Harrow's necromantic power includes the ability to create underlighting whenever it's necessary.
Bonus:
I'm looking up lots of words in my read of Gideon the Ninth
Thanks Tamsyn Muir <3
i love your writing
Finally inked in honor of my favorite sword wielding lesbian disaster
Ianthe 110% has sung “Girlfriend” by Avril Lavinge to Harrow within earshot of Gideon
You can’t change my mind.
"I want a god-fearing woman" good for you, I want a woman that god fears
I have a confession to make-- I only just got my hands on a copy of nona the ninth. I have read so many spoilers atp (my own fault) but none of it makes sense without context. nav's new name is kiriona or smthn? harrow is now nona but also maybe nona is alecto? who is anastasia? why are is so much fanart just a slice of life type drawing? why does noodle have 6 legs? if nona is alecto then where has harrow gone?
no one answer my questions pls
I want to reread the first two before I read ntn
also ps im posting gideon art soon so watch out
two different final versions of the gideon gif
edit: there are new and improved final versions lol

This quote by Tamsyn Muir really stuck with me:
"For anyone on the female-identified axis this is especially hard because it seems to me that most books by anyone female-adjacent have an expectation that they will comfort the uncomfortable and discomfit the comfortable etc., whereas a guy can just tell an adventure story and be done with it. This ties in with an idea that I think nowadays that good art is moral and bad art is immoral: i.e. if a story is bad it actually has to be because the lessons are bad, and if a story is good it must somehow be beautiful on the moral scale. We go looking for why the art we love is moral even if the art we love is a donut. I think this is the pressure of capitalism on time – that everything has to double or triple up in benefit compared to the time we take on it: if we’re prepared to waste eight hours on a book we had better be able to tot up at the end how that book was also feeding us in some way. That’s brand time we just used."

A SUGGESTED READING ORDER FOR TAMSYN MUIR'S SHORT FICTION FOR LOCKED TOMB FANS
1. The House that Made the Sixteen Loops of Time. 5k. It's short, it's the very first thing she published, it's sweet, you can think CamPal thoughts while you read it.
2. The Magician's Apprentice. 4.8k. Let's get into it. Simply one of the best things she's written, has all sorts of echoes for the Locked Tomb and altogether a barn burner. (tw: grooming)
3. Chew. 3.7k. Zombie fiction set in WWII. (tw: sexual assault)
4. Union. 5.5k. I love Union and think it doesn't get enough hype. Deeply, deeply Kiwi and also quite unsettling. A great follow-up to Nona.
5. Princess Floralinda and The Forty Flight Tower. 216 pages. A novella, get it from your library or as an ebook, alternatively, Moira Quirk does a great job with the audiobook. This is a fairy tale satire, as pointed and black-hearted as you can imagine. A main course & a must-read.
6. The Woman in the Hill. 3.9k. I'll be honest, I think this one is skippable, but then you can say you've read them all. Lovecraftian horror, told in an epistolary format between settlers in the New Zealand bush.
7. Undercover. 59 pages. Plop your money down (or find a pirated version), it's worth every penny. A undercover cop risks her life to investigate rumors of a ghoul in a gangster's speakeasy. Blood, devotion, deceit--everything you could want in a TMuir story.
8. The Deepwater Bride (links) Dessert. Available through hoopla, your local library or several ebook anthologies. Teen Hester Blake, from a family of seers, determines that blonde, Converse-clad Rainbow Kipley is destined to be the bride of an uncanny god. 22 pages and it'll change your life.
BONUS: self-published webcomic APOTHECIA, illustrated by Shelby Cragg. Space monsters, teenage girls & corruption, oh my.
RATING: NOT CUTE
The Necromancer is in distress. She cut holes in her brain in order to try and keep the love of her life’s soul from being consumed. She needs to get her Gideon back to get proper enrichment (IE: arguing with Gideon) immediately. Enrichment from arguing with Ianthe is insufficient.
someone talk about the Nona grief with me. Someone talk to me about the grief.
List of questions I have for Tamsyn Muir:
1.was gideon nav based on dave strider or was she meant to be lesbian jesus
Currently debating on creating account on twitter just because I need to follow Tamsyn Muir- the woman because of whom I can’t think right now
I just needed to share this picture of teenage emo taryn. She just like us fr.

'her necromancer's mouth was still puckered with a sourness that would've impressed a lemon' is just another way to say 'i was staring at my girlfriend's lips' i don't make the rules.
