Everyone took this risk intentionally. Annie is a demi-human who has lived with death on her shoulder her whole life, and Parley and Eggy are both literally the court's full-time muscle. Loup attacking is not great but certainly part of what they expected and are prepared for.
I feel like this is Annie playing her next card, we'll see if it works. Would also be nice to see Reynard get into this but maybe he's keeping his distance for a reason, after all it does kind of sound like Loup has some dangerous plans for him.

Loup is a narcissistic, bipolar Coyote with no restraint Let's maybe not diagnose comic villains with mental illnesses that affect real humans. OK. Loup is self-absorbed with an excessive interest in his own qualities, exhibits sharp mood swings from overly high to extreme anger, and seems unable to moderate his behavior. |

Loup is self-absorbed with an excessive interest in his own qualities, exhibits sharp mood swings from overly high to extreme anger, and seems unable to moderate his behavior. I don't know if you're trying to be sarcastic here, dude ? Hard to tell like that. But one of my best friend is bipolar. Loup's behavior is nothing like bipolar disorder symptoms. To start with, you don't get that diagnose at all without the depressive part of it, and Loup hasn't been depressed a minute in his life. I don't feel like getting into more details, but "mood swings" can mean a lot of different things, pathological or no. While Loup does have explosive anger, his threatening to murder everybody in the room doesn't go away when he's relaxed and in a good mood. It's a play for control. It has nothing to do with having a brain that dysfunctions. He's a dude who thinks he should be in charge and who has the firepower to back the claim. He wants people to do what he wants and figures threatening to mawl them is what will get him there. He's not like that because he's incapable of controlling himself. He just doesn't see the point of not going nuclear as long as it gets him where he wants to be. When his interests are better served by not going nuclear, he calms down awfully fast, which is not something mentally ill people who do suffer from mood disorders can do. That's why we call it a disorder. Otherwise it's just called "being an asshole", which is pretty much what we are dealing with here. Not much of a surprise. Ysengrin was an asshole. He loved Annie, but the rest of the time, he was an awful jerk. And on this particular page he's also, I guess, a bit stressed out because he knows the lake water = impeding death. His behavior might seem illogical but to me it just looks like delaying tactics. |

Yeah as a demigod Loup's brain probably isn't that comparable to a human's but he doesn't seem to be comparable to a human who is "mentally ill" more just a person who tries to get his way by expressing extreme rage and engaging in threats to use his vast magical powers.
Which Coyote also did, just a little more low key, like with the "wristband" incident.

I think this is a good point to step back and say, "this is a comic", and that the people who comment on the forums tend to speak colloquially. That being said, I am not a fan of being told that XYZ topic is off limits just because someone happens to know someone who is affected by it. I understand that makes it a sensitive topic for you, but if we crossed off every topic that was sensitive for every individual that is present, there would likely be little left that was in bounds. We probably all agree that hate speech, discrimination, and the like has no place here, but colloquially calling Loup a bipolar narcissist is not, IMO, language that needs to be shut down. If you disagree, then take it up with the mods and have it added to the forum rules. |
