#here is all of my good cotl art so far

[odetoalostpairofkeys]

Trix!

Might make this digital and color it. Maybe. Perhaps.

Anyway she stole that fox from Flix. It reminds her of the Little Prince. Flix doesn't mind.

Also have a sneak peek at Lethe who I have not introduced yet but I like this drawing of them and I know I will forget to post it later so

Might also make this one digital, if I have the motivation.

Hm fun fact about Lethe, they know how to braid hair!

I swear I'm going to post the story soon, I'm just trying to find a beta reader and figure out how exactly to post it lol.

[acis-arts]

Hello everyoneee, I got super busy recently, but I was still able to do some art and writing in the meantime! Here's all my Cult Leader Designs as well as mentions of the AUs I have!!

Some of these will probably change over time, if I feel like it. I just wanna info dump on my AUs and I also think it's good to post how they currently look instead of waiting for too long.

Down below is the info dump on my AUs:

(Before you start reading: "Kali" is the name of my Lamb)

Lost Crowns AU (/Forgotten Lands of the Old Faith):

This AU was called "Forgotten Lands of the Old Faith" at first, but I refer to it as "Lost Crowns AU" mostly because that name fits too and is shorter.

This is my main AU! In it, the entire story of the game is pretty much unchanged, this AU focuses more on what happens after the events in the game. I haven't finished the game yet and I'm assuming after getting all Bishops, the game is pretty much done. (update because I wrote these notes some days ago: I got Shamura in my cult today so I finished the main story at last)

"A few days after freeing all the Bishops, Kali wakes up and something is missing. The Red Crown is gone, all Crowns are gone. They run to find Narinder and the Bishops, but none of them are behind it. Together, all 6 of them try to confront the Mystic Seller next, but upon arriving at the gate they were always situated in, they find nothing."

The Mystic Seller left the Lands of the Old Faith for good and took everything supernatural with them. I haven't thought about a solid reason for that yet, because my main idea behind this is that Kali and the others are now forced to live without all their supernatural powers. They can't perform Rituals, they can't resurrect, they can't summon weapons and none of the Follower necklaces work anymore. The only thing that was left is the immortality of Kali, Narinder and the Bishops. They won't age but the risk of dying permanently is there.

I have no idea if I want to keep this idea or if I want to scrap this, but I also thought about Kali finding a gateway into the lands of the Gods and together with Narinder, they try to find the Mystic Seller to get answers. The reason Narinder comes along is because he's more familiar with that place and Kali would need someone like that. The second reason obviously being that I want to pair them up and have them develop their relationship over this adventure (with a proposal at the end of it perhaps). Third reason: it's fun to have the Bishops take care of the Cult without Kali and Narinder around.

I have so much more stuff for this AU, but this is already so much text. Let's hope I get to post more in the future!

Swap AU:

This is pretty self explanatory and the majority of what I posted on here so far. As a short summary: Narinder is now the Last Cat remaining, becoming the Vessel of Kali as The One Who Waits

No Mercy AU:

This is based on the second save file I have in COTL, on which I'm trying to do an "evil route". In this AU, Kali isn't kind and optimistic, instead becoming a callous, cruel cult leader after receiving the Red Crown. Up until that moment, they were at the bottom of the food chain and upon receiving the power of a God, they were finally the one in control for the first time in their life. They decided to never let go of the Crown and their Powers.

Orange Crown AU:

This AU is pretty much just my close circle and me inserted into Cult of the Lamb. So far my partner and me are inserted as NariLamb and my brother is the Mystic Seller because he looks like them. This one is probably uninteresting to most of you, as you don't know any of us. I won't be posting that much about this and keep it private mostly, but maybe some of you are still interested in the art, so let's see.

As always, Thank you so much for reading up until this point!! I hope you all had a good week!

✨ISAT Sky: Cotl!AU Q&A ✨

Welcome to the Q&A! A space where I can answer related or similar question about the ISAT Sky: Cotl!AU! If you submitted your ask anonimously, then you’ll have to check the whole post if it’s answered here, if it’s not, worry not! Your asks might have been used for a future comic or just in the queue~

Anonimo ha chiesto: sometimes when im bored i just go to your profile to position your pfp to siffrin's hands so it looks like they're holding you

I feel threatened bc if Siffrin would know what I'm making them pass through with the next comic updates he would crush me insteantly with a fist.

