Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay with the next Chapter. It’s like 80% done but I just got hit by a severe case of Writer’s Block. So it may be delayed a bit further. To tide it over until then, here’s a little sneak peak of some art I commissioned for this chapter from @midnight-malls .

The fortune duck!

Hello! Huge fan of your art. I saw your recent answer to an ask and I have a request. I was wondering if you’d be up for drawing Clauneck?

Tada, the tarot reading duck (the wiki calls him a duck) honestly I don’t think I have drawn him before but here he is!

YOUR DRAGON NAME

last two letters of your first name

middle two letters of your last name

first two letters of your mother’s name

last letter of your father’s name

mine would be Urlelan. Reblog and tag this with yours!

Dang. I gotta apply this to my own writing.

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

Hi Bamsara! I wanted to say I’m a huge fan of TROD and it has inspired me to work on my own COTL fan fiction.

When it comes to your own writing, has there ever been moments where you felt like you were treating the characters harshly or unfairly?

I know that seems silly because they’re characters so they can’t actually be harmed by your writing and adversity is needed to help make a story interesting, but I know it can be easy to get attached, especially to characters like Narinder and Lambert.

Right off the top of my head, even though it hasn't been polished or posted yet, I def feel like future chapters are going to treat Kallamar pretty badly because of the Lamb's anger, and I hope no one thinks I hate that squid cause he's just a lil fishy. But he's def gonna be on the recieving end of sheep anger

Generally? Maybe not unfairly more so as harshly. Some of these characters have done things that would deserve due karma, but the delivery is rough

Also, I need to write them as such, but Lambert handles wayyy more stress wise than what is healthy and are hardly given the reprieve from the current stressors (taking care of the flock, reviving the bishops, Narinder's antics, ect) but with the communication and development coming along there's going to be a future where burden is lifted from their shoulders and they'll be the ones getting taken care of more equally

YESSSSSSSS BUFF NARINDER ALL THE WAY!!! I love these designs!

Post Game Narilamb based around my partner's and my playthrough!

Updated this a bit!

Our NariLamb has a slow burn with plenty of tension and attitude at first, but it does end up bringing them closer.

since there was a 'fuck-marry-kill' poll made of me on this site that I was tagged in this morning, I need to reiterate that I am NOT a fictional character, this is not a gimmick blog, I am just a creator who enjoys posting a lot about one video game. Please don't treat me like a fictional character.

Life, Death, and Repentance - Chapter 7 - DOGMAt87 - Cult of the Lamb (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

Next chapter is up. Time for some fishing. CW for Medical Procedures and Nasty Wounds.

Super big on the Happy Endings point too. I can understand putting your favorites through absolute hell and back to develop them, but the whole point of hell and back is that they come back. I have no qualms with unhappy endings, but it feels super unsatisfying to have a character go through so much and fail in the end.

I'll ask, if it hasn't been already - regarding the tags on the fanfic poll:

What kinda things make you click out/give you the squick? I'm so curious 👀

rubs my hands together: could be a mix of things anywhere between character dynamics, personalities or even how the fic is formated

Btw for people who don't know what squicks are: 'Squicks' are just personal preferences that someone doesn't like. Nothing wrong with em it's just not your vibe. (Exp: Like how all my friends HATE tomatoes but I am tomato eater forever)

anyway long ramble list:

Can't read big blocks of text without breaks very well, and I dislike when characters (esp main characters that are talking in every chapter/scene) have bolded or italicized dialogue. I think it's fine for special reoccurring characters but it genuinely messes up with reading flow for me when it comes to taking in information if used too much

If I'm reading a fic specifically for a monogamous romantic paring, I don't care for the 'past lover interest reappears' trope or one of them currently has one, or the love triangle that results in one of them being like 'oh but i love them both i can't possibly choose!' *cough twilight cough* it just makes the relationship feel disgenuine and icky. zero stars. Any mention of a character's past relationship usually makes me just click out, just personally not here for that

-^^^ to go with this, big fan of the 'misunderstanding where someone thinks there's a love rivelry but the third person never had a chance.' Like to the main pairing there's only eyes for each other and that's all they care about, there's just some third person who's there and causing problems (either because someone in the pairing is jealous of the third person thinking they're gonna steal the other when it's not, or the third person thinks they're a love rival when in reality they're not even thought about) *cough Tyren cough*. I think there's a lotta comedy to have with this. Bonus points if it brings main pairing closer together

When characters have linear character development and recovery. I prefer my characters to realistically relapse and bit a little bit of a hypocrite as they develop from start of story to end. Failing and falling short and again makes the final result much more satisfying when they're healing

When characters use 'therapy speak' or otherwise react perfectly 'acceptable' to stressful situations. Again, I prefer realistic depictions of characters under stress, and work out becoming better under that stress rather than just One Big Thing Happen and suddenly they're never going to react negatively or lash out again because another character told them It Was Bad and To find Better Coping Mechanisms.

Unhappy endings. (Or open ended ones) Sorry for hurt/no comfort lovers but none of my fics will have unhappy endings. I like my stories to have people that go through absolute hell and still come out on the otherside

The ace in me doesn't care for fics where physical attraction is a large part of the ingredients that gets the pairing together. Not saying they can't admire each other when the sunlight hits them or wearing a nice outfit but just not a fan of reading about how 'sexy' a character is to another. Probably why I usually blast all my characters with the aspec beam

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but if someone had a more specific question I might be able to answer

Little teaser for the next chapter. Coffee anyone?

Hey everyone. I’d really like to apologize for the delay on Chapter 7 for LDAR, but truth be told, I am kind of burnt out with the COTL Fandom on Tumblr. Long rant below.

The endless wave of drama and resentment I see going around has done a number on my mental health. It’s reached the point where I feel anxious just viewing the tag, because I feel like everyone I see is connected to some drama in a big or small way, and it does nothing but stress me out.

There’s obviously what happened with Fang, but I just feel like in general, I’ve soured to this branch of Tumblr as a whole. Shipping wars. Accusations and mudslinging. People going behind other’s backs. This negativity isn’t good for my mental health, and honestly I may be leaving the fandom entirely once I finish my Fic.

But, don’t fear that I’ll ever drop the Fic. COTL is super precious to me, and I love all of its adorable and powerful little characters. So I swear that I will finish it someday, but don’t expect much COTL art from my end for these next few months. I’ve got college and the fox to work on, and I would prefer not roaming Tumblr during my free time.

It’s late where I am rn, so this could all just be an 11 PM crisis, but I just feel like I needed to put this all into words.

Leshycat I did while on vc :3

Me writing LDAR.

I’m down for that!

Happy Halloween!!

Hiii can we do a thing where we draw our characters (OC, lambsonas, online sonas, literally any character of your choice) in a Halloween costume?

I think that would be so rad.

On Halloween 10.31

Yah?
