ok but what if aiglamene didn’t push back and harrow’s insistence about gideon’s offhand was obeyed. and they get to canaan house and naberius challenges gideon to a duel and he busts out his gay little trident knife and gideon just pulls out. a gun
this is mostly funny to me bc it’s made very clear that the ninth house, as focused as it is on survival, does not operate by the same social rules/expectations as the other houses:
ALT

[image IDs in alt text]
like it is fully established that the ninth house has No Chill and that gideon has been taught to fight for survival, while the other cavaliers primary have been taught to duel for sport.
gideon might very well have shot naberius if harrow’d had her way
none of the other cavaliers brought “powder” as their offhand like come on harrow is that even an actual thing or are you just being a creepy and violent little ninth nun!!!
if ya think about it, Jeannemary pulling out her rapier after the Cam v Marta duel saved Naberius’ ass by giving him an out. Set to face Gideon and the way she fights, there’s no doubt him and the floor were about to become best buddies. Given the rules, and one caveat being it was until the mercy call, you can’t tell me that Babs wasn’t in for one hell of a pasting, ( If he was, at most, looking at a new career as a colander and, at least, looking at broken bones. ) possibly even mortally wounded, waiting upon the grace of a nun with no chill and a penchant for dramatique timing. You can’t tell me that Harrow and Ianthe Tridentarius wouldn’t be coolly looking each other in the eye across the room waiting to see who blinked first, casually ignoring Bab’s bleating (and most definitely shitting his pants) on the floor. The only reason why Ianthe might consider conceding would be because she needed that hunk of man meat for her later banquet – and he’d be no good to her dead or out of commission: sulking under a blanket in their rooms. I’m willing to put money on as soon as he left that room he was shaking like a leaf and drenched in fear sweat. (He ought be grovelling and thanking Jeannemary.)
Wait, “powder” meant gun? My dumb ass was sitting here imagining a cav rocking up to a duel like
Personally I no longer believe it was an actual gun, since Wake’s use of a gun is so surprising to everyone in HTN (and the narration does call it a gun, not “powder”). However, I don’t think it was pocket sand either, since that is silly and underhanded and does not meet Harrow’s requirements for ominous drama (she wanted Gideon to learn how to twirl around a chain! in a matter of weeks!). Like if knuckle-knives are barbarian, how much worse is pocket sand? Duels are shown to be highly ritualized and throwing powder in someone’s eyes is just not the kind of thing that legitimizes one’s victory.
On the other hand, some people in the notes are very convinced that since “ninth cavs are necro suitcases,” the “powder” referred to must be bone powder. Personally I don’t like this answer either because an offhand is something a cavalier uses in a duel, and the way we are shown duels in the series, they are not fought as a necro-cav duo but rather cav-vs.-cav. So it just wouldn’t make sense for Gideon to carry something only a necro could use as her dueling offhand. (Also I don’t think we ever see Harrow use bone powder for anything. What is she gonna do with powder when she can spring a whole skeleton from a molar? It just doesn’t seem like an efficient tool for a bone magician of Harrow’s caliber.)
Anyways, you didn’t ask for this long-ass reply to your funny gif but I get similar notes on this post frequently enough that I wanted to expound on it. So thank you for the opportunity!
Someday I will meet Tazmuir and ask her what the hell she meant by “powder,” just so I can come back and report it to everyone who has “well, actually”ed me on this post. For now, I don’t like any of the options I’ve heard, so I choose to believe that actually Harrow was referring to PROTEIN powder. In a duel, Gideon would politely hold a hand up for a pause, mix herself up a protein shake, chug it, unpause, and then go to town on Babs’s ass, with the power of protein powder coursing through her veins. This clearly & obviously makes the most sense. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
I’m sorry, but I simply refuse to believe that “powder” here means anything but blackpowder. “gun and rapier” is, after all, a very common (and actually historical!) combination of weapons, and both are real duelling weapons. I doubt it would be a modern gun, more like a flintlock, the sort of gun most contemporary to the nine houses’ general martial style. Would it be archaic? Probably, but they are already in the deepest catacombs of the ninth, digging up ancient antiques. Harrow’s goal is to maintain the outward appearance of the ninth house, and having a cav with an ancient-but-technically-legal weapon fits the ninth’s obsession with the past perfectly.
A convincing argument from Team Gun!!!! Very good point about the Ninth antiques. Also Harrow does talk Like That so it would be in character for her to use a poetical term for a weapon rather than a technical name.
I do agree there is significantly more support in the story + context for “gun” than there is for any of the other options. One thing that’s been making me question, though, is this bit from GTN, when Gideon and Harrow are investigating G1deon and Pyrrha’s lyctor study:
So if the Ninth House does have very old guns on the premises, they are apparently keeping them stashed away deep.
Alternately it could be that a carbine is different enough that Gideon is mentally filing it as its own thing (i.e., she’s seen other guns, but only ever seen this type in pictures).

