reading nona the ninth and shaking my head the whole time so the people on the train know i don't agree with building cow walls

Confession:

I made a post on this very hell site, maybe a year ago or so, where I admitted my suspicion that the locked tomb is some kind of scifi horror goncharov given that every post about it seemed utterly buckwild but also totally disconnected from every other post about it id seen except for being the same genre of unsettling

Someone responded to that post with something along the lines of 'sorry, it's all real, even God's cow wall'

This response haunts me

I don't know what God's cow wall is. I have no context for God's cow wall. I've seen no other post about God's cow wall until this post today

I lose sleep contemplating the implications of God's cow wall

The only thing keeping me going is that this lack of context means I can convince myself that this is a wall *for* cows and not a wall *of* cows

I don't dare to actually read tlt and risk having my protection of ignorance ripped away from me

People keep telling me Cow Facts now and it's gone from interesting to alarming real fast

Why does everyone suddenly want to share that cows watch sunsets?!? What does it mean?!?

Our laat year Plant Physiology class lasted literally three hours, I sat next to the only girl I remembered from the year before and took notes. I looked over at her notebook and saw an ecxellent drawing of Gideon and Harrow kissing.

"Oh, are those the Locked Tomb lesbians?" I asked, spotting a possible shared interest.

Her eyes lit up like stars. "You read the Locked Tomb? What book did you get to?"

And I, sweating like a pig and feeling like I just failed a very important test, confessed that I honestly thought The Locked Tomb was some kind of Creepypasta and had no idea there were books that aren't fanfiction about it.

Somehow we're still friends.

“gideon the ninth…are you used to a heavier sword?”

We all have that one piece of literature/media that’s like “many people I know, like, and respect really love this and every time I try to watch/read it I feel like we are living in different realities and there’s no way people like this” and mine is the locked tomb series. Like it’s ok that you guys like this but every time I try it again I’m like “no they must be gaslighting me this is so poorly written and conceived”

I think a lot about his

Prints are available on my ko-fi page

Utterly blown away by the kind words and responses to the previous Harrow piece everyone! ❤️

Here’s the matching Gideon Nav, in the same Alphonse Mucha x The Locked Tomb series! (I know, armour isn’t strictly canon, but it’s badass, so yeah. No apologies) Enjoy!

PS: Both this and Harrow will be available in 11” x 17” print form at Otafest this upcoming weekend! (I’ll be at the charity Sketch Drive all three days) Anyone who won’t be making it out but would like to buy a print, message me directly so we can figure out how to ship it to you! :)

ianthe's little cannibalism moment except it's not little, it's 15 pages long, enjoy!

(this took a total of 115 hours, waw, i am still sick as all hell, so feel free to leave me all ur thoughts in great details, i will read them.)

you ever think about how canaan house is probably the most life gideon’s ever seen?

this has been sitting in my wips forever, so i decided it’d be better to post some version of it than let it languish in procreate forever.

edit: due to popular request, this piece is now available on my shop!

(ps: merry christmas eve! you can't see but we just hit 10k on here... my christmas gift to the world, thank you dearly)

Love these fools, rereading GtN knowing what an unreliable narrator Gideon is and learning more about the other residents of Canaan house from HtN just makes it so much funnier thinking about how these two goofs manage to look like proper terrifying, super intimidating nuns of the Locked tomb but really..

neurotic necro-nerd and her fake goth jock, both CRIMINALLY unsocialized.

Can’t believe I had never drawn the canon griddlehark coffee shop au please forgive me

It's been a year since i first read Gideon the Ninth and the brain rot is going strong

Reading progress: 443/443 (100%)

Read through since last update: 167

Without further ado, my thoughts:

Every day those skeleton lesbians are on my dash beating the shit out of each other or making out or playing mario kart. I don't even know what kind of media the locked tomb is. Is it a tv series? A collection of plushies? A webcomic? A limited edition beverage with an oddly detailed lore behind it? Perchance. All of these questions and more could be solved by a simple google search, yet I kind of like having something that I have no context for - or understanding of - cross my dash occasionally. Adds a bit of spice. McGriddle and Shark? I hope they get gay married. I hope this isn't a queerbaiting situation or whatever. I hope they have lots of skeleton babies and their coffee shop continues to thrive. I hope they finally kill the onceler.