Anonimo ha chiesto: Damn Siffrin is dying and no one will ever remember them. 😔 Oh Loo~ooop!

Loop coming to save the day even tough they aren't paid enough for this shit

Anonimo Siffrin isn't aware of the hole in the wall you can go through for those two statues without having to get pelted by rocks smh my head. (said jokingly) ((Love your comic btw!! Thank you for this AU, I love it))

THE

WHAT?

YOU CAN GO THROUGH A WALL TO GET THEM WITHOUT RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE?????

Anonimo My reaction to this chapter of ISAT COTL CROSSOVER AU (10/9/2024) GO BBG YOU GOT THIS IN THE BAG!! OH YOU DO NOT GOT THIS IN THE BAG.. oh now you're out of the bag oh god ruh roh

Oh yeah he does NOT have this.

Anonimo pst hey hey are you gonna pose the statues, it would be funny i swear totally not more heartbreaking for siffr- WAIT HOW WOULD THEY REACT TO THE FACT YOU CAN BARELY SAVE ALL OF THE STATUES WHEN YOU REACH THE FOREVER STORM PART-

he has enough memories that he should recover a good amount of statues. It's not a matter of wheter or not he can save everyone, but mostly themself....

Anonimo ha chiesto: Hey so I cannot believe I am so late to see your ISAT and Sky AU because I love!! Both of them!! So much!! And I just wanted to thank you for making it and sharing it with us because it’s really cool! And both fandoms need more attention imo <333 @ucorpwhalingyaoi ha chiesto: I know NOTHING about cotl but my god your isat au of it has made me want to play it so bad 💔 (very /pos…) @primrosechronicles ha chiesto: HEYYYY ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE SENT AN ASK!! Ive been silently reading the isat comic since my last ask and im very very proud of you for making this far!!! mwahh!!! Thank you for inspiring me to play sky again, cuz if not i wouldn't have able to meet my sky friends Anonimo ha chiesto: first of all, I came here from the shadowpeach au but your comics dragged my ass to the ISAT fandom second of all, HOW DARE YOU PLAYED WITH MY HAPPINESS LIKE THAT (love your art and story telling, I wanna eat it like a fancy dinner) @prince0fghosty ha chiesto: It's been hard for me to find Sky: Children of the Light content anywhere! I found you through a friend and not only are you interested in Sky but also Lego Monkie Kid this is truly the best day ever!!! I got back into the game because of you. I like to help moths out in Eden @phoenix-is-here ha chiesto: You are the person who introduced me to the ISAT fandom and I gotta say thank you for that. That's one of the best games I've ever played and I would have never known about it without stumbling onto your account first (because of a strong hyperfixation on a show about monkeys ofc) so.. Accept this virtual cookie and glass of milk as a gift : 🍪 Anonimo ha chiesto: I followed for the shadowpeach, stayed for Sky CotL, keep cookin

HIII!!! AND TYSM!!!!!

@elianaroselight ha chiesto: This feels a little silly, but what is ISAT? I read through your ISAT Sky AU comic and I feel like I am missing half of the story. I love what I'm seeing so far and want more, but I also don't know or completely understand who the characters are and why I should care about them (more than I do already at least). Sorry if this is silly. I just want to understand.

ISAT is short for "In Stars And Time". It's an RPG game made by @insertdisc5. ABsolutely go check it out otherwise you wont understand a thing about the characters of the AU!

when i was reading the most recent page of the In Skies and Time™️ comic I had the most hilarious image in my head of just a bunch of sky kids smacking down on the same area and making this. sky kid pileup????? [since it seems liek theyre all gonna come back like that..] it was super funny to imagine 30 CAR PILEUP 🔥🔥🔥

AWWW SKY KID MOUNTAIN!! Lol probably it would happen? Like when you do Eden just after reset and when you get reborn there's like 7 other players clipped in you rebirth animation in the aviary /home space

Anonimo ha chiesto: Awwwww Bonnie was so excited 😢

poor Bonnie they will get their comfort moment eventually

@sohrleas ha chiesto: YOU YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I got Sky 'cause I saw your isat sky au and got super curious about the game Your art is beautiful and I love it 💚💚💚

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!

Anonimo ha chiesto: HOPEFUL STEWARD WOOOOO-

IT'S MY BOY!!

@o0mochacoffee0o This isn’t related to you Bio dad AU Like my usuals- I just saw in your abut that you like CotL! Now you share two of my interests!! I���m curious to know your favorite parts of the game, if you have any ships, head canons, etc!! I always love listening to people’s opinions on things I love!

About Scotl? I don't have any specific headcanon, but I do ship Moments Guide and Reassuring Ranges. The only thing that I crave for that game is MORE LORE GODDAMN IT

Anonimo ha chiesto: When I said the fun was dying. I did not expected this. I'M SCREAMING AND PUNCHING THE BED NOOOOOOOOOOOO SIFFF

*sips coffee* welcome to hell (literally)

Anonimo ha chiesto: "is that thing a sadness?!" sweet summer child that thing is a menace of death

It absolutely is

Anonimo ha chiesto: Poor Siffrin’s gotta be absolutely TERRIFIED Big scary beast thing spotted them AND suddenly getting bathed in the color they associate with bad stuff? I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t be quaking in their boots.

He is in desperate need of comfort that wont come in like- a irl month I think

Anonimo ha chiesto: I know you won’t be doing the golden wastelands but… Once the party discovers that the groundwater has the same effect as the forest rain, Isabeau decides to bridal carry Siffrin the whole way. Leaving Siffrin a blushy mess. Also, almost if not everyone is scared shitless of the Dark Dragons/Krill (totally not projecting)

ooooohh that is soooo cute i'm dying!!!!!

Anonimo ha chiesto: THE FAKE ACT 4 LOOKING SMILE . THE ACT 5 EDEN MOMENT. THE PARTY BEING SENT BACK . DIES "oh yeah if I still have energy I can loop back" ← me when I'm lying

@starlight-and-clockwork ha chiesto: bawling and kicking and screaming and pulling my hair out THAT PANEL OF SIFFRIN ASKING HIS FAMILY TO REMEMBER HIM WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND CAUSE ME MUCH PAIN THANK U<3

@aro-aces-world ha chiesto: I just caught up with ISAT sky au Fuck you /affectionate

Thank you! Be ready to be even more destroyed by the following updates!

@cherryblossomventi ha chiesto: I’m gonna go feral, Sif did that because he knows he can kinda come back from this with the shooting star thing Im guessing but the others cant/might not because they aren’t from this land,,, oh buddy why didn’t you tell them stop being cryptic idiot

Sif doesn't really remember that he can be reborn like in Sky. He knows only that, if he can reach the light right at the base of the cataclysm, then maybe he can return as well.

[the-one-who-lambs]

uhh hello!! sorry if this is a tall order LOL but I wanna ask, do you have any narilamb fanfic recs? :D I already read yours and I really like bamsara’s and I’m waiting for epicaandk’s to update (that one is my fav ever <3) but idk what to read now lol

Tall order?? Naaaaah, I'm always happy to give recs. Oh boy, I'm gonna go in reverse chronological order.

If you've read all of my narilamb fics (have you seriously? I'm impressed, that's probably well over half the 150k+ I've written for this damn fandom. Also, to anyone seeing this from a reblog, my stuff is over at onethirdofimpossible!) then here we go!

You already mentioned it, but The Rehabilitation of Death is excellent so far! This one is by @bamsara who is new to the CotL fandom but apparently not new to fanfic writing; they have a really popular FNAF fic and I assume the well-deserved attention this fic's been getting is a byproduct of the popularity they've already gotten in other fandoms. :D Welcome, bamsara! Many of the fic writers in this fandom are friends with each other already, but we don't bite if you wanna say hi.

Feel No Evil and Language Barrier, both by @payasita. I always love how payasita portrays this duo (in both digital art and writing), with so much sass and repressed loneliness, knowing they're stuck together for eternity and making the best of it. (And maybe falling in love, depending on how dense Narinder keeps being.) What makes these come alive for me is how well thought out the setting is outside the Lamb and Narinder. The descriptions and weight of emotions really pop here.

LITERALLY ANYTHING written by pavi / @i-eat-deodorant. Depending on how spicy you want your fics to be he has even more here. Character analysis, diction, pacing, etc. are consistently 10/10. Top-quality banter between a sassy Lamb and tired old man Narinder. We constantly bounce ideas off each other and inspire each other a lot but I promise I'm not hyping him up just because he's my friend oh my god please just go bless your eyes.

It Was For You, O Death by blueberry-muffin-massacre (if they have a tumblr, let me know so I can tag!). An intriguing alternative ending to the final battle wherein the Lamb chooses a secret third option by refusing to give up the Red Crown and still observing Narinder as the God of Death. So many details are so well thought out and duality their relationship is nicely characterized-- both genuine care for each other and also quite unhealthy. A fine line treaded well!

Confessional by jusmove (again, lmk if they have a tumblr). Been a while since I've read it, but I love how the Lamb chips at Narinder's very carefully built emotional walls. Their personalities are very well fleshed out here, especially Narinder's cognitive dissonance at being able to process love.

Confession by @thewitchoftheweed. I didn't expect a part two to this one, but my god I was so thrilled when it did update. Narinder and Lamb with their unique and parallel loneliness and their fucked-up sense of everything. Their relationship is very rocky here, and I love how they navigate it: with tension and eventual, pained acceptance. Mind the rating.

Of Character Development and Being Dense by @calliecature. A short and sweet narilamb classic. They're both mutually pining and one of them is too emotionally repressed to realize it. Guess who.

Not An Offering, But a Gift by @checkplzjuliet. Small confession fic. I especially love how Narinder's descriptions twist the knife of his situation here, and how Lambert is a total foil for him! There are a lot of good things happening in such a short span, which is impressive.

Also, if you think you've read all my narilamb fics... I do have a secret one out there too. Just so you know.

Happy reading!

I'm already friends with many of the people here, but if any of the writers I've tagged have been kinda wanting to reach out for a while but feel a little anxious... Don't be. I've made my best friends in this fandom by literally just waiting for some of my readers to get over whatever assumption they have that I'm cool and say hi. Or being the more confident one first.

[vines-of-mine]

Intro post/Pinned

First and Foremost: THIS IS NOT AN RP BLOG. This is a fictionkin blog! Please be aware of that and be respectful. I'm happy to be kind to those with good-faith questions (even the "dumb" ones) but please be kind in turn.

This is a sideblog of mine that I made to talk about my fictionkinity alone, so I'll only be going by the name Alhaitham on this blog. I use he/it pronouns, and I'm 21. I'm auDHD, so please be aware of that. I don't plan to mention my other kintype here much, but my only other kintype is an oceanic dragon. (if you want my other blog bc you're a similar kintype or smth, feel free to DM me. I'm not keeping this blog hidden perse, just separate.)

I am Alhaitham. I am also a Seelie. These kintypes are not separated, to be clear; in my canon I was a Seelie descendant, which in my case made a full-blooded Seelie. I'm very far from Genshin's canon, in many ways. I plan to use this blog as a place to talk about my experiences as a fictionkin, from the beginning. I've only known this part of myself for a few days as of making this blog. Questions aren't just accepted but encouraged, send me as many asks as you'd like! This blog is for journaling about my fictionkinity and discovering this part of myself more, so I'm open to being asked things I may not even know yet about my identity. (Or, hell, whatever else you'd want to ask about.) "Doubles" (other Alhaitham fictionkin) can absolutely interact and I'd be happy to chat as long as you're kind.

My interests include: Writing, Genshin Impact (duh,) Sky COTL, reading, horror as a genre but I'm so picky about it that it's nearly impossible to navigate, witchcraft, arts and crafts type shit of various flavors (this does not mean I'm good at it,) Minecraft. Definitely lots of others that I'm forgetting.

DNI: I know DNI's are pointless, but this is more to let you know my stance on things than anything. Basic criteria, just have basic kindness and respect and I don't have a problem. The only thing I think outside of that is that antishippers/anti's, while I don't hate them, would probably hate me since I think that I'm technically proship. That doesn't mean don't interact, just don't harass me. Honestly I'm still not clear on what the whole debate is I've just been told that I count as proship because of my views on fandom etiquette. Be nice, I block freely, that's all.

I intend for this blog to be safe for everyone who isn't hurting someone. Let me know if something I post needs tagged!

Homestuck^2, re: p1-21

Page 1, 2

Long panel, that first one! ... That white blot in the middle isn't a floating alchemiter. XD Ooh, that's Jake's spaceship, the one ostensibly shaped like a shark? Looks like a human from this far out.

Woow, it looks cool from upfront, Dirk / Postscriptum Narrator didn't do it justice! And Jake's logo echoes Grandpa's real nice. Still, I wonder how Jake with a moustache would look like in this art style - no wait, that was Candy Jake.

Heh, there's Dirk coming up in his anime outfit. The big orange window he's behind actually remind me of Dirkbot's shades.

---

Page 3

Hmm, Dirk's been keeping plants. Guess even he grew bored of cold, metallic rooms.

His outfit is appropriately over the top. Though it bears repeating that he's at least 26 years old right now, which edges on ridiculous.

---

Page 4

Of course he's messing with us.

And of course he immediately felt the need to squash all hope the metafictional commentary from the epilogues is over. This both sets the mood, sets our expectations straight, and immediately confuses the hell out of everyone that should stumble on this website without an idea what Homestuck is.

"This is so meta"? No, I think we might actually have to start pointing out when some piece of narration ISN'T meta, at this point.

I like how Rose's dialogue is integrated into the site.

The fact that there are no news posts under the comic means that there's no need for the crude "show *log" buttons from before. But still, I like that the text is bordered up, boxed up. It invokes the same feeling from before + come to think of it, it could serve as a reminder that all spoken text is more "limited" than the narration.

Glad to see Rosebot is back to acting more like she used to. She's going to be mighty miffed once Dirk loses control over her thoughts and she fully realizes what he did. Meanwhile, I am pleased she has taken up where AR left off in passive-aggressively messing with him as a sentient former-biological currently-artificial person.

... Also, comparing Rose's soul essence to wine? I'm not sure she'd appreciate the analogy, given her history with the substance.

---

Page 5

Cool! Sprite mode is still a thing! Look at all that neat stuff. Yeah, we're back to introducing people in their living rooms. And hah, of course Rose's appearance would be obscured for now, similar to what happened early in Act 6.

... Hah, of course Jake would omit a landing gear.

Strange that Dirk wouldn't know of it. Guess he only knows about things outside his realm of influence if he focuses on them.

Also, letting the blind girl fly the spaceship, real smooth.

Yup, like I thought, it was another three year trip.

I would think Terezi's rather sick of lonesome trips through the void by now. But that she's impatient might have more to do with what Dirk promised her to get her on board with whatever he's planned. Johnsprite?

Hah, Rose thought Dirk was anxious about a Heroic death. Nah, that one isn't in the cards for him, but a Just one's something he very much fears. ... Kind of ironic how the troll most obsessed with Justice is the only other one on his crew.

More confirmation that the trolls are functionally mortal. I wonder if the implication is that trolls are naturally resilient to the decrepidness that comes with aging for humans? That they stay looking fresh until the day of their death, I mean. And that it's more often of unnatural causes that they die in the first place.

Even though trolls were said to not have longevity in the lower castes on Alternia, that could simply have had to do with circumstances. Even on Beforus, I can see how coddling could lead to early deaths.

I mean, it would have been a shitty deal for Karkat, otherwise. Only having a few dozens of years of being a god (I'd assume), in contrast to Kanaya and Terezi's several hundreds.

---

Page 6

Pffff, okay, Dirk, so he claims to want to "fix" what Hussie screwed up about Homestuck's format. Acknowledging the story's title, cool.

What, does he mean something gone wrong early in Act 1? In the B1 session? Jack getting his hands on the bunny.

Good that the narration goes back to black, even if it's still "spoken" narration, it's more readable like this.

...

Wait.

What?

Did he actually accept suggestions at this point? You just know some things there would have been seriously out there, like - bring back Dad Egbert! Let Gamzee and Dirk kiss!

