i think that when the lamb gets angry, oxylus just grabs their snout and holds it shut. it makes things 1000% worse; he just wants the lamb to know he doesn't care.
Chat I’ve seen enough SWAP AUs. It’s my turn. For now I just have my narilamb bc I’m cheesy as FUCK and FUCKING LOVE DRAWING THESE TWO TOGETHER. The only good narilamb I have because they never end up together.
lore under cut for anyone interested TEEHE THIS SHIT IS SO FUCKING LONG ONG
There isn’t a genocide in this AU like there is normally, but Vitas IS locked away because as soon as he, the god of life, realizes his domain also seems to cover death, he decides to experiment with it. He makes examples out of sacrificing and tormenting his followers to make examples of them, trying to make mortals fear and even abhor the gods. He often targets cats, to the point where the other gods had enough of his antics and sealed him away, fearing Vitas would single-handedly kill off catkind. (Yeah, maybe step in sooner than that though guys)
Locked away, Vitas is not powerless, but he has little interest in turning his efforts to breaking free. Instead, he realized while bound down below, he can still cause chaos up above. And he does, it taking form in natural disasters, that only stop when a cat is sacrificed to him for him to “play with.”
Persaphone is ordered to bring herself to the goddess of order (CAMILA :D ❤️🩹) to sacrifice herself, but Oxylus convinces her to let him go instead, disguised as her. When he’s sacrificed to the sheep below, he finds himself in front of a sheep in old dusty robes, bound to the ground in strange ropes made of gold and silver, and wool that’s overgrown and MUSTY. (who knew being trapped underground without a barber meant your hair grew long?) somehow, he sees this sheep and decides “oh yes, my soulmate” but unfortunately Vitas doesn’t agree. He promises he’ll spend the rest of Oxylus’s miserable life with him if he breaks him free, a deal Oxylus accepts!
So, all Vitas needs to do is sit and wait while Oxylus gathers power and uses it to slay the 4 who put him in that damn hole, each god possessing a bell that Oxylus takes, storing their souls into them and using with Vitas to break his restraints, one by one. Except, there’s 5 and only 4 bells, but Vitas isn’t worried about that. He was planning on taking Oxylus and using him as final soul to free him! Before he was too weak, but with 4 gods slain he’s strong enough to sacrifice.
Though Vitas is eager to use Oxylus, who is apprehensive but willing, his own bell has other plans, defying the both of them and using Vitas as the final sacrifice. A loss too painful for Oxylus, he revives Vitas who agrees to stay in his home village with him (not out of gratitude but out of spite, he wants to make the cat miserable for resurrecting him.) though, Vitas is no longer a god but a mere man, Oxylus only knew how to preform rituals to bring back mortals! Good try though, kitty.
Oxylus is currently on a mission to resurrect the other lambs, but it turns out resurrecting gods is much different than mortals. Vitas is only guiding him so he can bring back Camila, but he makes it extremely difficult for Oxylus just as a little treat. Destroying materials, sending him on quests to obtain help for what turns out to be completely unrelated ceremonies, hiding what little information he does have and making him find it alone,,, only giving him little pushes when he thinks Oxylus might give up.
Oxylus keeps him in the jester costume because Vitas is a grade A dickhead LMFAO (I based the jester outfit off a cool French jester poster I saw,,)
Ok good night chat it’s late and I forgot what words mean please punt swap vitas across the room goodnight idek if this made sense idc tho
