... countdown to hess knocking on the flier window to ask for her stormthorn fibers before the pheromones soak them through Bel's sylladex entries.
i think bel already unloaded them on the patio at the direction of the knitting circle guy who was babysitting the fluffcheep. or did i forget to mention that?
Hm, must've missed it if you did, I'll have to read back. I just remember Bel not wanting to decaptchalog all the stuff in the lawn, and wondering how emailing Hess a map was going to result in her getting her fibers. *edit* Ah, yep, you're right, I just missed it! (and it was "in the hive" too. in my defense, bel and erskine are being REALLY distracting.)
(apropos of nothing- I attended grades K through 4 at Arthur Erskine Elementary, so Erskine's name makes me laugh a little every time I read it.) (our school mascot was the Erskine Eagle. we had a song about it and everything.)
Oh, Bel. ;_; I think his fatalism really gets me because most of the time he is (or thinks he should be) the thin blue line, The Knight who fixes everything and helps everyone and keeps it together. If I think about it more critically, well, he definitely wouldn't get the "most well adjusted" award nor the "sanest of the boat trolls" award. But he believes this fiction of his so hard that I start believing it and then every once in a while I get bricked in the feels when his damage shows through because oh Bel darling you really aren't okay, you just make yourself believe you are. I am so tempted to draw a pretentious picture of sad Bel with that quote, "You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering" now. #this message has been brought to you by "angst and hurt/comfort are my favourite genres and I am not even particularly sorry" broadcasting.
Cue lots of excited yelling that boils down to: Oh my sweet babies :((((( And Look at my babies USE THEIR WORDS to hash out their inter/intrapersonal problems and brainstorm their future! I'M SO PROUD! Also now hopefully Bel realizes he has the best source for "how to rabbit away from something that can kill you" techniques on Alternia for future space use.
dirty limericks don't count, right? i'm sure the crew could teach him a few. captain aspera cannot be defeated with a pail his feats go unrepeated with a thimble and string he can do anything unless you need it spreadsheeted
Spoiler: bwahahahahahahahahah OMG Erskin is so DELIGHTED at the prospect of having a lawful excuse to beat up the ship captain. I've got tears in my eyes from laughing. (And I'm at the library which makes the insane grin and laughing a bit awkward.)
Every time I draw Bel Kadros his horns are different. I need to either learn consistency or look up a reference. Or something.
*whimper* Hot Dad Bel, oh no, I have a weakness. Dammit Jesse, I have all of these feels about your fantroll and I don't think I signed up for all of them.
