Bryn's "Lack of my own art" Art Exhibit

[latent stump]

give me lore about the lighthouse keeper

bc like???

[wispy onyx]

Aym and Baal made it back to their mother and are exploring the world, the Bishops are just trying to survive in a world they once ruled, the Lamb's on his way to ascension to true godhood

I would LOVE to sail away with Plimbo and see the world

[smoky kestrel]

Come now, Baal and Aym existing only to get you two relics is very good use of them. /S

[ember echo]

And fallen god Haro is still standing there doing sweet FA

Because yes

[frank siren]

why are aym and baal so happy to become cult members that they become literally personality vacuums

FUN FACT: THEY NEVER ONCE EXPRESS AN INTEREST IN GOING BACK TO FORNEUS

NO QUESTS, NO DIALOGUE

NOT EVEN FOLLOWER THOUGHTS

[wispy onyx]

Yea I always found that kinda weird

[ember echo]

There's something making

Missing

[frank siren]

it's literally a "look up a guide, loser" moment and i HATE IT

[vital glacier]

tbh i think its like the reason lamb is very blank slate is due to the fact you can run your cult either benevolent as possible or as a tyrant

id think itd be hard to like give lamb a concrete personality

[wispy onyx]

You gotta guess that they go back to Forneus cuz it's not really said

[latent stump]

holds up fox AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS MOTHERFUCKER

[smoky kestrel]

Freaking Valefar gets more dialogue than Baal and Aym combined in the Monster Prom crossover.

[latent stump]

WHERE DID BRO COME FROM?

[ember echo]

He looks like a reference but he's probably not

[vital glacier]

honestly i want fox lore but i am worried it could result in ratau ressurection

[wispy onyx]

^ It's a role playing game, it's like how the second they gave a Fallout protagonist a concrete personality everyone hated it

[frank siren]

CAN I PLEASE KNOW WHY THIS GUY EXISTS AND WHY HE ISNT SHIPPED WITH HELOB MORE

[latent stump]

WE GET ABSOLUTELY NO FOX LORE WE HAVE NOTHING ON THAT MF

[ember echo]

Personally I desire for him to remain dead

[vital glacier]

i do want a diff way to get the wolf form though

[smoky kestrel]

I will forever headcanon that Fox wants Ratau because the latter owes him a fuckton of money due to gambling.

[wispy onyx]

Idk I like the idea that the Fox is like
The devil basically

[frank siren]

im feeding that mf to the fox every time to get this wolf form idc

[ember echo]

I'll presume it's simply a natural predator thing

[wispy onyx]

Dude shows up to strike a deal and sow chaos into the world before disappearing back into the shadows with nary a word

[latent stump]

i want offical fox lore RIGHT now

i actually

[wispy onyx]

I'm headcanoning that the Fox was a crownbearer tho :)

[ember echo]

Really feels like an unintentional reference to something

[smoky kestrel]

If Fox goes unused, he's free real estate for me to use.

[latent stump]

i SHAKE with viceral rage whenever i think about how they just have these side characters and then do NOTHING with them

[vital glacier]

honestly how i see fox is kinda like death from pibtlw but obvs not death

[ember echo]

The God of Arseholery?

[frank siren]

the way that the fox was a very integral part to the game's advertising bro

HE WAS THE MAIN CHARACTER IN AN ARG AND HE GOT NOTHING INGAME

[vital glacier]

tbh i just wanna know what the fuck is up with monch like girl what secrets do you hide?

[frank siren]

IM SAD

[latent stump]

frothing at rhe mouth

[wispy onyx]

I love Monch

[ember echo]

Tbh it would be interesting if we could just leap in as bro leaves

[latent stump]

i made a whole ass oc just to explain where he came from

[ember echo]

Coz a lot of people wanna see under there

[wispy onyx]

Just a girly that likes to party and I love that for her

[latent stump]

monch is my little sweetie pie

[vital glacier]

also hot take but i may or may not prefer foxlamb over narilamb

i mean both ships are not healthy but ironically foxlamb is healthier than narilamb imo

[vital glacier]

real

[wispy onyx]

Or him idk it's never stated if Monch is a guy or not

[ember echo]

Foxlamb???

That's a thing?

[vital glacier]

yea?

[spiral tusk]

💀

[wispy onyx]

Foxlamb is way worse what

[ember echo]

Why

[wispy onyx]

The Fox would eat the lamb without a second thought if he thought they could take em

[ember echo]

Why in the name of all the fallen gods is that a thing

[latent stump]

Both are seemingly extremely violent immortal beings

[spiral tusk]

thats true

[ember echo]

At this rate just let Chemach make a relic of us

[spiral tusk]

and murderers

[vital glacier]

well think about it this way

you actively chose to do the fox questline

[latent stump]

they are like the same person but nari didnr fight those he could kill

[latent stump]

that is true

[ember echo]

Eh, that's three characters associated with some form of death

The other is Haro

[wispy onyx]

Maybe the whole point of the Bishops story is like
Second chances and all
I mean they all are bad people but like yk

[latent stump]

ok but Haro actually serves a purpose

[ember echo]

What's that

[frank siren]

exposition dumping

[vital glacier]

feels kinda weird to do second chances with the people who literally caused a genocide on the sheep species though

[latent stump]

they are like “the nararator” in rpg games almost

[ember echo]

Ain't got much to hunt no more I guess

[wispy onyx]

I mean

If the Lamb wanted them back there's nothing stopping em

[ember echo]

Also his crown's apparently dead

So that's fun

[latent stump]

I would love haro lore

[ember echo]

It kinda exists

[vital glacier]

ehhh idk i feel like theres limits to lambs resurrection powers

[wispy onyx]

Haro is the ex god of the hunt

[ember echo]

Very briefly

[ember echo]

What's the letter to the owl meant for anyway

[latent stump]

but given their role is just the narrator we wont get explicit lore in game

[wispy onyx]

They're the god of death, they are life and death
I mean I can bring back a 150 day old corpse like it's nothin

Yk what the writing does suck why doesn't the Lamb just bring back their kind

[ember echo]

Because why would they

[vital glacier]

i personally think they cant

[smoky kestrel]

Something something only the ones that have a connection via worship.

[ember echo]

Worship is essential

[wispy onyx]

Oh true

[vital glacier]

yea

[ember echo]

Gods need it to stay as gods

[wispy onyx]

Narinder was only bringing back people who worshiped him

Probably a requirement

[ember echo]

God knows I'd rather filter through COTL theories all day instead of having college tonrorow

But can't

[vital glacier]

or the lambs bodies were completely disposed of

[wispy onyx]

Idk I like the writing of the game, that's what we were talking about
Feels like the story is wrapped all nicely up

[ember echo]

Thanks for the info, and gn

[wispy onyx]

You can dig up Lamb graves though

[ember echo]

Probably burnt, ritualistic or something

[wispy onyx]

Tbf they're just like

Nothing but bones and hostile skeletons

[vital glacier]

i never assumed those were lamb graves tbh i just thought it was a regular gravesite

[wispy onyx]

I thought they were lamb graves cuz of the notes talking about killing the lambs

[vital glacier]

yea
honestly idk why the lamb isnt more pissed off abt the fact their kind is dead and theyre the only survivor

[wispy onyx]

Idk they got their revenge

[smoky kestrel]

Twisted fucking psychopath
Or
Hiding it all behind that smile.

