How does Helob catch food? Is he an ambush predator or a chaser?

Helob is a chaser.

He probably likes the thrill, and thinks it makes his prey taste better.

Although, he doesn't always chase down his prey.

Sometimes, he'll wait for his prey to come to him.

Like any spider would

If he's not chasing, he'll use his webs to catch his prey.

When he does that, it's usually just to relax on the sidelines, or to see his prey squirm.

He's a pretty nice guy, but when it comes to his food, he's pretty sadistic.

- Aym and Baal Headcanons -

first post. lets see how this goes, yeah? I'm starving for Aym and Baal content. We love our boys

------------------

 + Baal +

Flirty Aroace but cant understand when someone flirts with him

Baal is the older twin by 20 minutes 

The more distant twin in terms of getting to know others

Uses humor as a coping mechanism when stressed 

More of a physical touch lover

Baal loves and adores his brother more than anything, but will mess with him to hell and back, much to his twins annoyance

Back in the afterlife, Baal didn't really like Narinder and now that hes been resurrected there is a lot of underlying anger, hate and spite

Made sure Aym didnt fall for a lot of the really bad lies 

Only hangs around him due to the feeling of obligation and Aym

Despite him being the oldest and colder twin, Baal is a hell of a lot more chaotic and as a result more rebellious than his twin. He can and will bother several people in one day and link them all together to cause the most dramatic shit for no reason

On a good day hes mischievous and funny little goofball, who'd you have to stop from being a little thieving shit. 

Him and Aym are pretty acrobatic

The physically stronger twin

Caused the cut on Ayms eye, still feels a little guilty on the really bad days

Really good at social cues and communicating

After being resurrected, he convinced Aym to run away and explore with him, and find their mother. They stay a short walk away from her now

The camillia he wore started dying a bit after being brought back. It crushed him

He ended up planting a lot of camillia around their house, that he took from the lambs cult

Calls Aym, Murder Kitty, Ayme and Moon Moon

- Aym -

‘Gay gay homosexual gay gay’ - Baal 

The more emotional twin but covers it by being aggressive and violent

Rants about his hyper-fixation if you ask him a single question

Not the best with social cues or words in general. He's trying

Preferred love language is words of affirmation 

Aym loves his brother but wishes he wasn't such an annoying shit a times

Aym has a more positive opinion of Narinder than his brother but does still feel the same anger and hate

Narinder caused the cut on his ear and manipulated him the most

Understands his brother's hatred for Narinder and does not show any animosity toward that fact 

still obeys Narinder to a degree even if he doesn't feel okay doing it

Not nearly as chaotic as Baal but chaotic enough. Unlike his brother, Aym is more subtle and chaotic. Sleeping in wild positions moving things around and causing a bit of a panic

On a good day, he's a little arsonist. He will burn everything

Can't cook for shit

He and Baal are pretty acrobatic 

The stronger twin in regards to magic

Forgives Baal for cutting his eye whenever he apologizes. Baal shouldn't have to feel guilty about an accident that happened 12 years ago

Took a bit of convincing due to fear and feelings of obligation, but ran away with Baal from Narinder to explore and find their mother. Has nightmares of him finding them 

Calls Baal, Baliel, Chaos Incarnate, and sunshine

Cult of the Lamb: Redemption - Chapter #2 Preview

(Thoughts and opinions are welcome - be nice!)

Guilt - Narinder

Perhaps it was naive of him to think he could tolerate the pain.

Turning over onto his back is a motion that now that he's done, he thought he knew what to expect. But instead, the pain is just as piercing as before.

Still, he's able to push through it.

The idea of using his arms to push himself up, however?

He's tried twice now, and each time, his arms have cramped up, shaking violently as he falls back into place. His wrists are the worst, and he doesn't need to open his eyes to know there's scaring marring the fur around them.

He's sure it looks as awful as it feels.

No. Perhaps it feels worse. He can get over what it looks like, but this pain... He's not sure when it's going to stop. If it ever will.

What he is sure of is that he isn't letting it beat him. He tolerated the pain of his chains and being trapped in place for long enough. He will no longer let the phantoms of his torment hold him down.

Even if it means suffering with every movement he makes.

And damn, does he suffer.

He tries to use his legs, to push himself up and take some weight off his arms, but much to his dismay, his legs are in no better condition. Still, he persists.

His whole body is shaking by the time he shoves himself back up against the wall, in some semblance of a sitting position. He is damn near breathless and wants nothing more than to go back to sleep again and deal with his hunger later.

But he's worked too hard to give up now. Opening his eyes, it is dark in the room, the only light coming from the window to his right. It's just enough sunlight to make his eyes water, so he turns his head to the left.

The mixed meal is on the nightstand just next to the bed, and easily within arm's reach. He takes a long moment to relax before attempting to grab the food.

He's dizzy from his efforts.

He should try to organize his thoughts, but the task seems even more impossible than moving.

He was chained for centuries. Found a Lamb to kill the Bishops- his siblings, and free him. The Lamb kills the Bishops. The Lamb proceeds not tofree him but defeats him instead and steals his crown. They spare his life rather than kill him. Then force him to join their cult as a mere follower.

There is... A lot to unpack there.

Thinking about it all still brings forth an overwhelming surge of emotions that he's still not ready to face.

But what other option does he have? When he was chained, all he could do was boil and fester with rage. Plotting his vengeance, waiting.

Waiting.

Always. Fucking. Waiting.

Enjoy this preview of chapter #2, it will be out tomorrow on Ao3 at noon, and on Tumblr around 8:30. (I even set an alarm so I won't forget this time!)

