So now that the goat project is coming to an end, I can either get started on the lamb or narinder since they're about even in terms of current development....
Aaand, since it totally didn't work like at all last time, why not have another poll.
Istg if it turns out a draw AGAIN, I'll make another book-themed knucklebones board just to roll the dice with (pls don't, I can't keep doing this to myself)

How it started vs how it's going
Had some minor complications sewing the bottom, but all together, he's come out perfectly!
The little crown is just so cute <3
All that's left is to embroider the mouth & eyebrows, then I'll get started on the cape

Whelp looks like our three-eyed husband won the poll!

(characters: Lamb, Narinder, Goat, Shamura, Leshy, and Marko (my Yellow Cat))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Narinder: Oh, to be a bored heir to the throne who keeps rejecting marriage proposals due to being secretly in love with the cute gardener. Lamb: Oh, to be a cute gardener who secretly places roses in the heir’s room because they are in love with them. Shamura: Oh, to be the palace guard who discreetly helps to boost the cute gardener up the wall for their secret deliveries in the middle of the night. Marko: Oh, to be the heir’s best friend witnessing the two fools dance around each other while knowing damn well that the two like each other. Goat: Oh, to be the noble suitor from another royal family who comes to know of their love instantly and plans an entire plan to get them their happy ending. Leshy: Oh, to be a medieval peasant who knows nothing about the heir’s personal life and who dies of dysentery at age 23.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goat: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was changing their name to Narinder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamb: Nothing in life is free.
Narinder: Love is free.
Shamura: Knowledge is free.
Leshy: Friendship is free.
Marko: Self-respect is free.
Goat: Everything's free if you don't pay for it.
The Squad: ...
Shamura: Goat, that's illegal-
Lamb: No, let them finish!
(It wouldn't let me copy paste it like the first one for some reason)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shamura: Hold on! I’m having one of those things... a headache with pictures.
Marko: What the f-
Lamb: They’re having an idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shamura: When Narinder was born, the gods said, "They're too perfect for this world."
Lamb: Please. When they were born, the devil said, "Oh, competition."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamb: You know, sometimes dandelions remind me of Goat.
Marko: Aww, is it because they’re like a little sunshine, spreading light and hope everywhere?
Lamb: What? Gross, no, it’s because they’re like a weed that you can’t get rid of!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leshy, at Narinder's funeral: I need a moment with them.
Everyone: Of course. *They leave*
Leshy, leaning over Narinder′s coffin: Okay, listen here you little shit. I know you’re not dead.
Narinder: Yeah, no shit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamb: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.
Narinder: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goat: You need a hobby.
Lamb: I have a hobby!
Goat: Fawning over Narinder isn’t a hobby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamb: So… I’ve seen you’ve been spending a lot of time with Marko recently.
Leshy: No, Lamb, it's not what it looks like, I swear.
Lamb: Oh really? So no reason for me to be jealous?
Leshy: No! You’re the only one for me.
Lamb: Is that so?
Leshy: I promise! Marko and I are just dating, okay? They’re my partner.
Lamb: So there are no best-friends-feelings involved?
Leshy: You are still my one and only best friend! They’re just the love of my life, nothing more!
Lamb: But I’m still the platonic love of your life, right?
Leshy: Of course bro!
Lamb: Bro...
Marko: What the-
I haven't seen any other fan theories like this, but if anyone else thought of this first, please let me know.
Anyways, alchemy obviously plays a big part in the magic system of the protocol universe. And I've seen several people bring up that Celia mentioned the three primes of alchemy. Based on my very non-expert google knowledge, the three primes are salt, mercury, and sulfur. Salt represents the body, mercury represents the mind, and sulfur represents the soul.
In other words, physical horror, psychological horror, and existential horror. There are three fear entities in this universe; Salt, which is fear relating to the body/physical harm, Mercury, which is mental/emotional fears, & Sulfur, which is existential fears. This lines up pretty well with what Colin said:
This time, the way to keep the entities from entering our world is to keep them balanced. And based on what we've seen, the way to keep the balance is probably by sacrificing people to them.
This next part is a bit of a stretch & I don't expect it to be right. Something interesting I noticed, all the Externals we've met so far seem to be Salt-coded. Maybe the OIAR is only in charge of the salt part of the balance? What if the Hilltop Center and the Magnus Institute were in charge of the other two elements? Colin didn't mention what happens when there's too much salt, but we might see that for ourselves soon.