...

Or is that another way in which he trolls us, the readers?

... I'm actually sort of doubting it.

Cool though!

If he did it once, he might do it again.

That's actually, indeed, one of the things in the format Homestuck was first represented in, that was really cool, the direct input from the readers!

What will we have had him do, I wonder?

"> Dirk: Commune."

... I... My first thought was him communing with horses, Tavros-style. That's not it, right, it's gonna show him take a moving sidewalk to the cockpit? ... Right?

Please don't have Dirk commune with horses, Tavros-style.

---

Page 7

Oh, wait, it was COMMUTE that I was thinking off. Welp!

Pffff, he communes with the readership.

... There's pretty much no way the first suggestions isn't gonna be "squack like an imbecil and poop on your desk" or something.

---

Page 9

Yes. Hell yes. Thank you, whoever you were. This is appropriately obnoxious and cheeky.

----

Page 11

Ahhh, sweet vindication. Hypocrit, thine name is Dirk Strider.

----

Page 12

Hah, he just scavenged the entiry of Homestuck for his room. Props for the bullocks.

Why did Terezi write that message on her wings, though? Did she know when he took them?

Using that big mug with Jade's face on it as a fern pot, hahah.

Those green boxes in the middle of the room don't look familiar. They probably aren't speakers, right?

That he even considers creating another iteration of Lil' Cal, ugh. Can't argue with Maplebot, though.

He's using CotL as a stool support, really now? :P

So I didn't comment on it before, but it seems like the other plants in his room are all cacti and related flora that doesn't require a lot of watering. Probably for the best, I don't think Dirk has a green thumb.

And the garbage can seems like it could have been alchemized by crossing it with a forge.

Hahah, even the painting Hussie crowdfunded that campaign for is here.

----

Page 13

... Pffffff, whut.

No, huh?

Okay, so Bro strider got the painting gifted to him by Barack Obama, sure... But, Dirk implies he holds Barack in the palm of his hand? What the fuck is that supposed to mean.

Is Dirk trying to reboot Earth A or B on this distant planet?

Or it's meant more figuratively, further evidence that Barack and Bro were intimate.

---

Page 15

Pffffff. Hell yes, trollsonas.

Dirk is a unicorntroll. Of course. Dave was penishead.

I understand how this could have very quickly gone of the deep end with Karkat's reaction, and Calliope's. Of course Dirk would have meticulously developped his character.

Why do Calliope's, uh, Callie's pupils look like squares, though?

---

Page 16

Of course that is why the plants are discolored. Genetic mutation. Not like, JPEG or GIF artifacts. :Page

... Waaaaaait a minute. Is Terezi giving Dirk commands somehow? Does she have a narrative prompt? There's no "Dirk:" before the command, was that supposed to be significant?

---

Page 17

Oh hell yes. Perfection.

This is the new normal. Characters openly commanding others. It's the next level to Sburb's interface, when you think about it.

Hah, Terezi acknowledges this is the third boresnore she's spent flying through a void, heheh.

And oh, so Terezi felt it when Dirk started narrating again. Obvious in hindsight. Also, it's apparently due to her aspect, she thinks, and not just it being Mind, but Dirk's being Heart. She knows her potential choices are being externally monitored and manipulated, in an ephemeral way. That's actually quite cool.

Dirk gives Terezi the power to command him for a while. The fool. She's going to have him eat the plants now.

---

Page 20

I like how he's EMPHASIZING the items that he's INSPECTING while he talks verbally, now. :P Narrative bleedover, I think I'll call it.

---

Page 21

Yup, a stool support.

So, Rose wrote her own version of CotL. I wonder how much it differs from the original work (the B2 version I mean).

Hah, Pony Pals was a dense read for Terezi. Well, I suppose Dirk's version would be. ... Oh it was mostly the memes she had trouble with.

---

Well, I think we did a fair bit of reading already.

I'm glad of the progress we made on the first stretch, actually.

Also glad to get a climpse at the meta shenanigans we're in for.

Good to see some sweet things have been brought back to the forefront. Like misattributed quotes, bedrooms and the people standing in them, and Terezi Pyrope.
