We sort Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth, the first two installments of Tamsyn Muir's trilogy about some lesbian space nun necromancers stuck in puzzle-box murder mysteries. We're eagerly awaiting book three, which will prove all our sortings wrong, probably. 

These books are stories of puns, of gay gazes, of insidious horror, of direct, gore-studded horror, of friendship, of debt, and of growing life out of dead soil. It's also a story full of, apparently... Hufflepuff?

Let's chat about Bow & Glimmer's similarities in their sortings, and why it leads to such a disastrous break between them in the penultimate season; about why Catra has a hard time understanding Adora's decisions and loyalties in a new context; about how Adora puts her faith in powers external to her (her battle plans, her sword) when the real She-Ra lives inside her. 

Shadow Weaver, Bow, and our host Kat share a Secondary sorting -- and this whole television show is FILLED with Gryffindors.

This episode includes: Zuko and Katara as narrative foils -- similar characters with similar motivations and methods who start out on opposite sides of the same war; Toph, Aang, and Azula as characters with the same slippery, easy-breezy, adaptively powerful Secondary; Sokka as a rare Ravenclaw & how his and Katara's sortings & models interact with the gendered roles of their home.