[wispy onyx]

The Bishops died and relived their deaths over and over again in Purgatory before the Lamb was like "alright that's enough" and pulled em out

[vital glacier]

granted i have a hc/theory that some lambs escaped the lands of old faith and settled down somewhere else/found community somewhere else so our lamb isnt the only lamb but lambs/sheep in general are still extremely rare especially what would be considered purebreed sheep ( ie sheep w/o another species mixed in )

[wispy onyx]

Don't forget, times different in purgatory. Who knows how long they were in there for

See that's what I love about the cotl lore

[frank siren]

i hc that there's actually a lot of lambs in the jalala lands

[wispy onyx]

There enough to give a place to jump off of

[vital glacier]

aw wait thats so cute actually

[wispy onyx]

I hc that there are plenty of lambs out there, and that the Bishops only killed the ones that were in their territory

[vital glacier]

yea thats basically what im thinking

i also think a lot of the lands outside of the bishop territory are much more advanced

[wispy onyx]

The Bishops were definitely holding people back that's for sure

[smoky kestrel]

World outside the lands of the old faith: Modern or at least industrial age, life is pretty much normal

Lands of the old faith: Regarded as "those weirdos" by the rest of the world.

[vital glacier]

yea i think its industrial age ( probably late 1800s-early 1900s )

i think at the latest its 1920s ( though its a bit of a stretch )

[wispy onyx]

Hrmmm

Jalala didn't seem too concerned by the fact that everything's so primitive

And Plimbo doesn't have anything fancy despite being able to go anywhere

[vital glacier]

tbf in plimbos case you literally can only get cards and i think some decor items from him

[wispy onyx]

Like not even on his fish there's anything fancy I mean

[smoky kestrel]

At the absolute minimum the technology for photography cameras, tape and those vinyl record players from ye olde times exists.

[wispy onyx]

A phonograph you mean?

[smoky kestrel]

I think.

[wispy onyx]

Or a gramophone

[smoky kestrel]

That one I think.

[wispy onyx]

I think I have a gramophone mothballed in my attic somewhere

[smoky kestrel]

Can see all those things in the CotL music stream and in Jalala's journal.

[wispy onyx]

Tbf the cotl music stream isn't canon

Jalala's journal, however...

Wait wait wait lightbulb

[vital glacier]

i always assumed that Jalala might have lived somewhere less advanced

[wispy onyx]

Anime is real in the cotl universe

I think societally most places are advanced but technologically about the same

[vital glacier]

hmm ig but i do think some places are more advanced tech wise

[wispy onyx]

That would be neat

Some steampunk stuff

I hc Forneus isnt from the lands of the Old Faith

Considering her uhhh
Unique speech patterns

And outfit

And everything about her

Prolly a pilgrim that stayed bc her sons were taken and she felt as if she couldn't leave em behind

[smoky kestrel]

Pretty sure the traumatic event of losing her kids broke her and her speech pattern is all about happiness to not let it creep in.

Or at least that's my one braincell guess.

[vital glacier]

bro imagine being forneus and having your children taken away to be given to a gift to a locked away god so he " wouldnt be lonely " and said locked away god didnt even care abt them

[frank siren]

and this is why

i say

those three are underwritten

[vital glacier]

i think aym and baal should be pissed off at nari tbh

smth abt how artists depict nari and aym/baals dynamic rubs me the wrong way

like are ya'll forgetting nari said he didnt care

[smoky kestrel]

They reject reality and substitute their own.

[vital glacier]

yep

like at best nari was neglectful

[wispy onyx]

I'm pretty sure Narinder's just lying to himself

[vital glacier]

ehhhhhh

id say that but like

we never rlly had any interactions between nari and aym/baal besides nari saying he didnt care abt them

[wispy onyx]

Yeah I wish there was more about them

But that's what fanfictions for ig

Oddly enough it feels like we don't have much lore to the game

[frank siren]

i literally have a "aym suffers from stockholm syndrome" headcanon

hi fellas it's me

i give every character a type of mental disorder™️ /hj

[wispy onyx]

Like, all we know is the Bishops were nobodies, found the crowns Chemach made, then became gods and at some point Narinder decided he wanted to be the biggest god and got sealed away in stinky cat jail

Then he went all "random bullshit go" to try to escape and now the Lamb is his last chance

[vital glacier]

NONONONONO I AGREE

Aym seems like hes incredibly devoted to Nari

[wispy onyx]

I just don't think they know any other way

They were taken when they were kits, all they know is Narinder and vague memories of their mom

[vital glacier]

like i think Baal is too but i think Baal was able to sorta break from that line of thinking faster

[frank siren]

baal never really addresses nari which makes me think one of two things

1. the writers didnt wanna write baal
2. he's trauma repressing his experiences with nari

the first one is more likely but the second one is funner to think about for moi

[latent stump]

1. For reality 2. For angst

[frank siren]

i like angsty hi

[latent stump]

me too

[wispy onyx]

On one hand, I'd like an official answer
On the other hand, I like being able to come up with my own answer

Decisions, decisions

[frank siren]

one of the twins mentally represses the experiences they had with narinder due to trauma

and the other twin has stockholm syndrome

[wispy onyx]

We got enough lore for headcanons and fanfic which is lovely

[frank siren]

isnt that such a fun reality that i headcanoned for these two

[wispy onyx]

I mean that sounds about right

Now my heads full of ideas for a comic or sm

[frank siren]

i can help you write dialogue

i know these cat boys better than anyone else since i nerd about them so much

[wispy onyx]

I had an idea where Narinder runs into them while on a mission and Aym like immediately kneels and Baal is all "We owe mother our lives and the Lamb our freedom. To him, we owe nothing." and then idk Narinder gets all pissy and skulks off

[vital glacier]

ye
its also why i gravitated towards aymlamb esp with my lamb bc Solange kinda knows whats its like to have stockholm syndrome but to a lesser extent ( she lived with a farmer after the last of her family died ( she was like 19-20ish? ) and that farmer was a weirdo/creep who wanted to marry her but Solange couldn't leave the village the farmer lived in because she'd be in danger of getting executed ( granted the farmer sold her out anyways but still ) )

i also think that Aym has a very " i was raised to be a weapon " mentality and Solange was sorta forced to be a weapon/vessel for Nari so they can relate on that aspect

[wispy onyx]

I'm fond of Lambinder but like
It doesn't make sense in canon and I don't pretend it does

I hc that deep down Narinder does care for them and that manifests as him leaving them the hell alone

Like "My entire wack ass family ruined theirs, I'm just gonna let em be and pretend I don't care"

[tough moss]

Oh hey I missed the Unholy Alliance conversation during my long nap

Wild how the cleansed relics quest left me so disappointed that it contributed a lot to my CotL hyperfixation ending

[wispy onyx]

Idk I played them after my hyperfixation had waned a touch so it wasn't too disappointing

Just wish there was more too it, they felt a tad rushed

[frank siren]

we just get each other

[vital glacier]

i also hc that aym overheard nari say he didnt care abt them to lamb

idk if baal overheard in my hc ( probably bc he wasnt ressurected yet )

[tough moss]

Same, I feel like UA would’ve benefited from more development time

I know Nari’s entire thing is not caring ( 🙄 ) but he really didn’t say anything about Aym and Baal dying in front of him, damn

[frank siren]

that's literally

my least favorite part

about the entire thing

"nari's a tsundere, nari's just an uwu bean he acts like he doesn't care" mf didn't even care when his found family sons died right in front of him

[vital glacier]

and i hate that ppl ignore that

[wispy onyx]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

[frank siren]

me when people forget that aym and baal have had not a single person in their lives give a single fuck about them until they got reunited with Forneus

and people act like it's a criminal offense comparable to a crime against humanity to want to give them back

i don't get it 😭

[wispy onyx]

Do people act like that?

