something something. i was listening to my church by aviators on loop while drawing this so imagine there are cool lyrics. my spirit my church my people etc.
The Lamb started loosing themselves as they ascend, but the thing that keeps them stable just so happens to be a certain cat! Nari knows the mental strain becoming a god entails. He wants to keep the lamb stable, even if he won’t admit it
Lambe does not have any interest in romance, he’s very close friends with Sozo but that’s as close as he gets. we ship em a little haha !! never actually gonna happen though,,
Rem doesn't really care for romance either, but there are certain,, emotional investments with a few followers wink wonk (qpr !!)
as for me ? [this entire au started because I made a self-insert bc I fell head over heels for Heket the first interaction I had with her because she told me to kneel and I said yes ma’am]
.
to be truthful, it’s a bit,, complex. romance with a former dictator/bishop/god who was directly responsible for the almost-annihilation of your entire species isn’t easy. Lambe and Rem were NOT impressed when I confessed to them hahaha !!! but we’ve figured it out after almost 50 years of marriage, (which I might add was a terribly embarrassing event on my end).
I use my fancy-shmancy mind-reading powers to allow her to communicate with me easier ! after she trusted me enough to consent, of course. and she doesn’t mind my blabbering hehe.
talking with her helped me find myself again - in a sense - after the Dark Times. I would tell her facts about all the crops and flowers, and describe all my followers’ personalities and drama. it was oddly comforting,, I was too scared to talk to her at first, but then it started and it felt so natural. I think that’s what scared me the second time. how easy it was to just, let go of everything her and her siblings had done to us.
but I think I was just tired of feeling hurt.
and she made me smile, and I made her laugh !! tried not to until her throat healed properly tho whoops.
gosh haha look at me, I could ramble about my wife all day. hope that explains enough hehe !!

[and starshroom art dump that has varying degrees of canon to the actual characterizations and interactions LOL]
Anyway here are the wips put together and with the music so now you get some context, the timing is off on some of it but that'll be fixed later <3 It's been a long time since I've done any animatics so I'm trying to get back into the swing of it, but I'm having fun (and procreate's animation assist feature is wonderful, highly recommend-)
My hope is when I finish this there'll be proper bgs to fill the empty space, so anyway
