diffuse => defuse


* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: The interplay between Dusty and Learoyd encapsulates this trope well. Dusty is wide-eyed and as he learns more about the world his desire to help all those who need assistance increases. He has repeatedly attempted using rationality and diplomacy to diffuse situations where Learoyd would insist on fighting. Learoyd on the other hand is simply abrasive, has little regard for the lives of the animal people around him, and acts mostly out of self-interest.

* DyingTown: Erries when Steven and Dusty arrive. The sheep inhabitants are suffering from an unknown disease in alarming numbers.
* EldritchAbomination: The mutated blob Dusty and Learoyd encounter at the conclusion of Issue #10 which appears to be composed of a dozen or more creatures gruesomely melded together.



* FurryConfusion: Apparently there are non-anthropomorphised birds in this world, and Dunstan has an ordinary preying mantis in a jar on his desk. Most of the un-intelligent animals of the Autumnlands, however, are strange quadrupedal fantasy creatures that do not exist in real life. Giant insects are also used as mounts, and don't seem to be sapient, either.
