sorry im having harrowhark thoughts

htn and gtn spoilers

This is from someone else’s post but I didn’t wanna reblog their post and leave this text so here’s their thoughts that prompted this lol:

This post is kinda strange to me in the sense of like, looking at the totality of Harrowhark and dubbing her strange because she doesn’t fit our societal norms and doesn’t make excuses for it.

I think OP is right in some sense. Harrowhark is performing 99% of the time. She is a symbol. Her identity is so tied to being the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House, there’s barely any Harrowhark underneath that can be separated from that.

The Reverend Daughter is someone her house looks to as a leader. Their necromantic prodigy. The last child born on the Ninth. She gives them solace as they’re dying and raise their hopes in sermons. They love her. They kiss the ground she walks upon.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, is a victim. She is unbelievably scared. Her parents committed an atrocity and she is paying the price. She has never been a child. Harrowhark believes everyone hated her. She is guilt ridden.

Harrowhark opened the locked tomb.

Harrowhark’s parents killed themselves.

The Reverend Daughter prays the tomb is forever closed.

Her parents sit behind her in every sermon.

Not even Gideon, her “closest friend”, knew the extent of her grief and hurt. The Reverend Daughter wanted Gideon dead. Harrowhark could not stand a world without Gideon.

Harrowhark’s mask is the Reverend Daughter. She is not dramatic. She is frustrating, untrusting, and a bitch. But she is not “strange”.

She is often “classically” Ninth.

Harrowhark, bare, is a traumatized kid. She doesn’t know how to really socialize. She can’t trust her own sense of reality. She’s insanely paranoid. The only person she actually trusted killed herself to save Harrowhark.

Harrowhark, at her core, is hurting bad.

Harrowhark is the product of 17 years of not getting proper support. All she had was Crux, at best,

What kept her going was the pressure of being the product of her parent’s genocide, the guilt of that. The guilt of their suicide. The pressure to save her house. She loves her house. She loves the tomb. But Harrowhark hates herself very deeply.

Harrowhark tried to kill herself before the tomb.

Once Harrowhark became a lyctor, saved her house, and couldn’t return to bring the Reverend Daughter, that she sort of shut down?

She wasn’t allowed to die, according to herself. But she was only alive for Gideon. It wasn’t until meeting Abigail, who showed her the real support of an actual caring Adult and Magnus explaining Gideon’s sacrifice that Harrowhark can’t kill herself. That she HAS a life.

Harrowhark has always had the purpose of being the All Powerful Reverend Daughter. But what I wish for her is to just be Harrowhark.

I hope she finds tenderness. I hope she finds peace. I hope she is given safety and can learn to have fun.

I hope Harrowhark can have her own identity and learn to be her own person.

It's criminal that Gideon Nav was so clearly born to be a professional wrestler and is forced to be a sad corpse girl instead. She's meant to be a gleeful heel! Her natural habitat is performing in front of a crowd by pinning women to the mat in suggestive poses! She goes right into kayfabe in GtN and stays in it like a pro! That girl should be posting gym locker room thirst traps for the insta lesbians and she's fighting zombies instead, it's an injustice.

[theninthmember]

crucial elements of my vision for a locked tomb animated series:

First season starts with Gideon falling to her death—freeze frame, Gideon voiceover: “Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this fucking mess.”

We rewind all the way to Gideon choking Harrow out as children. Gideon says “Well, now that’s just too far.” The running joke of the season is that this memory REALLY wants to play out, but Gideon refuses to get into it. That way, we get a lot of tension building up to the full scene and, more importantly, the imagery of the blood in Harrow’s nails really sticks with the audience.

Regular jumps between the present day and flashbacks so that they’re baked into the format and the river scenes in HtN don’t feel out of place.

Gideon pauses scenes literally all the time for asides and narration, a la The Emperor’s New Groove. (I feel her voice is crucial to the story and must be preserved as much as possible in a visual adaptation. The goofiness inherent to this device is also, in my opinion, completely necessary.)

When we finally get to the season finale, and Gideon dies, she KEEPS cutting in for asides, except now she’s talking directly to Harrow, who is responding, and it’s not really funny anymore.