Cult of the Lamb: Redemption - Chapter #1 Preview

Thoughts and opinions are welcome - be nice! (It will be posted in full on my Ao3 account Rooney_2108 first, then fully on Tumblr after.)

Pain - Narinder

Narinder didn't realize how much it would... Hurt.

To be free.

His arms hurt, his body hurt, and his head hurt.

As a god, he had never felt pain like this, which was the first of many signs that he was no longer divine.

And that terrified him. His arms hurt so badly he couldn't move them, and for a moment it felt like the ghosts of his chains still held him in place. His head ached from the light of the sun stabbing through the window of his home, into his light-sensitive eyes.

He can't move. His whole body feels like lead against the soft bed below him. Blankets weigh even heavier on top of him, adding to the feeling of being restrained. He wants to thrash around and escape from under them, but his limbs cramp up with every attempt he makes to move them.

And the jolt of fear that surges through him at that realization makes him want to scream out in agony and terror.

But centuries of captivity have taught him the uselessness of struggling. Have taught him patience. So he clamps his jaw shut and keeps his eyes sealed closed. Trying to listen.

He only just joined his usurpers cult as a follower yesterday, the adrenaline from their fight hadn't even left his system and suddenly he the damn Lamb was showing him to his own private grand shelter, set up farther away from the other followers for 'safety purposes.' Whether the Lamb meant for him or the rest of the cult he still isn't sure.

He didn't know how to respond, he was tired. So very tired. He had never felt tired before, but this mortal body... He secured the shelter as soon as the Lamb was gone. Barricading the entrance, and windows, sealing himself inside before allowing himself to collapse into the bed and rest.

Now he's not sure how much time has passed, just that it is daylight, and that the adrenaline of everything that's happened has now left this newly mortal body of his in shambles.

Freedom. He had wanted it so bad, and now he has it, but it's nothing like he had hoped.

He is angry and miserable, he wants to scream and cry, and he wants to go back in time and wring that lamb's neck when he has the chance instead of handing over the crown to the filthy traitor. He feels like a fool, powerless, and afraid.

Trapped by something even worse than the chains his siblings had used on him. Pain.

Sooo, that's a short preview of what's to come Pookies. I hope you enjoy the angst, and I will see you again when the chapter is released (drum roll please) tomorrow! On Ao3 at noon, and then on here around 8 or 9 pm.

Notes and helpful criticisms are welcome. But be polite. I'll cry if you're not. That's a threat.

Cotl Fanfic - Thoughts & Opinions?

So, this is the first post on this new account and it's a question for my Cult of the Lamb fandom pookies. I just recently got the game and I'm obsessed with it and have been thinking about writing a BUNCH of fanfiction.

So I wanted notes and suggestions on some things, and I might even make polls on some of them, starting most importantly with the topic below:

Gender, Pronouns, and Sexuality that are so far, are solely based on vibes and what I've seen the rest of the fandom agreeing on (And canon of course):

- The Lamb's identity will probs change depending on the fic type, but for most of them they will be assigned male at birth, He/They & Pansexual. Simple and sweet because our lamb boi is just tryna SURVIVE out here in a cult of idiots that can't even cook their own food or clean up their own shit. (Is this just me wanting to write more he/they characters in my stories because I'm he/they? Yes. Yes, it is folks.)

- Narinder is transgender male He/Him. I'm making him transgender male because I said so. I want more trans rep guys, leave me alone. & Homosexual because if his whole vibe and personality doesn't scream gay angsty emo cat I don't know what else in this world does.

- Leshy is cisgender He/Him. I can imagine him experimenting with they/them though. I may include something on that... If anyone has any notes on that I'm all ears. Best Bi. His level of chaos just radiates ADHD bisexual with way too much energy and free time.

- Heket is cis-gender She/Her. The only girlie in the family, fates have mercy on her and her patience. A lesbian for sure. I think the whole fandom just sort of agrees on this, right? With like, lots of wives because she is a highkey baddie? At least that's the impression I've been given based on all of her fanart and simps.

- Calamari- Sorry, I mean Kallamar, is cis-gendered He/Him. I was thinking of making him a transgender man too? Idk, I've just been told the cis's need rep too, and it made me gag and now I want to wave my magic writer wand and make all the characters trans and nonbinary. Opinions on that are welcome. Anyway. A pansexual, and I hear he canonically had multiple spouses? Despite looking like he has zero rizz. I mean, damn. Good for him I guess. Go squid boy, go.

In this, he's gonna be single though, because I like the idea of him struggling to find new spouses and Heket laughing at his struggle.

- Shamura is absolutely nonbinary they/them. A friend has told me this is canon, and that people may gun for my fucking throat if I change it. Not that I really want to, it fits. Shamura is lowkey one of my favorites. I just like spiders. I'm also deeply afraid of them and cry if I see them irl. I also think they're bisexual in the exact opposite way as Leshy, in that they are a calm, mildly tired wine aunt of the family, mixed with the senile grandparent that snores loudly then stops and everyone pauses and looks at each other like 'Are... Are they fucking dead?'

Anyway, this is a long post, but I needed to get this out there before I started writing stuff for this fandom. Any opinions are welcome, but no bullying other people's thoughts, and be chill guys.

Fr. I'm like a skittish cat, you'll scare me away, and then no one gets fanfiction.

Pride Month is almost over so here’s my Cult of the Lamb pride headcanons. (FINDING GOOD SPRITES WAS A PAIN-)
