The Shepherd of Souls

I had an idea for a COTL AU in which the Lamb is a reincarnation of the original god of death, known as the Shepherd of Souls.

#my art #cult of the lamb #the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #cotl au #cotl fanart #relics of the old faith added some very interesting lore surrounding how one would become a bishop #so the idea is that Narinder found the crown after the gods' war #and the lamb was fated to be chosen as his vessel (and eventual successor) because they were the original wearer of the crown #illustration #narilamb #< adding this tag bc. yeah 👍

din’s champion

#tloz #ocarina of time #oot #ganondorf #din #um #ganondin #…..does anyone here ship them ha. hahaha #i mean their whole thing is funny actually because she didnt even choose him but he managed to steal her triforce and #so then hes her ‘chosen’ by technicality. but with her virtue being power it’s maybe kinda one and the same #and anyway beyond that point i feel like she loves shaking him around like a mortal dog toy #but like in some way she also must have believed in him enough to give him Power in a different lifetime. so he’d survive his own execution #i;m just saying there is so much you can interpret about their relationship. despite her being #literally an unseen 4th dimensional being who is the embodiment of power and fire and change amd earth itself etc #like what do they think of each other. what does she think of this tiny mortal who somehow stole a piece of her and now theyre bound by it #take my hand walk w me thru mortal x god hyperdimensional traumatic power imbalance situationship. and youre both girls

EVERYONE VOTE SONIC FOR ME ON THIS MONTHS SONIC CHANNEL ART POLL PLEASEEEE FOR THE LOVE OF GODDDD

#ROUGE AND INFINITE ALREADY APPEARED IN SONIC CHANNEL ART THIS YEAR #AND SONIC IS MY FAVORITE LITTLE GUY AND I WANNA SEE HIM IN A CUTE OUTFIT #PLUS KNUCKLES IS THE ALREADY CHOSEN CHARACTER AND I WANNA SEE THEM TOGETHER #PLEASE #hes winning right now at the time im typing this. thank god #hes only 5 percent ahead of rouge but considering its a 3 way poll this time. the votes are divided more #so a 5 percent difference isnt as scary. since a vote against sonic isnt automatically a vote for rouge #and infinite is way further behind #thankfully for most of the polls involving characters who have already appeared in sonic channel art this year #people have been good about choosing the one that hasnt gotten to be in any art yet. like omega beat shadow which was kinda shocking #so sonic definitely has a chance

Thoughts on the thunder wizard again.

Genuinely, I find Gale's relationship with Mystra to be fascinating when you consider all its facets. Unhealthy, imbalanced, definitely poisonous, but also very, very intricate with a lot of blurred edges to it. One of those things where you're both like "wow, what the hell, that's horrible" but also "that makes perfect sense for their characters, and while I would NEVER, I know why they would, and why it happened."

You've got a wizard who doesn't know what real love is, who thinks he's finally being shown it by the person he adores most. His greatest fantasy, his most potent joy, his most heartfelt aspirations, and they were all offered to him.

And he wants to see what all she's hiding from him, because of course he does. She's the keeper of all things forbidden to him. The empire of Netheril reached magical heights that will never be touched again, and all that knowledge is beyond her curtain. She loves him, right? Surely, if he proves himself enough, she'll let him grasp that power he so desperately wants.

And not even in the power-hungry sense! All that magic Mystra's locked up was accessible during Mystryl's reign. Think of all the answers to theories about the universe that are back there. Every question of "can this be done, and what would it do" would be answered, if he could just bargain hard enough.

She loves him, right?

Surely, if he proves himself enough...

And then, on the other hand, Mystra. Once Midnight, her human personality has been subsumed by the goddess of magic and her duty to the Weave. She has a responsibility to magic, she IS magic.

Then along comes this mortal boy who knows how to handle her Weave. Who doesn't try to wrestle with and dominate, who sings to it. He handles it with such ease and grace—it's not just that he could be Chosen, but he deserves it. To put her Weave in the hands of someone so intrinsically in tune with it, who understands its potential with a wonder like no other. Few enough can handle the raw power that comes with being Chosen, but this one? This one is perfect.

And he adores you. And you adore him, like one would a beautiful butterfly that's landed on their finger. And he's willing to be devoted to you in all things, not out of transaction like most of your worshipers are, but out of love for you, your craft, your magic. You're so deeply and utterly charmed by him.

And it's not like Mystra hasn't walked this path before.

She gives him what he desires, because what he desires is her. And, in a different way, she desires him. She wants him to be her representation in the world. She indulges his adoration with her own presence, and takes indulgence herself in mortal comforts. He's never satisfied with her answers, but who could blame him? She keeps a whole world away from mortals, because she knows what such unfettered power might bring about (again).

And the wizarding prodigy's ambition is lit (again).

And the height of power is reached for (again).

And she stops him (again, again, again).

She does care for him. She doesn't want to see her little butterfly burn himself, and she doesn't want to be the one to ruin those wings.

But then he's not a butterfly. He's a mortal, wielding a weapon of murder, of her murder, and he's brought it to her doorstep because she told him "no." And he's cut himself on it, he doesn't know what it is, but it's hurt him—and it's only a fraction of the hurt it could do to her. How dare he want her help after threatening her?

(He didn't mean to.)

(He only wanted to help.)

(He only wanted. How human.)

She doesn't help him. If he wants to pursue Karsus' weaponry, it's his responsibility, his hubris, that led him to injuring himself on it. She's furious. She's hurt. She's cold.

