#ridiculously overpowered triumvirate

[maximinimaximus]

As of 2024-02-28, I don't think anyone reading GG can plausibly deny that the Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate is canon.

Girl Genius really just went straight from gently teasing an Agatha/Gil/Tarvek OT3 to "actually, the setting's major players are under the impression that this is already the case, and the political implications of that scare the hell out of them" with absolutely no preamble.

SHUT UP SHUT UP WAIT SHUT UP

Gil has never known his father to be wrong about anything, until Agatha.

Except Klaus was also wrong about Tarvek.

AND NOW our FINAL Tuesmay entry is by @lyratalus!

Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate INDEED. Stay hydrated

[professorsparklepants]

Of the ridiculously overpowered triumvirate, it makes sense for Tarvek to be the one who gets pregnant with their first child (via science! obviously), because he’s the only one without without a major political entity to rule. Also, he will be sooo happy to have Agatha and Gil pamper him—especially Gil; you KNOW Gil is going to be the one who goes baby-crazy.

I want this man pregnant so bad and using it as an excuse to get his partners to move heaven and earth for him. In a kink way.

Damnitdamnitdamnit! My finger slipped and I voted for the wrong damn one. Stupid sausage fingers on stupid mobile. I need GG to win this. Fellow GG fans, please compensate for my mistake and vote for the Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate.

Agatha/Gil/Tarvek Playlist

The ship so popular I could have tagged this "OT3 playlist" and everyone would know what I meant.

Son of Man - Phil Collins This song makes me think of them all pre-canon, although they're still maturing even now.

Oh, the power to be strong And the wisdom to be wise All these things will come to you in time On this journey that you're making There'll be answers that you'll seek And it's you who'll climb the mountain It's you who'll reach the peak

Say It, Just Say It - The Mowgli's The song speaks for itself. I will say I wouldn't object to a few more OT3 smooches interrupting theiri Sparky leaves of common sense.

I will take your side You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life And I could die To find that simple kind of love you can't deny

Mama I'm A Big Girl Now - Hairspray (movie album) The Broadway version of this song includes the villain's daughter, rounding out at three singers. That feels pretty appropriate! But I like the movie's version more musically.

Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home But now I'm just like Gidget and I gotta get to Rome So say, arrivederci, toodle-loo and ciao 'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Some Kind of Disaster - All Time Low This one's for Tarvek. He's lucky he's cute, heh.

I'm a liar, I'm a cynic I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I'm a loser, I'm a critic I'm the ghost of my mistakes And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want

Feel Better - Penelope Scott This one's for Gil and the timestop snafu. If you wanna spread it out chronologically I suggest the Tarvek breakup, the Agatha breakup, and the timestop for the verses.

I guess I loved you I guess I really loved you All my filthy life I loved someone I barely knew And now you're over there And I'm way over here What am I gonna do?

You're The Two - The Roches Agatha gets something a little cheerier for her special. It's good she already has plenty of room for them... once she gets her town back.

Jane told Betty she saw me last night She had her socks shocked off but she was tryin' to be polite We were arm in arm in arm and that just didn't seem right I was walkin' with my babies in my high heel shoes Havin' so much fun I nearly lost my blues You're the two that I want

Invincible - OK Go The ridiculously overpowered triumvirate. I think Gilgatha is more OP than Tarvek, but that suits the song just fine.

When they finally come to destroy the earth They'll have to deal with you first And now, my money says they won't know about the 1000°F hot metal lights behind your eyes Invincible

The Future Has Arrived - All-American Rejects None of the trio thought that this would be their endgame, but I don't think they're complaining. I bet $20 this would make an awesome epilogue song for the comic.

It's time to create Time to grow If you're feeling right The world, yeah, she's changing Don't it make you feel alive? (The future has arrived)

if I didn't already have a tag for them I would immediately begin using "ridiculously overpowered triumvirate"

#I mean we knew Bohrlaika's job generally #but that she's specifically an anti-AGATHA AND TARVEK clank because he successfully recognized BOTH risks #but yeah anyway lmao get fucked Klaus

I’m not sure what I find funnier: That Klaus built a clank to try and prevent the ot3 forming, or that Gil stuck said anti-ot3 clank in the timestop so she couldn’t, literal real world years ago, and it never came up until now.

[regallibellbright]

Today’s Girl Genius: Awww, they’re having a nice conversation!

Also, that panel with Tarvek between his Grumpy Protective Girlfriend and (Future) Boyfriend acting as a deterrent to assassins is delightful.

[regallibellbright]

Today’s Girl Genius:

They know each other so well. (I’m still not over The Panel from a few weeks ago. Are any of us over The Panel? Are any of us over the “Apparently Cheyenne Wright intentionally colored the backgrounds of that strip to be polyamory flag colors”?)

[maximinimaximus]

This is absolutely the Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate from Girl Genius. Well, once Gil and Tarvek actually stop to talk about their feelings at some point.

it's feminism and gay rights to have an m/m/f pairing because women deserve to have two boyfriends and guys should have gay sex with each other

[maximinimaximus]

That must be why the Foglios are powering through this story arc. So much *drama* will restart when the Ridiculously Overpowered Triumvirate collapse the time stop. The Professors could write about it for a solid YEAR.

"what's going to happen when they unfreeze klaus"

"whats going to happen when they unfreeze the generals"

Whats going to happen when they unfreeze moloch and all those girlfriends he doesnt seem to know he has
