i like drawin the version of "hey wait isnt this a really bad power dynamic potetntial thing that can go super bad actually??!?!?! theres so many imbalances hey isn't this just really dangerous tho" and then i draw it and the yaoi is radioactive and not even yaoi just a hostage situation with some stockholm sprinkled in atp lets be real Bc theres so many aspects of it that people tend to not see, of either party having a great power over the other depending on the point of the story, and seeing how people either write around it or ignore it is very interesting! but im grabbing it by is greasy hair and making it rear its stupid head. or at least, trying to. im not a strong writer but i try!

forewarning this is NOT me trying to pick a fight im just thinking out loud

but in regards to Narilamb i genuinely do not understand how people see it as a loving and devoted relationship. to each their own! im still reblogging narilamb stuff bc half of the time its funny and its a lot of good art.

however in my brain its a one-sided devotion that ends up breaking with the betrayal of their patron god. its a blessing turned curse. its a gift transformed into a rebellion. the lamb WAS devoted, once. the lamb DID love narinder, once.

to me its a story of a blinding love and ideals crumbling away into this bitter, cold outlook that makes the lamb remember who they are and where they come from. they had a family, once. they created a new one, and now the person they devoted themselves to mind, body, and soul is asking them to leave their family again. to lose everything again.

narilamb isn't a romance. its a tale of naivety and ignorance becoming a lesson so painful you have no choice but to kill and become the thing you loved, once.
