The Rehabilitation Of Death, By @bamsara

Hey remember the comic that I teased like... an embarrassingly long time ago (the start of the month)?? I finally finished it. It's. It's done. Enjoy

I'm not gonna lie this one was kind of difficult to make?? Partly because the start of this year has just been really difficult in a lot of respects that I don't intend to discuss, but also because given the state of my sanity lately, actually finishing this was a fistfight at every turn. Mostly I think I've just been looking at it for too long, but there's a lot of like... big feelings going on in this one and I wanted it to read the way I intended. But, my own difficulties with this aside, I do have some actually comic- relevant stuff to say about it:

This is kind of supposed to be a sad follow up to the wedding comic, as Julon, the Disciple being taken to paradise is, in fact, one of the characters whose wedding was depicted. They lived a good life, and were probably around for a couple hundred years, and their two children are adults by the time they die. Julon also wanted to be left in the afterlife in the event of their death- I imagine the Disciples get to choose whether they come back or not- and they do have a sister waiting for them in the great beyond. I considered making a comic prior to this about how they actually die, but I couldn't figure out how I wanted it to go (in my save that they're based on, they died on missionary, but in the AU, they are murdered, either by a dissenter or a spy) I never quite figured that out, hence why I didn't make that.

Also, in my AU, Narinder is Lambert's... tether to the living world, if that makes sense. My Lambert tends to get a little disconnected from reality at times, and for a while would spend longer and longer chunks of time in Purgatory, partly because they found it more and more difficult to come back. That said, Narinder for a long time would have dreams of Purgatory, and sometimes, should Lambert be there during the day, would zone out for what felt like a long period of time only to snap back to reality and realize it's only been a couple of seconds, because a shred of his soul (particularly, the part of his soul that connected him to his crown) still resides in Purgatory after being there for so long. So when Lambert comes to him and expresses difficulty staying grounded in the living world after being in Purgatory, Narinder offers to be their tether, and keep them from being swept away in the currents of the afterlife. Hence why he is the one who pulls them back to the real world. I think I could've shown this better visually in this comic?? And it's worth noting that this is a kind of silly concept that I don't know I want to stick with long term, but... oh well. It's a thought I had that's now... I guess officially in the AU lol.

Anyways. Enjoy this little comic I made, it's certainly not perfect but I hope y'all like it. Have a good one lovelies :D

First Text Post!

Unnecessary Capitalization is one of my favorite things- Anyways, hello! Welcome to my blog! I started it literally to follow a few people on here thanks to a hyper-fixation I'm having with Cult of the Lamb content. Anyways (x2), I'm actually going to TRY and use this blog to further my hobbies of writing and creating. That also means...attempting art and tossing my stuff out into the void that is Tumblr.com. I'm going to be as open as I can, and start off with this: I really, REALLY want to learn how to draw. I want to put my thoughts and words to shape and color. But it's...hard. To be consistent, to not be a perfectionist over my work. And I'm not even that organized, so my blog will mostly be a mess of reblogs, unorganized tags, and I might even disappear regularly thanks to the aforementioned disorganization. So uh...to my future followers, mutuals, and more...thank you for your companionship, words of encouragement, and time.

I'm not usually one to do these, since I feel like Luck itself would just ignore me for a week to spite me- But let's give it a try!

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

An Old Face

Sorry for the long ass comic, it wasn't intentional I swear-

This scene takes place after the lamb kills the third bishop and unlocks Sin of the Flesh, curiosity gets the better of the Lamb and sure enough, the results are overwhelming. Since then, Crowne just kinda decided to stay in this form whenever he is wandering about as it brings the lamb a bit of comfort.

They know their brother is gone, but they can't help but cling to a false version of him.

Come and let us be merry

Ooooh! More writing stuff to keep in mind, thank you! Perfect for outside or explorative scenes.

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

This is AMAZING! I love the timing and expressions~<3

OKAY SO Idk when I'll finish this but l've had this idea for awhile so like- take what l have so far

I'm hesitant to get too much farther into it cause the ending has to do with the Kallamar fight and Im TERRIFIED what I have mapped out in my head for it will be made irrelevant when that chapter comes out, I just took whatever scraps of comics/art made of that scene and did my best LMAO

But I def would like to finish it cause hoo boy when I'm pacing around my house listening to the song and watching the mind movie of it in my brain it’s pretty epic ngl

Until then you may have this suuuuper rough animatic. I hope it will suffice for now
