Very interesting that Cotl official twitter called the goat a ‘dark reflection’ of the Lamb…..because the Lamb themself is already a subversion of what connotations lambs and sheep have in a lot of societies: purity, meekness, submissive/natural followers etc etc…..The Lamb has been shown to be cruel and unconcerned with objections to their cult leadership and the unsavory things they do (outside of punishing those who do object), thwarting expectations of what a meek little sacrificial lamb should be, so I’m unsure what they mean—is it just aesthetically? What is the Goat capable of doing that the Lamb isn’t? Is it just attitude-wise?
The Goat, however, is an animal often maligned and associated with the occult, shadowy pagan tendencies (this, however, is primarily part of wider Christian oriented views. Other religious and spiritual practices will vary) and viewed as troublesome. If their subversion were to follow along thematically with the Lamb’s, I would expect that despite the Goat’s rough attitude and penchant for destruction, they would be more clear-eyed about the nature of the Lands of the Old Faith. Maybe not necessarily an absolute “good” person, but at least recognizing the harm they are committing and the rationalizations behind it, and perhaps disinterested in power unlike the Lamb. Idk. I just find these things #interesting

really awkward at talking abt these things but we had a pretty sudden death in my family, and it has been hitting everyone kinda hard. I’m doing okay, I wasn’t overly close with the family member myself, but am incredibly close to people who were. I’m gonna be offering support to them, and on top of that the situation is just a lot to deal with. I have no idea what this will do to activity. Writing can be an outlet but I also know I will likely be incredibly tired for a while. Just wanted to let you all know where I’m at for the time being <3

It’s honestly really exhausting to be taught in speech pathology that you should use specific, clear, and concise language when talking to others, but Neurotypicals never seem to understand specific contextual language and act as if you’re using vague terminology 😭😩😭
