i hope i never ever ever see this image while im high or it will also straight up kill me. it would make me so scared my skeleton would run away And id be a boneless scared heap on the ground
I love destroying squid's mental health it is my favorite thing <- literally bullied Kallamar into getting the coward trait just cause I thought it'd be fitting
NO IT REALLY IS FITTING THOUGH I actually didn't know the bishop followers' traits were randomized at first because mine made so much sense. Kallamar was a lustful coward, leshy was celibate and a sloth, and nari was lustful too but was a jerk who would start a fight with leshy and/or webber literally every single day. Idr what heket was, I think she just worked and prayed more efficiently than everyone else, just butch girl shit <3 I DISTINCTLY remember my shamura glitching and offering me stuff at the altar 24/7 which is not a trait but I thought it was funny
Bullying a follower into becoming a coward takes actual effort, so here is your reward for being so committed to making this fictional traumatized squid's life miserable:
Realizing I have never shared any pictures of my S H R I M P I love my SMIM-P-
Okay context; Me and some of the fellas from HallowHome were talking about the possibility of aquatic vessels that live in the void sea and what adaptations they might have. This is Artem! They're part of a trio with @phantomgrape and @frolicinq as triplets that hatched from the same egg!
I have fallen madly in love with them I just love lil SWIMP Auughds oooug
I call this one "found family but it goes horribly wrong in an irreparable way" :)
I've been doing a lot of cotl comics but I kinda lost my comic making endurance after not working on art since last september, so I made this to help me flex my art muscles. Apologies for the watermarks lmao they kinda kill the mood but I've already had people repost my art when I put it on reddit so...might as well get the credit if my stuff is gonna be reposted regardless. RAMBLE INCOMING!!
Thinking about how shamura was most likely the one to find + raise their adopted siblings and help them survive the mass deicide that happened thousands of years before....OUUGH. I have so many ideas for comics that take place when half the bishops were still lil kids. I have one in progress right now actually. But it just hurts when I remember how it all ends- they loved their family for so long and yet they credit their love as what caused it to fall apart!!! The lore of the bishops only sunk in when I was dealing with my own heavy sibling angst, and I was like wow....shamura supported the sibs so much they accidentally encouraged their brother into being a heretic, and couldn't close pandora's box in time to save him or the rest of the family. They blame themself for the past 1,000 years and seem to be totally okay with dying for what they did?? Like when they get sent to the shadow realm they tell you to "finish the job" instead of leaving them in purgatory. And despite being the bishop of war, they are the only bishop to not have a "desperate" phase where their attacks get more brutal. They're not desperate, they just want to get it over with. All their other siblings are dead by then anyway so it's not like they have anything to stick around for, even if they were healthy enough to win the battle. Plus I mean...narinder is the bishop of death so they probably just want to see him one last time. Owch
Don't get me wrong I love to hate narinder and his only role in my cult is the guy who cleans the outhouse, but I really like his dynamic with shamura vs. the other siblings. I kinda see him as the troubled kid that couldn't assimilate into the family and shamura took it upon themself to try and fix him. It's interesting thinking about how they're the only one he shows remorse for despite feeling the most betrayed by them. I don't think he 100% hates them, he's just been locked in gay baby jail for so long he's had nothing better to think about than "my sibling encouraged me to experiment with my godly duties, and then punished me for it!!". He's not wrong? But also is shamura that wrong either??? Idk it's complicated with no real answer and I like it a lot, I wish the game told us more about what the bishops were like before they got their shit rocked during the schism. I would've loved to see shamura before their brain was turned to mush by their tbi + 1,000 years of suffocating grief and crushing guilt :)
ANYWAY thanks for making it to the bottom of this rant, here is a sketch I did a while ago of shamura + baby leshy from a prequel au thing I don't have a name for yet:
Seen a meme with chihuahuas the other day, and since then the idea to redraw it was haunting my dreams.
Original is under the cut and I URGE you to see it!
