Yeah! Thinking about Guidestuck was one of the things that initially got me thinking about how tightly-woven the relationship between troll and lusus really is.

The bits of worldbuilding we did get about scarvenrot’s interpretation of that Alternia were a really good example of how interchangeable the two roles really are - though the curse of the ATH code meant that all of the Hivebent lusii had to die before getting into the game, we can easily imagine Redglare doing a similar thing with Pyralspite.
