Pyrrha says Gideon the First’s ORIGINAL name, here, change my mind:

ALT

Compare the G dash to the standard em dash above it…it’s longer and thicker, just like the placeholders in John’s speech. AND it’s followed by a comma, which isn’t standard if it’s just indicating interruption.

That’s G’s real name, and somehow not even Alecto can hear it…so what did John DO?

Audiobook folks, does this stand out in the audio version as much as it does visually??

[shayberri789]

I don't remember it when I listened, but a while ago someone pointed out that Pyrrha often uses Gideon's full name but it gets censored

And then it becomes: John said he didn't want to use U— and T—'s original names, because they weren't around anymore to consent, do he renamed them

And just the same, he killed his best friends, and resurrected them with no memories, and so the people he knew are still dead, and so he renamed them and censored their names

And the easiest way to ensure their names are forgotten for all eternity WOULDNT be to change everyone's brains on a large scale to be unable to process them, but to only change the brain of the person who was there for it all. Lobotomise Alecto. And thus, censor names when heard by Nona, or Harrow dreaming Alecto's memories.

The REAL question is how the fuck Pyrrha knows G1deon's original name, if she was resurrected without that information. Did the botched lyctoral process and being a spirit unlock that memory? Or did Vaurun tell her? They seem to be on pretty congenial terms in ntn

It's interesting how people will take "lesbians can be attracted to men" as a personal attack

You sound like a millennial version of those mumsnet bitches who have never had any sex more interesting than missionary with an accountant named Derek yet are completely sure no queer cis woman of sound mind would ever want to fuck a trans woman

[play-now-my-lord]

The advice I have gotten from older dykes mostly adds up to "do what your heart wants, fuck what the world says, make the meaning you can of the love you have". Meanwhile Tumblr people who were sexually obsessed with One Direction a single president ago are pretty sure you can't qualify as a lesbian without filing papers correctly with the government and being audited by an independent observer
