Tropes for Girl Genius, G to I

  • Gadgeteer Genius: Pretty much all Sparks, but the Heterodynes were notable even among Sparks.

Von Mekkan: In my experience, a strong Heterodyne will take about two hours to truly warp the laws of nature.

Klaus: Ah, I see history repeats itself.

Oggie: Who vants to be my friend?!
(Beat Panel)
Geisterdamen: (draw swords)
Henchmen: (immediately raise their hands)

    • Also Othar, especially in his Twitter updates, and Moloch.
    • Also The Other.

Tarvek: What! That's impossible! Isn't it?
The Other: Oh dear, I do so mistrust it when "impossible" is one's initial reaction to an idea.

Selnikov: Son of-- SHOOT HIM! QUICKLY!

Selnikov: As if I'd trust anyone I know to hold a razor to my throat!

Tarvek: So, Wulfenbach -- just checking -- is this going to be some kind of macho exercise where you insist on battling a potentially superior opponent alone in some kind of misguided attempt to "prove" your intrinsic worth?
Gil: No, no! I'm only that stupid in front of Agatha!
Tarvek: Drat.

  • Gentle Giant: Punch, apparently, though most people who didn't know him assume he's just Dumb Muscle. Also possibly a Genius Bruiser, though the evidence for that comes from the Jägers who are... not the best at determining who's "schmott".

Belloptix: But... didn't he have a... lighter side?
Maxim: Oh yah! He build very amuzing toys for de orphan cheeldren!

Von Pinn: I teach restraint.
DuPree: Oh, so your dressmaker's an A+ student then.

Gil: What about this one? It looks like a toaster.
Agatha: Well, it is a toaster. Sort of.
Gil: Sort of?
Agatha: Oh, yes. It could toast the whole town.

Carson von Mekhan: Sure, the Heterodynes were dangerous lunatics-- but they became our dangerous lunatics!

    • Moloch von Zinzer stands out because, like the natives of Mechanicsburg, he's a natural minion, but unlike the Mechanicsburgers, he has a certain amount of insight into Spark psychology, and can use this to get them back on target when they inevitably get sidetracked.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Said by Agatha, in the beginning. Othar thinks the entire idea is hilarious.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: "Snapper" Boikov and "Jack A'Horned" -- prisoners in the Castle Heterodyne.
  • Implacable People
    • Higgs and Zola post-Movit #11.
    • The Jägermonsters. It still hasn't been established what it would take to kill one of them, and they are amongst clanks as shock troops -- Baron Klaus shows particular respect toward them. When Maxim, Dimo and Oggie are introduced, they'd been hanging in nooses for days, casually observing and commenting on the town. It's implied that Othar conned them into getting into the nooses voluntarily.
  • Improvised Weapon
  • Indy Escape: The Rolling Fun Ball of Death.

Professor Tiktoffen: Huh. I wondered where that went on Tuesdays.

"Great. Now the crowd is trapped by the stalagmites while the flaming monster advances."

General Zog: Sir -- dere iz a time to twit nancy-boy feetsmen und a time to crush bogs.

  • In the Blood: Sparkiness is usually hereditary. Spark styles of invention too.

Agatha: I believe another forty-five point three seconds, and I would have exploded or something.

Castle Heterodyne: ... or something. Under the circir/circumstances I/I am forced to admit that yo/you are most most likely oneoneone of the family...

Agatha: Oh, yeah... I have got to try that again!

Castle Heterodyne: yesss... most likely, in/in/indeed.

"SCHTOP! Hyu horr'ble monster-y ting of Evil!"

"... Ve iz Jägerkin charged by the ancient contract--"

Agatha: We're just going to kill you, and then you'll be fine!
(later...)
Gil: I've changed my mind! Let's just kill him!
Agatha: Stop it. We're going to kill him properly.
