Anyone else remember this post? >:3
Well I put this up just before the holidays and well, @countjulius did contact me a few weeks ago about setting something up. However due to some... family emergencies, I wasn't able to get around to having the time til now. π However if he does want to set something up, understand I'm going to spam every single last Narilamb artist I can think of, to get all their designs into this one little bit! ππOf course whoever wishes to join, more than welcome if you're interested and read this far.
Also, sending out an special shout-out to @melled42 for even liking the post and recommending it to Sir Julius in the first place. As a thanks I was gonna go full on commission but, knowing how her canon lore is set and me needing to keep my ass in check and not wanting to creep her out with my weird ass request, I think I'll offer either a solid donation (Within reason Goddamnit! π) or something like that. Dealer's choice π
Hope this pans out well. I think it would be a fun way to involve as much as the fandom as possible as so many people have very unique, fantastic and interesting designs for their interpretations for their self-inserts and I can't think of a better way of appreciating them. π€©
This is what Narinder (and Lamb) needs. A galaxy load of being the butt of jokes but not enough emotional digging.
Weβre having some big feelings rn π₯Ί

TL;DR - Because a relationship between two or more people, defined by falsities, isn't what the average person wants.
-Because for most people, the mask they wear, isn't their true self. Its the face they wear, the expressions they show, the impression they put on to hide who they really are underneath and how they really feel. The desire to peel back this layer to reveal what's underneath typically, at least from my experience and from what others have said and said themselves or told me, it comes down to two major reasons.
-1: People who are used to putting up a front because those around them, cannot or choose not to understand them. This situation can make a person feel so utterly and profoundly lonely that it often times draws them into dark or unsettling places within their own minds. Just to be noticed or accepted or to avoid shame or being rejected, the mask remains, but it means that person rarely, if ever, gets to express who they truly are, unabashedly. Sure, anyone with a high sense of self worth or a massive ego would respond to such a notion with something along the lines of "Just be yourself, no matter what happens." But our lives are filled with so many different various different connections, relationships and circumstances that many times, the average person can't afford to be themselves 100% without consequence. The desire to see characters have their masks peeled back to expose who they truly are underneath and be accepted for it, is a primal urge we all seek in one form or another. We want to be loved, seen, valued for both our benefits and our faults. But many times, many people cannot truly express their true selves to even begin to make that connection with someone else and thus, the deep desire to live vicariously through other characters experiencing such a thing is born within those types of people. The desire to tear off their own masks, completely without fear and to be accepted for it, is also what they want from characters they like and can relate to, who are also doing the same thing as them
-2: This is more outwardly in a way and a bit more complicated but ultimately just an inverse of 1. When a person is trying to form a connection with someone they're being open and honest with, be it friendship, partnership, romantic, etc, that person instinctively wants the other to also be willing to share nearly the same level of forwardness, honesty and transparency. Its innate.
-Now of course I need to preface this by saying everyone has a right to withhold aspects of themselves they don't wish to share. If they so choose, maintain as much privacy about yourself as they want. And furthermore, no one is entitled to the same level of trust and affection offered by someone else.
-In spite of that however, attempting to form a bond with someone, one that is genuine and respectful and direct, only to receive lies, falsities and deceit from that other person, isn't exactly a good feeling. People who are trying to connect with others don't enjoy being lied to, pushed away or led down fake paths because they want a real connection, and this also bleeds into what they're reading/watching. When they see a character trying to form a connection with others, create barriers and hide who they really are and their real intentions, all the viewer can see is someone who is a self-prophesied failure in their own desires. A character that truly manifests the concept of genuine victimhood where they desire one thing but actively create the very same problems that causes their own suffering and misfortune, but still crave empathy and sympathy. That level of self-destruction can be very annoying to watch for people who've reached a certain state of self-awareness and maturity for a wide variety of reasons.
-There is a number 3 as well but I think this is too long and too deep as well for a post like this. If could be one for venting, or one seeking a genuine curiosity, don't know. However since the thought was put out into the ether, I responded to it in kind. But anyways, that's at least 2 out of the 3 major reasons I've personally seen as to why people prefer relationships between characters who remove their masks and show who they really are, than characters who base a connection off of falsehoods to hide aspects of themselves from the world and people around them.
personally I do not understand the obsession with revealing whats underneath the mask a character wears all the time. as far as Iβm concerned that mask IS their face. do NOT peel them. thatβs the same as the beast from beauty and the beast turning into just some guy at the end
The Fabulous Fumbled Fingers Feline has been dubbed. Cute atmosphere I gotta admit but the sax made me laugh my ass off lol
Hello everyoneeee!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited to finally share this comic dub done by the talented @alyexvaexva !!!!! He put so much -and I mean so much- effort into this video!!! Please go and check it out ! <3 Hope you guys enjoy it as much as me!
The voice actors are Lore_weaver (For Narinder) and AylexVa (For Lambert)
Ramblings under the cut!
Working with him was such a delight honestly, I used to watch comic dubs waay back so I knew about them but I had never seen how they were made. So watching Alex voicing and editing this video has made me appreciate the amount of work, dedication and love people put into them!
We had some hiccups here and there because I wasn't thinking about my comic becoming a comicdub and didn't know about the process so there were stuff that needed to be fixed here and there but it was totally worth it!
I'm so happy with how it came out! Anyway- that's all! Thank you <3
Is lamb a boy or a girl? Just wanna know
they are a god
βDonβt you want to touch me?β
Uncensored version will be posted on my Patreon tomorrow!
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
I might love this character a bit too much π
Damnit Mel! What have you done to me!? π€
im planning a small piece for the bunny suit thing going around the cotl fandom but have a Bell, my narilamb shitten, doodle with it in the mean time. she's more embarrassed that its a submissive outfit and she goes for more of a dom(minatrix?) vibe to keep the cult and enemies in line
Now a brother can't help but be curious to what draws you into such dynamics of hatred, chaos and self-destruction. π€
Definitely wanna hear about that from someone who loves it.
Sorry to hear about the troubles with your move. Hopefully it will only pick up in a positive light from here.
But I am curious, which couple in fiction inspire you the most?
You know I thought about this an I asked my hubby while we're waiting for the movers and we both have no freaking idea lol.
I've had previous ships but it's mostly what elements attracted me to that ship and then half the time I just make it my own thing. I have elements I like.
hatemance
immortals/time loop with two people stuck together/only one to understand each other
destruction/harm/cannibalism as a form of love
Unhealthy attachment/fear of loss
Sex being less intimate than chaste forms of affection
Usually they want to kill each other/want the other to kill them
But I can't really think of the sources of that specifically besides my own issues and a love of horror/monsters in general
All The Yes!
Angel Dust being violently protective of Husk, and will NOT hesitate!
Started out as a warm up, turned into the project as usualπβ¨
This right here is freaking genius! I love it!
*Mashes two cool things together* cosplay time!!
Bonus: Narinder chikito
