Elain Gets Adopted

The young bounty hunter, Elain, gets adopted by an unusual fellow with an unusual hobby.
Finally done after about 7 months, the long awaited sequel to Little Ru-Elain the Bounty Hunter is finally out.
Thanks to all the pals who supported me through its creation.
Special shoutout to my lovely guest voices.

Elain expresses almost entirely through her eyes most of the time and yet she shows more clear emotion than most characters in animated TV shows.

[@SomeD00D01]

Yep

[@NitroGlyde]

Everything terrible that happened to Elain is a direct result of her jumping out the window in the first episode. She destroyed the generator with her landing, trapping Dento within the elevator. Dento being stuck led to her going up against Gop Donsterly without backup. Because she went in alone, Gop was able to overpower her and send her to the vore dimension to play a quiz game. Losing the quiz game got her sent to the Hunter Pound, which led to the events of this episode. If she waited for her partner, he might have been able to save her from Gop. Even better, she may not have been swallowed at all. But she got greedy, and went by herself. The horrors that have since befallen her were put in motion by her own hubris.

Yeah but would that explain the floating elain heads and elain leaves. Usually in gooseworx cartoons things which seem like metaphors at first tend to actually exist in this universe.

This would make sense, especially since she didn't have to shoot him because he had already been incapacitated by the syringe. She could've run away but in the heat of the moment she grabbed the gun and shot him.

[@normalcat7296]

Lore-accurate theory: everyone can manipulating a dimension and use it like daily thing but limited at some point. Vondu is a veteran and probably has his own universe with (probably) more gun and jar under his coat. All the villain is shown can disrupt and storage a *whole* dimension in their guts (which is prolly make them hunted because of unlimited storage)

I think she actually got her heart eaten by Love Nugget and she's wondering if that's going to have consequences later...

I genuinely feel sad for these characters... especially Elain and Dento. Elain has been forced into a world that she didn't ask for, and Dento is left to wonder what happened to his good friend (possibly lover, but that's for another time). Elain has been through hell and back, literally. She deserves better... I really hope to see some kind of finale or epilogue where Dento and Elain can have a happy and normal (or as normal as you can get with Goosworx...) life. It's even more impressive that Goose has managed to create such a vivid and emotional film with almost no dialogue whatsoever. Simply astounding.
