Supernova 2023 Day 2 Report!
Tumblr media
I had the opportunity to go to Supernova 2023 at Adelaide where on Day 2, I spent some time walking around and buying many things!
It was a big convention filled with so many people and cosplayers from all sorts of media!
I went with my good friend Pie (@piedivide) who you will see throughout the report! Thank you for the fun weekend!
Here is Day 1's report.
The report is below the cut!
Day 2
This time, I wasn't in cosplay. It was nice not needing to worry about dressing up and making sure everything looks good. I could sleep in a bit more too!
Although I slept rather late that night admittingly because I spent a while recording many random Tiktoks that I've been publishing slowly lol
I wanted to record some videos while still in cosplay. This was the only time I had and so, through the sheer power of my will, I made like 30 random videos before my eyes had enough and I took my cosplay off.
Feel free to follow my Tiktok below if you want to see them!
Tumblr media
Anyway, I headed back into the city and met up with Pie! We headed straight to the convention this time around.
Once we got there, we saw an amazing Dan Heng cosplayer! Pie was the one who spotted them sitting, and he gave a complement to them as we walked by.
It was strange that they were leaving already since it was only around 11:30am. The convention was just beginning.
But Pie did say it was fitting for Dan Heng to do so, go in and then leave once he got all the data he needed lol
Once we were there, they let us go through this special gate for people who already had wristbands. I felt like an VIP member haha
Tumblr media
We beelined to the food stands again, since Pie was hungry and I could go for some food lol
We bought pretzels again, but this time I got this one with Nutella all over it, and Pie got a Cookies and Cream pretzel.
We had savory on Day 1, so Day 2 was sweet!
It was an absolute mess to eat it though, I had Nutella all over my hands and even it got on my glasses somehow???? I had to go straight to the bathroom after to wash off the sheer amounts of Nutella on my hands lol
It was good though.
We also got slushies, where mine was raspberry and Pie's was grape! It was pretty nice.
Although I did sort of regret buying it because my hands were so numb for the longest time and it stained my teeth and I couldn't even drink it all ;;
Pie's slushie looked like the Grimace Shake to which I informed him of that fact and I told him good luck lol
It was spending time!
We walked around at first, looking around at what Day 2 had to offer before going to the one artist stand I mentioned back in Day 1's report.
I first bought this beautiful Dan Heng IL print. That was all I wanted to buy initially, but then I saw a beautiful Navia print so I went back and bought that one too lol
Pie got Gojo Satoru, Neuvillette, and Ina prints! They're so cool!
We went back to the book stand we were at in Day 1 and we each got some more manga because yes. I got Komi Can't Communicate Volume 2 and Heart Gear Volume 1.
For Heart Gear, I picked it up and read through like half the book and then decided I would buy it since I liked it lol
Pie got Pokemon Adventures Volume 1, JJK Volume 0, and Hunter x Hunter Volume 11 and 12.
Manga.
After this, we did our tradition of buying each other exactly one print!
We went our separate ways and agreed on a spot to meet up afterwards.
I thought I was sure on which print I wanted to buy Pie, but I soon found I was very wrong lmao.
I walked around the Artist Alley, considering my choices until a beautiful Leafeon print caught my eye.
Pie earlier bought a Eeveelution pen blind box and got Leafeon, so I thought it was rather fitting!
I bought it without a second thought and headed back to our meetup spot. Pie wasn't there yet, so I walked a bit around the area so I wasn't standing there weirdly since I wasn't sure how long Pie was going to take.
I came back and there Pie was!
We sat down nearby and exchanged our prints! Pie got me this super cool Kureiji Ollie print that I absolutely love! So vibrant and colourful!
Thank you Pieeeee.
Tumblr media
On Day 2, Nikola Ðuričko was having a Q&A session! He's a Serbian actor my mum really likes, and so I wanted to get a photo of him for her!
Just to prove he's real and we saw him lol
Originally, we thought the Q&A was at one the small stages the convention had set up.
So we sat down and waited, only to find out that the Q&A was not happening at the stage aha
There was a panel with these two writers instead who were talking about their book and various techniques surrounding writing, which was pretty interesting to me as a writer myself lol
We left after a bit, and looked around for this actor.
We found him at the end standing at his table interestingly, it didn't look like any Q&As were going on.
