#cotl headcanons

ENG: Once we finish Demon Quest, we’re met with a this screen. Many people find it strange that Kallamar is grinning so brightly, like a child. I used to think the same. So this time, I’d like to share a headcanon analyzing Kallamar’s psychological state. Honestly, I don’t think Kallamar was ever truly happy—even back when he was a Bishop. Compared to his siblings, he was the most anxious and timid. That’s why he relied on Shamura, the eldest, and feared Narinder, the third-born and the overseer of death. And I believe this fear existed even before Narinder ever plotted his betrayal. The Kallamar that Narinder remembers was always the brother who looked at him with fear. Because of this, I believe Kallamar was the one least suited to wear the crown. Yet unlike Haro, he couldn’t let go of his divinity. Whether it was out of a desire to survive or a need for power… either way, these elements clashed with his true nature, leaving him to live a life gripped by fear, crushed under the weight of the crown.

But now? The Bishops and Narinder alike have been dethroned by the Lamb. They’ve lost their divinity and become followers. Ironically, it’s because Kallamar became a follower that he’s finally able to be his true self. He no longer needs to hold onto power, nor hide in Shamura’s shadow. For the first time, he’s free to live life on his own terms. And I don’t think Kallamar fears Narinder anymore. What he feared was the Red Crown(death)—not Narinder himself. It was only after becoming a follower that he was finally able to see Narinder not as the embodiment of the Red Crown, but simply as a cat.🐱 Now that he has nothing left to fear, maybe that’s why he can smile so brightly after the Demon Quest?😆

I like to think Leshy would have seasonal changes

Leshy feels his brothers face.

I always imagined that without Leshys crown he is fully blind but he has a good sense of smell based on what we learn from when he’s turned into a follower. I imagine at some point the bishops will learn to be a family again (not the best but they are working on it) and Leshy wants to feel Narinders face to get an idea because it’s been a while. This is my gf @7moonbird idea
