value deaths but they were so so smart and in this one they get to be useful like they never got to be before. they get to do what they would've done, given the chance, and hold the group together. they get to actually solve the problem and offer harrow a truly healthy relationship with adults. they get to show her real guidance.

marta dyas, a one-note character who dies off page, completely freaks out when sock puppet judith dies. she's distressed, she's confused, but abigail convinces her so easily to stay and help harrow, a girl she's barely spoken to. she doesn't just get to demonstrate her genuine resolve and skill when fighting commander wake, but she also gets to be a good person, and she gets to be afraid.

dulcinea septimus. fucking dulcinea septimus. the woman on the sidelines whose name means sugar, the romantic interest who you were delusional for believing in, the unseen recipient of letters, is sick of roses and horny for revenge. she's jilted, she's angry, she's been cooped up and bored for a long long time and she's going to help you kill a ghost because what does she have left to loose.

and ortus nigenad, my beloved. talk about a one-note character who dies off page. a generally unpleasant poet who almost none of the characters respect. and he gets to be the hero. his genuine passion and love for something no one else gives a shit about is enough to warp reality and save everyone. harrow goes to him genuinely contrite and ashamed of herself, and he doesn't just forgive her, he apologizes for not doing more to protect her. he gives her a hug. he makes her feel seen and safe and real. and then. and then this is a story in which the power of love genuinely does save the day and ortus's ardent love for his mattias nonius verse fanfiction is the love that makes up the difference.

even protesilaus writes poetry. he has a family. he cultivates roses in his free time. and his relationship with dulcie is complicated. he genuinely cares for her but he isn't always what's best for her. and he, too, stays to help harrow. with no ulterior motives, no self interest, despite having never met her before, he stays to help harrow.

it just offers so much agency and depth to these characters who are so easy to write off in the first book. like, it sucks what happens to ortus, but no one was crying about him. we feel kinda sad about dulcinea for palamedes's sake, but not for her own. but then harrow the ninth comes out and suddenly they're all people. selfless, brave, intelligent, angry people banding together to help this unpleasant but desperate seventeen-year-old and i love them all so much. harrow the ninth is such a good fucking book.

Dulcie was right, he was the very best of Palamedeses 😭

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)

#HELLO back at it again #tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au #the division of labour is as follows: #dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song #if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long #pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses #he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life #cam does 98% of the actual cooking #trivia section - #you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading #cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam) #the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius) #and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first #* #dulcie septimus #dulcinea septimus #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #the locked tomb #field sketches #<< i get to have an art tag now!

[ooctlt]

favourite childhood memories, everyone?

palamedes calls his mother dr. zeta out of respect to her degree. she brought him to her work after school, he politely asked to interview willing patients, and the rest is history.

[mayasaura]

What a beautiful cruel perfect idea Dulcinea had, wanting her face to be sculpted postmortem to match Camilla's drawing of her. Even if they made it to her funeral, those zealots of truth would never know what she looked like. She never wanted them to. This is the truth, would say her corpse: who I was to you is more real than the configuration of cartilage and bone. Who I am is the person you saw in me.

yeah so sorry your boyfriend and i fused into a whole new person. yes it was consensual and it represents our agency as characters who refuse to be doomed by the narrative any longer. yes we picked a new name. what is it? uhh

WHAT IS HER FUCKING PROBLEM

#ITS SO STRANGE TOO she hates dulcies nicknames but threatened to like the ones gideon gave her #tlt reread #harrow the ninth #chat #harrowhark nonagesimus #dulcinea septimus

[lastflowerofyourhouse]

rereading harrow the ninth and...dulcie said she hoped camilla would notice something was off. camilla. not palamedes.

and now. you all know me. i never overthink throwaway lines and accidentally make myself sad. i've never done that before. but we've all read the mysterious study of doctor sex. palamedes is the boy detective. camilla is smart, and i am absolutely not discounting that, but in that story and in most of their scenes throughout the series, she tends to defer to his judgement. and surely, dulcinea would know that. even if she didn't know them that well (given that she never met either of them in person), anyone would probably have pinned their hopes on pal. so why does she say camilla's name, and not his?

i propose: because she knows them. she's right. camilla is the one who would notice, because camilla is the one with a standard for how people should treat palamedes. dulcie knows pal well enough to know that, if her impersonator hurt him, camilla is the one who would realize something was off.

of course, in gtn, cam doesn't fully figure it out, but she is the only one who expresses real anger about how "dulcinea" is treating him. palamedes is upset, but prepared to look past it.

and this just makes me so sad. dulcinea, even about to be murdered, didn't tell cytherea about palamedes and camilla, knowing that palamedes would be deeply hurt, in the hopes that camilla would notice there was something weird going on. because pal, for all his intelligence, hasn't figured out that people who care about him suddenly becoming weird and cold is suspicious.

this really is a series full of people who care about each other, because none of them can care about themselves.

#also thinking about how the one scene in gtn where pal completely looses his composure it's because judith is picking on camilla #this absolutely goes both ways for them. #palamedes sextus #camilla hect #the locked tomb #tlt #my post #dulcie septimus #cam/pal/dulcie #gtn spoilers

[arithmonym]

i wrote a locked tomb chatfic last night! pal and dulcie are in a situationship, and camilla wants to bonk their heads together. unfortunately for cam, she is NOT escaping the dyke drama.
