Agatha: Ah, good, finally some downtime.
Zeetha: I know, let’s relax a little. Take a nice bath!
Agatha: What, no, I’m going to work on addressing all the various mad science issues we’ve been trying to fix for several books now. I actually have the time to do it! Maybe we can finally have progress!
Zeetha: In what, a year real time?
Agatha: Don’t ruin this for me!

A list of real quotes that Agatha Heterodyne, erstwhile Lady of Mechanicsburg and owner of Europe’s Most Haunted Castle, has posted on twitter

  • [when asked about a rumored Heterodyne Boys biopic] I want Sebastian Stan to play my dad!
  • Bram Stoker owes me royalties
  • I just want to go one week without discovering some long-lost late medieval artefact under a couch. Is this so much to ask.
  • Victor Frankenstein was a punk bitch
  • I was just asked if I wanted demonic imagery on my stationary. My life is very strange.
  • What’s the point of living in a haunted castle town if I can’t put pumpkins in the decorating budget. All my employees are fired.
  • Bird feeders are OUT. Fruit bats are IN.
  • God I’m so glad my aristocratic family was already famous for being eccentric and I’m still allowed to swear on social media
  • When they make a Disney channel original movie based on my life I hope they don’t hire someone skinny. Blugh
  • “I visited a snail farm today” is not a sentence I would have said five years ago but here we are
  • Shout-out this mother’s day to everyone ELSE who hates their evil mom

Girl Genius characters as Disney Channel Original Movie protagonists

  • Agatha: it’s just the Princess Diaries but with one of those fake vaguely Eastern European monarchies Hollywood likes so much (communism what communism?) instead of a very obvious Monaco expy.
  • Zeetha: you know that sub plot in the Eloise movie (does anyone know what I’m talking about) about the Japanese prince showing up at the Plaza and the staff only realize they got the info packet on the dad instead of the ten year old they’re actually looking for two hours after Eloise has stolen him away to do normal kid stuff in New York? That, with Zeetha as the Princess & Gil/Agatha/both as Eloise, except Zeetha instigates the whole thing.
  • Gil: genderbent Princess Protection Program; he’s Selina Gomez and Tarvek is Demi Levato. All the royalty costumes still look like they were bought at the prom store in the local mall but it’s like, the nice mall in the rich neighborhood.
  • Tarvek: one of those “rich kid suddenly forced to live out vastly different life style because of the evacuation of London during the blitz an exchange program gone wrong” stories where the ending is about how sometimes you have to leave your birth family behind and make a new one in order to be happy.

That’s all I got, please add your own if you think of one. I feel bad for not coming up with a Violetta one but it’s been two days since I came up with this post and I don’t care enough to put more effort into it.

Violetta is definitely one of those ones where there’s a legitimate crime or conspiracy that, for some reason, has to be solved by strangely competent children instead of any authorities. Featuring an improbably satisfying balance of school drama and high concept action scenes. Get a Clue but with + 5 spy aesthetic. Tarvek is the tagalong relative, Zeetha is the devoted BFF, Agatha is the improbably cool friend, other cousins are minor antagonists who get redeemed at the end. Seffie is involved in both jockeying for social superiority at school and actual crime and somehow turns face on both at the same time by pushing Martellus into a mansion’s swimming pool at a critical moment five minutes before the credits.

I’ll also submit Colette as basically the Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century franchise but with her dad’s souped up Paris instead of a space station.

YES THANK YOU that’s so perfect for Violetta.

Colette as a hybrid of Zenon and Smart House is something I can GET behind.

Concept: Zelda au, twilight princess fusion, Gil is Link, Tarvek is Zelda, Agatha is Midna

Further elaborated: Gil is the destined hero from Goatsville in bumfuck nowhere county who gets turned into a wolf as a magical defense mechanism, Tarvek is the beautiful princess who sits in a tower, dramatically sacrifices his physical form to help Agatha, and then does nothing until the final boss battle, and Agatha is the monarch of the shadow realm of existence who got dethroned and cursed into chibi imp form by some fucker working for the Big Bad and is now working on saving her subjects (who all got turned into monsters) & kicking ass

Gil & Agatha end up in this weird dynamic where Agatha needs to be in imp form to for Gil be human and Gil needs to be a wolf for her to be in her true form

Now that damsel in distress Tarvek is official canon this is suddenly topical so I’m bringing it back
