This was in reference to how to pronounce “Armitage” BUT I CAN’T HELP IT I have to say something…
Neuromancer popped into my head earlier this morning because it’s the only story I can think of with a character whose a first name / nickname (I guess people would say, given name) is “Armitage.” In Neuromancer, Armitage is:
-a high-ranking military official with a sinister agenda
-brainwashed and augmented by technology in a Winter-Soldier-esque sort of way
-sort of degeneratively unstable
-presented as possible Big Bad in the story but ultimately sacrificed (in an anti-climactic way) by getting tossed out an airlock into space
Obviously the tweet was just a hint for pronounciation and not any kind of ~secret clue~ but…idk…maybe the name didn’t come out of nowhere?
dear pablo
this fandom needs to club together and buy you a spoon
you’ve done so much shitstirring yours must be nearly worn out
also yes thank you I was trying to remember where there’d been a character named Armitage!Neuromancer is SUCH A GOOD, you know? I just don’t reread it all that often.
