Girl Genius

I have always been an ardent supporter of Agatha/Gil. Tarvek is endearing, but he just doesn't bring out Agatha's best qualities, and there is always the question of his loyalty. Admittedly Gil has more to gain from betraying Agatha (you know, once he has her trust to possibly betray), but it's been made clear time and time again that he will always choose her over his own father, whereas Tarvek clearly has yet to prove himself so solidly.

And then I read today's comic, and I began to glimpse what exactly a world with Gil and Agatha at the head of it would be like. And I admit I am afraid.

Granted they mean well (mostly). And they are brave, and have strong personalities with natural leadership abilities. But they are both sparks, mad scientists, and fiddling around with the boundaries of life and death is not only fun, it's what makes life worth living. Now that they're finally working together, they're starting to feed off each other, and it's making me nervous (in a good way, naturally). What's going to happen when they finally get married and rule the world? They'll be up all night working on their latest unholy creation, and I shudder to think what sort of children they'll have. (Wouldn't Count Wulfenbach make a great grandda?) It's almost enough to make me think she'd be better off with Tarvek, who, once he proves where his loyalties lie once and for all, would probably calm her down somewhat.

But only almost.

Yay Gil and Agatha!

P.S. I promise the men in this comic keep their shirts on most of the time. She was just bandaging him up. I promise. If you don't believe me, go back to the beginning and read the whole thing. You should probably do that anyway, to even understand what I'm talking about here. Go ahead, I'll wait.
