Thoughts on Ivan Vorpatril
Aug. 11th, 2016 11:05 pmvia http://ift.tt/2b9Iffa:
Look. I know he’s high Vor. I know that he’s (presumably) significantly less intelligent then his (in)famous cousin, Miles Vorkosigan. I know that it’s a family nickname, and everyone (including his mother) calls him that - presumably with some kind of affection. I know that it’s not serious, per se.
Still.
I can’t help but think there is something very, very wrong in consistently having Ivan’s nearest and dearest refer to him as ‘the idiot’, even in casual conversation.