[frank siren]

from what i seen kinda

[wispy onyx]

It's best to take them away from Narinder

A lot of the writing in UA is good it's just
Rushed

The worst kind of bad is missed potential

[tough moss]

Forever thinking about the exchange that was like

Person: “Wait Nari is a tsundere? I thought he was just an asshole”

Lori: “He is”

[vital glacier]

naris a bitch ass motherfucker and im tired of seeing narilamb everywhere

[vapid bobcat]

i read this and my brain hit autocomplete and

[final ledge]

I COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. NARI IS A BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER- /j

[spiral tusk]

OMG 😭

[vapid bobcat]

hold on i've had an idea

[valid kestrel]

HE FORCED MY FUCKING HUSBAND INTO WORKING FOR HIM

[frank siren]

IT'S TRUE THOUGH

[vital glacier]

average lamb sermon /j

[wispy onyx]

I've come to make an announcement, the Lamb is a bitch ass motherfucker, he usurped my fucking crown, and then he said his cult was "this big" and I said that's disgusting so now I'm making a callout sermon to all the followers. Lamb, you've got a small cult, it's like the size of Ratau's cult but way smaller. And guess what? Here's what MY cult looks like!
Aym and Baal appear

For real though all the Bishops suck and are mean and nasty

[tough moss]

Yeah <3

[wispy onyx]

Shamura is the only one I'd consider okay because they clearly regret the horrible things they've done

Leshy thrives off doing bad stuff, Heket does too, and Kallamar's convinced he's just doing what he needs to survive

And Narinder doesn't see anyone else as people

[tough moss]

They all suck equally imo

[vital glacier]

ya

its like half the reason that in my canon theres new crownbearers for the remaining crowns and the bishops and nari ( to an extent bc solange is kinda fucked up sometimes ) have to watch as the new crownbearers are like actually semi decent people and realize they all suck/sucked

[tough moss]

Ooo! I’ve seen a few AUs like that, they’re pretty interesting!

[wispy onyx]

I love those kinds of AUs dude

[vital glacier]

yea! i have a design for one of them but it was a trad sketch

ill talk abt it on my channel

[vapid bobcat]

Things are being set in motion

[frank siren]

completely off-topic from cotl

there's just some shots in the new Walten Files video that just are hOLY SHIT

spoilered for unsettling content obv

my fellow sheep, this is not a good look </3

-# Original video: The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit (which this video is a sequel to the video named The Mysterious House, go watch them both they're super fucking creepy and cool)

thank you for listening to my ramblings about this sheep

[ember echo]

wh

christ alive this series scares me

[vapid bobcat]

hey
i watched kwite watch this series

i wonder if he'll check back on it

[vapid bobcat]

personally it's less scary and more excessively gruesome, but it's still perfectly unsettling

brynd if this is less than 20 words i'm feeding you a bar of soap

[frank siren]

okay WOW this is a really weird announcement for me to make, huh?

This may not matter to literally any of you, it matters to somebody out there, but rfguhdfgk

I'm officially discontinuing every other AU I have except for Red Crown Aym and Tears of the Past and Present

So why am I doing this? A few reasons, actually!

1. Freedom of ships & characters
   I bet it got extremely weird seeing me ship myself with Aym right after seeing me say that I ship Aymgoat. At least I think that people found it odd seeing as my OC (Bryn) is actually canon in Tears of the Past and Present, so this ship has been discontinued.

2. General disinterest from me personally
   I dont know why I decided that selfship Aym was worth its own weight in gold compared to everything else I've decided to write

3. 2 AUs is just easier to keep track of
   Red Crown Aym and TOTPAP are pretty simple AUs as far as continuity goes in my opinion and anything else owned completely by me would be pretty extra.

With that being said, I do plan on making series guides on these AUs one day and I want to continue writing for them again now that I've gotten decent at formatting dialogue scenes between characters, and I hope that people like them when I do decide to keep writing them.

Series guides? The fuck have you lost your mind you fucking weirdo

YES. I HAVE. SHUT UP

(it'll literally just be a list of characters canon to each AU, their personalities, sexualities, ages, and stuff like that, also a general plot summary. where i'll hold these is kind of up for grabs since i have no idea where these will actually be stored. maybe a word document? idk)

so that's the announcement chat

no bars of soap for me

[smoky kestrel]

Good that you set your mind on this instead of making AU after AU that are stuck in limbo.

[frank siren]

wait i literally have a toyhouse account

i can just use that

[vital glacier]

yea i think thats a good choice bc aus can be hard to keep track of

[frank siren]

I GOT INVITED TO TOYHOUSE LIKE 3 MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVENT USED IT 😭

HELP

[vital glacier]

for cotl i do have a couple aus but tbh the only one i fully focus on is basically my version of " canon " ( which techically has two split paths so its kinda 2 aus in one )

[frank siren]

all i have is my oc canon stuff and red crown aym

red crown aym has a much more solid premise

[vital glacier]

i also have two modern aus ( one tied to my canon basically being the events of cotl happened but now its like 20XX and my lamb and the new crownbearers are just kinda vibing and the other is just a reg ol modern au )

[frank siren]

MODERN AUS MY BELOVED

i'd probably never make one since there's already like 9000 of them already and it'd be hard to make mine stand out 😭

[ember echo]

sounds fun tbh

[frank siren]

it's angst heaven <3

[ember echo]

angst art can be good

[frank siren]

i havent drawn anything for those two aus

i just write

[vital glacier]

i havent rlly done much with my modern aus tbh
i did have some stuff for the second one regarding the bishops disablities and shamura's brain damage being from some accident that nari caused and ratau & the knucklebones gang raising my lamb

[ember echo]

eh, i'd be interested in reading it

sounds fun

[vital glacier]

i also should develop that au me and brynd talked abt where the lamb choses to give up the crown and now rules the underwolrd with aym/baal while nari going through it regarding managing the cult the lamb made

[frank siren]

YEE I LOVE THAT IDEA

[ember echo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XkBHYU6QpE essentially just

[valid kestrel]

WALTEN FILES

[frank siren]

that was not included in the discontinuations

HI PIEEE

[valid kestrel]

hiii i threw up ♥️♥️♥️

[ember echo]

rip

[vapid bobcat]

🧀

[frank siren]

</3

do u want me to grab a towel

[ember echo]

would nari go full on genocide route or whawt

[valid kestrel]

no im at home rn im ok

ty tho

[frank siren]

it focuses less on nari and more on how the underworld operates

[ember echo]

hm

the concept is fun

[frank siren]

especially since there's 3 de facto rulers now of the underworld

[wispy onyx]

I love AUs and I'm tired of pretending I don't...

[vital glacier]

ye
i have my own lil version with my lamb that focuses more on her dynamics with aym/baal and nari is more like there in passing

like imagine family guy cutaways gags to nari having to clean up follower shit or smth

[ember echo]

triarchy fr

[vapid bobcat]

4: mental health

[wispy onyx]

I love seeing Narinder having to do menial labor or sm it is very funny

[ember echo]

the eternal punishment for the sinner

[frank siren]

narinder doing very menial labor, sees that there's not a single skull necklace or candle, and loses his fucking marbles

[ember echo]

eh, probably goes more screaming at trees mad than chemach mad

[wispy onyx]

"I used to rule the world, you know."
"Cool, the outhouse is overflowing."

