AITA - being rude to my (20F) ex's (19F) new gf (4.8bF)?

hi so context is my ex girlfriend (she dumped me after i proposed but im #overit) was missing for a long time and i was like KIND OF looking for her kind of not. i ended up finding her but turns out her body (??) was being posessed by the ancient ghost of a dead planet that also happens to be my dad's ex wife (who my dad killed but like it was an accident. long story) who didn't like me. eventually me and my coworker managed to get my ex's soul back into her body.

this is where i might be the asshole but the next time i saw her was because her new gf (ny dad's ex wife the dead planet) was biting (???) her face and i called her (the new gf) a slut because like, what the fuck. but now my ex isn't returning my calls. AITA?

ESH except your ex. In one of your comments you say that you not only called the new GF a slut but a big slut. Body shaming definitely makes you TA. The new gf seems to have groomed your ex since their relationship started when your ex was a literal child. Not okay!!

Ianthe: What the fuck is that?
Kiriona(quickly putting something in her pocket): Definitely not a mouse that’s for sure why would you think that?
Ianthe: Did you name it-
Kiriona: -Harrowhark Nonagesimouse? Obviously!

yep @racefortheironthrone that is almost certainly what happened. ya know i bet palamedes also kept a notebook of comments on the all the house heirs and cavaliers. i imagine he also had a verbose notes section that boiled down to this girl sucks and i do not like her one bit. 

Screenshots from my storyboard on chapter 6-7 of Gideon the Ninth.

Very very rough, and my character design is very inconsistent, but I still like them tho

I wanted to capture Harrow's sorrow leaving the ninth house, which is briefly but kinda beautifully expressed in GtN, even through Gideon's bored pov . I feel that the "unrealiable narrator" trope of the first book (also present through all the other books tbh) could risk losing its spark in a potential visual adaptation, but Im pretty sure that you could have a really cheesy score (or mise en scene, like in this case) to undermine the drama enough that it feels like we're witnessing it from Gideon's eyes. But on a second view you could really percieve Harrow's sadness, bypassing Gideon's cringe, and instantly it's not cheesy anymore. Dont know if it makes sense but whatever.

Bonus third house and sixth house during the shuttle falling sequence in canaan house.

Something I love about Tumblr that you don’t really get on Reddit, is the brief flashes of fandoms I’m entirely unfamiliar with, like some large beast in the undergrowth.

Right now, it’s The Locked Tomb. Never even HEARD of it before coming here, but I see impressions of it everywhere. It’s like, teenagers wearing skeletons? Or something?

Do I dare seek it out? Will it wear MY skeleton?

[ID: the covers of gideon the ninth, harrow the ninth and nona the ninth next to each other, with text on the top and bottom of the image reading 'hey come closer i am a normal book series / and you will be so happy that you read me'. it is overlaid on more text, which reads 'i am going to rewire your brain / i am going to hurt you so bad'. end ID]
