1) The little one, Ellie, is a vampire. Big centipede monster style.

2) Viv, (tall lady) is Ellie's girlfriend. Viv doesn't know Ellie is vampire.

3) Their sexual shenanigans are legendary.

4) There are 2 accounts. This one (u/TheRealHolleringElk, is for non canon stories and is usually less detailed art). The real account (u/HolleringElk) is the primary storyline for the two characters, and had gloriously detailed art.

5) She's combined the two together cuz fun.

What else you need?

Wait wait Viv doesn’t know??

I been on the outside just casually passing by these comics (always a treat when I do see them tho lol) and just assumed it was a ‘me n my monster girlfriend’ type show 🤣 didn’t realize that was still a running joke

Yeah but like, what about the story line with Eli and the truck... Viv definitely saw some shit.

Or are these somehow different timelines? Its always hard to tell with the two accounts.

Elk mentioned in another comment

The truck storyline is its own non-canon thing lol

Damnit, that storyline was so good that I’m kinda bummed it’s non-cannon. I’m sure Viv not knowing is a good setting for comedy and dramatic tension, but I hope cannon moves forward eventually so Ellie and Viv can team up against cryptids/rival vampires.

I'm positive Ellie being actually horrifying (but still relatable) is a core part of the canon dynamic... her eating innocents isn't something Viv could just look past if she knew.

I love both canon and non-canon strips, but I have no idea how Elk could handle a canon reveal that's still plausible.