[frank siren]

he still has to take care of the cult bro 😭

there's no other gods to conquer since lamb killed them all

so he just kinda kills random people in darkwood sometimes

[ember echo]

the idea of bro just eternally groaning while still doing what he needs to is relatable

[vital glacier]

except ig Haro if he really felt like it

[wispy onyx]

Nari going stir crazy

[ember echo]

haro isn't a god anymore technically

he undid his own status

[vital glacier]

true but like its more of a last resort thing for nari

[wispy onyx]

Narinder getting cabin fever is my favorite trope in cotl AUs

[vital glacier]

like if it gets to the point hes going crazy he'll just try and fight haro ( and promptly get his ass kicked bc Haro used to be the god of hunt so he can probably kick ass )

omg do you think followers ask nari to let them eat a bowl of poop

[frank siren]

this is why i limit au writing to 2 people including me

i can never get more than 3 people at a time to agree on stuff

[vital glacier]

or ask him to marry them like how they do the lamb

yea

techically my version of the au is a bit different from yours
we just have the same premise

[vapid bobcat]

how nari views himself according to you

[ember echo]

oh christ

[frank siren]

i mean technically we're just gonna be writing for the same series when we decide to

make this real

[ember echo]

that animation is

memories

[frank siren]

an au for an au is kinda
not my vibe

[vital glacier]

ah

[vapid bobcat]

how much of the 5 have you watched/listened to

[wispy onyx]

At some point I watched all of them but it's been years and I don't remember any of it

[ember echo]

eh, i watched that like once, hated the song, and never watched it again

[wispy onyx]

Can't believe you don't like Viva La Vida it goes so hard...

Anyway uhhh AU stuff we're getting off track

[frank siren]

i wonder what we would even call an au based on Lamb deciding to give the red crown back to Nari

[vapid bobcat]

have you seen Rising Kingdom?

[ember echo]

don't you die if you do that in game

[frank siren]

ok buddy

it's called an au

[ember echo]

i knowe

im just

[frank siren]

think
with your brain cells

[ember echo]

im just tryna think of a name based on that

[frank siren]

the whole point of the au

is that

lamb doesnt die

when they do that

[ember echo]

hm

ok then

interesting

[vital glacier]

hmm good point

i was gonna call it lady of the underground for my version with my lamb ( solange ) but if we're gonna use a diff lamb alltogether than it wouldnt work

[wispy onyx]

Idk why nari even kills the lamb it's like

Spite???

[frank siren]

here i'll just write a basic plot synopsis here right now

[ember echo]

that's how i see it yeh

sure sure

[vital glacier]

yea like bro just make us mortal again

[wispy onyx]

Like he gave you the crown you don't got to break every bone in his body

You didn't kill Ratau to get the crown back

[ember echo]

i mean he did just gouge out one of his eyes for the lols

[vital glacier]

wait that was nari?

[ember echo]

idrk

[wispy onyx]

Not canon

[ember echo]

that's how i see it

[frank siren]

Unnamed AU Basic Plot

The entire plot plays out the same the entire game until the ending with the Afterlife Arena where Lamb actually decides to "sacrifice" themselves to Narinder and his cause.

Narinder, impressed with Lamb's devotion to him, decides to spare them the pain of death and instead lets them live in the afterlife as an immortal ruler of the afterlife, along with his two servants/sons Aym and Baal
-# who essentially were also supposed to be Lamb's servants like they were Narinder's servants, but Lamb showed mercy on them this time so now they're also both immortal rulers of the Afterlife, along with Lamb

Narinder now has to run a Cult that Lamb left behind, all of the Bishops are still dead (although with no purgatory since that whole thing was confusing af in canon so they just vibe in the afterlife), and everyone's roles are effectively swapped.

[ember echo]

sorry if that's not

[wispy onyx]

Yall shhhh

[frank siren]

Narinder is the red crown bearer now that has to run a Cult

Lamb is the ruler of the afterlife

[vital glacier]

y'know i dont think i asked this but is ratau still alive or did lamb give him to the fox in this au?

i dont remember if we ever discussed that

[ember echo]

good question

[frank siren]

hmmm

what do u wanna do

[vital glacier]

tbh both are interesting but i lean towards the former

bc i think ratau watching his former master clean up shit and vomit is very entertaining to me

[frank siren]

i think either option is fun to think about

[vital glacier]

or lamb didnt give ratau to the fox but nari ended up doing so

[frank siren]

if we do lean towards fox route, do we:

1. make ratau extremely bitter
2. make him extremely understanding and happy that his life is finally over

since, if we go by my headcanon on how crowns work

[vital glacier]

hmm idk?

i think hed be kinda bitter regardless of if it was lamb or nari who sacrificed him but especially hurt if it was lamb

[frank siren]

he'd be immortal in the mortal plane

if we go by how i think crowns and immortality work

[vital glacier]

ooo thats interesting

i just assumed he was mortal now but ages slowly

[frank siren]

i like to think that he's actually immortal

like Zasalamel from Soul Calibur (only i am going to understand that one)

[wispy onyx]

I always HCed it that he was immortal cause of his prolonged contact with the crown

[vital glacier]

hmm i think ratau would be both happy his life comes to an end but incredibly upset the lamb betrayed him if we do the fox route

[frank siren]

i need to rekindle my soul calibur hyperfixation one day fr

[vapid bobcat]

it could be like a ridership immortality
having the bond with a crown makes you immune to time but you can still be killed
it's also paralleled that this bond being broken allows one to die to age again, but a lot slower

[frank siren]

i like the idea that he's bitter but also happy

[wispy onyx]

I imagine he'd be like "I understand you killed me for the good of the cult and all but you could have at least warned me"

[frank siren]

"im happy im dead but couldnt you have done it in another way that didnt involve a fox chewing on me for a couple of hours"

[vital glacier]

Ggggghh

Anyways back to Nari
Do you think the followers would kinda hate him at first

Bc they were worshipping the lamb

[frank siren]

cult of the cat rolls off the tongue better but lamb treated us better

i feel like is the consensus

[vital glacier]

Yea

Also do you think Nari starts regretting his life choices as the years go by

[wispy onyx]

P sure he already does

[frank siren]

absolutely

[wispy onyx]

His life choices got him imprisoned for millenia

[frank siren]

that's one of the main points of his character in this au is that he's all like "omfg im finally free IM FINALLY FREE" but then a good 7 years go by and he's like "i wanna see my sons again"

[wispy onyx]

He climbs into the offering chest to see them again lol

[vital glacier]

Also iirc he can’t visit the afterlife anymore so he can’t even go to Lamb to ask for Aym and Baal

granted idk if Aym and Baal would even want to go with him

[smoky kestrel]

Aym probably would, Baal I can see preferring making use of the open spaces and sating his infinite curiosity.

[vital glacier]

Fair

[vital glacier]

Also he’s like “ damn I kinda miss my siblings too “

[frank siren]

aym would but cant, baal's happy he's gone, and lamb is hoping for the best for their cult

[vital glacier]

Oh yea

I almost forgot abt Stockholm syndrome Aym

He’d probably try to escape the afterlife multiple times

[frank siren]

i mean he hasn't tried to go back to the cult to see Narinder in the canon game

[vital glacier]

yea fair point

though i think thats mainly bc hes reunited with forneus

[frank siren]

i
got an interview at 9:00 AM tomorrow

may lord help me and my sleep schedule HEBEVSBSNS

[tough moss]

Oh noo dfghjkl

I get up around 12 PM most days, 9 AM is too early 💔

[smoky kestrel]

Get that job.

