Like, either he doesn’t understand why everyone treats him so harshly
BRO DIDN'T DO NOTHING WRONG AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
He literally got stuck with the WORST type of people.
He gave them someone that could help them and they tortured Evbo. It's not Clown's fault that literally everyone is abusive.
I can see Ferre acknowledging this and having Clown hide in the iron sword or gold sword section as they slowly interact more.
OOH
Clown can't remember what happened to him but he has nightmares about it and can't sleep. Ferre (who has very little experience with emotions) has to help him through it.
ngl Ferre falling for him would be funny in hindsight. I like clownferre but I'm just imagining it.
Clown has little to no idea what he's been through and Ferre is awkwardly in the corner trying to find the best way to explain that his own people killed him.
"Yeah you gave up your godhood to your us and we killed you for it, sorry man".
Clown would have so much trauma from it.
Ooooooo I love the idea of Clown having nightmares about it
Like, he wasn’t a bad person, just someone who had nothing left to lose and wanted to do whatever it took to fix the world that had been broken when his people took advantage of the power he gave them. It makes sense that he could finagle his way into respawning, but because so much of his person was god at this point, respawning as a mortal literally just empties him of everything that used to be… except for the memories. Locked behind the barrier of mortality.
I’m honestly not sure if the story would end up going into Clownferre (genuinely would have to see how it works out between their interactions and development) but I would love there being a sort of deeper connection between them.
Especially because Clown would be the first wooden sword born post-Boey. So not only do the Diamond Swords have to content with the newest sword being the ex-God of their world, but he’s also completely unaware of this, wracked by guilty nightmares of his past, and the first person that they are given responsibility over since their total fumble with Boey.
And Ferre just… doesn’t know if he could trust anyone other than maaaaybe Julie to know about all of it.
Casually dropping into my inbox with banger concepts god I love to see it
