Oh, ooooooooh I like this. I like this a lot. What would happen if Lucrezia and Xykon switched universes?

Well Lucrezia in OotS…yeah that place is going to suffer. Magic is just science unexplained right? So I see Lucrezia doing her “Mad Spark” to just understand the shit out of magic, including but not limited to kidnapping wizards for study, replicating said magic with her mad lad inventions, and totally willing to use the snarl/gates as a power source for whatever world domination she plans. 

Not only that, but she is strategic, ruthless, and had her own army with the spider women priestess. I’m pretty sure Redcloak would be 100% down with having her as a leader over Xykon any day. Especially since her ability to make, you know, Guns and Lasers for her Goblin Army can give them an edge against everything else.

Basically, she is going to wreck everyone’s shit.

Xykon in Girl Genius is a bit trickier. He’s powerful absolutely, and hella evil, but is totally apathetic. There is no drive or ambition really other than doing whatever evil thing that comes to mind. Hell, world domination wasn’t even his idea until someone else suggested it.

The groups in GG has a delicate political power game going on, but Xykon is just going to upend that for the lols. He will definitely piss Baron off to be marked for murder. He may get the Jaegars on his side, or at least get them to initially like him what with their love of violence, fighting, and chaos. But if he treats them like Goblins and kills them just cause, they are also going to turn on him. Basically, it is going to be hard for Xykon to gain any allies unless they come specifically to him.

Not to say he can’t cause any damage. Given how his current mission was world domination, I see him trying to continue his mission here. Having new toys like Clanks, Lasers, and any other steampunk mad science is definitely going to inspire him for new forms of evil. Possibly will try to go after the Slaver Drones and release them since A) he’s a lich, he can’t be affected, and B) super dangerous weapon is just right there for the taking so why not take it?

Hmm, that’s a hard question. I don’t actively ship characters other than maybe going “oh they look cute together” and leave it at that. I just don’t actively think out it much. Most of the time the ships I have come from Canon because that was what I saw that most. 

That being said, here are some of my thoughts:

I do like the idea of either Karkat <> Jade, or Karkat <> Kanaya. They both have a pretty good balance with him, between Jade’s positive attitude while standing her ground, and Kanaya’s bluntness and stoic nature to offset Karkat’s behavior. Since, you know, Gamzee is an asshole and was trash for Karkat this entire time. Personally I am leaning for Jade since I see Kanaya as more of a “close friend” thing, but I would be fine with either.

Nepeta<>Equius is always a must.

Y’all know my love for Ms. Paint <3 Slick. That is absolute.

I forgot about RoseMary. We have to add that into the pile of ships I like.

There is something weirdly intriguing about Dad/Diamond Droog. Like, would their relationship be lowkey just about suits and fashion? I feel like that is more of a crackship than anything but it still interests me.

I also honestly don’t have a hat in the ring for Jake’s harem life. He can go off with whoever is the best for him, it really doesn’t matter to me.

I am also like Dave and have really no idea how Spades shipping should work, so I am gonna recurse myself on that one.

Though the idea of Belkar having Pitch feelings for V from Order of the Stick will always be hilarious to me. That is definitely a crackship right there.

More ships I like would be Celia/Roy and Haley/Elan from OotS, Hotaru/Kayla from Shoot Around, and I’ve even turned around on Agatha/Gilgamesh from Girl Genius (that has to be end game, I can just feel it). Andra/Von Pinn  from GG is nice, and I think Cucumber/Nautilus is adorable as well.

Those are about all the current ships I can think of at the moment. I’m more better with reaction to ship you guys bring me than coming up with some myself.
