Gideon’s shades are mirrored, right? Which means when she first met Cam and Pal, their first impression of her was a massive black shadow with a skull face and glowing eyes (her shades were reflecting Pal’s flashlight). What an introduction.
omg! they say. you can’t draw griddlehark as la pieta!!! isn’t that a little oedipal?. little do they know i do what i want. and it probably is oedipal.
i want gideon to be allowed to dress herself sooo bad. fuck ninth vestiments fuck lyctoral robes fuck cohort uniforms fuck prince kiriona gaia white suit with silver accents fuck it all. let my girl wear cargo shorts and combat boots let her purchase her tshirts a size too small on purpose. give her sweatpants give her sun’s out guns out. give her goofy patterned socks. let her be comfortable let her be happy let her PICK OUT HER OWN OUTFITS. she would dress like an idiot but dear god hasn’t she earned it.
aesthetically I think Kiriona looks best in white and gold but THEMATICALLY I think the choice to put her in white and silver is good, specifically because it really doesn’t fit. she has gold eyes. she has red hair. she was practically designed in a lab to look good with warm tones and yellow metals, and silver does not fit her in the same way that, inherently, being a Tower Prince does not fit her. she’s dead and depressed and all her dreams have turned to ruin, and it should show in her outfit too. saddest girl in the whole world :(
IMO it’s very important that Gideon the Ninth is a corruption arc…. Gideon starts out stuck and indentured and abused, but also more free than she will ever be again. And she loses that!!! She gives it away, piece by piece—on the shuttle, in the labs, in that goddamn pool—her entire self chipped away and replaced until she’s throwing herself on a spike yelling “For the Ninth!”, a place she holds no affection for and that she spent her entire childhood trying to escape. like:
