I could imagine Cara Gee as Harrow if Frankie Adams in a red wig is Gideon. They aren't pasty enough to have grown up in a lightless hole on Ceres but I'm sure makeup can fix that.

I think they're both a little too old to portray the characters as they were presented in the books. Gee is 39. If the book fans wouldn't have a screaming shitfit about that it'd be fine otherwise.

No but you might want to drink a lot to forget.

It's "chest pussy," AKA the idea of using the gaping chest wound on Gideon's corpse to stick something in sexually. In case you're unfamiliar/unaware, off of people using "bussy" for "boy pussy" as in sticking it in a cute guy's rear end, and then extended outward to every other possible thing where Tab A can go into Slot B because the internet must run anything and everything into the ground.

Yeah! Who needs a Māori actor as an explicitly Māori character, he's vaguely ethnic that's fine.

Edit: Sorry, that was needlessly rude. But there's so few Māori SFF characters, would it kill people to imagine characters as anything other than American or British for a change?

Pretty sure Gideon the First is the biggest hardest Maori you could find. I don't know many big Maori actors, maybe Manu Bennett (but maybe someone a few extra feet tall though, he doesn't really have the looming presence.)

My only strongly held GTN fancast opinion is that Aiglamene should be played by Shohreh Aghdashloo.

She should play every older badass woman. I absolutely love her presence in everything she appears in.

She just exudes that “I know, dear, have a cookie while grandma makes everything better *cocks pistol*” vibe.

Potential release date via kobo?

Good chance it's probably a place holder date, though. I'm willing to bet we won't hear Alecto news until the beginning of the year

It has just occurred to me that there are substantial parallels between, well, okay, significant lategame spoilers for both Nona and Disco Elysium: Nona/Alecto really feels quite a bit to me like the Soul of Revachol, which makes sense, because Revachol is a small genius loci and Earth is a very, very large one
