So who’s Penelope’s spouse? How did they meet? What is their relationship like?

When Penelope first met Ulysses, I like to think it was during their teens or something, the croc having been rescued from Anchordeep during one of the Lamb’s crusades. Ulysses was already an orphan before heretics raided his village, but he still lost friends he knew and cared for, but there’s not much he can do now. So to keep busy, he helps with the cult’s farm work, and when he’s a bit older, he starts going on missionaries.

I think it’s at this point Penelope starts noticing the gentle giant, especially since he usually hangs out with her Uncle Leshy in the fields. After some pushing from her siblings, the two of them end up becoming friends first before actually getting into a relationship of sorts. It’s like a crush -> friends -> lovers type of deal ya know? Very sweet, nothing angsty gonna happen whatsoever :]

Anyways, thank you sm for being so interested in the shitten lore, it’s so fun drawing them and brainstorming any new ideas for them!

(Also my file corrupted so many times while working on this, so sorry for the shit quality :P)

Hellou!~

Could I ask about the other Shittens? What are your names? What is Penelope's relationship with them like? I loved her, she looked so much like the lamb, I also wonder what the goat is like with them...

Thank you, your art and your text, it rented an apartment in my head and now I can't stop thinking about what they would be like and about Penélope, I loved that she was inspired by a character from my favorite cartoon

Omg thank you so much!! I’m so glad you love Penelope! Hopefully you’ll like her siblings as well!

Okay so, as mentioned before, Penelope is the youngest out of her siblings:

Eldest - Scylla:

Works as the head enforcer of the cult, changing enforcer from simply making sure people were loyal to the cause to protecting the cult from any heretics that possibly find their way into the campground and wish to seek harm. This was implemented by the first enforcer Gremar, who was Scylla’s teacher, and Heket (she just seems like the type who would definitely do that, despite her being the ex-diety of Famine).

The responsibility of keeping the Cult and her family safe weighs heavily on Scylla’s shoulders. Especially when you’re at war with another cult who just so happens to have one of the crowns that went missing.

Middle - Thanatos:

Works as the Undertaker of the Cult, but he would tap into medicine (and possibly learn more about science, fascinating over things that have yet to have been solved). His mentor was probably Kallamar In this sense, since he’d probably be the cults medic around this time. Thanatos also deals with harvesting the corpses whenever they are needed for rituals.

Death isn’t uncommon, especially if you’re the son of its Deity. However, ever since the Lamb’s ascension, there hasn’t been a resurrection since Penelope became Preistess. The morgue has started getting fuller than usual.

Youngest - Penelope

Penelope is the Priestess of the Cult, being appointed after the Lamb’s ascension and leaving the cult to Death’s domain (which imma start referring to as the underworld). This position was previously taken by Narinder as head Priest, but when the Lamb left, he followed. She often tries connecting to the Underworld, to try talking to them again, but her prayers have yet to be answered. But she knows they still watch over them, via rituals, so there is some semblance of hope she’ll be able to make contact.

But that needs to wait, for now Penelope needs to catch the new crown bearer up to speed, and help them however possible. Though it is a bit harder when the due date is near.

(Thank you for reading my bullshit ideas that I have for the shittens, and I have some stuff planned out for NariLamb as well so stay tuned for that ;])

Imagine I made a Lamb animatic using both ‘Monster’ (Epic: the musical) and/or ‘The Man I Used to Be’ (Count of Monte Cristo), that’d be crazy.

[kamodofilez]

If you're lamb is so plauged by guilt, why did they kill Narinder in the frst place?

Okay so, i'm probably going to do my thoughts injustice because I'm terrible at explaining things but here we go.

I think the whole reason they killed Narinder was out of anger and betrayal, after believing that their bond at that point meant something more than just vessel and patron. It doesn’t help that Narinder kinda knew about their feelings towards him (since the lamb is an open book) and leaned a bit into that idea just to get better results outta them.

Now as to why the Lamb brings him back is more out of longing(?) for before. But even when Narinder’s revived, it actually makes the situation kinda worse due to the hurt and anger they both have against the other. It’s not too long until they have to separate (somewhat willingly) for a period of time to actually calm tf down and gather their thoughts before they finally reunite again and are able to be civil with each other.

That’s all I’ll say since I want to explore it more with comics I have planned and currently writing atm. Anyways, I know I’m very confusing when it comes to this AU but I hope this helps! :]

Howdy!

I just wanted to say that your “human’s touch” animatic was the main reason I started into the cotl fandom and started playing the games. Your art is delicious

Thank you for the inspo!

AAAAA THANK YOU!! Honestly it’s been a long time since I made a animatic that complex(?), and this was like way back before I had a consistent design down for the characters too, So I’m really glad you liked it! <:D

[kamodofilez]

I’m stuck between making a NariLamb animatic with either El Tango De Roxanne or In My Dreams by Matt Block. Not sure, but I wanna try making one later on when I have the time to plan it out

[kamodofilez]

You know, your idea of lamb losing their memory during ascension is giving me full "Gian Marco- Se me olvido" vibes

https://youtu.be/_luqFx8cM0M?si=ADo37YWjCASIDHim

Ooo I really like this, and I can see where you’re coming from with this honestly! Especially with the lines:

“I forgot what your name is, and how many times you adored me…”

Like AAAAA—!!! But with this song, it's more like trying to forget than accidentally I guess? Maybe it could be in the P.O.V of Narinder trying to forget the Lamb once they fully ascend and lose their memory. But in the end, he can't really? Idk I'm still trying to figure it out myself lol.

(Some of the lyrics don't really fit their dynamic imo, but overall yeah I could see it! Thanks for the ask btw!)

[kamodofilez]

for an au name, for death bells toll

(as in like, for death, the bells toll)

Oooo it could be a good swap with Toll of the bells, I think this would be pretty fitting since the NariLamb fam all have like Bells and they all represent death in their own way for my AU. I’ll keep this in mind! :]

I originally had a funny idea that Hannibal would become canon in the botd au by being introduced in the same fashion as the goat originally would’ve (via multidimensional portal), but then I had an even funnier idea. What if Hannibal was actually someone the Lamb once knew, and used to be close with, I wonder how that would play out..?
