finally.,. after a billion years, ive come back to the Purged AU again this art is kinda a spoiler, but later on in the story they meet up with Percival and Phoney’s brother Norman. Having been raised by the Lord of the Locusts, due to being taken as a child when Rat Creatures attacked the brothers’ and cousins’ family home, Norman is revealed to be evil and tries to kill his brothers and cousins to make sure the Lord of the Locusts’ plan to take over the Valley goes through. no one gets in the way of the Locust Lord’s plans. He doesn’t know Fone, barely remembers Smiley, and can’t entirely tell who Phoney and Percival are anymore now that they’re grown up. i’m still working out everything that happens in the AU, but this for sure is staying
