Discussion thread for Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess. Beware, Here There be SPOILERS

[hippogrif]

Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Hippogrif.

Re: Tarvek Detail

He's fighting for his own identity, so that could be it; or, well, lots of families with family names use some sort of different nickname etc to differentiate them. So.

I think Gil has used Tarvek's name; but I'd have to check to be certain. They both certainly use surnames as names; I think it's a guy thing, not necessarily an intimacy thing though.

I'd agree with you on the intimacy thing if it weren't for Tarvek slipping those two times. The two times he addresses "Gil" are when Gil's dying after the SVV and when they discover Von Pinn in the basement. Both times he's concerned and upset. In general, yes, a guy thing, but a guy thing that maintains a distance.
