The Goat and the Lamb aren't opposites, but parallels. Meaning they most likely share more traits than not. But their differences, I suspect, lie in the thematic contrast between sheep and goats.
Sheep by nature are submissive and passive. In contrast, Goat's by nature are dominant and stubborn.
Lamb's whole thing is that they defy their nature. They didn't want to be sacrificed. They fight back instead of doing what literally everyone expects them to: sit pretty and lay down their life just because TOWW told them to.
But for Goat to defy their nature, it would have to be the opposite. It would mean Goat rolled over and took it when everyone expected them to rebel. To be a sacrificial lamb is an honor, to be a sacrificial goat (scapegoat)is a disgrace. Lamb rejected that honor and Goat presumably embraced that disgrace.
Lamb is very gentle and sweet... to their Followers. They put on a show of being a passive, kind lamb almost to an excessive extent sometimes (like how they let Midas rob them). But the submission is an act. We actually see the act drop briefly during the Fashion short when a follower puts on the Old Faith garb.
So on the flip side, we see Goat in the latest short being abrasive and mischievous. They take every chance they can to challenge or disrupt Lamb. They are, in fact, over compensating with that giant fishing pole. Because their dominance is an act.
All that to say, The Goat is fundamentally a brat.
Hello, and welcome to my Ted Talk— *gunshot*
I’m considering putting out a trilogy on here born from an idea I put in a journal forever ago covering some gothic tales about witches and their familiars. I still need to finish the stories but expect them to come up soon.
It’s very much a WIP cuz I don’t even have a title yet 😂
Time to do some more witch research and gothic tales research!
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
I’m sitting outside in the heat so my tears can evaporate faster
Dangerous to let me crash out alone cuz I’ve already done 10 different impulsive things while you were gone

Hey btw, here's a piece of life advice:
If you know what you'd have to do to solve a problem, but you just don't want to do it, your main problem isn't the problem itself. Your problem is figuring out how to get yourself to do the solution.
If your problem is not eating enough vegetables, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make vegetables stop being yucky". If your problem is not getting enough exercise, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make exercise stop sucking ass". You're not supposed to just be doing things that are awful and suck all the time forever, you're supposed to figure out how to make it stop being so awful all the time.
I used to hate wearing sunscreen because it's sticky and slimy and disgusting and it feels bad and it smells bad, so I neglected to wear it even if I needed to. Then I found one that isn't like that, and doesn't smell and feel gross. Problem solved.
There is no correct way to live that's just supposed to suck and feel bad all the time. You're allowed to figure out how to make it not suck so bad.
I relate to the waiting character trope for example Spinel or Narinder. Can’t think of any other examples rn but those two hit hard.
They also got big teary eyes.
I think I’m kinda doing the Hokey Pokey with relationships and it’s all fuxked. Can’t keep my head straight on