[frank siren]

im tryin

[frank siren]

reply with whether or not you call the voice in ur head "chat" or not

[tough moss]

I usually just refer to it as “we” or “you”

[frank siren]

i also do that

but it's mostly "we" since sometimes i feel like i am talking to a completely different person up there

[latent stump]

depends on my mood and something else i will not be stating

could be dickhead, chat, or we

[wispy onyx]

The voice in my head is we or us

Sometimes chat

[tough moss]

Usually it’s “you” when I’m scolding myself

[wispy onyx]

True

Like if my brains being mean I'm like "hey asshole you're not the one out here doin this"

[smoky kestrel]

I do not.

[wispy citrus]

I do not

[wispy onyx]

I've met some people with no voice in their head

0 internal monologue

They are not real

[smoky kestrel]

My regular artist friend has that.

He has utter silence in his head and thought it was like that for everyone.

[wispy citrus]

Mines akin to a narrator that likes to occasionally plays fragments of songs.

More akin to a self narration to be more exact on what I mean

[frank siren]

i thought it was like that for everyone and that i was the weird one

[vapid bobcat]

i call it the voices when not consulting it, and whoever's voice it is when it talks to me

[frank siren]

mfw another major hurricane is wanting to hit florida
this is why winter is my favorite season

hurricane season is kissing me on the lips and punching me in the mouth

why is this okay

[smoky kestrel]

Florida is a testament to man's arrogance.

[frank siren]

I LOVE THESE WRONG ANSWERS

"A BAD EXAMPLE OF YOUR WRITING THAT SHOULD BE THROWN AWAY" IF THAT AINT THE TEA SIS

nvm

[smoky kestrel]

This stuff would make me want to introduce a 180° spin to my neck.

Forced group work... YUCK.

[vapid bobcat]

"this is a group project" me doing the entire project alone and then also having time to spare:

[frank siren]

making a geometry dash level

probably gonna finish it one day

[frank siren]

i just kinda realized that i ship Heket and Forneus, but i also made my oc Ryan have a massive crush in Heket

sorry Ryan, you're staying just friends :(

[spiral tusk]

ryan being hardcore friendzoned 😔

[frank siren]

it's okay she's not an Ariana Grande

[spiral tusk]

LMAO

[frank siren]

Ryan saw Forneus and was like "holy FUCK I'm outclassed"

RYAN ART JUST DROPPED OH EM GEE

[frank siren]

just tried to voice my concerns to my parents about 2025 and i got told to shut up because I don't know what's gonna happen

:)

i have such supportive parents y'all

cause I'm tired of bottling it up

I'm fucking horrified at what this guy's gonna do to the country

there's no light at the end of the tunnel

[tough moss]

?? That’s so mean of them what the fuck

You deserve better parents, Brynd, I’m sorry

[latent stump]

Im worried about that and the amount of books being banned as well as the board of education

[wispy onyx]

No matter how dark the night gets, it can't last forever

[latent stump]

But ya no ur parents are not very nice for lack of appropriate words

[wispy onyx]

It's good to have friends you can lean on when things get rough

[frank siren]

i
had to call a hotline cause of everything

i was tired of bottling up and just being perma upset

[smoky kestrel]

That's what they're there for.

Your parents though, ah god.

[frank siren]

they're hopelessly optimistic

[spiral tusk]

yikers

🫂

at least hotlines exist

[smoky kestrel]

Either hopelessly optimistic or drowning themselves in the koolaid.

[wispy onyx]

It's good to remain optimistic but also, y'know
Realistic

[spiral tusk]

true

[frank siren]

god forbid if i ask for a therapist am i right

atp i just kinda wanna keep my head down, live in a rock, and play with my aym and baal action figures until 2028

[wispy onyx]

You have Aym and Baal action figures?

[smoky kestrel]

I don't blame you. I am considering just blacking out every news source ever.

[frank siren]

no but i pretend like i do

sometimes i wonder if i can diagnose my own autism /hj

[wispy onyx]

Oh I did that forever ago
It's literally just all fearmongering to sell more, it's awful

[wispy onyx]

Maybe you can make some out of clay?

[frank siren]

i need the news, i live in florida

lots of hurricanes !!

[wispy onyx]

Oh that's truuuue

[frank siren]

KEKW HURRICANE SARA GOT NERFED SO HARD

[vapid bobcat]

hmmm

[wispy citrus]

Yeah college books are overprized AF

Been there done that nerd

[frank siren]

and nobody has the textbook for free are you SERIOUS

[vapid bobcat]

[wispy citrus]

At times you can find an older version of the book online or rent a current copy at the college shop at the main campus.

[frank siren]

im online

[wispy citrus]

Well the previously mentioned online method you could get lucky on finding a current copy so I wish you the best brynd

[smoky kestrel]

They want HOW MUCH?!

[valid kestrel]

MY TEACHER MADE A CALLOUT POST BECAUSE NOBODY DID THEIR FUCKING JOB IM CRYING

THIS IS TERRIFYINGLY CANON

the average purple crown bearer conversation while they're both in purgatory:

context: haro, vual, seere, and asmodeus are my old god ocs who were the bishops before leshy, heket, kallamar, and shamura (with the exception of haro obviously)

asmodeus had shamura's crown before asmodeus fucking died

o h

oh noHOHO

[wispy onyx]

What is this

[frank siren]

do i need to provide some context as to the baal one

(the website is incorrect quote generator and im using it on my ocs an im just posting the funny ones here)

[frank siren]

OH

[smoky kestrel]

Hmm. You sure that's a strong going relationship?

[frank siren]

canon

[latent stump]

This is just what happened after Lamb killed Leshy

[frank siren]

forneus trying to be kind but making the situation infinitely worse for lamb is kinda canon

[latent stump]

We love her

[frank siren]

so does heket

[frank siren]

welcome to the morning announcement

if you arent streaming Exes by Tate McRae, why aren't you?

this concludes the morning announcement

[spiral tusk]

[full crown]

So silly

[formal tree]

so real (said in a heavy russian accent)

[frank siren]

OMG OLD BESTIE HIII I MISSED YOU

ykw i just kinda realized that in my canon, these 5 would be a family because Forneus ends up marrying Heket down the line

that's absolutely epic

-# art 4 by Colliecalamari

[final ledge]

Heket x Forneus my beloved

[frank siren]

it's by far my favorite canon x canon ship

[final ledge]

SAME LIKE

Women,,,ouuugh

[frank siren]

BAALAMB AND AYMGOAT HAVE NOTHING ON HEKETEUS OKAY

i love women ships,,, not enough in the cotl community

[final ledge]

SPEAK UR SHIT BESTIE

[frank siren]

IT'S ALL BUT WHERE'S THE

fun fact my oc Tyan is bicurious

do what you will with that info

[final ledge]

There's so little sapphic ships in this fandom period

[frank siren]

she is THINKING about SLEEPING with ANOTHER WOMAN when she has NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE and she is Very CONFUSED

-# Art by Rabiesram

[frank siren]

[final ledge]

Gay stuff is great and all but unmmmmmmmmmmm where the baddies at, i need my baddies

[valid kestrel]

TYAN IS SO PRECIOUSSS

[frank siren]

i have a voiceclaim for her for Once IN MY LIFE

it's Noodle from the GSHOCK Watch Gorillaz interview

specific? yes

-# for anyone not as brainrotted as i am in terms of gorillaz, Noodle is the one next to the guy with blue hair

-# Tyan is also very slightly Asian coded

[frank siren]

I fucking love Tyan I don't show her enough love for how much I love her

[wispy citrus]

What would you like to do with her?

