These Gay Asses Again

#just two dads and their kid

hey guys I'm going to leave my fawn response traumatized female character with you for a bit I sure hope when I get back she hasn't been girlbossified and otherwise mischaracterized to fulfill your own catharsis and ideas on how a victim should act and feel

sat bolt upright in bed at 12:38am to deliver this extremely hot take.

I would like posit that Gideon has no fucking idea what a cow is, and that Jod, self-aware memelord that he is, decided to decorate his inner sanctum with engravings of cattle.

If I had to choose a moment in time to take with me into eternity,

I'd choose this moment, with you in my arms

Harrow the Ninth but just the memes Part 1

Part 2

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

Part of what’s so fascinating about Ianthe is that in our cast of house heirs raised deep within the imperial core, she’s the one who seems least taken in by propaganda

When Teacher leads the group in prayer she’s the only one who doesn’t even mouth the words

Corona talks about how she and her sister were always deeply interested in learning about how the empire is run and had a difficult time understanding the justification for its activities

Ianthe seems to have understood cavalierhood as consumptive from the very beginning, allowing her to avoid the fundamental mistake every other lyctor made and prevent the most important person in her life from becoming her cavalier

Overall the picture this paints is that Ianthe simply doesn’t buy any of John’s lies - not his divinity, not his imperialist expansion, not his sacred bond between necromancer and cavalier. The other lyctors were compelled by circumstances and blinded by devotion but Ianthe chose to serve John, knowing the full cost

My rationale for House planets is as follows:

First: Earth. Only planet with water, birthplace of humanity.

Second: Mars. The military core of the empire, Ares/Mars is a war god.

Third: Neptune. Tridentarii, Neptune/Poseidon had a trident.

Fourth: Saturn. Mostly process of elimination, but makes sense to be close to the Fifth.

Fifth: Jupiter. Described as the house with the greatest size and metaphorical gravity. Magnus quotes Fifth poetry describing a great red spot.

Sixth: Mercury. The Sixth is closest to Dominicus (the sun).

Seventh: Venus. Cytherea is the birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek counterpart to Venus.

Eighth: Uranus. Also mostly process of elimination, but the objectively funniest planet for the Eighth house to center on.

Ninth: Pluto. The most distant house, a house that was never meant to exist on a dwarf planet kicked out of the formerly nine planets.
