Girl genius modern AU where Gil, Tarvek, and Agatha get carried away during a school project and the bomb squad has to be called in.
...and this happens about once a week, on irregular days. They always have a good reason it wasn't their fault.
"good"
After a while every emergency service and quick response squad has the school's address on a post-it note in their vehicles. There's a second post-it over that that just says "NO".
Girl Genius + Tumblr text posts, âWhy Are These Panels All So Narrow Youâre Going to Make Me Cryâ Edition. (more)
Gil knows his father well.
The Storm King contenders
And why do I think Seffie will win?
3rd
When asked by Krosp if Orotine's supporting either Tarvek or Martellus; she says "Martellus is a distance third at best".
1st
Everyone knows Travel had the best claim.
So he was the first place.
He's the oldest surviving heir of his family, and the boy.
His older sister pre-deceased him.
For a while it looked like Gil could have been the second best choice.
Because both times the option of Gil being a storm king candidate is mentioned, it's with something else mutually exclusive that's turned out to be true instead. That Zeetha's his sister, and that he's a Martin prince.
2nd?
And Orotine does give Gil advice, like she was created to do for the storm king.
But Gil even points out that she's done this because Tarvek asked her to. Not because he's really in the running.
(Also Zeetha and Gil having the same mum kinda ruled this possibly out.
She is a Queen but the Skifand royals aren't in the line for the lightning crown, and neither is their dad, Klaus).
1st
So why can't it be Tarvek?
Reports about his demise haven't been exaggerated
He's dead technically lol. The still moving about, and breathing thing doesn't count for succession rules.
And he's not the one who knows.
Who knows?
Agatha and Violetta know but would never say.
(Violetta is a cousin from Tarvek other side of the family).
Von Zinzer definitely knows, he shouldn't say, but it's possible he would on accident?đ€·
Zola seems possible, but unlikely. She's shown as not near them when Agatha kills the castle then Tarvek; before both get brought back.
(Though she's sneaky and was nearby the original attempt).
But the biggy is that Klaus knows.
Gil tells him as about the the reanimation process as a way to try to explain his trust in Agatha and Tarvek.
"While at castle Heterodyne, I underwent a modified si vales valeo procedure that included both Agatha and Prince Stumvarous as well as myself." (Agatha H. and the Siege of Mechanicsburg page 422-423)
It's even lampshades that Klaus always finds out when royal resurrects themselves. đ€ŠYes, because some idiot had to go and blurt it out like a numpty, Gil.
Ok, so it not Gil, and he was never in the race.
And Martellus was still described only the 3rd option. (Krosp's also been giving Martellus the good advice, to give his claim to the crowd. Because it's killing all the the creatures who care about him, and he cares about).
And Tarvek isn't the first as he's now disqualified.
So why do I think Seffie is above her brother in the rankings?
Because the guy family nickname is Tweedle lol; and that's the nickname you give to the cousin you don't like, who's a twinđ.
Especially if you think their not the brightest bulb. Tarvek definitely thinks Martellus is both a prick and an idiot, but seems fine with Seffie.
Seffie appear to have been spared the other half of the nickname because of this.
Ok so if their twins; then boy should get it right? Cus same age, and he's the boy...
But their not anymore. Martellus is now two and half whole years younger.
So is Tarvek.
Which is why Orotine even say that there's a debate over the rightfully heir.
She is the muse of geometry. As Gil says "basically Mathematics".
Lady muse had done the maths, and it no longer adds up easily, because now there's not a difference in ages between Tarvek and Seffie.
Which explains why pre time skip Tinka, Moxana and Otilia all accepted Tarvek. Now who knows.
'Hummm but what if girls simply aren't in the line for succession?' I hear you ask đ
See I got you. Travel was only in the line for the lighting crown through his mother.
In purely patrilineal system Tarvek would have never had a good claim. Most likely being passed over for Tweedle.
And Orotine tells Martellus he'll need much more than the support of two popes, and an army.
What a success heir needs is the support of the muses.
And she gives for both Tarvek and Seffie. (Even Tarvek asks if she's mind advising Gil in his stead).
Seffie's good claim is even the reason that Grandma is pushing soo hard, for Seffie to have a political marriage to Gil.
Even if Grandma's old fashioned attitude was telling her to step back from going for the crown directly.
What Seffie ultimatly needs is the muses backing, not the 50 families.
The world has shifted with Agatha and Colette ruling their own cities. It's no longer only Alba all alone in a boys club.
I think Colette is going to be one of the biggest power's Seffie corner, supporting her claim.
So yer Storm King and the Master of Paris. Cus aren't they an adorable power couple. đ
AU where every time Agatha gets in the science zone and hums it sounds like a perfect rendition of gasolina
general âmammaâ gkika is basically my favorite, because apparently i have a // t y p e // and it is very large, dangerous women who could probably rip me limb from limb \ * u * /
more Bang expressions!Â
You forgot the best one
I drew this! They look adorable! (The blush was the original vision but without also has a very nice vibe so you get both) This took many sketches.