[frank siren]

i have an outline of her lore

i can send it after i get home

im at blood plasma rn lol

[frank siren]

i hate it when the needle vibrates

i have discovered that the needle isn't supposed to vibrate

[smoky kestrel]

Your zoomies aren't supposed to shake your blood vessels.

[wispy citrus]

I really need to get to donating plasma

[frank siren]

MY VEIN GAVE UP O MG

i got deferred until fucking January

[smoky kestrel]

You're all juiced out.

Sucks though. There goes that income source.

[frank siren]

this was basically my job without a job im so fucked

im cooked

i was already depressed enough without a job this is actually

what the fuck man

[wispy onyx]

What happened???

[frank siren]

this

[wispy onyx]

What does that mean?

Like, are you ok?

[vital glacier]

tbf i think its bc theres not a lot of women in cotl period

[frank siren]

I'M FUCKING COOKED

I LOST MY ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS

IM UNEMPLOYED AND NOBODY'S ACTUALLY HIRING AROUND MY PLACE
THEY JUST SAY THEY'RE HIRING SO THEY CAN COLLECT GOVERNMENT MONEY

the only way i can actually do anything right now is to open music commissions but who the fuck wants music commissions in 2024

IM FUCKED

[vital glacier]

like canon wise and shown on screen we have heket, forneus, monch, chemach, rinor and jalala

we also techically have that former lighthouse keeper but shes probably dead and dont even know her name

im on the wiki rn and theres 23 entries for male characters and only 6 for female ones which is insane tbh /neg

granted lamb, goat and shamura could possibly be sapphic but most interps i see dont exactly go for that

[formal tree]

HI OLD BESTIEEEE !!

[wispy onyx]

Can you file unemployment?

[frank siren]

HA

HAHA

HAHAHAHAHGAHAHAA

i worked for 4 months and made just under $500

[wispy onyx]

ohhh dear

[wispy citrus]

I didn't know you had to apply for un employment

[smoky kestrel]

Doing that is already a bi- very bad mother over here in Germany. I don't even want to know what it's like in the US.

[frank siren]

i didnt even make enough at gamestop

to file for unemployment

[frank siren]

i applied at 5 places

hopefully i get something

[vital glacier]

i hope so too bc job hunting must be hard

i havent even gotten a proper job yet

[wispy onyx]

Job hunting is rough these days

I ended up having to settle for fast food

[frank siren]

extremely

i could never handle fast food

[wispy onyx]

It's all about the working environment ngl

I've worked 2 fast food places with polar opposite working conditions and I actually find myself kinda liking this job

[smoky kestrel]

Most important thing for enjoying work is colleagues that aren't jerkasses.

The rest becomes easier when everyone works together.

[full crown]

I love the way they sway

[full crown]

I’m so sorry Bryn 🫂🫂🫂

[full crown]

That last payment is sick

Like what the hell

[frank siren]

4 hours per week on $13/hr does that

also i only worked 3 that day

[full crown]

Oh I see

Again I’m so sorry. Work in this country is ASS

[frank siren]

actually 4 hours per 2 weeks

[wispy citrus]

damn

[frank siren]

and im considering WORKING THERE AGAIN

[wispy citrus]

thats way too little

cuz no where else is taking you in

[frank siren]

i applied to 5 places today and i gotta call back another place tomorrow

[wispy citrus]

im calling 3 places on monday

because there's no application website

[frank siren]

there's an application website for everywhere I did but there's no point in only trusting that

if u know anything about anything about working in america, calling back after an application every few days gets you the job cause you show initiative

[wispy citrus]

these places im calling are places that my mum suggested

theyre from facebook

[tough moss]

Yeah job hunting is a fucking pain 💔 Best of luck getting through this, friend

[wispy onyx]

We're all here for ya through thick and thin bud!

[latent stump]

Thatd be cute

I agree

[spiral tusk]

Also that looks great

[frank siren]

I'M NOT PLAYING MORE KNUCKLEBONES TONIGHT 💀

[formal tree]

MAX PFP

[frank siren]

it's a slight hyperfixation rn

[formal tree]

valid asfffff

fucking love that franchise

[frank siren]

it's like actually legitimately hilarious as well as the main ship being one i enjoy for once

mainly because the franchise is VERY aware of how gay these two are

but it never gets annoying in a way like narilamb is to me mainly because both of the characters are just very enjoyable

also surreal comedy my beloved

[frank siren]

and i have a really supportive friend to help celebrate the occasion 😊

[wispy citrus]

I would congratulate you in the most sincere way I could because I don't play nor never got deep into Geometry Dash

[frank siren]

gd is definitely a rabbit hole

you either love it or you hate it tbh

i find it really fun to play personally but it's definitely not everyone's game

[wispy citrus]

Im just starting with isaac and said game has given me mood swings

[frank siren]

isaac is fucking awesome but my main issue with the game is that

it requires an item guide

on a separate monitor

afaik there's literally no way to know what the items are gonna do if you just start out and you just kinda have to memorize them

[wispy citrus]

There's mods that can fix that but you need all DLCs :💀

[frank siren]

if there wasnt 9000000 items i would really care 😭

[frank siren]

issue is that i play on playstation 💀

[wispy citrus]

I know a great site that a buddy of mine handed me over

That goes over all items

[frank siren]

used to play on playstation morelike
i havent really gotten back into the game recently

i might tho

-# so i'd really appreciate the link to that site /lh /nf

[wispy citrus]

I'll send it over for one condition

[frank siren]

what is the condition

[wispy citrus]

Bother me

you have been bothered

I’d joke about putting them in my pocket but I have so many OCs I should be paying attention to fghjkl

[wispy onyx]

I've got like 4 adopts maybe I should give them a name

Or lore

Or like

A shirt

[tough moss]

There’s like 4 unnamed OCs in my OC gallery folder but…it calls to me (The pink Greavard adopt)

[frank siren]

this is so fucking real 😭

[frank siren]

@rocky mauve because you asked >:)

[pulsar spear]

Porple cat

[rocky mauve]

Yooooo, I love em!

[frank siren]

Covers of songs that I think are better than the originals:

Rain Paris - Unholy
Caravan Palace - Black Betty
2WEI & Edda Hayes - Warriors

and that's it

[vapid bobcat]

can i nominate the Elsinore cover of Free Radicals for this list
Fast As You Can also got an Elsinore cover but both it and Fiona Apple's version are very good, consider them equal

[dim nexus]

Okay but like
The Young Professionals covered "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey and like, their cover is a thousand times better than the original imo
https://youtu.be/sexPTYJ4fbo?si=vZ2K0TrPdAgFnKJIJDNCCB

[frank siren]

upon further deliberation i think that Warriors deserves to be taken off of this list because the Imagine Dragons version is way better on relisten

[split finch]

[frank siren]

IS GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK HERE MISTER CHEWER

[spiral tusk]

[split finch]

HEHE

[wispy citrus]

Hey Bryn remember when you needed a sona of mine when you comm melon?

[wispy citrus]

Oh yeah that

What if I comm them instead and you give melon the details for the art piece

Since you're such an expert on the comm talk

[frank siren]

[wispy citrus]

[vapid bobcat]

A worldwide garage sale?

[frank siren]

yes but i cant buy anything 😭

[full crown]

AYYY

[wispy citrus]

I already have what I want from devolver

[frank siren]

i have the lamb anatomy shirt

[wispy citrus]

I have the hot topic shirt , the classic lamb plush , red crown pin and the youtooz lamb.

I'm soon getting the oni press comics pledge and goat plush.

