anyway re: “would Wake be a good mum?” That's not even a question, imo. She simply would NOT be a parent.

If, for some reason, lil Gideon had ended up raised by BOE, I strongly believe it wouldn't have been Wake raising her. She had a war to fight, an Emperor to kill, Lyctors to fuck and fuck over. #justWakethings

#I think BOE cells are set up in a way where childraising is communal. takes a village etc #however. sorry to say. that doesn't include Gideon #that girl would have been treated like a biohazard simply because HOW was wake to know if or when she might develop necromancy? #this isn't a moral value judgement btw. it's just that Gideon was never conceived as a child. she was meant to be a bio weapon #commander wake #elle tlt posting #tlt