hey! is your computer running windows 10? read this
windows 10 reaches its end of support from microsoft in October 2025 - that's not that far away
microsoft will try and convince you that you have to 'upgrade' to windows 11, but a lot of people may not have computers capable of that, or just may not want to, seeing as how windows 11 is a piece of shit isn't everyone's favourite
but you can't just keep running windows 10, once it stops getting security patches it will leave you vulnerable to all kinds of stuff you're usually protected from
this is where the end of 10 project can help
End of 10
basically, it's a collection of people who are willing to help you swap from windows to linux. the website goes into more detail but linux:
is free, forever
is open source
has no ads or tracking
usually runs better than windows on older hardware*
did i mention it's free
(*i don't have hard data on this but i do have 'i switched a struggling old laptop over and immediately got significant gains in both battery life and performance' on several different computers - other people probably do have hard data)
changing operating system can sound scary, and you might have heard stories about linux being hard to use in the past, but the community has put in a lot of effort over recent years to improve it, and there are now popular and well supported options for users coming from windows who want to basically continue as they have been, but away from microsoft's influence.
plus steam/valve have put in a huge amount of work to make games easy to play on linux, because under the hood the steamdeck is a linux device, so for most games now all you have to do is tick one checkbox in the game properties on steam and it Just Works.
there’s an agenda at play
from her autobio comics:
#on a darker level #being from Hokkaido means she has reason to be personally invested in the Ishbal annihilation #because Hokkaido is stolen land #like a lot of other places colonized in the last few hundred years #if you’re sensitive to this kind of thing #it gives you a personal stake #in genocide stories #that most Japanese people don’t have #>> #idk i felt the way she handles the genocide #speaks to having been aware of that #from a formative age (via whetstonefire)
Those tags are 100% right and Arakawa has confirmed that it was intentional in an interview as she has family that are part Ainu.
So her family history definitely had a role in how she presented the genocide in FMA.
big fan of characters who look cool and tough and stoic but only because theyre internally thinking "fuckkk what do i say. how do i make friends. they didnt teach me how to do that in sword school."
Gideon Nav right up until she opens her mouth
Its like she just lets the spirit of the butch take over whenever she needs to not sound like a person who hasnt had normal social interactions for the first 18 years of her life

Sir Gordon: Oh my god there's dogs everywhere. These figs are rancid. This pheasant is so raw its going to fly away. That's not right. Why the fuck are they serving me potatoes in medieval England.
And now there's a giant green guy in the dining room. What's the matter with this guy? Fucking hell his head's off, that'll put you off your meal. At least he doesn't have to taste the food.

guys this is so 🥹 i love them
My love, I was so wrong. Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined. So close you look past me when wondering where I am. It’s Ok. I know that to be human is to be farsighted. But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living. Why did no one tell us that to die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive? Ask me the altitude of heaven, and I will answer, “How tall are you?” In my back pocket is a love note with every word you wish you’d said. At night I sit ecstatic at the loom weaving forgiveness into our worldly regrets. All day I listen to the radio of your memories. Yes, I know every secret you thought too dark to tell me, and love you more for everything you feared might make me love you less. When you cry I guide your tears toward the garden of kisses I once planted on your cheek, so you know they are all perennials. Forgive me, for not being able to weep with you. One day you will understand. One day you will know why I read the poetry of your grief to those waiting to be born, and they are all the more excited. There is nothing I want for now that we are so close I open the curtain of your eyelids with my own smile every morning. I wish you could see the beauty your spirit is right now making of your pain, your deep seated fears playing musical chairs, laughing about how real they are not. My love, I want to sing it through the rafters of your bones, Dying is the opposite of leaving. I want to echo it through the corridor of your temples, I am more with you than I ever was before. Do you understand? It was me who beckoned the stranger who caught you in her arms when you forgot not to order for two at the coffee shop. It was me who was up all night gathering sunflowers into your chest the last day you feared you would never again wake up feeling lighthearted. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise it’s the truth. I promise one day you will say it too– I can’t believe I ever thought I could lose you.

Maybe that makes it all worth it.
This has been sitting thumbed out in my sketchbook for almost a year now so I'm glad to have it out in the world now.
Thought I'd include some of my favourite stills from this:
