Zoing didn’t originally have a hat.
But with all the jagerkin around, it was inevitable Zoing heard about hats.
It wasn’t so much that Zoing got along with the jagers.
Just he was very impressionable.
And jagers always were talking about hats.
Hats seemed important!
Some had feathers.
Some were very, very small.
All of them had great colors.
There were the ones with wide brims.
Some were pointy on top!
Some were taller than Zoing.
Zoing always had a new hat to tell Gil about.
Till one day, finally, Gil acquired a hat for Zoing.
Zoing’s very own hat!
Suddenly, the jagers were very aware of the blue arthropod's existence.
Especially this one hatless jager.
Zoing felt sorry for that jager.
Until the jagers all tried to pounce Zoing.
Tried to snatch Zoing.
Tried to squish Zoing.
They also thought Zoing looked pretty tasty.
Gil always managed to stop them.
Even when he was not much bigger than Zoing himself.
Somehow.
Still, this happened a lot.
Especially after the Baron let slip his son needed extra training.
Zoing got very good at running with tea.
Gil got very good at fighting jagers.
To this day, Zoing remains undefeated.
I’ve been thinking nonstop about Zoing with a little cup of tea running from a pouncing jager. I’ve thought about it so much I’m now half convinced this must already be art given how well I can visualize it. If you art, would draw this, and take commish, message me?
you know, looking back, "Trouble at the Town Gate" and "Agatha vs. The Jagers" are probably the two sections I end up the most excited to come back to during a reread and i think i just figured out why
Agatha in these moments is starting to embrace her heritage, both halves of it, and use it in her own way
"Hanging Jagers in Town" is always a treat since Yay! Da Boiz! But Agatha, on account of not wanting to blow cover with her big fancy new legacy, doesn't react much. But that night when Jinka attacks to cut Da Boiz down in "Trouble at the Town Gate", thats when she first consciously and willfuly uses the Heterodyne legacy to her advantage by making the Boiz sware on it to do exactly as she says. Dimo commenting that what she did was very smart, Maxum calling her Mistress so quickly, then the Boiz doing just as she asked without any additional damages reinforces to both Agatha and the reader that she did exactly the correct actions to be a Hero and a Heterodyne (especially when you reread and realize what she said and how she said it echos the ritual of the JagerBruw!!!)
By "Agatha vs. The Jagers" she not only feels comfortable enough in her Spark to keep Fuging infront of them but also safe enough around them to bap Maxums hat (which by now she is well aware how important a hat is to Jagers) and also get all Mad Girl right back at Maxum snarling simply because they are bothering her. Once again Maxum reinforces that this was the correct action by imeditly backing off, kneeling, and calling her Mistress again. Then once they explain what they are here for and why they are here and not with the Baron we get to my favorite moment:
Oggie crying on Agatha.
Why is it my favorite moment? Because she holds him (a big scary Jager!), she lets him cry (lets him be weak!), and she only hesitates for a surprised half second in reasuring him that she Is real.
That moment, that "I-I Am" , is when she becomes The Heterodyne to both Da Boiz and me.
Her projection in Sthatlehime, Showtime, the taking of The Castle, the Doom Bell, and her declaration on the roof are all great moments of her asserting her status as The Big Loud Dangerous Heterodyne Spark!
But they don't capture how shes gentle in ways other Heterodyne's wernt, how much she loves whats hers and how much they love her back
For Love and Loyalty you know?
