Cotl Fanfic - Thoughts & Opinions?

So, this is the first post on this new account and it's a question for my Cult of the Lamb fandom pookies. I just recently got the game and I'm obsessed with it and have been thinking about writing a BUNCH of fanfiction.

So I wanted notes and suggestions on some things, and I might even make polls on some of them, starting most importantly with the topic below:

Gender, Pronouns, and Sexuality that are so far, are solely based on vibes and what I've seen the rest of the fandom agreeing on (And canon of course):

- The Lamb's identity will probs change depending on the fic type, but for most of them they will be assigned male at birth, He/They & Pansexual. Simple and sweet because our lamb boi is just tryna SURVIVE out here in a cult of idiots that can't even cook their own food or clean up their own shit. (Is this just me wanting to write more he/they characters in my stories because I'm he/they? Yes. Yes, it is folks.)

- Narinder is transgender male He/Him. I'm making him transgender male because I said so. I want more trans rep guys, leave me alone. & Homosexual because if his whole vibe and personality doesn't scream gay angsty emo cat I don't know what else in this world does.

- Leshy is cisgender He/Him. I can imagine him experimenting with they/them though. I may include something on that... If anyone has any notes on that I'm all ears. Best Bi. His level of chaos just radiates ADHD bisexual with way too much energy and free time.

- Heket is cis-gender She/Her. The only girlie in the family, fates have mercy on her and her patience. A lesbian for sure. I think the whole fandom just sort of agrees on this, right? With like, lots of wives because she is a highkey baddie? At least that's the impression I've been given based on all of her fanart and simps.

- Calamari- Sorry, I mean Kallamar, is cis-gendered He/Him. I was thinking of making him a transgender man too? Idk, I've just been told the cis's need rep too, and it made me gag and now I want to wave my magic writer wand and make all the characters trans and nonbinary. Opinions on that are welcome. Anyway. A pansexual, and I hear he canonically had multiple spouses? Despite looking like he has zero rizz. I mean, damn. Good for him I guess. Go squid boy, go.

In this, he's gonna be single though, because I like the idea of him struggling to find new spouses and Heket laughing at his struggle.

- Shamura is absolutely nonbinary they/them. A friend has told me this is canon, and that people may gun for my fucking throat if I change it. Not that I really want to, it fits. Shamura is lowkey one of my favorites. I just like spiders. I'm also deeply afraid of them and cry if I see them irl. I also think they're bisexual in the exact opposite way as Leshy, in that they are a calm, mildly tired wine aunt of the family, mixed with the senile grandparent that snores loudly then stops and everyone pauses and looks at each other like 'Are... Are they fucking dead?'

Anyway, this is a long post, but I needed to get this out there before I started writing stuff for this fandom. Any opinions are welcome, but no bullying other people's thoughts, and be chill guys.

Fr. I'm like a skittish cat, you'll scare me away, and then no one gets fanfiction.

Honestly, this AU could very much just boil down to "I miss my wife, Tails. I miss her a lot" and Shamura completely missing the social cue and trying to shoot their shot while the ghost family yells at Sozonius to not fumble this baddie, if you wanted

I just really like tragic man and the hot baddie trying to flirt with him and totally failing at getting his attention while he experiences the horrors, alright? Sue me

Listening to music gives you the best ideas, guys

Anyways, go5 an AU idea that I will not be using so I thought I'd share

Basically, after Dr. Sozonius gets out of rehab, he's allowed to just do as he does whatever. Okay. That's normal

But all of the sudden he starts hearing voices, and not like the fun ones who'd come to see him while he's high.

No, he's haunted by the ghosts of his family (wife, kids, siblings, parents, you name it) instead. And possibly a physical (imagined) manifestation of himself while possessed by the parasite.

And while he struggles with his crippling guilt and also ghosts, Shamura starts trying to make moves on him. Like, he's just sitting there like "I think I need to become an alcoholic" and Shamura goes "ok, but have you considered allowing me to rizz you up?" and the ghosts of Sozonius's family are just chanting at him "ancient sins" or "damn, why that spider kinda fine tho" or something along those lines and the hallucinated Sozo goes "hear me out: you should try 'shrooms again"

And by the end he's just done with it all and just wants to make human connections again, so he confronts his ghost family and they go away. And then he happily goes off to date former gods to his heart's content

The ghost part is inspired by the song Sex With a Ghost by Teddy Hyde, so do with that what you will

Just please credit me if you end up using this idea :)
