I'm new to this blog, what's dream lamb and dream narinder?? They're cool but I do not understand I wish to comprehend

Dream Lamb (And Dream Narinder) is exactly as the name implies; dream versions of the counterpart that only appears within Narinder's (Or Lambert's) dreams at night.

They are a visual manifestation of the subconscious, they are not real individuals. They can reflect what Narinder/Lamb's true feelings are about something/someone, or torment them about things that they perceive to be true.

One example is that Dream Lamb often makes Narinder remember how fondly he thinks of the Lamb ("You think of them so poetically" + all prior friendship he had with them in the gateway) or pointing out how his words contradict his actions; behaving and believing them to be a traitor and insufferable but doing things of his own will (resurrecting the crab, not killing their flock because it makes them upset, allowing Leshy to live, ect ect).

Dream Lamb ALSO points out the complicated feelings with his siblings; ie reminding him of how he used to help raise his youngers, and the mixture of emotions he feels towards individuals who he claims he despises.

Dream Narinder (Who is not into written form yet and is only in comic form as of this post) who instead of tormenting the dreamer with confrontation of feelings being denied, instead sews doubt and guilt. The Lamb feels even though they stayed true to themselves, they cannot help but feel like their perceived betrayal has damaged the friendship between them and Narinder beyond repair. Despite that grief for the loss of friendship, they'll accept what little companionship they can have from their best friend left over.

Dream Narinder fuels on this, often echoing their worst fears and worries ('You've done a good job as my vessel, so I no longer have a need for you.") So he acts non-nonchalant and often mocking/teasing, or even indulgent with the acknowledgment that none of it is real. Where as Dream Lamb confronts Narinder with feelings he's wanting to push back, Dream Narinder goes the opposite route, and calmly and casually reinforces what they believe to be the reality.

Dream Lamb represents Denial of the Truth, While Dream Narinder is the Acceptance of a Lie.

However,

Because they are corrupted visuals of the subconscious, but still their subconscious nonetheless, this means that these behaviors can change or be different depending on how the dreamer thinks/feels, and how they're processing their emotions in relation to something. Especially when they're confronting it.

In other words, the closer Narinder gets to accepting his feelings and understanding the Lamb's reasoning for their 'betrayal', and the closer the Lamb gets to realizing Narinder's care for them still persists, the more accurate and truer the dreams become.

Like in this comic, where Dream Narinder is tormenting the Lamb, but after their snap back that Narinder would not say something so cruel to them, despite his outward attitude, they are practically rewarded with a praise for it.

For Dream Narinder specifically, his eye remains closed....but opens a little more the closer and closer the Lamb gets to believing how Narinder truly feels about them, whether the real cat has accepted it or not.

As for Dream Lamb, they go from being very aggressive about their confrontation to something more docile, eventually as Narinder starts to process everything.

Another thing: the Dreams are linked. Not always, but they have to be on the same...wavelength for it. An understanding, perhaps. But they do affect each other, sometimes.

The dreams can be nice too, depending. That's why they're not always nightmarish. Meaning, with enough push and pull, eventually:

Why all of this dream and nightmare stuff is happening? Yet to be revealed.

Remember guys if you avoid your feelings in real life they might hunt you down in your dreams, and possibly bluetooth you to the object of your affections dreams as well if you're nice about it

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

That one Beastars panel

my favourite area :]

when artist consistently draws the same pattern of things for a long time like... Puppies or something.. and then gets interested in skeletons and starts consistently drawing skeletons....

Thats when a lot of people start to really be mean or show entitlement it's clear they view artists as "art dispenser" and not and actual person with a consciousness that flows like a river. It's like they think the art machine is broken and it used to give me puppy art but it's broken now and I get skeleton art so someone should fix it ?

People go through phases of things they like sometimes people really are into something for years and then they're into something else for years and then they go back to the old thing for a week and then they do something else again

Artists aren't brands they aren't corporations you aren't consuming them ... They're human people and they're trying to connect or get thoughts out or any number of reasons to create and share things and a lot of artists aren't even interested in making money off it..

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.

What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

"I often give myself good advice... But I very seldom follow it..."

Fanart for @bamsara 's Alice in Wonderland AU, which, I understand is based off the Tim Burton movies, but I love the animated version so much!

i know i do the trope of God-Like Figure Is Stripped of Power And Forced To Live Among Mortals And Ultimately Comes to Love and Respect Them a lot, but its a good trope dammit and I will use it as many times as i want.

#hooting like a rabit chimp over here

What if there's a Player 3 in COTL and they're a Sheep and the "Light Reflection" of Lamb? Sheep would probably be Lamb's "7 Heavenly Virtues" while Goat are Lamb's "7 Deadly Sins".

(btw, am tired and I drew this late at night)

that moment when you update your email log and see your fav fic updated. I legit screamed(internally)

more mafia au stuff cause the brainrot's getting me(spoilers for chapter 2)

Alternate scene for Trod 'Drunken Gods' chapter where Lamb is already drunk before Narinder even arrives to the party. Gotta love 'liquid courage'

SO TRUE

like. I see a beautiful person(or character) and my brain goes "PRETTY" and "I need that THING" but at the same time doesn't want something romantic/sexual with them

What I say: Damn, that guy's hot.

What I mean: I love that facial structure. I need to study it, learn to draw it, and use it for my art. Also, I want that haircut.

I keep going to draw goat them immediately going rouge on swap au. Every time I see someone else do the same swap I’m mentally doing the double spider man meme/pos

I keep drawing real good Shamura anatomy then getting mad I gotta add clothing. Let me draw buff arms and shoulders in peace.

stumbled upon a cotl mafia au fic and just had to draw. Awesome stuff

Worm and cat worm and cat worm and cat

What do the Bishops think about Leshy’s blossoming romance and the cat:3

I think Heket would be the most supportive, in her own way.

A secret for another day I guess

if this question hasnt been asked before,,

what was the turning point for leshy and theon in terms of realising they liked each other? what do they like most about one another?

if this /has/ been asked before,,, then ill just say i really like your art and it inspires me a lot :)

I think Leshy got a crush on Theon when he gave him a flower and welcomed him to the cult, but since he was still new to mortality and stuff he didnt realized thats what it was, wanting his company by ordering him around. After Theon tells him about his past Leshy stops being demanding and instead is trying to make it up to him (without telling him thats what hes doing of course).

Until then Theon was just trying to help him feel welcome in the camp, after he starts being nice to him Theon begins to fall for him too, spending more time together and getting to know each other a bit more.

For Leshy he probably likes how confident he is.

Theon thinks Leshy's behavior and reactions are cute.