[frank siren]

dayum slayyy

[wispy citrus]

I'm open to sell the youtooz one

[frank siren]

it took me a little too long for my to build this first part because of playtesting but im kinda loving the first section of the level so far on this gd level

i wish i could show it off though >:V

[frank siren]

THIS SHIT SUCKED

i never thought i would beat this one this is kinda surreal

[pulsar spear]

I haven’t even beaten a demon level

[tough moss]

Let’s gooo

[frank siren]

this level is insane for an easy demon

lemme try and grab it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-3HHXwncvU

if youve played gd you know how bullshit this is

[tough moss]

Honestly I think I’ve played GD a single time several years ago, so most levels look awfully difficult to me dfghjkl <— He has terrible reaction time

[frank siren]

it's definitely a hard game

also a daily reminder that this is the best piece of official cotl media ever made

SHE LEFT A PAW PRINT ON THE JOURNAL I'M SOBBING /POS

this page also canonically revealed that Aym's eyes are canonically red

[vital glacier]

oh shit i didnt even notice the red tint

[frank siren]

fun fact i fought a dev on the fact that this picture had to be taken during the postgame

[tough moss]

Waah they’re adorable! I’ve been working on a Forneus fan dragon in Flight Rising and I think I eventually want to make Aym and Baal dragons, too

[frank siren]

and it's also based on something that apparently only i have noticed 😭

[frank siren]

pls show me when they're done

[frank siren]

also I've had a bit of a theory regarding which one has the heart of the wanderer and which one is the heart of a warrior

i think I've gotten it completely backwards

[tough moss]

I will! And oh? 👀

[frank siren]

i always assumed baal was the wanderer and aym was the warrior but what i think it's the opposite

honestly idfk why this took me so long to notice but

Aym wanders around the battlefield without ever directly attacking you
Baal directly faces you in combat and only has a few ranged attacks

[vital glacier]

omg same tbh

[frank siren]

Aym wandering around the field and firing off shit at random is also the exact same as Narinder's way of fighting which 😭

bro idolizes him so hard I'm assuming because of Stockholm

aym did it better

[vital glacier]

fr and i think Aym's actual passions don't exactly lie in combat

he just thinks it is bc thats how he was raised pretty much

[frank siren]

he could very easily clean the place but i think he has a bit of a

condition

every time he fires off his first attack and every few attacks afterwards he grabs his chest and gasps

[tough moss]

!! Ohhh

And ack yeah, I felt pretty bad attacking him while he was vulnerable

[smoky kestrel]

As are Baal's by the looks of it.

[tough moss]

i made the mistake of thinking that the red stuff at the bottom of Aym’s shirt was gore, but now I’m realizing that it’s just decorative

[frank siren]

i always found it decorative personally

there's one thing ive never been able to nail down about aym's design personally and it BOTHERS ME

[tough moss]

What’s that?

[frank siren]

WHAT'S THE RED SHIT

on his ARMS AND LEGS

(this applies to baal too btw for the record)

[smoky kestrel]

Blood.

[vital glacier]

hmm thats a good point

[frank siren]

never been stated

[vital glacier]

i just assumed gradation

[frank siren]

besides why would he have blood on his legs

[tough moss]

I always thought they were markings tbh, dried blood is also an option

[frank siren]

specifically on his feet

[tough moss]

I think they’re missing that detail in their follower forms now that I think about it, booo

[smoky kestrel]

In my eyes I chalk it up to him overdoing it and using more magic than his body can handle.

[frank siren]

that's boring
Give him a heart condition

[smoky kestrel]

Artery Blockage (Major)

[tough moss]

It’s sweet how Baal asks where his brother is when he’s brought back to life via the sacrifice of the flesh ritual

Then Aym threatens to gut someone similar to how he said he’d cut off the lamb’s head

[frank siren]

he's pretty violent yeah

but let's just think for a second

if he has stockholm syndrome and idolizes narinder like my headcanons and evidence suggest kinda

he had to learn and mimic that behavior from somewhere

and narinder breaks every single bone in lamb's body in the bad ending 💀

[vital glacier]

ye i think Aym has so many issues

[frank siren]

i could fix him

give him to me

[vital glacier]

Baal too but like Aym especially

my lamb could also fix him ( granted she has a fuckton of issues too )

[tough moss]

If the devs don’t care about the cat twins then please give them to my buddy

[tough moss]

:( Yeah…

[frank siren]

according to everything, aym:

has stockholm syndrome (idolizes narinder to a downright insane degree, mimicking his mannerisms, behavior, and even fighting style)
has a heart disease (possible because of his pitifully low hp pool and his post-attack animations)
doesnt even wanna fight cause he half-asses his own fight in comparison to baal (but then again this could just be narinder being shit at fighting and aym taking Ls as a result which i will not entirely rule out)
has a potential developmental issue because he has to mimic his idol in order to function pretty much
is half-blind

-# and after everything, forneus still GOT HIM TO SHOW OFF HIS TRUE EMOTIONS AAAAAAAAAAA

[smoky kestrel]

I want to say headcanon idea propped up but eh. Aym has the issue of always wanting to make a perceived father figure proud by going extreme lengths to make them-
Brynd said it.

[frank siren]

im very sane about aym !!!

do not post this dude's art in my art thread

[vital glacier]

augh yea esp bc we dont know who aym and baals actual father is

[vital glacier]

? can you elaborate /nm

[full crown]

Hey sillays

[frank siren]

hii doll

[full crown]

:3

[frank siren]

im collecting aym trauma evidence <33

[full crown]

Yay

[frank siren]

this is everything we'v efound so far

or observed i guess

[full crown]

I gotta work on my Aym and Baal

They sillay

[smoky kestrel]

Unless stuff changes, Baal and Aym will suffer the fate of most of their stuff being headcanons.

[tough moss]

Considering that Aym and Baal only had each other to spar with, i think they did pretty well during their fights all things considered

AU where everything’s the same but they had Kallamar as their mentor instead /silly

[frank siren]

AU where everything’s the same but they had Kallamar as their mentor instead

wait hold on i wANNA

VIVE WE'RE WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW

[vital glacier]

unironically kallamar would have been a better mentor than nari

[frank siren]

kallamar is the purged crown instead of narinder

fellas we have a new au idea

[smoky kestrel]

CotL but Baal and Aym are dressed like combat oriented plague doctors.

[frank siren]

plague doctors are kinda boring tho

kallamar's too self-centered to give those two sterile equipment anyways

[full crown]

Fart✨

[tough moss]

Oh, it just came to mind cause I thought “If Kallamar practiced with them and/or gave advice they’d probably be a lot harder” but! I’m cool with running with the idea!

[frank siren]

vive i take every opportunity to make a new au idea

[valid kestrel]

does he clean the weapon or something

[tough moss]

Hell yeah!

I’d like to do something with Evergreen…eventually

[frank siren]

evergreen is such a cutie

[tough moss]

He is! My Twitter icon is the drawing that Ram made of him!

