Gideon the Ninth Animatic, “We Do Bones”

I caught up with the Locked Tomb series, and I’ve gone and done a thing (animatic).

“Gideon the Ninth” audio book written by Tamsyn Muir, narrated by Moira Quirk
Music from Halo 3 OST

Boarded in Storyboard Pro

😘

I have zero context for any of this, but the line "We do bones mother f*cker" is honestly hilarious

[theholyduck]

Well, I am now convinced that animation is the only way to properly adapt the Locked Tomb. Could you imagine an Arcane-quality adaptation of Gideon the Ninth?!

"I said a necromancer alone, I have YOU" *cries in "one flesh, one end"*

[Lola_TV_]

Gideon putting her sunglasses on as she says the we do bones line is PERFECT. Also I love Harrow’s expression when she says “a necromancer ALONE”. Love this!

So apparently this is how I find out about Gideon the Ninth existing and I'm not mad about it.

It’s super interesting to me how this fandom has really latched into Moira Quirk’s narration as more or less the definitive voice acting for the characters. I’ve experienced the series exclusively in audio format and I’ve been loving Moira’s voices so I’m happy to see it being used in this kind of thing

I feel personally attacked that this isn't an entire show. I adore their expressions.

Harrow's face in "Let's bring hell first"

[KaraValkryie]

"I have you, we bring hell." Made me cry so hard for some reason.

[SnowFalls]

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE!! now I'm dying to see this as an animated show

[soggyapples]

I love the movements the necromancer does to summon the skellies, makes it feel like it has weight.

[justaghostinthesea]

I love the incredibly British "mothafucka"

[JadyLester]

I'll never stop yelling "WE DO BONES, MOTHERFUCKER!" and im glad this exists.

[baconfromheck]

I cannot pick a favorite smile, between Harrow's feral grin or Gideon's himbo HELL YEAH

[BunsGlazing]

holy shit
I never imagined necromancy in the same vein (hehe) as bending from Avatar, but it looks so fucking good

[rosemary]

The expressions and the way they move (the Lyctor whose name I forgot at the beginning, Harrow saying "We bring hell first" and summoning her bones) is so enthralling wtf..

[rsullivan]

This is hype as fuck. Also nice Halo music and the necromancy looks like bending from atla which is sweet

[sealbatross]

The movement is incredible! I love how she summons the dead at the end. The swirl! Just perfect

It's always amazing when something you're not even remotely interested in is recommended. Like a well made animatic for a series you've never heard of pops up so you look into it and find a full on series and fandom tied to it. YouTube is amazing sometimes. Anyways, great vid

[theentmarch]

yup, I've never Heard of this book until now, it's next on my reading list after I finish reading Jade city.
