I know you’ve never been big on Shamgoat but with the COTL account posting it I’d like to hear your thoughts on the ship? Does it just disinterest you? Are you neutral on it? Some people like Shamgoat but I’ve seen some fans disagreeing with the pairing

I absolutely love shamgoat and I love everyone’s interpretations of shamgoat. Especially the headcanon of Goat being Shamura’s vessel instead of a white Narinder. Shamura being the Bishop of War and Goat’s personality depicted through canon really fits well together. Plus, it’s hot.

I don’t think I’ve ever shown disinterest on Shamgoat, I just don’t give much attention to it because of my focus on goatlamb/narilamb. When I saw the video from the COTL account I SCREAMED with happiness and immediately showed it to my moots who also love shamgoat.

People can have their opinions about the ship but I don’t think it should deter you from shipping it at all. Hell, I’ve been seeing discourse on goatlamb but that doesn’t stop me from shipping it. I’m pretty sure there’s a few people who don’t even like Narilamb. Ship whatever you want, just as long as it isn’t problematic.

Now have this Shamgoat drawing of @ccarmody101’s Shamura kissing my Soulmate au Goat from my goat kissing booth

Besides, I’ve been thinking about my Goat Relic AU and Shamura’s influence in it, who knows. Maybe I’ll put Shamgoat in there 👀

I feel hilarious and as a horrible ShamGoat shipper I was brainstorming ideas for a them centric swap AU but like in my flavour and ended up with this

!! UNHOLY ALLIANCE UPDATE SPOILER !!

Okay so I don't know how obvious this is cause I never see it mentioned here 😭 so I'm gonna take any chance to yap

In these two statues of the goat you can see that they seem to have their body ripped open, making me wonder if this implies the goat is dead or some form of undead.

I was like cool yippeee new element to add to my own goat design :D

Then I did a lot more Goat brainrotting cause they're my comfort character (I know. Unfortunate to fixate on the player 2 character out of everything) and my brain went to the au where Shamura is the Narinder and all. Ykwim.

So I was thinking of the swap AU I wanted to make and came up with the thought of the Goat being a scapegoat. Yknow. From the bible. Then I connected that the Lamb is a sacrificial lamb that ended up not technically getting successfully sacrificed and instead started a cult. I wanted to play with that irony. So the Goat, being a scapegoat that is supposed to run away with the sins but failing and getting sacrificed in the process is a fun idea for me.

The AU is barebones concepts right now, but like what if in the swap AU the goat gets sacrificed and insteead of progressing the prophecy like the Lamb did they ended up negatively fucking it up. That's the plot or like lore I came up with.

If I do commit to making this an AU i'll figure out a story one day 😭 but this is what I got. And since the Goat is "dead" and we cant have a plot starring a corpse I imagine they DO get revived For The Plot but not like other followers, I'm talking about revived in the way that is wrong. Revived in the way that they no longer can experience life, that they're watching people live life but they're stuck like that forever.

I also want to connect this with the fact that the goat is the one who provided the cursed relics and tarots somehow. We shall find out maybe idk.
