We're talking 4,000 years of experience with probably hundreds of different mates. Combine that with 1,000 years of pent up frustration since he couldn't relieve himself, I doubt Lamb could stand much of a chance, but I'm sure it was satisfying. No stopping them from demanding a rematch
He did it.... he kept the crown
Lucifer and his daughter❤️🔥
This is a very cool interpretation of events
First meetings, or Shamura collects siblings like Pokémon Cards.
Also I headcannon that exposure to the crowns or sin through the crown, causes a physical corruption of sorts, like the bishops' height or black in place of white in their eyes.
Hell fucking yeah!
Now THIS is something I'm annoyed about when it comes to other members of the fandom when dealing with Narinder after the "Spare" option. Yes, Narinder would be very angry with Lamb and probably try to kill them at some point, but never does anyone show Narinder losing all sense of hope and drive for existing and choosing to just, end it all himself.
The guy was jealous of his siblings and later betrayed by them, bound and sealed in his own domain for 1,000 years after having his arms damaged in their battle. He's forced to wait alone with two kits and no one to really converse with on their own level for all that time, only to be given a new beacon of Hope for his dream in the form of the lamb.
Desperate, he offers his powers and strength to his chosen, open to be freed from his binds and once his dream is within his grasp once more, he's betrayed by the very person whom he gave his power too, having the rest of his power taken, his kids killed in front of him, and he's forced into a mortal form where he has to watch someone else who betrayed him, live out his dream, in front of him for all eternity.
This should fundamentally break him and since Death would be a release, if Narinder couldn't win his power back, get away from the Lamb, taking his own life would become his only option. A guy like him would rather not exist, than endure the hell of watching the person who stole his children, his powers and his dream, live the life he wanted to achieve. I Wish more Artists touched upon this more.
.... Well... Off to a fantastic start aren't we? prev / first / next
Alright.... I gotta get this off my chest here because I've been pondering this for a while. A small fraction of a MUCH greater rant but... fucking hell am I addicted to @aychama's art. Like on a oddly surreal level. I absolutely adore the portrayal of these two together and the tension and atmosphere always gets me more giddy than a japanese school girl!
However... this comes with one major issue I personally have and know its 100% opinionated and biased. Ain't trying to hurt anyone's feelings but if anyone wants to disagree with or block me if you follow this stupid, idiotic tirade of mine, feel free. I understand and take full responsibility for what I'm about to say...
Ok here goes; aychama has done such an amazing job selling me on the fact that these two are damaged souls, seeking love, understanding and connection, that I get the feeling once The Betrayal occurs, I won't be satisfied in the slightest. It goes back to how in all honesty, I am annoyed with how the majority of the fanbase collective agrees that Narinder is a liar and is morally, evil, despite every aspect of the game subtly going out of its way to prove the opposite and its in fact just the Bishops and later, the Lamb "Player" who are the ones who are evil, and Narinder is a victim of his own hubris. This is one of the reasons why I aggravated towards aychama's portrayal of Narinder so much because he's almost 1-to-1 lined with his representation in the game. He has his own goals and mostly keeps to himself. He's searching for a way to bypass Death to grant not just himself, but everyone he knows true immortality and he hasn't told a single lie to Lambert or anyone he's spoken to.
Aychama's Narinder has yet to preform any acts worthy of being called evil and beyond the spouted opinions of those who envy the Kings, Narinder hasn't done anything wrong. In fact, he seems to be extremely lonely and focused, knowing he's walking a path many will not accept, but is choosing to do so for a reason beyond just a desire to subjugate others for personal pleasure. This lines up perfectly with the game, and especially the DLC where Shamura admits he led the Bishops to attack and bind Narinder, because he was afraid if Narinder granted mortals immortality, mortals would feel no need to rely on their Gods and thus, they would lose power and control. They feared that Narinder was going to take those who prayed to him, and eliminate their greatest fears, thus setting them free from Cosmic Law.
That doesn't sound like Narinder was ever evil to begin with and again, its why if Lambert does betray Narinder, I don't think I'll be satisfied, given how their relationship is developing. I know both are currently wearing masks to hide their true goals, disguising their intentions yet are still desperately reaching out for the other and knowing Narinder isn't, or hasn't been shown to be evil, means that despite Lamb supposedly being the protagonist and "hero", would be committing an evil act be it of corruption of power, or for the sake of their own pride and therefore, makes it hard for me to even begin to root for their success. They would be actively killing or enslaving the only person who ever treated them like a person of equal merit, who took time to see them for who they are, and didn't use their vulnerability against them, for wholly selfish reasons that wouldn't gel well with my brain.
