Recently I’ve been addictedto Cult of The Lamb and have been reading one of my favorite writer/artist on this platform @bamsara’s (please notice me…) “The Rehabilitation of Death” on A03.
AND IM DESPERATE FOR MORE CONTENT OF THEM! (Get writing Bam! *taps wrist aggressively*/j)
So in order to (semi) quench my insatiable need for more NariLamb content I decided to draw them!
The art style of how I drew the Lamb and Narinder is referenced off of @runningwithscizzorz’s designs
[P.S! they’re naked because I was too lazy to draw cloths…]
honestly its funny when really long standing fandom is starved of new content, because people start dissecting the source material in really specific ways. not in analytic way, because that was done long ago, but like in “desperately using microscope to try find very last scraps of meat” kind of way.
what i mean is that at some point i saw lotr gif set that was like “frodo + looking to left”
hello y'all, i know right now in the west where most of the tumblr userbase is it’s christmas time: the season of giving, where people acrossthe world are buying many presents for their beloveds and decorations as well like christmas trees and lights in preparation for festivities. yet meanwhile, in the birthplace of christ himself, the man that this holiday celebrates, the palestinian people are suffering calamity and tragedy beyond anything any of us can comprehend. around the day people come to celebrate a mother’s birth of a very special child, thousands of actual mothers and their children are experiencing the horrors of war.
one such mother and child is suad ahmed and her child khaled. khaled was born during the midst of this war, and as a result cannot grow in the safety and health a child deserves. he’s currently very ill with a respiratory illness and his body, not even fully developed yet, fights so hard to live. i cannot imagine fighting for survival before even being a year old..
the best, most meaningful gift you can give to anyone this christmas, is support for the mother and child under war. this campaign is literally their lifeline, as all proceeds go to necessities like tents, clothing, food and water and baby formula. so please give what you can and share.
“My mistake was in thinking that you had any integrity,” I hissed, before realizing that that was far too badass a line to be said to a snapped hairtie.
Depression is such an effective tranquilizer that it creates a great opportunity for plot twists in your real life. I have a pretty consistent opinion of myself which is “low” and “never ending guilt and shame for reasons I don’t understand.”
Recently received feedback from two different editing clients that started with “Please pass along to Jacquelynn that she is phenomenal at her job” and “I was blown away by the evaluation I received.”
You always hear about how depression (and anxiety) lies to you and distorts reality, but there is logically knowing that and then there is like, physical proof of it and you are suddenly Neo in the Matrix jumping out of the fucked up little tube machine.
Look, medication and therapy are essential, but I think we shouldn’t underestimate this form of treatment
*covered in blood* i will…. *trembling* CHOOSE TO BE KIND… *in pain* i will be… NICE to others… *wanting to kill* i will see good in EVERYONE *yelding a knife* i will NOT be like those who hurt me… *screaming* i will be BETTER than who i was…
So I read this article a few days ago, and I have been haunted by it ever since.
This young woman, Nevaeh, had an “oops” pregnancy. As you may have already guessed, she was from a Christian background–her name, “Heaven,” spelled backwards, is popular in Evangelical circles. She, “believed abortion was morally wrong,” and “didn’t care whether the government banned it,” since she wouldn’t have chosen to have one anyway.
Instead, she decided to carry the pregnancy to term and raise the baby, with the support of her mother and her boyfriend, the baby’s father. Her boyfriend, the baby’s father, gave her a diamond promise ring, and she picked out a name–Lillian–and planned a baby shower.
On the day of the baby shower, she felt unwell, then developed a fever and began vomiting. Her mother took to her to the ER, where she was given a prescription for antibiotics and sent home. A few hours later, she felt even worse, and her mother took her to the other hospital in their town, which had an obstetric emergency room. They did some tests, including checking the fetal heart rate, and told her the baby was fine. The gave her IV fluids and antibiotics, recorded her increasing fever, fast pulse, and high fetal heart rate, and sent her home again. She had to be taken out to the car in a wheelchair, because her pain was so bad.
