Some might call it cope, BUT I CALL IT HOPE!!!!!!!

MESAR ALIVE 2026 LETSGOOOOOOOO

/j /j /j /silly /silly /silly Was just reading the CotL devs AMA and thought of your fic lmao. Take care :)

Need someone to make a comic where Mesar just stumbles into the wedding reception with immaculate wool and a Starbucks cup he got from Leshy’s digestive system lol.

That’s so cool that got asked/answered though! I would’ve thought eldritch Leshy’s stomach would be a torment nexus of its own lol.

❄️ 56, 63, 65 ❄️ Really curious about Hamal's reaction to the rot might be :3

56. What does Hamal think of the Rot? Do they know of it? Have they seen it?

When they eventually encounter the Rot, there will be a small part of them that is just a teensy tiny bit concerned. Since it does just look like. Idk. Cancer that grows anywhere.

But! Yngya wants them to spread it, so it's gotta be fine. Right? Right.

63. What is Hamal's reaction to rotten followers?

They're wonderful workers! They don't see why everyone is so unnerved; they work hard, they don't complain, and eventually they fall apart into fuel. What's so wrong with that? They're a gift from Yngya!

65. Give us a random fact about your AU that's related to the Woolhaven dlc!

Hamal is extremely happy to know there is another SHEEP god that wants to ally with them, who understands how lonely/bitter they are without their people.

It's perfect- Narinder has his family, and now they have their own herd! With no malice or ulterior motives! This will definitely not make them willfully blind to anything.

Hello!! I don't know if you remember me but I was the anon a while ago asking for writing advice. I've recently begun taking creative writing classes here at college and it's been going great. Thanks for the encouragement :))

But besides the update I wanted to ask for permission to take inspiration from your fic "Nativity of the Lamb" for a research paper on the use of 'dread' in fiction. How specifically dread can be wielded effectively by an author to create a very unique and effective hook. A hook where the reader knows vaguely how it will end but is entirely incapable of changing the inevitable outcome.

To be specific I'm talking about how you wrote Mesar and Shera and their inescapable fate. Playing Cult of the Lamb beforehand and reading your fics in the order I did truly made their fates so damn heart wrenching. Knowing they won't survive stained every single interaction and dialogue, a literal death sentence looming over them the whole story.

If you'd prefer to stay under the radar I would totally understand though. Just know you truly are a talented writer and an inspiration don't ever forget it :)

Hi there! Oh, I'm so glad you're you're pursuing writing and taking classes!!! I hope you have fun and learn a lot! Thank you so much for the update, I'm so happy to hear it.

As for your question, hell yeah, go for it! I think being cited in an academic paper is super cool, actually. Writing Shera and Mesar was wonderfully awful for that very reason, and I'm honored you think it's worthy of being used as an example.

Thank you so much for the update, for including me in your paper, and for your very kind words. It really made my day. <3
