this time: mechanicsburg! coffee! gil’s zappy stick! and a lot of vanamonde, because i love him.
warnings for this one: child death. also, parental abuse – not for the volume itself necessarily, but because i got sidetracked into a rant halfway through about klaus’s parenting methods.
increasingly ludicrous rumors about what happened in sturmhalten. naturally.
a detail i’d previously missed: the von mekkhans have been running a bookshop as cover.
i managed to forget arella von mekkhan’s first name for so long that i ended up mentally referring to her as ‘vanamom’ for a long time.
arella: “and she beat klaus.” carson, looking legitimately surprised: “what–with a stick?”
carson has decided to take a nap.
agatha and wooster send the circus to england! which i had been reminded of with the current arc, so i hope we’ll see them soon!
then they sneak into mechanicsburg dressed as a couple, a nun, and a child wrapped entirely in bandages (….krosp. it’s krosp)
wooster’s grumpy that she won’t go to england. agatha is Forcefully Reminding Him of his situation
Anonymous asked:
Where is Volume 7 of the Girl Genius reread? I can't find it.
It was eaten by the NSFW purge :( I went through when that was announced, and I thought I’d made sure that all the reread posts were OK, but then I realized 7 had disappeared.
If there’s interest, I could be pretty easily persuaded to rewrite it.
“They were the worst of the worst - the Heterodyne’s hand-picked warriors. His bloodiest marauders, who rode with him for the sheer joy of the slaughter. They were the ones given the jägerdraught. That’s what all the stories say.”
“They took it freely. That’s in all the stories, too.”