[vital glacier]

I hc that out of the twins Aym was rlly the only one who saw Nari as a father figure despite everything

[wispy onyx]

I mean

Yeah he's got mad Stockholm syndrome

[frank siren]

just in case you guys are ever curious as to why i quit league of legends

basically this entire screenshot

i lose a lot of braincells

[wispy onyx]

What does this even mean

[frank siren]

i'll translate

jg diff = jungle difference, generally used when the jungler on your team is getting outperformed by the enemy's jungler (which is a role in the game like a support)
ur adc is 1/11 = your attack damage carry has 1 kill and 11 deaths, a very bad performance in the game
and youre hec... = and you're playing hecarim (which idfk what she was going on with that, she acts like hecarim is free wins)
and he's draven what's you're point = the dude was playing a character named draven which 1000% was free wins at the time i was playing the game yet he still went 1/11

and then insert extremely snarky remark by the support (renata glasc)

basically it's just overwatch speak but in a different format

[wispy onyx]

Yuck

[frank siren]

i quit playing this game a really long time ago because it costed me a lot of braincells and also i hated the game

[wispy onyx]

Arcane is the closest I've come to wanting to play lol

[spiral tusk]

DO NOT

I WENT BACK TO LEAGUE TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS

I CRIED SO HARD WHEN MY JUNGLE RANDOMLY ACCUSED ME 😭😭

[vapid bobcat]

league of legends has a frightening amount of parallels with abusive relationships

[tough moss]

Every time i hear about LoL it just sounds like pure misery

[spiral tusk]

me fighting with my brother on league: 😨
me and my brother after: 😊

just shows how bad league is

anyways i like valorant

[frank siren]

aym save me,,,
aym cult of the lamb,,,
save me aym cult of the lamb,,,

don't look at me like that

[latent stump]

🫵🏳️‍🌈

[tough moss]

Aym :)

[spiral tusk]

🫵

[frank siren]

i could fix him

[wispy citrus]

[latent stump]

I’d pay 5 cents to see you try

[frank siren]

I'd pay 10 cents to see you try to fix Elon from CaB

[latent stump]

Bet

[frank siren]

just gonna pop this here from a few nights ago but in a more readable format

[frank siren]

be warned that this contains massive final boss/postgame spoilers!!

according to everything, aym:

• suffers from stockholm syndrome
  -# idolizes narinder to a downright insane degree, mimicking his mannerisms, behavior, and even fighting style
• potentially has a heart disease
  -# possible because of his pitifully low hp pool and his post-attack animations
• doesnt even wanna fight cause he half-asses his own fight in comparison to baal
  -# but then again this could just be narinder being shit at fighting and aym taking Ls as a result which i will not entirely rule out
• is half-blind
  -# possible because of his white eye and eye scar

also
i always assumed Baal was the Wanderer and Aym was the Warrior but I think it may be the opposite and honestly idfk why this took me so long to notice this

Aym wanders around the battlefield without ever directly attacking you
Baal directly faces you in combat and only has a few ranged attacks

-# and after everything, forneus still GOT HIM TO SHOW OFF HIS TRUE EMOTIONS AAAAAAAAAAA

[frank siren]

im giving him a copy of Black Parade for his troubles </3

[vital glacier]

Good for him he deserves it

[formal tree]

YIPPEE

[vital glacier]

anyways oog the idea of Aym not being good at fighting or doesnt even want to fight but he does since its all he really knows is absolutely heartbreaking

[frank siren]

it could also be a "i wanna please my master" kinda thing since he idolizes Narinder af so he just zips his mouth and deals with doing something he hates doing

[pulsar spear]

What would be ayms favorite song from that album?

[vital glacier]

aughh :(((
i think Baal kinda speaks his mind more regarding doing something he dislikes ( not that he even dislikes fighting, he actually really really enjoys it ) since he doesnt idolize Nari to the degree Aym does

[frank siren]

not from that album but he'd perma stream I'm Not Okay

[pulsar spear]

I haven’t heard that one

[vital glacier]

ngl i feel kinda bad that aym in my canon is going to overhear nari saying he doesnt care about him or his brother

sorry buddy

[smoky kestrel]

We love our favourite characters suffering insane trauma that renders most people into mere husks.

[vital glacier]

real!! Aym is going through it!!

[smoky kestrel]

Aym just strolling through the lands of the old faith to find people to fight with so he has something to do that Narinder would approve of (he hopes in his mind because clearly that not caring talk was just a trick and challenge).

[vital glacier]

ooog yea
Aym in my canon does that alongside picking fights with my lambs followers and the lamb themself ( Solange ) both to try to get naris approval ( he doesnt notice or care bc Nari has his own subset of issues ) and to cope with his emotions

[frank siren]

oh my god where the fuck is my lobster

[wispy onyx]

"Master, did you see me back there?"
"Dude I do NOT care rn I'm busy"

[smoky kestrel]

Lober.

[frank siren]

i have

45 squid, 47 octopus, and 27 crabs

I JUST WANT MY EARLY GOLDEN FLEECE

[wispy onyx]

Lober...

[wispy onyx]

Dude the fisherman's Quests were SO annoying

[frank siren]

i'd just use a doctrine stone but i refuse

also i dont have another one yet

[smoky kestrel]

Meanwhile on my Unholy Alliance release playthrough I got 3 out of 4 rare fish on one day before I unlocked ocean's bounty. RNG is funny like that.

[wispy onyx]

I didn't even

Consider using oceans bounty

I am a fool

[smoky kestrel]

It increases the amount of fish and chances of rare fish.

You prefer hard mode. Switch to extra hard immediately.

[frank siren]

i just want a lobster for my golden fleece

[frank siren]

and in my headcanon, aym ends up looking like this

[valid kestrel]

[frank siren]

it's funny how aym, baal, goat (image not had yet), and lamb all end up wearing flowers in my au, crazy how that works out
-# arts by Tay https://discord.com/channels/353179320644141057/1213340001904103454 :3

[valid kestrel]

THE FLOWERS SLAY

I keep saying slay oh my godHSJDKZOX

[smoky kestrel]

Maybe I'll sponsor you the Goat one for Christmas. Depending on finances.

[frank siren]

my lingo. it spreads

[frank siren]

ur gonna have to uh

beat the physical description of the goat from out of my cold dead teeth

[smoky kestrel]

That can be arranged.

[wispy onyx]

Wuh oh

[frank siren]

FINALLY GOT MY DEMON TALISMAN

[wispy citrus]

#1237424229574508634 message

@wispy onyx

the link is the second part of the post that got kinda drowned and i dont want you to scroll

[wispy onyx]

"Why do you keep killing me?"
"Just don't die next time, nerd."

[frank siren]

this totally acts as a voice reveal yolo but uh

THIS GAME DOESN'T WANT ME TO BEAT THIS LEVEL THAT'S WEIRD AS HELL

[wispy citrus]

this is the 2nd voice reveal nerd

[frank siren]

is it

most people don't know about the first one so

[latent stump]

i remember the first one

[wispy citrus]

but i dew

[frank siren]

ok thanks for invalidating my statement right /lht

[latent stump]

:3

[wispy citrus]

when you asked the chat wether you should work with a fucked up voice

[latent stump]

mhm

[frank siren]

hmmm

[latent stump]

and then i made a joke bc of what jag said about it which made us technically get in trouble with jir

[valid kestrel]

was the first voice reveal a character voicing?

[frank siren]

this acts more like a better voice reveal since i don't sound like a bad teenager's attempt at voice acting Bane

[frank siren]

no it was ughh

[latent stump]

it was bryn complaining /lh

[frank siren]

asking the chat if i should go to work that day based on how gruff my voice sounded

[frank siren]

no that's true

[valid kestrel]

ohhh!

[spiral tusk]

wasn’t it u dying of a cold?

[frank siren]

SHUT UP >:(((

[valid kestrel]

simplified:

first voice reveal was brynd asking if they should go to work based on the bad voice

[frank siren]

that wasn't even a real voice reveal because

[valid kestrel]

dont make fun of them <3 /lh

[frank siren]

literally

not my voice

[latent stump]

i forgot how deep your voice was jesus /not neg