Pairing is Gilgamesh Wulfenbach and Tarvek Sturmvoraus from Girl Genius.
I needed content for my health. So I made it.
Edit: realized the blush looked wrong so I fixed it. Here's the update.
Iâm kind of a teensy bit obsessed with the idea of these two being honest with each other. ffs.
Also I was very nearly too tired to finish drawing this tonight and I think it shows. oh well.
guy who yells out âIM GONNA FUCKING LOSE ITâ before letting out the gentlest, smallest scream youâve ever heard in your goddamn life
Update on the House Sturmvoraus embroidery!
Chugging along, continuously undermining myself by making changes on the wings because 99/100ths of the way through them I pulled a me and started wondering if I should do a different stich. But not being able to decide what stitch.
HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you fucking believe they did this. On my birthday.
Local Man Regrets Everything, But Especially That One Thing.
(anyways, it's done!!!! I think this is the first time I've drawn him and not wanted to give up art entirely after trying.)
Itâs really fascinating to compare the way Agatha handles the Heterodyne Legacy compared to her father and uncle. Because these are the two known generations of âHeroicâ Heterodynes after a long, long legacy of the Heterodyne family being known primarily as Evil Bastards - but they have such a totally opposite relationship with that villainous legacy.
Bill and Barry grew up deep inside that Evil Heterodyne Legacy and know all about how truly rotten it really is. Their father was an Old Heterodyne to the bone and an Extremely Reprehensible Human Being. Like, not just Cartoon Evil Overlord stuff - according to the Novels, he forced Bill and Barryâs mom to marry him by threatening her family. And he tried to kill them because they werenât evil enough to his tastes.Â
And when their mom killed him to protect her sons, the Castle killed her in retaliation. The very manifestation of the Heterodyne Legacy has cost them their beloved mother who just saved their life. And all of this in addition to the fact a non-evil Heterodyne was really an unthinkable concept when the Boys started - meaning they had to work extra hard to distance themselves from their family if they wanted anyone outside of Mechanicsburg to trust them.
And Heterodyne Boys worked very very hard to prove to the world that theyâre not monsters. Both to fight off against the constant suspicions that they were monsters, and because they most likely wanted as little to do with their fatherâs legacy as Spark-ly possible. For them the Heterodyne Legacy was mostly kind of a Curse, the thing that tormented their mother and killed her and almost killed them, the thing that makes people wary of them.
And as such, they distanced themselves from anything thatâs even remotely to do with that old legacy of monsters, from anything evil or scary or messy or ugly. Much to the chagrin of the Castle, the House of Heterodyneâs many other monsters, the Jager Horde Mechanicsburgâs proud Evil Minion population and many others who felt abandoned by them for the sake of PR.
Then thereâs Agatha Heterodyne. And itâs not just that Agatha grew up in a post-Heterodyne-Boys world where the general populace associates the family name less with evil barbarous mad kings and more with good-natured heroism. Where even those who remember the Old Heterodynes are at least willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Where even those who would like her to be like the Old Heterodynes are at least willing to give her some wiggle room to express herself....
It is all of that, but more importantly Agatha didnât grow up as a Heterodyne at all.
She grew up as Agatha Clay, with the Spark-Suppressing Locket that dulled her mind and made her a miserable klutzy mess who couldnât do anything right. She grew up hating the constant feeling of being powerless.
And discovering that sheâs a Heterodyne came up⊠pretty close to realizing sheâs a Spark, and both of these revelations gave her a certain kind of Power that she never got to have before. She is now both a powerful Spark and a powerful political player in this grand Europa political chess board.Â
And as much as she has the same heroic values and upbringing as the Boys did (courtesy of Barry and the Construct Duo), not growing up so up-close-and-personal with the worst consequences of the Old Heterodyneâs evil means sheâs not as immediately repulsed by it like the Boys were.Â
She encountered all of these old monstrous pieces of the Heterodyne Legacy - the Jagers, the Castle, Mechanicsburg, even just the fear her name can put into peopleâs hearts - not as the Evil Legacy Forced Upon Her. But stuff that was taken away from her, and she had to earn back. And in a world stacked so heavily against her, so determined to rob her of her agency and newfound sense of power, these things represent the assertion and security of her power.
For the Heterodyne Boys, the worst thing they could ever imagine being was monsters - like their father and the rest of their family was. For Agatha Heterodyne, the worst thing she could imagine is being powerless again. She would take being seen as a monster a thousand times over being condescended and ignored ever again.Â
Being seen as a monster isnât actually all that bad at all, she discovered.Â
All of these things together make Agatha not quite the second generation of Actually Heroic Heterodyne or just another link in the Old Heterodyne Legacy - but another new kind of Heterodyne altogether. One that can both retain a moral code and embrace the familyâs monstreness at the same time.Â