It was rather confusing, but I accepted it as it was.
At least we think we did find this actor, we weren't sure if it was him or not lol
I took a picture from afar anyway, if it wasn’t I could tell my mum it was him either way lol
We checked the photo after and compared the guy we took a picture of to the picture of the actor on the wall and it was actually him!
Yay! That was that done.
The last thing we did at the convention was buy a sword! Well, Pie bought a sword! The Lion's Roar we held from Day 1.
The person who sold the sword gave some nice advice about Genshin that I listened to rather interestingly lol
Apparently the Lion's Roar is pretty good for Xingqiu, but everyone uses the Sacrificial Sword.
And they were right actually, in the newest event for Genshin, the Xingqiu you can use in one of the trials has the Sacrificial Sword lmao
Here's my haul of everything I got!
Tumblr media
Do you see how pretty all these prints are????
Although now I have to take down all my prints I currently have and rearrange everything to fit on my wall lol
With that, we were pretty much done with the convention.
We saw everything we wanted to see, and bought everything we wanted to have too. On Day 1, we decided that we weren’t going to stay the whole time.
In hindsight, we probably didn't have to go both days.
Once you sort of see everything, it gets sort of boring?
Like there's nothing else to do aside from walking around or playing any of the games, which all spots are usually taken.
But it was still worth going since we now had the rest of the day too!
After we left the convention, we headed back into the city!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had some time to kill before the Karaoke place opened at 6pm, so we went to try Ramen! It was something we've always wanted to try, and we finally had our chance!
The place we were initially planning on going to was actually closed, which we didn't know until we got there lol
It was okay, since I saw another Ramen place back the way we came from! Problem solved.
It was a proper izakaya! It was my first time going to one, and it was very pretty inside.
Once we both sat down, we had to decide what we were going to get. It took us a while to decide since we're rather indecisive haha, I remember just staring at the menu going "uh...." lmao
We had to eat with chopsticks. I had war flashbacks to AVCon and the struggle I had with them lmao
But in the end, I got a signature tonkotsu, pork ramen!
Pie got a tori shoyu, chicken ramen!
We also got some really refreshing drinks that were really worth getting, a lemon and lime bitters and a peach ice tea!
With a side of Takoyaki too!
I wasn't initially going to have any drinks since I already had two bottles of water I should have really drink, but the izakaya had this meal deal where it's cheaper if you get a drink as well.
So I went for the peach ice tea, which was so good!
The ramen was so filling, I couldn't eat all of mine. It was good though! The Japanese eat good like wow.
There was so much noodle! I think I nearly choked at one point aha
But I did get better at using chopsticks at the end, so yay!
I couldn't even eat the Takoyaki aha
I had one and then me being me had my bowl taken away with my chopsticks so I couldn't even eat the rest of it (not that I wanted to anyway, too full from ramen).
I want to go again someday!
Since we still had time to kill, we went to the library and a bookstore, where we instantly beelined to the manga section lol
I was surprised I didn’t want to borrow any manga this time around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We loitered around the entrance to the Karaoke place.
While we waited, we read Komi Can't Communicate Volume 2 together (or it was me reading and commenting on things and Pie trying to keep up with my reading speed lol).
Once 6pm came around, we were back in the building!
We were put in the same room we were in from Day 1 again actually, which was such a coincidence! We did two hours this time!
We both made a list of songs we wanted to do, so it made things a lot easier.
Of course, we did 光るなら to redeem ourselves from how rudely we were shut off on Day 1 lol
I won't list all the songs but:
I did Sparks by Takanashi Kiara, Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin, Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone (I love this song to bits), Diamond City Lights by LazuLight from Nijisanji EN (I knew the chant section by heart, of course), and Five Nights at Freddy's by The Living Tombstone (har har har)!
Pie did Kick Back by Kenshi Yonezu, end of a life (Calliope Mori), and Unravel by TK and Kyoran Hey Kids by The Oral Cigarettes!
For some of the songs Pie did, I was vocal backup lol
It was loads of fun! I definitely felt more confident singing this time around.
My dad actually called me in the middle of Pie singing randomly lol
Our two hours was up rather quickly, and we headed back to the train station.
This ended our weekend on a high note!
Tumblr media
All in all, I had so much fun!
