Bones And Autism

the hill I die on re: griddlehark characterization is that gideon is canonically tidy and harrow is not. Because gideon needs some small sense of agency over her own life. similar to how she's always working out because she needs control of something about her own body. Harrow isn't as careful with things that belong to her

don't get me wrong harrow is living by a set of strict rules that keep her functional but those rules are not legible to anyone else and they don't involve taking care of her body or doing her laundry

Palamedes and Harrow both instictively recognize each other as kindred spirits, but for Palamedes it means a partner and for Harrow it means a threat

Yknow when I was reading GtN I imagined Gideon's mom as this waifish anime mother, like those that have a disease that makes them lie in bed looking perfectly healthy and then die. I was not expecting her to be like if Princess Leia hatefucked Osama Bin Laden
