I'm Just So Excited For The 5 + Inches Of Snow Getting Dumped On Me This Week... NOT!

COTL - The Name of the Lamb

I have worms in the brain, and they must be exorcised...!

I dunno it seemed kinda weird to me that everyone--even Ratau, a former bearer of the Red Crown himself--refers to Narinder as "The One Who Waits," despite most likely knowing his true name (citation needed.) So maybe there's a curse on it, which would explain how no one but Shamura and Haro speak it in-game. (Though even beings like the duck siblings, Clauneck especially, don't speak Narinder's name despite most likely fulfilling the exemptions mentioned here. *shrug*)

Well, even in IRL religions and mythologies, the names of gods are sacred and not meant to be spoken frivolously. Like when I was little, I was told never to mention Satan or the devil because that was an invitation.

Perhaps maybe that would extend to the Lamb as well, once they are borderline and newly ascended to godhood. So therefore, even after one would know Lamb's name, they are still referred to as "Lamb" to avoid any potential issues that come with speaking a god's name. Eh, just a thought...

GUUHHH I'm not ready to commit to a comic again, I do NOT want this to become a habit...!

But already the worms speak to my brain again... D':

29 and 42 for your lamb >:)

Previous ask

Thank you for the ask! Here is the ask game

29. Did your lamb take any followers as a partner?

Yeah! Lamb’s spouse is Rose, a red wolf. Rose herself is very outspoken and blunt, she doesn’t like to hide herself from others which is inspiring for Lamb who thinks that her followers will leave her if she opens up to them too much.

Also no better time to show the doodles I made of Rose and Lamb :)

42. Would your lamb ever kill a cult member?

Absolutely not. Lamb is a merciful cult leader, and wouldn’t ever kill her followers, even if they were a dissenter.

13 and 18 for chilli!!!!

13. Is your lamb petite? Curvy? Fucking jacked?

Chili’s a smaller lamb compared to others. In the past, he was a little more on the cubby side but as more time passed and he became more active. As a result, Chili has a more slim figure.

18. On a scale of one to ten how floppy are their ears?

Eight :D

That is a TALL Kallamar! Tell him to lean down so I can kiss him!

He's really very tall!

And you can ask for it yourself, but keep in mind that you need to have very long lips

Such a cute little fella!!

i think about COTL at least twice a month, and go on a binge of cotl gameplay before promptly finding another game to obsess over

what if i told you guys that chili’s personality is heavily inspired off of the EPIC musical (specifically the Troy Saga)

totally not bc my cotl hyperfixation overlapped with my EPIC Saga hyperfixation nooo nooo /s

15, 25, 49? :3 (for the lamb thing !!)

15. “How does your lamb prefer to keep their wool? Short and shorn neat? Wild and untrimmed? Be honest are there branches in that bitch?”

Chili has a tendency to outgrow his wool both because he holds sentimental value to his wool and because he’s low-key kinda lazy to cut it off .

That’s why he wears the bandana on his head! It’s easier for him to see through all of that fluff.

25. “Do they wear something other than the canon cloak?”

Chili wears a robe underneath his cloak that he usually wears when he’s not actively attending to the cult or out on a crusade.

The clothes he typically wears are made out of the finest silk, fit for the vessel of a spider!

49. “Does your lamb use substances? Are substances banned from cult grounds?”

Short answer: Not that often, most substances are allowed in small doses.

Long answer: There is a bar in Chili’s cult that his followers often go to after a long day of work. Sometimes, Chili would go over there himself!

But it’s a different story when it comes to mushrooms. Chili understands that mushrooms have some medicinal properties, it can be pretty handy when someone is sick! However, he has had some pretty disturbing experiences using mushrooms on his fellow cult members. Even more so with his temporary mushroom provider…

So let’s just say after a horrific ritual (and an untimely funeral), Chili’s the only one in the cult allowed to use menticide mushrooms.