I never thought I would have the chance to go to one convention, let alone two this year! Especially cosplay! (●´ω`●)
All of these things were a sort of pipe dream for me until this year.
I kept saying I'll do it one day, but when was that day going to come?
Would I have to wait years?
I probably wouldn't even do it at that point.
All my other friends aren't as into anime and all this stuff like me. They know of it but they're not super crazy invested into it as I am.
I could ask them to, and they probably would go if I asked, yet I feel like they wouldn't enjoy as much as I would?
And so, I just never thought the day would come. I would watch others go but never go myself. A bit sad actually if I think about it lol
But I'm glad to say I did! I did manage to go to a convention! I did manage to cosplay!
You did it, past Miku!
Thank you Pie, I'm grateful that we could cosplay and go together! I won't forget this weekend! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
I'm planning on cosplaying and going to more conventions! I have a whole list of characters I want to cosplay that I hope I can complete one day.
We have a lot of plans for next year, so keep an eye out hehe.
I'm going to go into study mode so I can do better makeup and wig styling! One day, I’ll be like those impressive cosplayers!
Thank you for reading Day 2's report! I hope you enjoyed hearing about my experiences. ٩( ᐛ )و

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely
like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.
#every time someones like ''AI will replace u" im like. u will have to fucking KILL ME#there is no replacement here bc i am not filling a position. i am just writing#and the writing is what i need to be doing#writeblr#this probably doesn't make sense bc its sooo frustrating i rarely speak it the way i want to#edited for the typo wrote it and then was late to a meeting lol#i love u people who mention my typos genuinely bc i don't always catch them!!!! :) it is doing me a genuine favor!!!#my friend says i should tell you ''thank you beta editors'' but i don't know what that means#i made her promise it isn't a wolf fanfiction thing. so if it IS a wolf thing she is DEAD to me (just kidding i love her)#hey PS PS PS ??? if ur reading this thinking what it's saying is ''i am financially capable of losing this'' ur reading it wrong#i write for free. i always have. i have worked 5-7 jobs at once to make ends meet.#i did not grow up with access or money. i did not grow up with connections or like some kind of excuse#i grew up and worked my fucking ASS OFF. and i STILL!!! wrote!!! on the side!!! because i didn't know how not to!!!#i do not write for money!!!! i write because i fuckken NEED TO#i could be in the fucking desert i could be in the fuckken tundra i could be in total darkness#and i would still be writing pretentious angsty poetry about it#im not in any way saying it's a good thing. i'm not in any way implying that they're NOT tryna kill us#i'm saying. you could take away our jobs and we could go hungry and we could suffer#and from that suffering (if i know us) we'd still fuckin make art.#i would LOVE to be able to make money doing this! i never have been able to. but i don't NEED to. i will find a way to make my life work#even if it means being miserable#but i will not give up this thing. for the whole world.

It’s finally done, guys – five whole pages of Narilamb AU comic AND MORE be upon you! (If you have trouble reading any of the text, view the full-size! These pages are huge!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeesh, this took forever. <:)
There’s probably a ton of inconsistencies and anatomy/perspective wonkeries, but this was mostly just comic practice, so Oh Hekkin Well, Lol <:D
(Yes, I am aware the Gateway’s door isn’t present in the Afterlife, and the actual way in is just a pentagram portal. Yes, I put the door in there anyway because Artistic License, i.e. it felt more impactful for there to be a prison door of sorts to walk through to freedom, rather than just a bland boring portal on the ground. 😠)
anyway, i hate backgrounds so much lmao
Alternate ending and a buttload of bonus art under the cut, followed by goofy AU rambles and headcanon stuff:
I’m calling it the Revival AU. It’s not all that creative a title, and someone else has probably used it already, but I am too lazy to really care, LOL
Alternate ending page, which you will Definitely need to view the full-size for, Whoopsie Daisy:
Tumblr media
The alternate ending was actually the first ending I finished things off with, because I had a brief badbrain moment where I forgot the emotional beat I initially wanted the comic to end on, and I tend to write comedy, anyway. I later remembered and drew out the proper ending, but I preserved and finished this one, too, because it still makes me giggle.
