CotL Questions

Buncha random ones I haven't seen and I think would be fun to ponder

What is your Lamb's relationship with Ratau?

Did your Lamb experience any immeadiate changes when first recieving the crown? If so, what changed?

Does your Lamb enjoy crusades?

Do npcs who become followers only techinically followers get special treatment? (To be clear I mean the lighthouse dudes, Plimbo, Sozo before he ODs. The areas in game that give bonus faith once youve met a criteria)

How do the Bishops encourage/find(?) Sin among followers?

If Narinder is alive and was spared, does he regret what he's done to the other Bishops?

How does the Mystic Seller view the Lamb?

Do disciples work harder than regular followers? (Could apply to either Lamb's disciples or disciples of the Bishops)

Does your Lamb trust the Fox?

Is revival painful for the Lamb or are they numb to coming back after dying?

Initial Plot

[bleating-bishop-au]

I wonder how you think your lamb has changed physically from God hood

I haven't made art of post-canon* Pyrite but the main changes I do know would occur are her horns would be larger and curl around her ears, with stray branching curls that often get trimmed down. Her horns and hooves would also take on more of a red tint and/or fade into straight up red. Pyrite would mostly definitely be generally larger. Thats all I've considered but I also figure that the bishops dont change too drastically over their time as gods. Obviously some things develop over time rather than upon recieving the crown

*I say post-canon because Bleating Bishop takes place at roughly the same time as actual canon which is soon after the lamb's sarcifice

Thank you for asking, Hope this made some sense, I am not always the best at articulating my thoughts coherently

Wip

Just Chibis of my Bishop designs. Im going to over it in ibis and fiddle with palettes

Also Im probably going to completely restart the comic, I feel comfortable doing so since I really only got through on page. I also plan to edit the plot so I might show screenshots of the intial plot

alr im curious about this one 🐈‍⬛️ (especially shamura)

Black Cat - Bishops' relationship with Narinder pre-prophecy

I'll start with Shamure since you're especially curious about them. Thank you for asking by the way! Also this will be a little long winded, I like yapping but don't often let myself

So Bleating! Shamura isn't actually a very good person, they are a manipulative control freak prone to violence. They forced a semi-dependency from Narinder. Think Scarlet and Peril if you've read WoF (Wings of Fire). Very much a "make you think you need me so you do what I say" sort of relationship. Narinder actually hesitated when it came to injuring Shamura because of how much in his eyes he owed to them. Most of Bleating! Narinder's scars came from Shamura. Much like with their disciples, Shamura's punshiments for disappointment or otherwise failing them was violent. Bloodletting, let's just say. Shamura saw him as a tool to use and Narinder saw them as a mentor.

With Bleating! Kallamar the relationship actually started pretty good. Narinder was often envious of Kallamar but often went to him for advice and company. This changed when Narinder died of a sickness. He blamed Kallamar with no reason to actually blame him expect for Kallamar being the Bishop of Pestilence. After that Narinder would seek to antagonize and sabatoge Kallamar where and when he could.

Bleating! Heket never believed Narinder had what it takes to be a god. She would often belittle and dismiss him. Heket also picked on him for being Shamura's favorite little toy. In fact she'd often mess up his studies just to see Shamura punish him. Heket also hid the food Shamura would give him, trying to convince Shamura to make him fast to "better his training".

Bleating! Leshy avoided Narinder but when they did interact, the brothers stir something fierce. Leshy would only avoid Narinder so he keeps in Shamura's good graces. Outside of Shamura's watch, the pair get along quite well. Leshy would be Narinder's favorite sibling if he didn't hold Shamura so high on a pedistal.

Yes, yes I gave him a prostetic, fight me

I feel like this would be more of a pre-prophecy narinder. He would very likely for like of better terms start balding during banishment. His fur would start to fall out and grow sparce.

His third eye is primarily closed because I dont wanna draw it but I do imagine him being ashamed of it. After all a kitten with three eyes is a freak

[bleating-bishop-au]

Oh yeah I hope nobody is hoping for a happy ending for Ratau in this au. He is going to die. And its going to hurt for him. The fox has nothing to do with it but Ratau is going to die

Bishop interactions

Leshy hurt himself being chaotic so Pyrite is bandaging him

Heket & Pyrite canonically hate each other. They're "Bonding"

Kallamar helping ease the pain of an old wound

I couldnt come up with anything for Shamura but they'd probably be retelling legends or sparring with Pyrite

KallaLamb is canon in this au but I can pander to NariLamb fans and shippers.
