¿Por que no los dose?
So the robots literally worshipping her is nothing - makes sense, given how little she cares for the New People - but an Etheric Being saying he realized she's Etheric and not Human is somehow creepy??
TBH, none of this rings true, to me.
No stabbie? No Loup-kebabs?
Kat prly just wondering whether it is best to be disregarded or elevated by the emotionally unstable deity god thing
goose bone moment?
Both, I think.
Awww... that's sweet. I think.
My worry about this change in Loup is that it seems to be predicated upon his relationship with Lana. Will all this charity and reconciliation go by the wayside if something happens to Lana or if the relationship ends?
Angels. Always performing miracles and not knowing it. What ch'ya gonna' do, eh?
Seriously, Loup, you've been the dead goose next to a river for too long.
KAT "Loup, I am NOT your 'wing-angel'."
I'm really not sure if that's a good thing or not... this story has the potential of backfiring really hard I feel like
Everyone calling her Angel genuinely caused me to forget kat's name. Good thing the author comment was there or I'd be hopeless.
finally. i hate it when characters aren't aware of each other hijinks. the fact that kat knows of the whole angel thing, not just from the crazy cruise ship robot but from loup is fantastic. is she going to deny those claims? i'd love it if annie asks her to clear up the issue
If his new-found kindness would only depend on his level-estimate of Kat's greatness, it'd be a bit unreliable, I'd say. So let's hope all works well with Lana for years uncountable :D
Offettered? Flattended?
The answer is both
Omg! Robot is Loup sent back in time! They're both devoted to the angel and this is why Robot knew that Jerrick was Loup.
It's can't be Loup. Jerk does not see the Etheric Kat. Annie knows what Kat looks like in the Ether, and Jerrod is not describing what Annie has seen.
Okay, so we are playing a dangerous game, here, but god knows I love a good heartbreak

Hmm. Reynard asks good questions! (But) What happens when Lana says, "It's not you, it's me." ?
She could always try being offatered, or flattened.
All right, Loup (and I love him but) sounds like he's insincere because what he says is really shallow, and it's easier to believe that he's acting than that he's so dumb-love-struck. "If this were a lie, couldn't you have come up with a much more convincing lie?" sorta thing. I don't know which it is though, or if it's something else.
Heh heh heh heh XD
Loup and Lana sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.
Congrats Kat you are now a God.
Elevated above all the other humans... it is kind of a left-handed compliment.
Maybe both?
Loup used to be a terrifying cosmic force of whimsical malevolence but now he's getting laid regularly and is chill. Seems reasonable.
I feel like this entire arc is reminiscent of the story that coyote told about turning himself into a swan and marrying another one, then forgetting why he shapeshifted to begin with
Why not both?
Ahhh... how SWEET... I guess.
Oh boy... I did not have Loup acknowledges Kat is a fellow god on my bingo card. Ok. O.O
Something tells me Reynardine is gonna get a real kick of out learning the great and powerful Loup was brought down by the very same thing that brought him down: love. That's an explanation he'd understand for sure.
It smells suspiciously like... respect. That can't be right...
Ysengrim's persona is mostly on top at the moment, it seems. I wonder how long that will last.
#freeshadow2fromthebasement2023
Does he love her enough that he would willingly become a mortal human? Enough, perhaps, that he’d ask someone to take his life, so that his essence could be transferred to an appropriate totem? Such as the two that await in Gillitie Wood?
Kat: *wait LOUP's been drinking the robot kool-aid?*
i await kat's irritation
goose wife goose wife goose wife i can't unsee that damn comment from a few weeks ago i do not TRUST lana
Tom, I love these Kat expressions!So fitting!
Lana knows what boys like.
I wonder how much longer until that illusion breaks. Also I feel like the obsession over her that robots and New People have is deeply unhealthy. Reverence and deep respect is fine, but religiosity to the point that Robot has is dangerous. I mean we found out that Robot's treachery was Double Agent stuff, and that he straight up played Loup. But I question whether or not he figured out Jerrek was Loup and reported back immediately, or came up with that ploy on his own. (Given his own fervor I assume the latter). And that could have easily been him playing it entirely on his own for the benefit of his fellows and himself rather than the double-cross we saw. I'm probably overthinking this.
Longtime reader, first time commenter. This page, and Kat's reaction in particular, might just be my favourite so far.
uhhhhhhhh....
He found God and got his life right
Very interested to see where this goes
Flaffended.
Flattered or offended? Yes.
That doesn’t quite sound like the true explanation.
Loup is being very weird about Kay, as are all the robots... If I were here I would be weirded out by all them ):/

Bruh or Bruh? moment...
uhhhhhhjhhhhhhhhhghhhhhghggjg........
More like creeped out
If Loup keeps it up, he's going back in the cage.