They had to go back for the followers off-screen in the AU’s real ending. And by ‘they’ I mean just the Lamb, because they weren’t about to ask three newly freed cats to go back into what used to be their prison. The Lamb DID spend some time watching Narinder and the bois enjoying the outdoors first, though:
Tumblr media
In other news, here’s the Lamb and me making fun of my anatomy-drawing ‘skills’:
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, if you’re wondering why the Lamb is just a-okay with how things went down vis a vis Their Murder, this bonus comic should answer at least some of your questions:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah, yes, also this is how they get engaged outside of the alternate ending. Forgot to mention that bit. XD (I already refuse to believe that Narinder is capable of flirting normally, so why would his initial marriage proposal be any better???)
Oh, and before any of them get a chance to actually head back to the cult grounds, there is one potential problem:
Tumblr media
And by ‘problem’ I mean something Narinder intends to ignore for At Minimum a thousand years. Cuz he’s a petty bitch like that. :D
what do you mean i drew the lamb too tall compared to the background? clearly they’re standing on top of baal and aym lmao, why else would you think those two aren’t in this one??? (aym and baal got way too excited about finally being outside, you see, and their silly modes are nothing to sneeze at)
And, speaking of heading back to the cult grounds, I’m sure y’all would love to know how the Lamb’s followers felt about the brand new change in management:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It all went better than expected. <:D Tiny ramble now, feel free to skip down to the next comic.
Before you ask, no, the Lamb does not have any actual powers anymore, other than the immortality Narinder definitely grants them. The Red Crown just thinks it’s funny to suggest otherwise, and Narinder does nothing to discourage this. Also, the Lamb and Narinder aren’t actually married here yet, but, uh. Pretty safe to say that particular ritual directly follows the events of this comic. XD
Given how quickly he mellows out in canon, Narinder probably chills out a lot in this AU once he’s in charge of the cult, too, if only because 1.) He’s finally free, and 2.) He’s equally smitten with and distracted by the Lamb. He’s definitely in charge at least 95% of the time, though, because the Lamb never actually wanted to be a cult leader and, now that their time as a vessel is done, they just want to be a normal(ish) sheep who’s wholly devoted to their hot new divine husband.
Some followers do still have some valid concerns about these two being together, though, which I’m sure at least a few of you might share…
Tumblr media
Unfortunately for any such concerns, the Lamb is a bonafide masochist in this AU. :D
They’re also 100% a sub, obviously
Anyone at all: Your relationship is problematic and potentially toxic
The Lamb: fuck yeah it is, it’s so hot~ OuO
Here’s just the last panel, made transparent for whatever nefarious purposes y’all might have for it:
Tumblr media
Additional exchange Narinder and the Lamb have at some point, probably after the Lamb does a fatal whoopsie while out on a mission trip or in response to things getting a little too sadistic in the bedroom, ahaha:
Tumblr media
Look, there is a very important distinction between life and death, and if you don’t understand that, then you’re probably not worthy of being the God of Death, anyway. (At least, according to Narinder, and ONLY Narinder.)
Last but not least, have these shittens:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
~Such creative naming conventions I have utilized, lololol~ :D Anyway, there's a few deets on them in the rambles down below.
The rest is all ramble, so before I get to that, I’ll just say – likes and especially reblogs are very much appreciated!!! :D If you happen to really really REALLY like my stuff, meanwhile, I do have a link in my bio to my ko-fi page, where I’m accepting commissions and donations if you’re especially generous… ÓuÒ
Now, BE FREE IF YOU AIN’T DOWN FOR READING MY GOOFY RAMBLES
First ramble is re: Baal’s question of ‘Did it really work?’, since I didn’t feel like expanding on it in the comic proper, and it’s arguably pretty vague? He doesn’t ask because he doubts Narinder or his capabilities, exactly, but because neither Baal nor Aym have ever actually seen their god at full power before (he’s still technically not at full power here, either). It’s not expressly stated how soon the brothers were brought to Narinder after his imprisonment, but whether it was early on or after a length of time for Shamura to (somewhat) recover from his attack, he must have already been weakened, since I have no doubts that there was a huge battle that accompanied the Bishops working together to trap him. So, between that fight with all four of his siblings, sharing his power with a variety of vessels over time, and being chained immobile for a thousand years, he must have been severely weakened by the time he lent the Red Crown out to the Lamb, which would have only weakened him further.