(What fools these mortals be.)

But then, there's a greater threat to her. Something that could drown the Material in Karsus' failings. And that little boy, who nicked himself on the sword he lifted, still wants her help.

It's a fair trade, isn't it? She'll forgive him, let him into her domain again, if he accepts his punishment and goes into battle for her. He picked up a sword, it's appropriate that he learns to use it in her name, right?

If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't hesitate. If he really wanted to serve her with the Netherese Orb, he would jump at the opportunity to do so. He would have to give up a few petty things in the process, ("petty," she calls mortality, as if family and home mean nothing, as if friends and love are finite. Because to her, they do mean nothing. Because to her, they are finite.) but it isn’t atonement without sacrifice, is it?

It's the tactical move. She's not above hurting one man to save a nation. It's not even the first time she's done it.

(Dornal Silverhand sends his regards.)

If he loves her, he'd die for her, because she'd let him into her paradise. If he doesn't love her, he won't, and she was justified in removing him from her grace.

He doesn't love her. Not anymore.

Does he hate her enough to try to take his dues?

Ambition has always been man's greatest folly.

#bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #mystra #listen. go watch steven universe where rose says 'i'm not a real person'#pay attention to how rose laughs at greg and how funny and sweet humans are #that's how i think mystra sees her chosen #but she lacks rose's willingness to change and dip into mortal life #gale is cute. gale is precious. gale is wonderful. but gale is amusing.#and he's not equal to a god. certainly not the goddess of magic. and his attempts to insist that he is are only met with a pat on the head #long post #oops i turned a ramble into poetry again. i swear it's not intentional #the parentheses got me :/

Kristen truly is so strong for not completely losing it on her parents when they told her “maybe helio wouldn't have let that happen". The absolute RAGE that flooded me at them saying that. Kristen, Helios chosen, who died on the first day of school and he didn’t help her. Kristen, who was almost sacrificed by Helio cultists who wanted to kill her in his name. Kristen telling Mac and Donna about the hellmouth and them REFUSING to listen to her, Kristen TRYING TO TALK TO THEM and MAC KICKING HER OUT OF THEIR HOUSE. Saying it seemed like she had a new family and then she should stay with them. Oh. My god. I will never ever shut up about the hellmouth plot Mac and Donna Applebees every second you are not running I am getting CLOSER

#They say this in response to her teacher being MURDERED #WHEN LITERALLY SHE WAS ALMOST MURDERED. JUST BECAUSE SHE FOLLOWED HELIO #BECAUSE SHE WAS CHOSEN #OH MY GOD #d20 fhjy #fantasy high #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #kristen applebees #yolanda badgood #mac and Donna applebees #bucky applebees #coach daybreak

Cat heaven is a winter greenhouse on a sunny day.

#crawling along #you must feel god-chosen when you're a cat having access to 28°C when the sinners (dog) are stuck outside in negative temperatures #(this dog prefers the cold and even moreso if it snows but that's not comprehensible to a cat's brain)#i wanted to write a detailed winter greenhouse newsletter but haven't had time #so this is like... a trailer #soon on your screens: fish and flowers and fairly huge radishes #and a cameo by the undefeatable parsley

Also there're so many reasons why durge might want to deny Bhaal, aside from general "killing is bad, the god of murder is bad."

Orin betrayed them and it was somewhat from silent approval of Bhaal, so "god betrayed me first" kind of narrative. A desire to get revenge, on Orin AND on Bhaal.

A desire to live. Durge's fate, Durge's Destiny is to literally kill everyone and then themselves. What if they want to live? What if desire to live is stronger than desire to kill?

Alternatively, what if there's someone they don't want to kill? A single person for Durge to care about, a single person they would want to save instead of bloodying father's altar with their blood. A single connection like that is all what it would take.

A desire to break free. Durge can be completely okay with murders, loving murdering people even, reveling in violence. But they're their father's puppet and they could want to break free of it, to have their own will, to have only their voice in their head. To be a master of themselves with no one to kneel to.

The "I'm better than my father" kind of mindset. Durge is made of a flesh of a god, in a sense they ARE god. Bhaal was mortal once. Why would Durge listen to him when they can attempt to overthrow him, to become a new god?

Being compelled to other side. It's not unknown for gods to steal each other's followers/chosen ones. Look at Ketheric, look at Shadowheart. Myrkul is recently chosen-less after the Moonrise Towers. Bane would love to fuck with Bhaal like that. Shar is there. Good gods who would try to redeem Durge or use them against their own father are there. It would be a delightful power move from Selune to offer Durge assistance/ an alliance against Bhaal.

Idk, I just love how multidimensional the defiance of Bhaal can be. I have a lil army of Durges exactly because I can mold them into such different people

#bg3 spoilers #dark urge #the dark urge #bg3 durge #durge #like june is compelled to the other side (selune) while also wanting to live. the desire to live is his main fuel #levi thinks bhaal betrayed him alongside orin AND he believes himself to be equal to bhaal so why would he need his father #when HE can be a god of his own?#also he refused to kill gortash when his father ordered.#ONE person. Why couldn't he have ONE person for himself? He was such a good son #A perfect obedient murder incarnate #He just wanted ONE man for himself #He didn't give a fuck what it was a banite. It was HIS banite. They WORKED together.#Father said Gortash is useful when they just met he said levi should use him #why it's suddenly 'kill bane's chosen'???#the answer is because levi started to care for gortash way too much for bhaal's liking. bhaal doesn't like when it's not about him it seems