A few hours later, she started bleeding, and they went back to the hospital with the obstetric emergency department. There, a different doctor did an ultrasound and was unable to find a fetal heartbeat.
Under Texas law, a medical practitioner faces up to 99 years in prison for performing any intervention that ends a fetal heartbeat. So, at this point, the doctors were free to treat her like a seriously ill human being, and not an ambulatory vessel for a life more valuable than her own–however, they hadn’t recorded the first ultrasound. To ensure they could demonstrate compliance with the law, the doctor ordered a second one.
Somehow, that ended up taking about an hour and a half, during which time Neveah’s condition got worse. By the time the second ultrasound was done, and the doctor was able to order a D&C to remove the deceased fetus, she was too weak to sign the release forms–her mother had to sign for her.
Before they got her into the operating room, she was dead.
If they were going to make an exception for anybody, they would have made one for her: a pro-life, Christian girl, who responded to her unplanned pregnancy by getting excited about becoming a mom. Who was not just unwell, not just in danger, but actually dying when she was refused care.
The Texas fetal heartbeat law does have an exception when the mother’s life is at immediate risk. However, the Texas Attorney General has made clear–and several Trump-appointed judges have backed him up–to Texas doctors that they will be charged with homicide if he, who has no medical credentials whatsoever, disagrees with their professional judgment that a procedure which ended a fetal heartbeat was necessary to safe the life of the mother. That’s why the doctor needed that second ultrasound.
That’s probably why the other two doctors sent Nevaeh home: they couldn’t be accused of an intervention that ended the fetal heartbeat, if they didn’t intervene.
The leopards that eat people’s faces, like all predators, go for the most vulnerable members of the herd. The guy up front on the podium, getting rich off bloviating about how leopards just have to eat a person’s face from time to time, he’s safe–not because of any loyalty on the part of the leopards, but because others in the group are softer targets.
You have been posting a lot today about the cursed ones. I just want to remind you that you bought it at your own risk. Our merchants won't accept returns even if you get possesed.

Returns?! Are you crazy? Why would I ever want to return my great amulet!? I am perfectly happy with it and sure won’t be giving it to anyone, ever!
This is on my mind due to a few of my fandoms but I’ve seen it pretty much everywhere: whether a character deserves redemption is far more about genuine remorse and restitution, not the magnitude of wrongdoing nor the severity of punishment. A guy who kicks one dog, is beaten nearly to death, recovers, and kicks a second dog doesn’t get a redemption arc. A guy who commits a war crime, is given a stern talking to and a slap on the wrist, and changes their ways and goes about attempting in good faith to make amends does. You cannot punish someone into redemption and you cannot traumatize someone into blamelessness and it’s pretty fucked up people act like the quantity of suffering is what brings about redemption and not the actions willingly taken.
ok, so upon further inspection and words with a local lawyer thing. We have found out that we’re under 100 dollars away from having enough to start the family unification!
Of course until the process is complete(which is gonna take a while) we’ll still need more money to run on for food and such.
But still, 100 dollars away.
If anyone can help us cross this threshold, please do. Be it via spreading the word or donating.
I’m tired of people saying that this is ‘a safe space for all’ but when I talk about my cursed amulet one time suddenly I’m 'a danger to us all’ and 'need to destroy the damnèd thing’. Honestly you people
Look, this post has been wildly more popular than I thought it deserved, apparently at least in part because “don’t burden others; be independent” is far more ingrained in people than I realized. So here’s the thing: society works when people help each other. Helping others gives people a chance to know each other, and gives them an investment in the people they help. Helping creates bonds. People enjoy helping, and you are doing a good by letting them help you if they so wish.
Offer help; accept help. You will be a part of creating a helping culture. Which, incidentally, weakens capitalism and the fractionation between people that benefits those who would use us.

NEVER let men be masculine. hold the line soldiers
You guys are actually part of the reason why men think being feminine is terrible, weak, and bad. You guys just want men to act like 50s housewives with a woke leftist touch.
thinks about making men into 50s housewives and gets so horny i fall over and hit my head and bleed out on the pavement
