#borbek

This small child who’s had literally nothing to his name, is taken in, has a bath, given clothes, a friend and the best meal of his life and nothing could possibly go wrong, right? On Karma’s side of this interaction she sees a small child and knows of all the hardships he’ll have to battle as an adult. She genuinely and platonically cares for Torbek but everything she gives him is with the bittersweet knowledge of “he’ll have to go back eventually. I can’t change his story. I just want him to have one good day”and it’s tragic!She plays with him, cares for him, just overall is being a guardian like figure to him. Then it gets late and her time in his world slowly closes. Karma not having a choice to bring this small orphaned bugbear back to his dumpster in an alley, knowing exactly what his future holds and most importantly not knowing when she’ll be able to come back to see him again. But she assures him that she will come back to help again it just might take a long time. She stays with him until he falls asleep.

Gods! Karma I’m so sorry I made the world this way!

Doodle World, but it's a Rumble Game?

So is he Torbeks friend? his protector? His enemy? His friend, turned protector, turned enemy due to witchlight and oppressed trauma? What happened?

He DOES work like in canon... But I'm not gonna lie to you, Anon, the thing is mostly a Headcanon that I have and it can work even on this AU, both paths or for a Headcanon on the OG Verse lol

Can't remember where the hell I read it or if it's actually canon or what(?), but I read somewhere that Torbek was always capable of hearing The Other in his head, but I might be wrong??? So that's where the drawings come from.

And again, it can ALSO work on the OG Verse. It's just a HC of mine ig?? lol

Perhaps he was a protector long time ago?? Perhaps he got corrupted?? Or maybe he was always that way??? Perhaps he was born as a way to cope with his excruciating loneliness??? Perhaps he used to be nice??? Only having Torbek and Torbek only having him?? Perhaps he's his own person and just for some reason turned to become his enemy later on?? Perhaps it's all of the above??? Or not??? Jealousy?? Anger?? Abandonment?? Resentment?? How?? Why?? Torbek doesn't know. The Other doesn't seem to care to explain, at least not now, not anymore. Doesn't think it's worth his time.

But we'll figure this out... Later... (Cuz I don't have the full brain power for this rn help[?)

Anyway here's an angsty unfinished Bonus under the cut... It has nothing to do (???), but it's 'bout Torbek n' The Other bruh

He's literally baby... Don't mind him, he's just enjoying the cookie that the last Anon gave to him.
