coming out of my mini hiatus to say that, with the bottom of my heart, river boy will be missed
ive never heard music quite like theirs, and ive always been a fan since ive discovered the game
cult of the lamb would have been a much different game without them, and I'm glad we had them along for it
i had a deep love for their music, a lot of their ost's have been on my playlists for over a year
i know this is a hard time for all of us given that I just learned of what happened and I'm deeply saddened, and I hope that we all remember them fondly
i think it's best we take these things with grace, and not be pushy about it, of course, the dev team is grieving (as am i), and I doubt it's needed to be said, but let them mourn
i know it's not as if I needed to make an announcement, but I do care deeply about their impact on the game, and the music itself, obviously
From Shamura to Shamura made with✨ slay✨
From my research: about 90% of Shamuras suffer from baldness. To solve this problem, the company BishopAU™ came up with this product
Haven't done traditional in a while so I experimented with wormwood designs and finally found one I like!
Other wormwood design under the cut that I didn't like but still felt like posting
This isn't my wormwood and wx-78 at all
regarding your lamb questionnaire; i would love to see 4, 30, & 44 answered!!! i love you & your art🩷
4. Did your lamb kill anyone prior to their first death? If so, who?
I totally misunderstood this question, thinking it was referring to after the lamb was resurrected and dying from a crusade run. But, BEFORE Miel was saved from Narinder, she never killed/injured anybody.
30. Who is your lamb’s second in command or closest follower?
44. What is your lamb’s favorite weapon? Their least favorite?
(this might be my own bias, but i never liked the gun 😭)
out here not starving amiright
Rest in peace River Boy. Thank you so much for all the love you put into your projects, both with and outside Cult of the Lamb. Your music is one of the biggest reasons I love CotL: I couldn’t stop listening to “Praise the Lamb” for days after I first played the game.
I don’t know if anyone from Massive Monster will see this, but I’m so sorry for your loss. Please take it easy and know our hearts are with you. ❤️
He probably came from an upper middle class family (He mentions having a nanny with Mumsy and he managed to get to university despite being kinda crummy at science.)
He probably has no family ties anymore (He's designed to be an immigrant and a university dropout. He probably wasn't that close to his parents either since he needed a nanny and never really mentions them.)
His family probably doesn't mind that he's gone (Again, his family seemed to be at least upper middle class with both parents probably working since he needed a nanny. I don't imagine two decently successful people would be proud to have a son who dropped out. He also never mentions them.)
Crappy puns help distract him from the horrors in The Constant (It's a lot of his dialogue, even when his corpse is being reanimated by a hostile mob he makes a joke)
He never participated in PE or had a job involving physical labor (When he carries something he says 'lift with your back' and he complains about hurting his back with Wolfgang's gym equipment. This implies he doesn't know basic lifting techniques. He also dislikes sports and claims to have never been outdoorsy)
He actively chose a house in the middle of nowhere. (He seems introverted, awkward, and maybe even shy/socially anxious occasionally, which makes it harder to have friends. His eccentricity also probably drove people away. He also seems to have a bit of an ego in the original game)
The Constant humbled him and maybe even more anxious (In the original game he says stuff like "that'll teach him", "That really showed him who's boss" and "take that nature" which is not really seen in DST. He also visibly cowers away from things, like in the CoTL collab trailer)
The Constant also made him more compassionate, empathetic, and maybe even open (He grabs onto Wartox in the Terraria collab trailer when he's in fear. He also leaps into Wanda's arms in one of the animated shorts. He also actively defends the other survivors despite being visibly anxious, unathletic, and even when working on science with Wagstaff.)
He may have studied medicine at some point (Look at his Victorian skin, the fact he can help heal others during The Gorge, he also mentions being able to amputate a limb)
He's definitely one of the only survivors who try to keep things neat and tidy. (He complains about his hair being wet/getting hat head/being poofy when he's in the middle of the wilderness with only a few people. He also throws shade at Maxwell with the chess statues saying he just leaves them everywhere)
He sometimes does things just for the vibe (He says that he likes dust because it feels scholarly with the feather duster)
The biggest reason he's still hostile to Maxwell is because he used him to free himself (He canonically gets Maxwell off the throne. The stage plays implies it was an accident. He's probably aware that he could've ended up like Maxwell if left on the throne for too long and that Maxwell intentionally led him there. It's also implied by the stage plays that the survivors were made to suffer just for Maxwell's own amusement. He also tries to throw hands as soon as he sees Maxwell again.)
He has an accent he's learned to hide (He's supposed to be some sort of European immigrant and even the ones that speak English don't have the same accent as Americans. Even though he's been voice acted twice, both possibly not canon, neither have accents. Immigrants aren't really treated well in America, even back then, so he also has a reason to hide it. Also, Maxwell is canonically British and even he doesn't have an accent in Inevitable)
He likes breakfast food in general (It's easy/cheap to make and he sucks at cooking. Also his favorite food is eggs and bacon in game)
All of these are kinda obvious now that I think about it
An amazing artwork, as always
Do i look good?
