Ya know, my favorite thing about this comic is the moral ambiguity of Narinder's portrayal. Having played the game and seen how the Fandom interprets Narinder, I'm actually annoyed with the general consensus that in order to make fan's self-insert Lamb feel like this justified victim, Narinder is a vow-breaker who intentionally makes false-promises, lies and harms their Lamb for personal gain. ๐ค
Here, I can really see how Narinder could be seen as a being of worship once-upon-a-time, whether or not the story of his Sibling Conflict told here is truth, fabrication or somewhere in between. He's clearly someone who's felt hurt, longs to pursue his goals and is seeking some personal sense of purpose beyond what Fate has decided for him. Here, I can feel while his intentions aren't entirely pure, they're not this comical level of evil seen by the majority of the Fandom and its very much refreshing to say the least. ๐
This is one of the few cotl comic lores I'm very much invested in and would like to see more of. The fundamental originality of showing both sides aren't evil, but the signs of corruption are just buried below the surface is something I really enjoy. ๐๐๐
REINCARNATION
I said I was going to compile it and I did <3
Thanks to everyone who followed along with me while I made this! I loved reading your comments :')
Bonus sketch
;)
This is what Narinder (and Lamb) needs. A galaxy load of being the butt of jokes but not enough emotional digging.
Weโre having some big feelings rn ๐ฅบ

These are pretty good choices. I will say I avoided cat because I wanted to pick creatures different from the current bishops. Since Narinder is already a cat, wanted to go a little bigger. Also avoided the Sloth cuz its a little too on the nose, ya know? lol But i do like these alot. Had to look up the Shrew and Bonobo. Pretty fitting.
In the Cotl Universe, if the 7 Deadly Sins were personified as animals, which 7 would you choose?
Think my picks would be
Pride - Lion
Greed - Crab
Lust - Rabbit
Gluttony - Pig
Envy - Dog
Wrath - Bull
Sloth - Koala
But I'm curious to hear the thoughts and ideas of others.
No no! Let's not beat up Narinder. Context is key damnit and for all we know, Nari is trying to stop his precious Lambert from putting themselves in mortal danger because he cares, but Lambert is just being bull-headed. Hmmm!? HMMMM!? lol
Mini comic for @aychama
Inspired by this post๏ฟผ
Heh good thing I'm not a follower but more of an observer. But to say more would spoil future plans ๐
How would ewen react if a follower (me for example XD) ask them for a kiss ?
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Quite a bit to unpack here but... does give a bit more insight to the "never let you go" line used in the first lore-focused comic. Also explains why Narinder gets his head cut off as well later... somewhat. Wow. ๐ซ
Bet Narinder is REEEEAAALLY wishing he read Ewen's mind when he had the chance before. Good gravy ๐ Imma need more info before I can go anymore indepth than this. Don't need to make anymore incorrect assessments.
An explanation for the wound on Ewen's, my lamb's neck. I've had this headcannon since first seeing the bishops but it kind of took a life of its own
When you're a power hungry controlling monster but they're way too into it, even for you
patreons got this early
Looking at YOU @neon-virus >:3
Everone always has the Red Crown dislike Narinder or hate Narilamb and yeah it's funny but personally I think it's more funny if the Red Crown actually DID like Narinder. Like yeah, The Lamb is it's favorite. But Narinder is and always was it's second favorite (first before the Lamb came along.)
The Red Crown is the child caught between the divorce. The #1 Narilamb shipper. It wants Narinder and The Lamb to make up so it can hang out with both it's besties again.
To me the Red Crown is out here like:

I am SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS!!!!
It would be very weird indeed.
Gonna reblog this. Asking many artists if they'd like to add to their design to the project and of course if anyone sees this and would like to join, feel free to send me a message or a shout ^_^
Main rule however, if I do create the discord, it will NOT be shared with anyone else other than those who are participating and adding their Lamb designs to the video. I value everyone's privacy and do not wish to have them bombarded in their personal lives on the matter.
It is not a time sensitive issue to concept and of course I will answer any and all questions fired my way. I will maintain contact with anyone who wishes to join and maintain 100% transparency with everyone involved.
I'd like to make this something of a fandom community effort to show appreciation to all the artists involved. And because I not-so-secretly love too many artistic styles that make me feel as giddy as a school girl watching a romcom. Do not judgement god damnit! lol
Anyone else remember this post? >:3
Well I put this up just before the holidays and well, @countjulius did contact me a few weeks ago about setting something up. However due to some... family emergencies, I wasn't able to get around to having the time til now. ๐ However if he does want to set something up, understand I'm going to spam every single last Narilamb artist I can think of, to get all their designs into this one little bit! ๐๐Of course whoever wishes to join, more than welcome if you're interested and read this far.
Also, sending out an special shout-out to @melled42 for even liking the post and recommending it to Sir Julius in the first place. As a thanks I was gonna go full on commission but, knowing how her canon lore is set and me needing to keep my ass in check and not wanting to creep her out with my weird ass request, I think I'll offer either a solid donation (Within reason Goddamnit! ๐) or something like that. Dealer's choice ๐
Hope this pans out well. I think it would be a fun way to involve as much as the fandom as possible as so many people have very unique, fantastic and interesting designs for their interpretations for their self-inserts and I can't think of a better way of appreciating them. ๐คฉ
Nice to see someone shares my dynamic desire for these two. The lamb teasing and taunting the sexually repressed cat into taking the initiative in order to bring out his dominant side. Let's Narinder fulfill his desire for taking control and feeling powerful while the Lamb gets the joy of knowing they're the only one that can bring this side out of him and only for them
here, this turned out bad so have it early
Ewen is very good at making everyone else do their work for them. They're just good a murder and manipulation.

What I freaking live for!
