I would be Chloe here.

So a Girl Genius Scholomance AU is interesting to me because on a character level Agatha is El and Gil is Orion—Agatha very much eschews the path set forward for her as a great evil and instead strives to do the best for her and Her People (notably, she and El share the same “these people are mine, actually, and I will protect them” view of the world that slowly grows to encompass more and more people as time goes on), while Gil struggles to connect with others and is deeply unhappy when doing what is expected of him while eventually going ahead with it anyway. He also has the whole monster hunter vibe going for him. Admittedly, Gil doesn’t struggle in the same way with empathy and connection as Orion does. His is more based on second-guessing others motivations with him, and he does happily and easily make friends—it’s romantic connection that eludes him for the most part.

The fun part is, when you consider their backgrounds the connections to El and Orion completely flip.

Like, Gil and El both have a side of the family that they’re completely alienated from due to bad omens surrounding them, and they were raised in a non-traditional setting by a single parent who strives to do the Right Thing (Klaus and Gwen differ in how good they are at raising kids though lmfao). You can even draw connections back to alienation from their culture—El at least knows where her father came from and speaks the language, but Gil is completely divorced from his mother and doesn’t even know who she is. They’re both barred from participating in their culture for the same reasons they’re alienated from half their family.

Agatha and Orion, meanwhile, were both Created With A Purpose by mothers who range from morally gray to totally corrupt. They both struggled to behave like normal children, with Orion not understanding or valuing human social norms and Agatha’s spark constantly straining to break through. This caused frustration and concern from the adults and mentors around them, and they were both somewhat alienated from their peers. Ophelia and Lucretia both share a certain big picture way of thinking, though admittedly Lucretia’s motives are almost entirely selfish in nature (an interesting contrast with Agatha’s own selfish way of thinking!) and Ophelia’s are pretty damn selfless, though in a very fun way. Selflessness due to ruthlessness is a good way of putting it, and Ophelia very much plays the numbers game in almost the same way the Scholomance itself does.

I’m going to have to play around with this more, because I think the way things line up is fascinating.

(Tarvek is a version of Liesel that successfully pulls off her powerhouse polycule plan.)

hey is this anything

[sgu-abridged]

SGU Abridged is a year old today (over on Facebook), so I decided to bring it over to Tumblr! You may have seen some of my posts over on my main, @sculptural-renaissance, but I thought a separate blog would be better for sharing the obscene amounts of content I've been generating.

Please enjoy this Very Special Video™️ I've made to mark my first anniversary on Facebook and to inaugurate my new side blog~

Song: "I Love Never Changing My Clothes" by Hot Dad

Eli: Isn't it weird that we pay money to see other people?

Blake: Plane tickets?

Luna: Concert tickets?

Harlan: Prostitution?

Hikari: Glasses?

Everett: I hate all of you.

SGU Week Day 5: wildcard

I'm just posting some of my most ridiculous memes here for your enjoyment~

Mr. Sandman, send me a meme. Make it the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Eli gets Rush a Garfield shirt. He refuses to take it off.

Lisa and Dale watched Terminator last week.

Pour one out for the Neopets that got abandoned because their owners got stranded on a spaceship.

"All right, Brody, you can put adding those knife blades to the sides of the shuttlecraft on the back burner. This week, we're making a blender. But like, a cool blender. A blender that could blend a guy."

"A brick."

"Yeah, well, if it can blend a brick, it can blend a guy."

"Water? You mean like in the toilet?"

Extra Dip

I think if they could move past their differences, with their combined imagination and familiarity with the ship's systems, they could generate something truly ludicrous.

This actually has context but I am not going to give it to you

[sassycordy]

“stargate universe is so serious” there’s an entire subplot in “the hunt” where eli accidentally freezes brody in a stasis pod and spends the rest of the ep trying to get him out without telling rush aha. and SPOILER ALERT rush actually knows the entire time (bc he’s the one who froze brody in the first place) and he’s just watching on a monitor as eli scrambles for shits & giggles. also eli immediately drags chloe into this mess too (soulmates) and it’s so ??? literally peak workplace comedy + “pls dont tell my dad” energy!

There's no way this can backfire. "Pathogen"

They had an unspoken agreement not to mention the Moments.

That’s what Eli dubbed them. The-Moments, with a capital M, and a hyphen if he said it fast enough. Not that he ever said it. That’s where the unspoken part of “unspoken agreement” came in.

Or; Destiny takes control of the crew, sometimes. Eli starts to notice.

[atlantis-scribe]

i'm usually not a 'they have two hands' band-aid solution kind of shipper but i really do believe adding Eli to make an equilateral throuple would fix everything that's wrong with Matt and Chloe's relationship

[judgeverse]

realized something about my faves, had to meme accordingly

edit: if there was a "gives them the wrong answers deliberately" answer, THAT might be rush

[woodelf68]

I can't believe Jouer ses cartes by laurie_ky is finally over. Nine years in the making. 344,039 words. This fic was so hard to read at first (it was written in response to another one where Rush is gang raped by the Lucian Alliance), but the author delivered on her intent to make things better. And the ending nailed it, with a surprise that I did not see coming and all the fluff anyone could wish for.