I like to think this is how the Lamb is able to defeat him if they refuse to be sacrificed, despite how it took all four Bishops working together to subdue and chain Narinder in the first place.
All that aside, the three cats have been trapped in the Afterlife for so long that Baal also wanted verbal reassurance that they are all, indeed, actually able to leave it now – something that I headcanon isn’t possible without a significant amount of power (i.e. the Red Crown’s cooperation with its bearer/vessel).
(On a semi-related note, I don’t headcanon Aym and Baal as twins. I like sweetheart big bro Baal and snarky little goth bro Aym too much to have them be that close in age.)
Ah, teeny thing: If you noticed I switched up the art style for Narinder on the second page, that was intentional. It's sort of a visual indicator that there has been a Big Change for him - that being, how much power he has after sacrificing the Lamb. As for why I changed up his arms in the grass rollin' pic, I don't really subscribe to the notion that his arms are spooky bones because they're horrifically injured (beyond chain-chafing scars, that is), but rather just because he's the Bishop of Death, so he can change how normal-to-spooky they look at will. At some point I might doodle out how I imagine his appearance to range between least to most eldritch... 🤔
Next ramble, regarding Narinder’s feelings towards the Lamb...he was initially too focused on being freed from his imprisonment to form any real attachment to them. They were a tool for his use, first and foremost, but he did notice their intense devotion towards him. It was impossible not to notice, because the Lamb was always very happy to see him, even if it was because they died during a crusade (yet again). He wasn’t originally planning to revive them once he was freed, either, because he saw no real point to it – after all, they were already dead when they first met him, just as any other mortal would be when meeting him in the Afterlife, so death has very little real consequence in his eyes. But, once the chains were off, and it really sank in that he stood to lose the most devoted follower he’s ever had, he decided…why put their soul to rest for good or leave them stuck in the Afterlife when he could just as easily revive them again? And why not reward them for their hard work, anyway? Not only would it cost him nothing by comparison, but the future devotion that could come of it would surely make up for his (bare minimum) effort in reviving them.
He wasn’t expecting to get a full dose of that devotion and a smiling face so soon after killing them, though~ :3c (because the Lamb is a bonafide freak, and not-so-secretly into the fucked up power dynamics going on here, lol)
I should mention here that I am firmly of the belief that any non-god/vessel who crosses through the Gateway and into the Afterlife just straight up dies. So, Aym and Baal? Also straight up dead, from the second Shamura brought them through. Their souls were just never put to rest so that Narinder could have some company – if only according to Shamura. Narinder kept the two around mostly out of bewilderment, because honestly, who are these kittens, and what is Shamura’s game here, anyway??? They never even explained anything, they just tossed these kittens into the Afterlife and LEFT!!! At any rate, Aym and Baal being dead is how I explain why their souls apparently become lost in the void if they’re killed, along with the added complications required to revive the two because of it.
So, with those deets in mind, and given a bit of time, if Narinder hadn’t chosen to revive the Lamb, and also hadn’t chosen to put their soul to rest, they still would have woken up at some point, despite being as straight up dead as Aym and Baal. Who, don’t worry, were also properly revived while Narinder was waiting for the Lamb to wake up. Because I am also firmly of the belief that, first, the dead cannot leave the Afterlife without the use of a ritual/relic (and can't stay in the living world for long regardless), and second, dead followers’ devotion isn’t anywhere near as potent as that of the living, given how much more the living stand to lose.
Final ramble, regarding the Lamb’s feelings towards Narinder, and why they’re so devoted to him…
Well, you don’t spend most of your life on the run with your steadily-dwindling herd, trying to evade the ongoing genocide of your species, without becoming a little fucked up in the head. Maybe a lot fucked up in the head. Life is suffering, so might as well have fun with it, right? Maybe start finding death and pain to be kind of hilarious, even a little bit hot, once everyone you know and love is dead and gone, leaving you all alone? And maybe after that, there’s something comforting in how, despite the cold, cruel uncertainties of life, at least you can always count on the inevitability of death, patiently waiting for you until your very last breath? Who knows. Either way, as soon as the Lamb was killed, and they learned that the literal God of Death was offering them a second chance at life and vengeance via effective immortality, they were 100% ride-or-die-devoted all at once. Turns out death is kinder than life – go figure. (Of course, it helps that Narinder is 100% their type.)