Long-Winded, I know but it basically comes down to the idea that, unless aychama goes out of their way to make Narinder comically evil, or have Lambert corrupted so thoroughly that they become everything they hated about the Ruling Class, I can't see the betrayal actually happening. And even then, if and when it does, I get the feeling it won't hit hard because one or both would have to drift so far beyond their current characterizations that they would feel unrecognizable. Of course I can admit that I might be 100% wrong here. For all I know, aychama might pull some awesome plot twist outta their ass and just get me right in the feels or pull a bait-and-switch and go full AU with their own desired outcome or ending that they're holding onto. Either way...... this is probably my second favorite version of the NariLamb pairing because I love how raw, sensual and passionate it feels. I'm a sucker for two broken people desperately relying on each other and giving up everything to maintain that love and connection. I just hope that whatever ending they have planned, won't leave an empty feeling on the series because I'm drooling over this couple like a fat kid at a candy store and it never fails to leave me thirsty for more god damnit! lol
You guys know how it’s said that cats purr heals? Yea…
This that GOOD shit!
I would kill for some of your Nari/Lamb lore. Adds I love the way you draw them both, it’s so unique and cool looking!
:O I haven't touched on anything lore wise in a hot sec - I could go on about my funny weirdos for a while I dunno where I'd start lol! And thank you!!!
Hurts so damn good! Haven't seen an ending for the Narilamb pairing that hit this hard since @circuscountdowns's 2-part image about it. It deserves a lot more views and attention. Such a solemn and strong way to end the story of two immortal beings who've spent eons together, watching the very changing rise and fall of countless eras.
For me, I just imagined them being alive so long and together for so long, they practically become forces of nature and existence itself, ascending to higher beings and even becoming outer entities that learn how to create, shape and balance aspects of existence itself. But this, i love this a lot. 10 Freaking Stars. Needs more love.
I made this comic as part of a class assignment, and I think it turned out really good! The original text came from a scrapped AU outline I wrote a while ago, but I loved this bit so much I decided to make a comic based on it. The basic background info for this story is fairly simple: the Lamb renounced the Red Crown. Them and Narinder are the last remaining immortals.
I might make a prequel comic to this, but I'm not sure. I think I'll call it After the End AU if that's the case.
(also just because I'm a bit paranoid about stuff like this: disclaimer that the hands on page 2 were traced, but with my own image)
Looking at YOU @neon-virus >:3
Everone always has the Red Crown dislike Narinder or hate Narilamb and yeah it's funny but personally I think it's more funny if the Red Crown actually DID like Narinder. Like yeah, The Lamb is it's favorite. But Narinder is and always was it's second favorite (first before the Lamb came along.)
The Red Crown is the child caught between the divorce. The #1 Narilamb shipper. It wants Narinder and The Lamb to make up so it can hang out with both it's besties again.
To me the Red Crown is out here like:
Ya know, my favorite thing about this comic is the moral ambiguity of Narinder's portrayal. Having played the game and seen how the Fandom interprets Narinder, I'm actually annoyed with the general consensus that in order to make fan's self-insert Lamb feel like this justified victim, Narinder is a vow-breaker who intentionally makes false-promises, lies and harms their Lamb for personal gain. 😤
Here, I can really see how Narinder could be seen as a being of worship once-upon-a-time, whether or not the story of his Sibling Conflict told here is truth, fabrication or somewhere in between. He's clearly someone who's felt hurt, longs to pursue his goals and is seeking some personal sense of purpose beyond what Fate has decided for him. Here, I can feel while his intentions aren't entirely pure, they're not this comical level of evil seen by the majority of the Fandom and its very much refreshing to say the least. 😌
This is one of the few cotl comic lores I'm very much invested in and would like to see more of. The fundamental originality of showing both sides aren't evil, but the signs of corruption are just buried below the surface is something I really enjoy. 🎉🎉🎉
REINCARNATION
I said I was going to compile it and I did <3
Thanks to everyone who followed along with me while I made this! I loved reading your comments :')
Bonus sketch
;)
Dig this emotionally and mentally healthy shit right here. Something so much of the fandom lacks. The ability to actually sit down and communicate. All their problems aren't fixed, but one step forward is so much better than watching artist have their two characters just spin their wheels like a god damn hamster.
Well freaking done.
I temporarily revived my dead blog just to post this so hi XD
I've seen SO MANY talented people making COLT art and I love admiring/reading them so I thought I should contribute too and not keep it to Twitter only
This all started with the idea of drawing Lamb in an extravagant white fleece, then I wanted to make it Narilamb, then this happened
Love this dynamic more than I can accurately describe without rambling ❤️🔥
First Dance
This wouldn't get out of my head, so I got it out of my head by drawing it
