The white collar au has a happy ending btw and that happy ending is narilamb being menaces

For clarification Narinder and Lambert are married this is just how they flirt in public, or as @jaroftears correctly put it, this is foreplay for them

sooo about lamb's clothes....

i knew for a while now that my lamb whould start wearing more than just a fleece after ascention and designing clothes is my absolute forever and ever favourite part of drawing so i finally can do it for my cotl au😩😩😩. references and what went into the design (including lore stuff) are under the cut as always

the aestetic choices

they stop wearing the collar and always leave their neck open so the scar and subsequently the evidence of their immortality is always visible

i changes the red-and-white of the default fleece to red-and-gold cause it looks more regal and important and more suitable for a new god

i keep their silhouette feminine cause personal preference ahah. their dresses are mostly very light and loose because anything firmer probably feels awful on wool

i didn't do it justice cause frankly it's time consuming but imagine a lot of intricate embroidery there (because, again, a new god, they have the right and the want to be show-off-y)

the lore stuff (the crown and the symbols mainly)

i could go on longer but in a nutshell – even while being a vessel lamb already started rewriting history a bit. their cult consists exclusively of victims of old faith or reformed believers, so "oh guys we're actually worshiping one of the bishops" shit wouldn't really fly. so the cult if for The God of Death (not bishop mind you) so when narinder theoretically is freed he gets a new start as a deity, plus any mention of him was already erased by his siblings (that's my way of explaining why there's literally no narinder imagery anywhere in the cult, and crown doesn't count like narinder imagery)

when freeing narinder doesn't go as planned lamb continues with "this is not like the old faith guys" even harder. they started wearing the crown not in it's crown form, all of the crown imagery slowly disappeared, etc. they don't go by title of a god even, they're "The Promised Liberator of the lands of The Old Faith" or like just liberator or saviour or wtv

HOWEVER they still borrow a shitton from the old faith, even in aesthetics. the headpiece they turn the crown into? based on bishops' cross-like headpieces, but more horn-shaped (the eye of the crown can be seen only by those meaningfully touched by divinity, so, ratau, desciples, old faith siblings). all of the symbols they use in embroidery? also old faith

they're doing the same thing old faith did to the old gods. "they call their faith old but they're just a bunch of heretics". lamb is a heretic to the old faith, they make it seem like they're different but it's just a new coat of paint

important!! the desiphered meaning of the symbols belongs to @itislils2004. they did an insane amount of work putting together cotl lore, i highly recommend going through the google doc in their pinned post, it's a wonderful read (and a wonderful watch, their art is amazing)

Announcment

I am making a book that is basically about COTL, starring my OC Eren who is the Vessel in my other AU. Here's a sneak peak (THIS IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT THERE WILL BE CHANGES!)

Once, A very wise man told me that dying was only the beginning of a process of pain. And to say that he was right was an understatement. Having everything you knew and loved torn from you in an instant hurt BAD. but that's not the point. The point was that I was about to be killed for being a part of a species that was part of a prophecy to release the God of Death from his eternal Damnation in Purgatory. I was chained like an Animal. Which I was, all of us were. I was a Sheep, most favorable for sacrifices of course. I’m pretty sure I was the last. Last of my kind? Maybe. It's impossible to tell when your head is locked in place with a giant metal Collar restricting your movement. If it was any tighter I probably would have died from suffocation. Better than what awaited me. I felt a hand push me down, had we been moving this entire time? I tried to get up but the metal collar was too heavy, my head was on a block of cement. I could smell the blood on it. And then, a voice. “You. You are to be executed on the behalf of the bishops!” The voice said “What is my crime?” I asked shakily “That is unimportant” The voice replied. Unimportant? I could see a figure in a burlap mask walking towards me. What was he holding? An axe? “Any last words?” The voice asked I would have said something cool like “Yeah, Fuck you” or “Long live the Lambs!” but before I could even Mutter something my head was relieved from my body. It took a few seconds before My vision faded but I could see Four figure Towering above my now decapitated head. The Bishops. I could feel my soul lifting up. Looks like the prophecy wouldn’t come true after all. Well, that would’ve been the case but then it wouldn’t be a very interesting story now would it? I opened my eyes. Where was I? Some sort of Cloudy wonderland? I stood up and looked around. That's when I realized that my neck was still bleeding. In fact, my head was still detached from my body! “You” A voice echoed “Do you know where you are?” “I would like to presume heaven” I said shakily still “That is a good guess. But I’m afraid you won’t see the pearly white gates just yet” The voice replied with a loud and echoing voice. That's when the clouds began to clear, I could see the Towering figure in front of me. The God of Death Himself, The One Who Waits. “Y-Your-” “Death? Yes, that I am Lamb” He said cutting me off “My siblings thought they could pry you from my grasp but I am the wisest of them all” He said, A sharp and menacing smile pierced the Veil he wore.
