very short comic of harrow checking ianthe's molars or whatever tf she was doing

what makes harryanthe so funny is that ianthe and harrow are very much textually attracted to each other but neither is capable of being normal about it and this is because harrow is suffering from a lobotomy and is in love with a corpse meanwhile ianthe is absolutely dtf but is offput by harrow showing overt vulnerability because that makes things too easy and simplistic (and, more importantly, too real)

so instead they have this incredibly convoluted thing extant between them wherein harrow, amid intermittently blasting chunks and fighting off assassination attempts, is violently repressed but keenly aware of ianthe being both the only person she can feel anything resembling solidarity with and someone she is actively attracted to, all the while ianthe is acting wildly overfamiliar and unconcerned with boundaries and tries to kiss her after explicitly stating that she views and intends to treat harrow as a sister. then later says perhaps the most fucking earnest thing she has ever said to anyone that isn't corona

which is followed by harrow's reply of, "Go fuck yourself."

also the closest they ever got to sex was harrow slicing off ianthe's arm then growing her a new one out of bone (which she took genuine pleasure in growing, btw) which ianthe proceeded to gild. NOBODY IS DOING IT LIKE THEM.

the harrow/gideon/ianthe dynamic at the end of harrow the ninth is so funny to me. ianthe thinks shes in a live triangle with harrow and gideon only for gideon to show up and be like WRONG. your competing with ANOTHER dead bitch and we're BOTH losing get over it loser. meanwhile harrow thinks she has two dead wives and a work colleague (they are BARELY even platonic *scoff* <- harrow voice). truly unparalleled

we always talk about the bone arm sex scene but can we talk about the part in chapter 4 where ianthe knifes harrows hand bc this is also sexual as hell. gideon was right about what necromancer get up to this is nasty as hell
