I’d forgotten that too, but no wonder he was annoyed with Gil.
Okay but, Bang pretty clearly tortured Tarvek (and… well, it’s not said, but I definitely get the impression they didn’t exactly interact much outside of that, they don’t really reference a time before Bang started torturing him) and Tarvek got out of it by faking his death. Presumably, neither of those exactly happened in public. Which means Bang can’t be the source of Tarvek’s “consorting with pirates” reputation.
Which means Tarvek was consorting with some other pirates.
I thought Gil, probably, because Tarvek can’t have been the only one who thought Gil was a pirate.
But consider this:
New student at Paris: Miss Voltaire?
Colette: Yes?
NS: What’s going on with Holzfaller, Sturmvoraus, and, um, that very scary woman?
C: With the skull bindi?
NS: Yes, her.
C: Dupree. Holzfaller and Sturmvoraus are being idiots and Dupree is – I think – enjoying torturing them.
NS: So they’re not dating?
C: Dupree and Holzfaller act like siblings, Sturmvoraus is not that masochistic, and Holzfaller and Sturmvoraus are stupidly hold some kind of grudge.
NS: I kind of thought they were pretending not to date, because, well, politics.
C: If they were, Sturmvoraus would be doing a better job at it. Ugh, those boys.
When Gil’s staff find out that Tarvek can get him to sleep, they will never let him leave.
Tarvek is Gil’s security blanket- Confirmed
imagine:
Tarvek trying to sneak away again and it’s going well.
no one has noticed him and he’s almost to the door-
and Borlaika pops out of nowhere
“Excuse me, Prince Sturmavorous, but please return to your room.”
Tarvek scowls at her. “I’m trying to get to Agatha. I’ve been here for weeks! You won’t let me help Gil with his actual problem, I’ve already told him everything he would be able to use against the Other, and he fell asleep on my bed, again.”
“I know, Prince Sturmavorous. For those reasons, please return to your room.”
<grin>
There’s no way Gil’s not going to let him help with the actual problems, though. He’s already updated him on everything.
I figure that the whole Klaus-no-what-did-you-do, the actual problem, is off limits though.
and I don’t doubt for a second that Tarvek’s going to be dramatic when he finds out about that though
Oh! Yeah, I was thinking of running the Empire and fighting Lucretia as Gil’s problem. I can see Tarvek being mad if Gil won’t let him solve head-Klaus, although he can hardly compleain about being asked to rule things.
Gil might be hoping Tarvek can figure out and get rid of head-Klaus, but I don’t know if he can tell him about it.
He told Bang…
Oh, yeah! So apparently there’s nothing stopping him. He should really mention that then.
I love when Zeetha gives Agatha political/queenship advice.
Also kind of interesting that Zeetha calls Gil by his nickname and Tarvek by his surname.
Yeah, and she doesn’t always? She says she wishes Tarvek was there when they’re trying on armour, so she uses his name then. I’m not actually sure she’s called him Sturmvoraus before at all.
But under these circumstances I don’t think anyone’s comfortable calling Gil “Wulfenbach”. Except maybe Tarvek himself, because to him that means Gil much more than it means Klaus anyway.
Honestly, this dress is my favorite. The colors + the sleeves + the small frilly details on an otherwise plain and practical dress. Very Agatha.
2. not bad for an angel costume made of scraps from the lord & taylor dumpster
Honestly this thing is beautiful from every angle, accessories included. I really don’t like the extra belts, but you can’t have ‘em all.
3. Fur and Ferrets
LOOK AT THE DETAILS ON THIS I’m so upset she only wore it for like 2 panels. I’m including the coat, since it’s half the outfit.
4. default skin
CLASSIC AGATHA, comes with coat for limited time! Colors not included because my the time she gets a colored panel with this outfit she’s lost the hat, and I love that little thing. Also, we all know this one. Green tweed, yellow shirt, gold piping on the coat. Her hat probably matches the tweed. SO CUTE.
5. Sturmvoraus F/W 1892
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this looks way better in person than on the signal.
6. Plaid Piping
This is like, the only alternate outfit Agatha gets during the circus arc, and I really love it! It’s the first time Phil put her in a darker color scheme and it works well.
7. Time to meet with foreign dignitaries
A lot like #1, with the sleeves and the small frills. I’ve said it before, but I do love how Phil makes corsets as outerwear look like the feminine equivalent of a waistcoat.
8. I’ve been workin’ on the railroad.
I didn’t like this one at first, but it’s grown on me. I do love that it’s a newer corset shape that doesn’t totally cover the bust.
9. If I’m going to stalk the underground I need real pants
I’m still 50/50 on Agatha in orange, and I really don’t like how her hips look in these pants, but the brown details on the shirt and the collar look great, and the silhouette is nice.
I’m still sour that so many people came out of the woodwork to remind me that Gil speaks fluent French when I called his attempt to disguise his voice a bad French accent. I was perfectly cognizant of this at the time, but he is 100% Poirot-ing it up anyway. I know what I said. Don’t come into my house. Gil’s fake accent was terrible.
Yes. Yes it was. As evidenced by the sentence “the flow of time… she is stopped, yes?” when both flow and time are “male” words in French. And it’s only one of the reasons why this turn of phrase doesn’t make sense in either English or French. He might be fluent in French, but he’s terrible at pretending he’s a French speaking bad English.
@lizasweetling: hey, yo, you said like you were sad that Agatha’s outfit with the hat wasn’t in color, so I colored and it turned out good so here you gooooo-
