replaying those two games back-to-back is probably the biggest lovely-related whiplash i've ever gotten

they're the complete opposite in so many ways it's hard to take either seriously

burnt dirt hart:

• runs away from beltboy and leaves him to the four lovelies (+1) he massacred in base hopeful

• abandons his men so he could "take the first turn", shortsighted bully

• hides behind a guy with a shield, doesn't even get +untargetable

• gets betrayed at the last step of his journey

• easy as pie

• made of paper mache

• you can kill him before ribcage betrays him naturally

• mutant form is somehow even more boring than his base form

• +awesome +super cool +badass oc kills him before he could unleash his final dying attack

lovely showdown hart:

• fights side by side with his homies to take on reginald and brad's heirs themselves, listens to criticism

• lets his men "take their first turn" if you lose in the first phase, sick fuck but a good leader

• takes the lead and sits in the very centre of the formation

• lovelies come back from the dead to fight with him side by side after he becomes a horrifying monster

• three to four turns, multiple aoe attacks, multiple -maxhp attacks

• regenerating brick wall

• mutant form literally can't stop using attacks that normally require +dangerous

• makes sure buddy remembers him forever by tearing dusty's heart out in front of her eyes