They weren’t put off by Narinder’s thinly-veiled sadism or manipulations, either – they’re not too different in those regards, albeit opting for vastly different methods. It’s a very ‘two sides of the same coin’ sort of deal. In order to stay alive once they were made the last of their kind, the Lamb had no qualms with using others to their advantage, and that did not change once they were revived and expected to run a cult. They didn’t care for the position of authority, though – being a sheep and all, they’re much more of a follower than a leader, and thus greatly appreciated Narinder’s need for control. With how they had to keep on their toes for so long, the Lamb was also pretty good at reading people by the time they died, so they could recognize that a lot of Narinder’s posturing was just that – posturing. Dude’s 95% bluster and only 5% bite. He could obviously be vicious when he wanted or needed to (the Bishops' injuries were clear proof of that), but underneath his outer layer of cruelty was a generous layer of tsundere, and underneath all THAT was a soft squishy middle sibling velcro cat in desperate need of attention and affection.
(Which, for the record, he Did Not feel comfortable getting from Aym and Baal – Narinder still has no idea why the fuck Shamura sent them to him, beyond acting as keepers at best or trying to sabotage his attempts to escape at worst. Which, he thought HE sabotaged in turn, by guiding the kittens into being his devoted disciples instead. He thought he was very clever for it. ‘I outsmarted Shamura!’ he thought, despite that there was never anything there to outsmart. ‘What do you mean, Shamura sent your kittens to me for company?’ he demands of Forneus later. It may or may not lead him to pull Shamura out of Purgatory just so he can shake them and scream about how they should have Fucking Explained that!!!)
But, getting back on track as to why the Lamb was so willing to be sacrificed, I cannot stress this enough – if you pay even a minimal amount of attention to what he’s saying, Narinder is REALLY NOT SUBTLE about his intentions. ‘Death is of little consequence.’ ‘Followers are for you to use to your advantage.’ ‘Sacrifice a follower to absorb more power.’ So, yeah, the Lamb knew exactly what would be expected of them once the other Bishops were dead. They knew Narinder would expect them to die for him one last time. But, after all, death is of little consequence (not to mention hot), so when the time came, they wanted to see him freed, even if it meant oblivion for them in the end.
He’d given them a second life, and the ability to avenge their kin, and they felt indebted to him for that – so, while they were still pretty glum about the possibility that they might not get to see him free of his chains, nothing beyond their devotion and debt to him mattered. They never wanted all the drama and expectations that came with the Red Crown’s power, anyway, so, better for Narinder to have it back so that he could deal with it. What he did with the Lamb afterward would be up to him, and seeing as he was their god, they’d accept his decision gladly.
Were they in love with him by that point? Oh, obsessively so, but only in the devotional sense – romance was nowhere on their mind nor radar. That is, until he unexpectedly revived them again, told them he still needed them, and then offered down his hand to help them up.
The Lamb fell HARD for him in that moment. :3c
And now, a tiny shitten ramble. Lu and Li are twins, because sheep tend to have those a lot, and are conceived not long after the Lamb and Narinder’s marriage ceremony. Lu is the minutes older one, but Li is much more mature. I have put no further thought into these two, other than that they are utter menaces, birthed by the Lamb, cling hard to both their parents but especially Narinder (who spoils them rotten), and they are both genderfluid, using whichever pronouns/names they feel like at any given time. They are also both intersex, same as the Lamb, who was initially infertile up until Something Something Vague Magic, which I have also put no further thought into ¯\_(シ)_/¯
oh, and before anyone tries to suggest i headcanon this AU’s lamb as trending more female due to them giving birth or whatever, no, no, a thousand times no, they might have a vag, but they've also got a dick, and even if it's not as big as they'd like, they still know how to use it
Finally, the very tentative name for the Lamb in this AU is Yazdi, which is really just another name for the Baluchi breed of sheep XD (Not that the Lamb is this specific breed, I just didn’t like any of the other sheep-related names I found, ahaha...)
THAT’S ALL FOR NOW (collapses into an exhausted pile of goopy limbs)

hebehjeabaje I did a warm up doodle of Mikey on the canvas and liked it so much I wanted to incorporate Mikey somehow (literally made up an excuse just to drop a bunch of easter eggs for fun).
