Quick question, can I ask about the extra context and sources of the idea behind FT cult of the lamb AU? If you can.

Sure thing! I'll put it under the readmore since this is my main. I'll probably put anymore content I create for this AU on @fleeceofthefates :]

The AU stemmed from the idea of a NariLamb arranged marriage AU, since I'm a sucker for arranged marriages/relationships where people get married and THEN fall in love. The DRAMA of it all.

(This was the original artwork I did! It was actually for someone ELSE’s arranged marriage au)

@poppy-purpura decided to expand upon the idea in a wonderful way :] They created a story where Narinder was imprisoned by his siblings, and to break his imprisonment, he had to get married. Classic fairytale stuff.

Of course, he denies this arrangement, and for 1000 years puts off getting hitched to anyone... but eventually he gets lonesome. So he settles down with the Lamb as his chosen spouse.

He's still vying to return to his former godhood someday, but... the Lamb has other ideas >;]c 

First of all they're determined to have a happy marriage, and convince Narinder to experience mortal life for the first time, and he can't deny that its... nice. Especially after being isolated for so long.

But don't think that the Lamb is just a homemaker in this AU! They're also VERY attracted to the idea of Narinder coming back into power. And, by extension, them as well. (Still need to expand on this part, but I like the idea of the two of them fighting side-by-side!)

Hopefully the two can learn to work together as a team to achieve their goals. And maybe also fall in love! (Of course they will- we all know where this is going, haha!)

My part of the art-trade with @poppy-purpura and their AU based on folk tales! This art was inspired by Slavic folklore - specifically by Kupala night divinations! On the Kupala Night, girls will float wreaths made of flowers down a river to attempt to learn of their future love. If a man will catch a girl's wreath, it was said that they're destined for each other.

We’ve also briefly discussed COTL in the setting of Darkwood game, because they both have a dark fairy tale feel to them, so I also doodled a little Narinder in a Darkwood crossover :3

How! Is! Your! Artstyle! So adorable and! PRECIOUS!!

Also, hi, big fan of your art pieces, mostly in the COTL fandom. Are there any of the AUs you're still interested in drawing? How does the COTL Marriage one goes and ends? Also how did the Lamb and Narinder even get married when one is bound in the in-between Afterlife?

Have a good month! Sleep early, drink water regularly.

Ohh Thank you so much for kindness! :) Hello!

Well, I love my AUs, but I have no so much ideas to draw, also the lack of needed skills exists. I feel very unsure to draw anthro and such things :") Also it is really hard to draw something for myself. The truth is, I'm not a fan of myself...

Are you talking about fairy tale AU?

The situation there was like this: bishops imprisoned Narinder in his Purgatory and drained all the ichor from him, but, to tell the truth, they did not want such a fate for him. Shamura offered a deal according to which Narinder would be released if he married someone and through a bloody ritual transferred half of his divinity to someone else (he stubbornly refused for a long time, but eventually agreed to it, because it was exhausting to exist forever in nowhere).

Bishops then planned to kill his "bride" if she did not die herself due to gaining "divinity", and allow Narinder to live a mortal life in an immortal body, being sure that he would not threaten their position. They chose a young sheep for him, the most harmless creature he had often preferred as maids and prays before.

They got married and started living together. Mara (sheep name) became the owner of the crown. Narinder was not thrilled, but he helped his young wife and one day revealed his past and his thoughts to her. She agreed to help him regain his territories, now divided between local forces. And the whole story was supposed to tell that Mara learns to use the power of the crown, conducting witch rituals and learning how to cook potions and curses, and Narinder is forced to fight (he is bad at this he knows more about rituals and dances what a looser). They literally robbed someone's barn and use a scythe and sickle as weapons. Later, they will be able to recapture Narinder's castle, and their feelings for each other will become something more than friendship. In the process, Mara gets to know bishops and helps solve their problems in order to get the key to the doors to Purgatory, where Narinder's kittens are left. Happy end I guess.
