A scientific consideration of cultural preservation in Gideon the Ninth

HYPOTHESIS: the Venus de Milo is in Canaan House

REASONING: John is keen on decoration (the rest of Canaan House, the Mithraeum, his fancy baby-bone crown). John has strong opinions on preserving things he considers ‘worthy’ (the earth, his friends, Shakespeare). Why not famous art? Canaan House is filled with old and rotting portraits - they can’t ALL be of Cyrus and Valancy.

EVIDENCE:

There was a single statue at the end of the corridor where it turned left. It must have once been a person, but the head and arms had been lopped off, leaving only a torso with beseeching stumps. - GtN p130-1 (when Gideon is looking for Harrow)

beseeching stumps?? It’s simply got to be the Venus de Milo. No stumps plead more tenderly:

But she has a head! I hear you protest.

Aha! Now we come to Palamedes and Camilla doing psychometry to figure out the age of Canaan House:

"Fiat lux! If you want to talk improbable, let's talk about this"-a scrape of stone on stone-"being three thousand and some years older than this." A heavy clunk.

About 3000 years older than another part of Canaan House? Hmm! And what’s that Camilla is holding?

“Standing next to him holding a big wedge of broken sculpture and the flashlight was a tall, equally grey-wrapped figure with a scabbard outlined at her hip.”

“The cavalier narrowed her hooded eyes, fidgets gone and absolutely still; then she exploded into action. She dropped the wedge of sculpture with a clonk, drew her sword from its shabby scabbard before the wedge had bounced once, and advanced.”

SCULPTURE!

CONCLUSION: the Venus de Milo IS in Canaan House! However, it was decapitated by known practical thinker and simp Camilla Hect so that Palamedes Sextus could do his carbon dating easier without tiring out his necromancer noodle arms

SECONDARY CONCLUSION: Camilla was going to use the head of the Venus de Milo to bash open the laboratory hatch

Camilla and Palamedes are just... everything to me. God. I don't read them as romantic or platonic or QPR, though I can totally see all of those readings. To me, they are the perfect embodiment of the necromancer/cavalier ideal. They did it. They got it right.

Think about it. Think about all the duos we see throughout the series. The Second House feels more like coworkers than anything. They work together very well, but there's not enough devotion. The Third House is a mess. Coronabeth and Ianthe have got one flesh down, but not one end. They care about each other like hell, but they don't agree with each other. And let's be real here, neither of them care about Babs. The Fourth House are just siblings, the Fifth House are married, the Seventh House... well, we all know what happened to the Seventh House, and the Eight House necromancer is eating his cavalier alive. Gideon and Harrow get the closest at the end of Gideon the Ninth, but their also very traumatized teenagers, and more codependent than anything else.

But Camilla and Palamedes? They did it! They got it right! They understood that the cavalier can't be the only one to sacrifice, that the necromancer must be willing to do anything for their cavalier too. They'd kill and die for each other, they'd do whatever necessary to keep the other one safe and happy. They're so in sync and so in love. They ate each other like binary stars to keep their love intact even if they as individuals couldn't be.

I just. I love them so much. I would actually die for them.

There is no way of softening this. Coronabeth Tridentarius has already been radicalised.

Camilla Hect's opinion is that the whole Tridentarii stratagem was the initiative of Ianthe Tridentarius. Though I was taken in by the twins' swindle I am not taken in by this. Coronabeth Tridentarius has never been party to anything she did not want to do, and never successfully carried out a plan she didn't think up first.

"In point of fact that's not actually Crown's boyfriend, Nona, it's her sister, but I don't think anyone could blame you for getting confused."

All four pairs of their eyes belonged to other people. Pyrrha's deep brown eyes really came from her dead best friend, and Camilla's clear grey eyes should have really been Palamedes's, and vice versa with his wintertime irises ... "You see," Palamedes had said to her, "the eyes are a dead giveaway. When you give yourself to someone else, their soul shows in yours by the eye colour; that's why you'll never see me looking out of Camilla's face with my own eyes again."

"He's going to know, Hect. You're killing each other."

"It's our choice."

"He's going to ask."

"Do what you're good at," said Camilla. "Lie."

"Hect, you're not listening. It's killing him too - ."

"It was good," said Camilla, and her eyes closed. "It was good. We were happy."

"I don't let go," said Camilla. "It's my one thing."

Thinking about the Lyctors and their cavs.

#It's funny how the second gen all managed to subvert the first Lyctor's fates in different ways.#Ianthe ate Babs and extracted Corona from BOE. Harrow kept from absorbing Gideon through any means necessary. Cam and Pal Pauled.#I've seen posts talking about Mercy/Harrow parallels before but even the tiny peeks we get into their cavs are SO #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth my beloved #tlt spoilers #htn spoilers #harrowhark nonagesimus #ianthe tridentarius #palamedes sextus #mercymorn the first #augustine the first #gideon the first #gideon nav #coronabeth tridentarius #camilla hect #cristabel oct #alfred quinque #pyrrha dve #I was tempted to do little branching things relating everything Augustine said about Cristabel to Gideon but refrained.#(kind to children->one of them definitely etc)#The way I knew exactly where all the quotes were except for then ntn ones. Still need to memorize it lol

Nona is a perfect book, even though it broke my heart and left me emotionally devastated, because it took my three favorite side charecters and made them a raise a child together.

And they were so good at it....

When The Skeletons Cry (AKA, Locked Tomb characters in the broad style of a When They Cry VN, ala Umineko or particularly Ciconia), Part 1: Sixth House Edition!

A little bonus under the cut.
