AU where both the Lamb and Narinder die during the battle between each other, and the red crown kinda panics and in an attempt to resurrect one of them, resurrects a fusion of the two. Uh oh an eldritch horror

A deity created from the blood spilt of two other deities. A shitten that never gets to know their biological parents and never really gets a childhood. The cult treats them as you would expect, godly. Created from the blood of their lamb and the god the lamb once worshipped. Two gods in one body right?

They bring back the bishops and their relationships vary from bishop to bishop. Shamura keeps mistaking them for either the lamb or Narinder, like a grandparent. Kallamar fears them. Leshy thinks they’re cool. Heket understands the situation and doesn’t put too much blame on them for their parent’s actions, actually a bit protective of the young crown bearer.

Aym and Baal eventually do get resurrected and are like protective older siblings. Don’t leave their new siblings side, and they are the new red crown bearer and directly related to their (dad) late master. They are obligated to protect them!

For the Shitten AU

I can see the Lambs most trusted disciples taking on the role of raising and teaching them. They just saw a god and their most loyal follower who very well could have become a god themselves fight to the death. So when they see the red crown accidentally create the new being before them from the blood of the fallen gods…. What is there to do but go forward. Their lamb gets a burial, the one who waits gets what they can get as close to a burial.

The shitten is born in their young adulthood an in between of their parents ages. Magic birth from panicking trying to resurrect one of any two people is odd. They have vague memories from both parents. But they are fully their own being. It’s like the red crown accidentally fused the souls of the lamb and Narinder together. So there is no way to resurrect them at all anymore.

The red crown while embarrassed by the panicked choice, doesn’t regret it at all. It has a bearer doesn’t it? The spawn of two of its most competent and powerful bearers.

The mystic sellers are fucking confused. Weren’t you a lamb a second ago?? Our Shitten makes deals to help resurrect Aym and Baal, vaguely having memories of them from Narinder. The two adore their new sibling. While they are absolutely devastated at losing Narinder, they vow to protect their new sibling. They happily answer questions about Narinder and the Lamb. Despite the fight they technically just had with the Lamb, they still have fond memories of them. And hearing about their death leaves a similar stinging feeling when they heard about Narinders death. They were starting to see the Lamb as family they realized.

Ratau helps of course. Rat grandpa

Something something my au version of post-purgatory Kal is permanently sick and unable to work, but he feels like he needs to be useful in some way or else the lamb will get rid of him. Struggles to make it to a sermon. Gets noticed, reassured, and praised all at once. Love wins.

Happy one-day-after-valentines-day.

I filmed kallamar dying in a car crash

(50 follower special)

FUCK CAPCUT! HOW DO PHONE USERS LIVE!!!!!!!

[tostadaquemada]

Comic that I made because I realized the outfit I draw Kall in looks a lot like one of in-game wedding dresses.

The context here is that he just got back from attending one of the cult's weddings, and he's realizing that, oh, his outfit looks quite similar to what the bride was wearing.

I tried to color it to make the comparison make more sense but I fucked up so lineart is all I have. Plus this was originally meant to be a late Valentine's Day post but I only just finished it now. So really it's just been a mess all around. Take it before I start disintegrating.

Bonus shithead content:

Can't stand this mf 🖕🦑

Small quick sketches because I can't just forget that @alllgator-blood 's Kallamar is based off of a peacock squid.

This-

this took a while to make (like 3 days?)

I really wanted to make an animatic to this song with Cult of the lamb bc im hyperfixating on them both-

Instead of being excecuted like in the game, my lamb was traveling in a group trying to run away from the bishops when they got ambushed by them instead :)

for extras i used some of my followers lambs/goats!

i dont know their tumblr handles so ill list down here their users:

Who’s the best aunt/uncle/auncle of of Nari’s siblings toward the babies? Like, most affectionate, most doting, etc?

As far as most affectionate and doting....

🍃 Probably Leshy; I imagine him spending the most time with them and being up for playtime and baby shenanigans.

🦑 Kallamar would probably give them a lot of expensive gifts (some of which they can't really do anything with because they are Babies, and the 'rents just store them away for when they're older).

🍄 Heket would probably stop by to make sure they're eating okay (I feel like she's really low profile with how she shows care to other people).

🕸 And Shamura...they might feel a little overwhelmed and be consumed by thought when they're lucid, hardly able to believe their eyes at their once-damned brother having a full-fledged family of his own.

[tostadaquemada]

I was thinking of designs for Leshy and ended up with LORE.

The way the chains work in this AU are rather grim. They are directly connected to each Bishop’s heart. For Leshy to break his chain he needed to tear out his own heart. Needless to say that was a very painful process and he very much technically did die

But thanks to his brother and the powers the green crown gives him over chaos and order, he survived. And crown bearers can eat hearts of other deities to gain strength….what happens when a deity eats their own heart?

Needless to say he very much is a glass cannon, and his and Narinders followers are very protective of him.

Edit- connected magically. More like a key to the physical chains

Theories surrounding how the mushrooms in Anura are not the creation of Heket

In my comic series Fairy ring, I mentioned that the Menticide Mushrooms are not the creation of Heket, and the main storyline is associated to this setting. Although you could look at it as a feature in an alternative universe, I do believe that this may be how things unravel in the official game... (It may be disproven. After all, it's just a non-canon theory.)

Prof 1: The Serpent's Tablet

The Serpent is a key character that only appeared in the DLC in the form of "offering the truth to the Lamb". They are mentioned to be the greatest fanatics in the BGM and the comment of the Five Bishops, they worship and defend the Great Ones, which refers to the Gods who created the world in COTL, and tries to unearth their past.

