poor rescued troll has gotta be scared silly with his rescuer picking a fight with the captain of all trolls
the new monster factory is about Knife Dad, who is "part wolf, part mech, part rabbit, part fox, part sunglasses, part dragon, part dad, all dad, all knives," and i started thinking about Knife Wolf again and cracked up. I love Knife Wolf
I just...I just love Erskin and Bel so much. It's like the opposite of auspistism I think. I just go, "yes, I approve of this kismesis. Please continue to scream and flail at each other, you're adorable as fuck."
Spoiler: spoiler because from planning thread Too bad Lu isn't going to turn up. On the other hand, possibly a good thing because seeing poor Lu with broken off horns and her general demeanor would break Bel's heart. (on yet a third hand, because why not be a multihanded mutant. Bel double killing Cloris would be kind of fun.)
honestly if i had the spoons for it i would love to engineer smol bel meeting and killing this world's cloris. his soul would sing with dark joy at the opportunity. maybe he can leave tol bel a note.
if that note says 'the vampire who did that to lu is still alive and will very happily do the same to erskin' i would imagine tol bel would rip the fucking fleet apart to get at her first.
Eventually, word gets through every universe where there is a bel, a lu and a erskin that cloris hunting is a thing, to the point where cloris starts picking up the psychic death screams of her alternate selves and starts getting the heebie jeebies. :D
