Ah, we have a new panel for me to Never Get Over Ever:

Gil is SO SMALL and trying SO HARD.

And the camera angle here really emphasizes that. This is a deep understanding of the phrase "looming over" and what that should FEEL like.

Look at the POWER that Klaus has over Gil and his friend here. Klaus could so easily take this one away too. With the hand hesitating between actions and everything. Not a word spoken and you can see a thousand choices being made between one moment and the next.

A+ panel, will live in my brain just forever now.

Zoing's speech

I would like to thank the wonderful folks in the girl genius server for joining me as soon as thenpage dropped last night for us all to collectively transcribe and decode Zoing's speech about what's going wrong on castle Wulfenbach. The best guess we settled on was:

"He came back! Gilgamesh go walk about and father came back! A scary clank lady want to fix a new body in a tank, making new brain to put brain in tank body in a big lab!"

"It’s gonna work and then she in command of the whole ship and empire and everything! It’s bad!"

Which sounds like Lucrezia is on board stealing herself a new organic body that can potentially go queen mode! Uh oh!

It was an unplanned bonus page AND IT WAS FUNNY.

(And the page before that was the biggest plot-forwarding action of the entire story arc.)

I jumped off like 8 years ago, Is Girl Genius' plot moving yet?

Yesterday's page consisted entirely of an extended reaction shot from an unnamed supporting character whose sole prior appearance was in a single panel eight months previously.

Needed one more silly banter :p (One page left :’))

also rip to this panel which didn't make the cut cause it didn't make sense tone-wise.. you will be missed

Oh, wait, I thought of something clever about this part of today's page.

Gil? Agatha doesn't need a white knight -

she literally has a dragon.

Ohhhhhhh, Professors, you are good.

Moloch does not remember signing up for this! (Tough.)

Snickering about this all day. A+ dialogue. Reminds me of the sort of absolute candor you get out of Tarvek if you stomp on his toes hard enough.

(This is one of my favorite pages. Complete filter fail. Only facts. Love it.)

...so, uh, yeah, I have a favorite Dreen now, something I was not expecting.

[leletha-jann]

I love this panel. Tarvek looks so frazzled and he's gotten through an entire glass of wine in between the previous panel and this one. Not even a pause.

Gil: "Yeah, OK, I feel that. You get another drink."

Tarvek, who comes from a family that poisons everything, seems to be expecting Gil to have his back here and trusts Gil implicitly not to poison this drink either (the previous one was Gil's glass of wine, Gil just handed it to him).

Y'all are cute, boys.

Image description: A panel from the webcomic Girl Genius. In it, Gil pours Tarvek a drink, looking concerned. Tarvek, sitting in an armchair, looks shocked.

Gil: What? How?

Tarvek: How does he do anything?! (bolded and italicized)

Gil: I've always assumed that he's so annoying, reality tries to avoid him.

Tarvek: I can believe that! (Bolded and italicized)

End transcript.

This isn't my new favorite panel but it's definitely going up there with "HATE! Hate and drugs! Lovely, lovely drugs!"

I wholeheartedly believe that the last thing that should be said in response to aspecs hating their identity is "don't worry! Aspecs can still do X, Y, and Z" and I'm so fucking serious about this.

The least helpful thing you can do to someone who have not accepted their aspec identity yet is give them ways to compensate for it. If an aspec person is upset over not being able to enter a romantic relationship, the last thing that should be done is to tell them they can still enter one or instead enter a QPR - not because that's not true but because that is quite literally going to stunt their ability to accept their aspec identity. Telling them they can instead enter a QPR when they're upset over the lack of romantic relationships is at MOST a bandaid for the main issue. Instead of them coming to accept their identity and accept who they are you have instead handed them an amatonormative alternative on a silver platter that allows them to pretend they still fit into amatonormativity without every deconstructing it. This is how we get QPRs getting shoved into an amatonormative framework - these people NEVER got over the "I'm sad that I'm aspec" phase because they were handed alternatives instead of given actual support in deconstructing their internalized aphobia, self hatred, and amatonormative biases.

[leletha-jann]

...honestly, I can see that last one so clearly it's like I'm remembering it.

(I'm pretty sure I'm not, but...am I really sure?)

Tarvek will absolutely push stuff off the table while silently daring anyone (probably Gil) to do something about it.

Tarvek thinks like a cat - 

He climbs in boxes

He hides from vacuum cleaners

He passive-aggressively shoves your stuff off the table while staring you dead in the eye
