Mind control is the One Line that a lot of otherwise very amoral characters in this comic won’t cross. It occurs to me that Klaus doesn’t seem to get this. (And therefore doesn’t get that in their eyes, he’s turning into Lucrezia.)

(And of course: he has more standards than they do, and he doesn’t think it’s a moral event horizon!) But he left the Jaegers out of his “Agatha is the Other” theory because he was sure their loyalty would override their objection to the Other’s MO. And he didn’t take any measures to restrict Bang’s authority or keep her away from Gil—so either he didn’t think she’d notice, or he didn’t think she’d care. In general, or even about Gil in specific. 

But then, that’s Klaus’s biggest weakness—he doesn’t reevaluate. He takes time to make his decisions, he gives people one chance, but once he forms an opinion that’s it, mountains will move before he does. And that doesn’t allow the fact that people change.

“mimmoth influenza” is a very serious spark-originated virus that was initially just another one of many attempts by an overenthusiastic spark to eradicate mimmoths for good that made the jump from mimmoths to humans at the kind of breakneck speed symptotic of “things that (sometimes metaphorically) turn on their creators and (sometimes metaphorically) rampage through the countryside”. 

needless to say the spark in question is dead. 

it’s mostly contained now but it’s a pain in the ass to deal with when outbreaks pop up.

Anevka, collapsing dramatically into an armchair: Grandma, I think I might be….. in love.

Terebithia: [worried enough to put down her tea] With who, dear?

Anevka: Klaus Heterodyne.

Terebithia, clearly releaved: Oh, that’s alright then.

Anevka: It is?

Terebithia: Of course. You’re allowed to be in love as long as it’s politically advantageous.

I was thinking about Maxinia’s middle names and one of the things this reminded me of was that I have a dumb little Girl Genius headcanon that Gil has at least two middle names, which he knows nothing about. Probably William and something Skifandrian.

Fuck. Did Klaus know about Klaus Barry. He and Bill accidentally managing to name both their kids after each other. Just. Leave me here to die
