#himbo gideon nav

[iamanoccasionaldoodler]

I think the thing that feels really revolutionary about Gideon Nav's lesbianism is that she's not a lesbian in opposition to anything. She doesn't like women instead of men. It's just that her entire sexual world is female.

A lot of time having a gay character seems to necessitate a scene in which they confirm emphatically that they do not like the opposite gender. Gideon doesn't need to do that. She just talks about women all the time (and, lesbian character who is openly and unashamedly horny and actively pursuing women in general outside of once-in-a-lifetime romance, that's its own post entirely) and the absence of any mention of men makes it obvious that she's not interested in them.

And, as a queer person constantly having to explain WHY I don't want this or that, it's really refreshing to see a queer character who is so totally focused on what they DO want and not what they don't.

#gideon nav #gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #also p.s. pyrrha is also a lesbian she's literally exactly as lesbian-coded as gideon we all just collectively misread that part of htn #and by part i mean literally there is only one line which ever suggests they were together and several which imply strongly they weren't #L #the pyrrha/gideon/wake fics were spicier when we thought pyrrha and gideon had been in love i admit #but it was a simple case of lesbian/himbo symbiosis #and pyrrha and gideon having the exact same taste in women is actually extremely funny

so, old news obvious news blah blah, but i keep seeing people not getting this about my girl gideon nav so have to say: i think at first blush, people get the impression that Harrow’s got all the convolutions and layers and hidden vulnerability whereas gideon wears her heart on her sleeve and is just brazenly herself (a loveable rowdy himbo) & that’s the contrast. and yes, that’s there, but that’s not all. that dynamic itself is a part of their mutual (codependent) front, and like everything else in this book, it gets peeled back. 

i think the real contrast is that they’ve both got masks, and those masks are complimentary. they’re both kids who never got a childhood. they grew up tortured in the same place from very different angles with no one but each other to butt heads against. they both had to play-act grown up versions of themselves with few models for what a well-adjusted adult even looked like. so it’s cartoonish. gideon is the plucky hero of her own adventure story that will totally have a happy ending some day, far far away from her nemesis whom she’s totally not in love with. harrow meanwhile (to grossly oversimplify) has to imagine herself as someone cruel and cold enough to cope with being alive at the price of 200 other people. these two things fit very well together. gideon can play the hero to harrow’s villain, and harrow can enact cruelty toward gideon to make herself feel strong and mean (and generally just to vent anguish). the way they hate one another is a kind of mutual protection - it re-enforces the self-image that each of them needs to get through the day. but that’s the coping mechanism. harrow the ruthless bones overlord. gideon the hapless swords idiot, who thinks of nothing but tiddies & sweet sweet vengence (harrow’s corpse in various states of disgrace ) all day. and behind that they’re both tearing apart at the seems beneath caricatures of themselves that are deeply unsustainable and neither of them feels safe letting on the extent to which that’s the case. their hearts are a goddamned mess. neither of them is wearing that shit on their sleeve.   so yeah, there’s a lot more to gideon than being a swords himbo but that’s not the wild thing. the wild thing is she’s so convincing that she somehow manages to sell people on her no braincells act while being the pov character of entire first novel.

#[whispers] she doesn't want you to know she has enough braincells to feel trauma] #gideon nav #gideon the ninth #tlt #the locked tomb #come on guys #the himbo act is from the heart and that's why it's so convincing #but she's got a lot of other things going on and the scary thing is #she's capable of burrying them much deeper than harrow has ever managed to bury anything #if she ever decided to go Full Awful it would be truly terrifying & i think we're supposed to Feel That #[spreads hands at both gid's parents] #she's very like both of them and that should be an uncomfortable thought

#messing w some character design for gideon the ninth #i’ve like… barely started reading and i already love her #and harrow too! difficult as she may be #i actually have a soft spot for himbo sword lesbians and bitchy loser teen girls #elite yet tragically underrepresented character genres #gideon nav #gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #art #digital art #fanart

I AM VINDICATED! GIDEON IS NAIVE AND NOT USED TO PEOPLE AND A TOTAL DUMBASS BUT SHE IS NOT STUPID!!!

#gideon is not a himbo she just acts like one #smart gideon is a hill i will die on because i hate the gideon is a himbo thing so much because it's blatantly false #himbos don't use words like crepuscular and penumbral #making her into a nice dumb himbo does her character a great disservice because she is at her core good while still being a spiteful asshol #tagging every gideon is not a himbo tag I've ever used #i will die on this hill #but Pal has my back #and Pal is scary smart #just like Harrow and Ianthe #so it means something when he says it #tlt #gideon nav #kiriona gaia #kiriona my beloved #the unwanted guest spoilers #the unwanted guest #angry ghost thoughts

Dear Tamsyn Muir,

Is the terrible joke that The Locked Tomb is a setup for that

gingers have no souls???

No love,

Me

#slow clap.gif #this has been in my brain for literal years now #I just figured that it was too basic to mention #that everybody had already had the thought #but I just had two otherwise brilliant people be today years old when they realized this applied #so maybe the butch himbos have some good ideas after all #🤔 #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #alecto the ninth #the locked tomb #tlt theories #gideon nav #griddlehark #harrowhark nonagesimus

Every time I see a Gideon drawn with multiple bone earrings I’m like “fuck yeah that’s metal af” but also “as IF she’d walk around the Ninth with a big sign saying Harrow, please rupture my eardrums via surprise skeleton growth” just hanging there from the sides of her head.

I AM A:

— Cynical brunette overachiever

SEEKING A:

— Lovable and traumatized ginger himbo

TO:

— Greatly inflame a fandom over whether or not we’ll ever hook up

BECAUSE:

— My favorite pieces of media are Inside Job and The Locked Tomb and I’m pretty sure this is just how relationships work

#would it be weird to put ‘looking for the Gideon to my Harrow’ in my Tinder bio? #does ‘looking for the Brett to my Reagan’ sound better? #ginger himbos out there hit me up #gideon the ninth #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #tamsyn muir #harrowhark nonagesimus #Gideon nav #griddlehark #breagan #inside job #inside job netflix #reagan ridley #Brett hand

my mom doesn't like the objectification of women even if it's coming from another woman, but gives gideon a pass bc she's proud of gideon for finding enough braincells to form a complete thought (which usually consists of either boobs or swords).

#gideon is a himbo #lesbian himbo with a sword #gideon nav #so proud of gideon for formulating a single thought #gideon the ninth

[kate-bishops-waifu]

I love her your honor.

This is a safe space for everyone who doesn’t really understand the locked tomb and reads it only for the vibez - it’s what daddy Tamsyn would want
