More on early Li'l E in 2002:

Here he's being reasonably friendly to 'Nique and Slick:

(Hey, he may be pathetic and misguided, Slick, but at least he's happy in his pathetic misguidedness, more than you and 'Nique were able to say at that particular moment.)

Here he's doing his typical "debate" shtick with Seymour, but he's being rather light-hearted about it, like it's just good fun, so maybe that should count for something:

And here's what is, in retrospect, sort of an ironic moment:

"Son of a bad person"? Seymour finally got something right and, eleven years later, he still doesn't know it.

man, i wish i had time to just go through the archives - all kinds of good stuff there. i thought this one (from the sequence after 'fanatics') was interesting:


so maybe that's why li'l e seems to have no memory that the devil is his father - god brainwashed him and sent him to torment his dad.

I love Lil'E so much you don't even know. So glad my registration finally went through for this forum, because I was spamming my Facebook with links to Sinfest trying to get someone else to read it so I could gush about it with them. But no one did But now I can talk about it here!

Anyway, I think someone was saying before "shouldn't he realise Pebbles likes him?" and I actually think it's pretty plausible he really doesn't think that she does. I don't think he thinks that she dislikes him, just that maybe she hangs around him because she doesn't have anywhere else to go and they're both (half) devil people, and they're sort of helping each other. My personal theory is he has something akin to social anxiety disorder, which was there before but was covered up by the brash persona he put on, telling himself he didn't care if people liked him or not, deliberately trying to get others to dislike him because then he could just say "that was my intention all along!". But after the Lethe and that persona got wiped he's back to his vulnerable state, if not more so because he's insecure about who he even is, and all evidence seems to point to being a terrible person. Having all the Devil memorabilia around must be confusing, because he clearly doesn't remember why he has it or that he used to be so attached to it. Maybe if he realises/remembers that the Devil is his father he'll figure out he must have gotten it all to feel closer to him, all the while repressing his desires for the sparkly good things because of the disapproval he knew it'd earn.

Dammit I just have so many feels for this scenario. While I'm glad Tat has realised how problematic his stuff used to be and now gone on a more feminist path, I just really want to know what happens with Lil'E/Lily!

Both Slick and Pebbles have been in it...

I also think Seymour and Slick got small, short-term doses. Not sure though.