In their fifth tablet, the Serpent documented that they discovered a place with a Godly skull, with small mushrooms that have spots like eyes around it.

(Shamura made their debut in the seventh tablet.)

This could be referring to Sozo's place in the realm of Anura, where there is a giant skull.

In the background, there are birch trees with red eyes.

This shape seems like the "all seeing eye", but there is one alteration: the line representing the eye crosses the lower eyelid by a great length. My friend adds that "this makes the eye resemble the shape of a mushroom".

(P.S. There are also different symbols of eyes in Kallamar and Leshy's realms, I also have theories surrounding them, but let's not get into it in this article.)

Although this shape is scattered across Anura, it seems that Heket may be trying to suppress it. Unlike Leshy, who directly mentioned that the chaotic flowers in his realm are not his creations, Heket did not mention whether she appears earlier or later than Menticide Mushrooms. But... since it already appeared by the time the Serpent is still alive, Heket probably should not be credited for the creation of these mushrooms.

Prof 2: backgrounds during the crusade

I don't know if the background assets would appear randomly and there are actually more backgrounds for one type of map, but let's assume that there are only one type of background for each type of room background.

In this case, there are actually changes in Anura for regular background and purged version. Last time I checked, Anchordeep seems to be the same in both forms. Darkwood may have changed a little. Please allow me to make further testing before reaching a final conclusion.

So, the first thing we see is the candles lit on small, white tree trunks. This may be Heket's attempt to suppress birch trees, which would be infested with mushrooms in the background.

If the trunks grow further, it would show signs of the same red eye-shapes. Furthermore, there are no complete birch trees in the game foreground. They are all chopped or suppressed.

Someone has to put the candles there. I don't think regular followers would dare to touch their beloved leaders' creations. Therefore, it may be the order of Heket towards diciples and followers to do so.

There is also a mushroom in the background with frog eggs atop. Other mushrooms do not have the same shape of red lines on it. The shape looks like an eye sewed together...

Next, let's look at one room that has changed in regular and purged versions ——the giant frog skull room.

First, let me ask you, have you seen giant spider, squid, or worm skulls in her siblings' realms? The answer is no, right? (There are giant skulls of other species, though)

Even if there are skulls or corpses of the same species of the Bishops, they are usually in simpler form.

But these giant frog skulls have exactly four eyes, something not even Heket's followers or disciples have.

It's as if the game is hinting at her demise, and Heket may be using these followers to predict how much time she had left due to the infection.

In addition, in the background, the purged version had visibly more birch trees and visibly more mushrooms grown out of these trees.(You may zoom-in to see the pictures above)

Due to her absence, no one is still suppressing the Great One. Therefore, the trees and mushrooms begin to grow wild.

The initial room for the crusade and the sacrificial room also changed. There are dense birch tree forest in the background in purged version of Anura. I forgot to take pictures, though. *cries

Prof 3: Heket's "tatoos"

The red eyes happened to grow around her wound, where it's assumed to be the weakest. Therefore, it would be more like an infection than fashion choice.

In addition, making tatoos around her wounds would be linked to painism. It's probably too painful.

The eye patterns also disappear when she is in purged form. Maybe the God no longer feels the need to infest and pester her because she is no longer in charge?

In purged form, the mushroom surrounding her statue also dies.

Also, her follower form seems to have healed from the infection. Or it may just be the creators being lazy and not adding details.

Prof 4: Heket never mentioned associations to Menticide Mushrooms in her conversations. The game let SOZO tell the lamb about it instead.

In addition, Heket got mad when the lamb handed her mushrooms after the indoctrination. Although we usually interpret it as her getting angry because lamb is being pitiful to her, it might also be that she hates these mushrooms? Maybe that still makes sense?

The game seems keen on making little word-plays. Like how Forneus mentioned "how can you say no to a God". Before the DLC, we just assumed that she ment Narinder. But eventually Shamura confessed that they were the one who took away the kittens. So the "God" was actually referring to them.

This may be the same for Heket's case?

I believe that prior to Narinder's betrayal, Heket was doing a good job suppressing the God under the instruction of Shamura. But … due to her injusry, she slowly faded and by the time Lamb appears, Anura is in such a worse state. Also, despite Kallamar and Leshy are also suppressing Gods in their realm, the madness in Anura does not mean that Heket is weak or anything. This God is the most active one, and has begun to be active long before Shamura was even born. It might be the hardest chore for the siblings, and healthy Heket was handling it just fine. So... bad kitty!!! Bad!!

Also, if this theory were to be true, then Narinder would be doing her a favor by killing her prior to her death from the fungus infection. Good job, kitty!

Ok that concludes my theory. If you have anything to prove or disprove it, feel free to tell me!!!

Found out Cult of the Lamb added babies and that I could marry Leshy so I finally won it for the first time

[tostadaquemada]

Idk man whipped this up at midnight because this game has been rotting my brain for the last week non stop

Translation for my awful handwriting under the cut:

*Just watched the Lamb annihilate a witness in a fraction of a second*

*took them with on a crusade as a "bonding exercise"*

Narinder: "What have we created Leshy..."

Leshy: "We?"

L: "We!? Who the fuck is WE? YOU caused all of this!"

Lamb: "Ah! Would you look at that! They're finally talking to each other."

*distant screeching noises*

Lamb: "I'd consider this a successful bonding session, wouldn't you agree?"

The crown stays silent and stares disapprovingly
