If Ysengrin eats Coyote, does he get back the memories Coyote ate himself?

gently caress, maybe that's what he's doing here. He's not trying to kill Coyote, he's just figured out his memories are inside.

The Thompson have a story called "Coyote makes women menstruate." It seems it was originally men's problem, but it was inconvenient for hunting. So they asked Coyote to help them, and he did by making women menstruate instead.

I'm not sure if it applies, but for the nearby Sto:lo menstrual blood is considered very powerful against what you might call male magic. So maybe this wasn't as bad a deal for women as it sounds? I dunno.

Anyhow the thing about Coyote in his own words:

I like how just a few pages before coyote asks Anne to tell a story about his incredible strength, with that specific stripe on his back highlighted.

Still think that this is too early for coyote to get snuffed out for good, this is all part of his plan still

Annie did not absorb Jeanne and if that's your understanding of how psychopomps work there are a lot of chapters you might want to reread.

If nothing else, Coyote is still not as owned as the time he farted himself to death.

This is still probably in his list of "top ten most embarrassing deaths" though.

There's no way he's dead from this. In legends he comes back to life from people stepping over his corpse.

It's pretty clear Ysengrin's goal was just to retrieve his memories.

Or maybe Ysengrim is just attacking him in a berserk rage without being aware of the stolen memories, and this is Coyote's gambit. At this moment, Ysengrim is just a force of nature without anything to guide him, no mind, no reason. He has Coyote's strength, but no wisdom and cunning that would direct him how to use it.

A Ysengrim nigh-omnipotent, but aware of how he attacked Annie, of the endless questions and how Coyote was toying with him, and of whatever else the memories could be, is something I think Coyote would like to see.

Would guilt and regret temper him, would "mortal" emotions be enough to reign in a power of a god?

Would it be a fun thing to do for shits and giggles?

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I think this might be the most game changing event in this comic, even more than Tony showing up.

We must hope that our current selves will one day step aside to make room for better versions of us.
Are the memory bubbles floating out of coyote or are they already "embedded" in ysengs underbelly?

Betting Ysengrin hands Annie an orb and tells her to give it to Renardine. I don't think Annie will be thrown out of the forest, Smitty might, but she's gonna have to go back and tell the court Coyete is dead and oh btw Jeanne is gone too.

They're gonna freak.

Coyote might even be dead enough that he's convinced himself, but he will be back eventually. He chose this moment to give Ysengrin his power so that when things seemingly went sour, the Court would be sure to get two firsthand accounts of his demise. Why? Who knows! Ysengrin getting his memories back is going to be interesting.

Not saying Coyote isn't a master planner, but it would be unwise to dismiss the possibility that he just hosed up.
