Reasons to give oneself a lobotomy, according to Harrowhark Nonagesimus:
1. Your nemesis/only friend sacrificed herself for you and you don't want to permanently eat her soul
2. God maybe had a threesome with two of his Lyctors before

One thing I find interesting in the Nine Houses is the weaponry. All of it real, Renaissance-era stuff. But you only see one polearm, G1deon's spear, which he uses as an offhand(at least when in the Mithraeum, he probably only uses his rapier as a sidearm when doing solo missions). Harrow knows what it is, so it isn't a foreign concept, but the weapon of a soldier in the Cohort appears to be a zweihander, a large, two-handed sword, referred to as a longsword in the Houses, which was a weapon meant for frontline soldiers to deal with enemy pikemen, not for formation fighting. Cavaliers use rapiers with an offhand of choice, yet rapiers never saw battlefield use IRL, and if defending the necro is the purpose, wouldn't you want a shield, especially with many enemies the Houses face using firearms? Also, the Houses don't have any firearms, even the ones that were used at a similar time to other weapons they used, but are fully aware of their existence. They also have small shields like bucklers and targes, so it probably isn't a case of not knowing what shields are.

the high school griddlehark au that exists in my head. harrow “freak catholic girl on the verge of deconstruction” nonagesimus and her loser enemy? girlfriend? (their peers are unsure, but also don’t really care enough about them to speculate) gideon “you’re lucky your dad is the principal, how can you wear these shirts to class” nav-gaius. harrow is going to buzz her hair and start getting into tarot cards during their second year at college

hope you’re having a good morning! it’s a lovely day to remember that Harrow said Gideon’s name as she died even though she physically couldn’t remember it at the time
