shoutout to hozier for dropping a new batch of fanfic titles

not to srs post but I do think the saddest interactions in tlt are the ones between Jeannemary and Gideon. like. when Jeannemary talks about going to the front and Gideon recognizes the horror of it. girl that's u!! u also have wanted that!!! and she has this compassion for Jeannemary that she totally lacks for herself, either in spite of or because of how similar they are, how obviously Jeannemary is Gideon at fifteen. heartbreaking.

also in our no atn news wasteland I have seen many posts like "reminder this is a tragedy you can't cancel the author if your ship doesn't go canon" and others like "I'm going to die if the ship doesn't go canon" and still others like "I think it's all leading up to their demise" okay but my attitude is this. First of all if they die together it's canon and I'm counting that as their marriage. secondly come ON you think they won't kiss?? everyone else has! and I mean everyone. She made jarpedon canon. Thirdly come ON you think Gideon is never going to speak to harrow again??? Ortus who died in chapter 2 of book 1 spoke to harrow again. Fourthly COME ON you think they're not running away together????? lesbians are fucking constantly running away together in her stories have you read the rest of them she believes in love. and bloodspray. My point is not that I think we're going to get an unambiguously happy ending my point is if you add a million events per book (constant temptation for tazmuir) statistically nearly everything that could happen is likely to happen meaning that among other things gideon and harrow's mouths Will be meeting and you can quote me on that when atn comes out

I love a tragedy I love angst I love to feel shrimp emotions never before felt by a human but my guess is there's just too much book per book for it to be a straightforward tragedy
