Suddenly, a distraction!

It's a bit too soon for more silly questions, I think, but I desperately need a side project. So!

Give me a character I know, and I will tell you which of the Endless they belong to.

A responsible meme-doer would now list the eligible fandoms, but we're talking about me here. So, usual rules: if you give me a character I don't know, I'll just ask you for another one.

The thing about Higgs is he is a man of mystery at the moment. We don't know his secrets or backstory or motivation or allegiances yet.

So, like, I can assign him if you really want, because the issue's not that I don't follow the canon, but I could probably give a more satisfying (read: less pulled out of my ass) answer for another character. Your call!

Fair enough. Burton Guster, then.

(I'd call Higgs as Destruction's, myself - even when it's to protect others, there's very little left standing when he's done his work.)

Ahaha! Good point. Destruction must be having a wild time in the Girl Genius universe. Probably the rest of the family is going to have to call an intervention.

It must be where he and Delirium go for long weekends.

...okay, so, this is not going to sound any less pulled out of my ass at all, but I came up with this theory in my head just now and I like it so it is going to be your answer.

Gus is Destruction's.

By which I mean, Gus was meant to be Destruction's, but Destruction abdicated his position before Gus' time came around. Still, there's a level on which Gus that knows he's missing *something*, and he tries to find it by absorbing information about the world. All that passion on unrelated geeky minutiae... in another universe, he would be focussed on finding new ways to make things burn, brighter and hotter and more completely than previous generations had imagined.

Shawn, poor guy, is Desire's, and you'd be forgiven for looking at their antics and thinking he and Gus are a matched pair. But what Gus is yearning for - in the hidden place where his soul was never fully finished - isn't in Desire's purview.
