The Watcher Of 89

Finally finished this yay

SWAP AU BABY! Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

I played with quick lil edits for my swap AU! It's very simple, I swap Narinder and the Lamb, and cats are now the extinct species so you get sheep followers instead. I didn't swap anything about the three eyes, no logic, just because I like it that way.

The swap list for cat to sheep has Aym, Baal and Forneus, but the yellow cat is the only one I did so far!

This is not swapped Morgan (I just used him as a ref cause I was stuck), but another character entirely that I got on my second game, named Meran. They have two traits: polyamorous and jailbreaker. So that's a chaotic little shit of a lamb. So another entire different dynamic with Leshy, I played with it a bit!

I'm hesitating between Maeve and Serene for the God Lamb's name.

They get Narinder's bell after they're freed, because he throws it in their face. The Lamb wanted to be out fast, at any cost. They expected Narinder to rebel, and they expected the chances he would kick their ass was pretty high, but asked for his sacrifice regardless. Narinder feels betrayed obviously, for being asked to be a sacrifice yet again. But despite being furious, he hesitates to finish off the Lamb. They're so happy to not be a chained god anymore, whether it means life or death, as long as they're out. It's too heartbreaking even for him, even completely enraged. He changes his mind once teleported back at the cult though, but Thoron and Valefar tackle him and convince him to not cut them in two, and to calm down before making any decisions.

He's resentful because he would have wanted a bit more time to figure something out, despite the prophecy, but didn't have the chance to do so. And he definitely didn't want to be a god. But he can't stay angry for long, seeing his Lamb overexcited and overjoyed at the smallest things they missed for centuries. He worked his ass off for this, and while the betrayal hurts, it's hard not to understand the despair that fueled their actions. And he's been in love with them for way too long anyway he's too far gone.

It's end of Juuuune time's up and I don't have the energy to draw more characters sowwy. It would be a bit forced anyway, because most of my cotl characters are in the void relative to their bodies, and not especially defined in terms of preferences or identities. I just take the dolls and make them kiss when I want to. It's a fantasy death cult with no big taboos or rules, so a character's preferences and genre isn't that impactful since everyone is free to do whatever. Doesn't that sounds nice? Except the part where you might be caught and sold or eaten by Helob. Or sacrficed forever to open a door. Or eaten by the other cult members. Or frozen to death. But no discrimination! Yay! I gave tied on pants to Leshy because I love slut pants and it's fun to imagine Morgan going "Ok I need to design something practical for his big ass that unties but doesn't rip when he doubles in size. That's gonna show some leaves but he's already an exhibitionist anyway." And then regretting it because he made him hotter.

Yes I did another yellow cat IN MY DEFENSE I started another cotl playthrough, playing as the goat, I skipped the beginning/tutorial and my first follower was a yellow cat! Usually I get cows, I wonder why this happened. Maybe because of the skip. AND SHE'S SCARED OF DEATH AND SACRIFICES too good not to draw fr fr

Mjorna likes to farm and refine materials. Maybe because she's the first one, and despite her being pathetic and annoying, Goat is attached to her. They try to do the murders out of her sight.

Next wip I'm throwing out unfinished to lower pressure! Narinder's arrival. He was wiped out by colors and sounds and smells and left with 0 will to fight for days. No talking, dazed and mellow. Hiding in the dark a lot, coming out at night to sit and watch the sunsets. He even let the Lamb care for him. Lambie didn't even get to be mad at him.

A WIP i'll never finish, i tried! I started this before march and will never finish it properly. I'm glad I had the energy to at least clean the last panels enough. I was trying a new style/process and it doesn't stick. Anyway, I'll just tell the rest of the story since I (probably) won't draw it, and maybe some of you like to read:
