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:
Oh I 100% prefer Narilamb. I was just making an observation based off recent fanart is all and the idea makes me laugh. Of course it's not to be taken as seriously as many of the other toxic people would do on here.
lol its funny how for everyone, Narinder is just simply being replaced and pushed to the side by the Goat. Probably all part of the developer's plan to keep the demand for Narilamb to become canon to a complete minimum. Introduce a similar designed character but of polar opposite presentation and everyone will ship the two What-If characters because they're of the same species over the Sheep and Cat.
Diabolical lol
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
This is what Narinder (and Lamb) needs. A galaxy load of being the butt of jokes but not enough emotional digging.
We’re having some big feelings rn 🥺

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.
"The guy i sent to gather beetroots is dead, we're out of silk, Vephar is infected with… something, I still haven't done my sermon, and as soon as I sit down to eat something, Narinder starts with his bullshit.
Is being a god supposed to be this stressful?"

TL:DR - Fox is right and Ewen/Narinder will have to make a tough decision very soon
Alright gonna drop this here but don't got too much to add because someone else beat me to it and was so on point, I'm annoyed my lack of sleep made me slow on the follow-up.
But the one thing I'll add, at least from my perspective is this; I think the Fox is correct and Lamb fears this fact of sentient nature. In truth, their relationship with Narinder is extremely one-sided, especially from their point of view. Its warranted of course, considering what Ewen was forced to become, all in order to survive. Their concept of romance and a relationship is so warped and skewed that its no wonder they believe Affection Control = Love and Devotion.
The same could be said for Narinder because, all things considered, the guy is a God. His relationship with mortals isn't the same as someone of his own kind, on his own level so his relationship with Lamb is nearly as flawed in its own right. Considering he has something of a personal connection with Forneus, Aym and Ba'al, its safe to assume to some degree, he aware of what it means and how it feels to develop an emotional attachment. It seems that maturity is coming through his relationship with Lamb who is helping him return back to that mentality he had probably before his 1,000 year-long isolation that probably drove him to a deeper level of insanity before his siblings bound him.
Now cutting all this rambling aside, I say the Fox is right in that Ewen's relationship is one-sided because they're only acting in self-interest and fulfilling their own desires at the moment. They keep Narinder under their thumb and refuse to give him the truest opportunity to leave or choose between Power or Connection. By keeping the crown, they know they're stronger than Narinder and can force him to their will, whenever they want. They have all the control in the relationship, but that of course is not a relationship of love or devotion, and the Fox points this out, much to Ewen's dismay and fear.
I think (my belief of course), if Ewen wants to truly know if they are loved, they're going to have to offer Narinder a truly honest decision and follow through with it 100% no matter the outcome, with absolutely no expectations or demands. They need to willing put themselves in a completely vulnerable state and offer Narinder the Red Crown to see if Narinder will choose Power or Love and no matter what he picks, they have to abide by that decision absolutely. In many ways, humility and faith would be the ultimate test of their growth and connection as an Ascended Mortal and a Fallen God
Eh but this is me just rambling and if you think this is bad, should have seen the 9 page essay I wrote and was trying to trim down. >_> I got issues.... lots and lots of issues... but this is damn good shit from @melled42 and I've been foaming at the mouth, waiting for updates like a kid watching Saturday Morning Cartoons!
COTL narilamb comic
Changes part 1, part 2 tomorrow
(all along with wips and stuff a week early on patreon)
Looks like the lamb has a fox friend. we're reaching the last 3rd of these comics, lets gooooo
I wonder who that random bystander might be? ;) Btw, I'll sadly have to make the pages a bit shorter from now on, so I could focus on them without stressing over finding the time to draw between work and other stuff. I believe you guys can understand.
prev / first / next
For now, gonna say Narinder shoulda saw the writing on the wall for sure. But I'll chock it up to to sheer desperation and social isolation. Ewen was their only ticket out at the time and despite all his power, he's shown he can't see the future consequences of his decisions
Big Narilamb comic "Distant " p 1/3

Love this dynamic more than I can accurately describe without rambling ❤️🔥
