Corona has tanned pale skin and long wavy golden blonde hair. They wear matching purple shirts, brown trousers, and high boots.They are in profile and hug loosely with their front legs hooked together. They look over their shoulders at each other. Corona holds a gold rapier and Ianthe holds a black one. There is a ring of gold stars around them. Between their feet is a Roman numeral 3. End ID]
Rereading some parts of gtn and huh??? What for Gideon??? What for???
SO FUN FACT.
In light of the PTBR edition of GtN coming out soon, I feel the need to inform y’all that this pun works magnificently in Portuguese. In fact, I’ll be very pissed if they don’t use it for the official translation.
So the original pun doesn’t work. “Primary” helpfully translates to “Primário”, but “Married” translated to “Casado” which… wouldn’t make any sense.
What does make wonderful sense is “Marido”, which means “Husband”.
The joke would then roughly translate to, “You could say I’m a Cavalier Pri-Husband” (”Você pode dizer que eu sou um Cavaleiro Pri-Marido”)
Which, for the purposes of this post, would mean Gideon is inwardly thinking of herself as Harrow’s husband, and I just think that’s very sexy and gender of her.
