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

"my fave did nothing wrong" oh yeah well MY fave fucked everything up and she's still my fave so

the bit of chapters like 75% of the way through htn are hysterical for a lot of reasons but im personally a big fan of how. Gideons going on and on about how Harrow doesn't even like her and never will and didn't even want to eat her etc etc and then we cut back to Harrow and she's in like. ghost group therapy grief counseling. post grief lobotomy. grieving so hard she's writing au fanfic
