The Little Bubble Ask - Tumblr Posts

I just noticed that Ando's only 10% sheep, what happened to him to only be 10%?

To answer this question, I have to ask another question: do the cult followers remain 100% of their species when resurrected?

The simple answer should be no, since in most cases the lamb uses bones that are collected during his crusades or bones that his followers themselves bring during their missionary journeys.

Of course, I'm talking about cases where a follower died outside of the cult and, for reasons A or B, their body couldn't be brought back, so this is where bones from other species would be used to bring them back to life.

But for some reason, these are still considered 100% of the same species (whether cat, cow, dog or something else), demonstrating that no matter what, the living being remains as before death without being affected or physically altered by the unknown bones that were used during their resurrection.

Thinking more deeply about this point, and how I see it, there must be some kind of requirement, such as perhaps that to carry out this type of ritual successfully there must be at least one bone of the same species as the deceased follower.

Whether it's theirs or someone else's.

Although this is more of a headcanon of mine, I think it works for what I'm trying to explain here.

So, returning to your question, it is not that Ando had something happen to him physically speaking that made him less of a sheep; it is that the process that his body had to go through had certain complications that the lamb had to overcome on its own.

You can imagine how (ouo)

So what happen when ando finds out their sibling is running an cult and is also an immortal god?

Two questions in one, okay! 6(owo)9

I feel that both should be raised separately and that they are things that I plan to address in some way in future drawings, but it won't hurt to answer at least a little bit of what I have in mind (ouo)

What will happen when Ando discovers that his brother runs a cult?

Possibly, Ando will go into denial. Why? Well, I have done my homework to get an idea of how a family reacts when a member joins a cult. The cases are varied, but what I have realized is that the family's reactions are somewhat similar to the 5 phases of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

So for Ando, a sheep whose time has stopped and started running again, it will have felt like closing his eyes and opening them, watching, to his horror, as his younger brother has been completely brainwashed. Ando knows him best and knows that he would never be in a situation like this unless he were deceived from the beginning. So his first idea would be to run away. Run far away from here.

Later, I will show how that turned out.

As for the other question...

What will happen when Ando discovers that his brother is an immortal god?

This is somewhat complex because, to begin with, the lamb would have to admit it, which it will not do. For the lamb, Ando's return has awakened in him memories that he thought were forgotten and old behaviors that only surface around him, as if he were returning to his old self, so he is happy and comfortable with his new situation.

Situation that does not intend to change.

So at the moment, he does not intend to tell him the truth, or at least the truth that he has been told.

Do you have any more material (art or stories) about your oc Ando?

Yes and yes I have some stories and little arcs that I did with Ando in the middle, some related to his integration into the cult, his amnesia regarding his death, his development regarding his new interpersonal relationships (like with the bishops, hehe), as well as his understanding and acceptance of what his brother now is to this world...

In my notes

As for drawings, I have some more silly comics related to his daily life and/or silly events that happen to him in the cult, although these are still in sketches or in my notebook. As I mentioned, I think here?

But that I have things about Ando, yes, yes, I do (ouo)

Are you willing to share more info about Ando? Or are you saving it for a comic/story?

Currently, yes, I am saving certain information for some drawings, but I can make some exceptions (owo)

Because I never know what they are going to ask me, hehe

So you can ask me about him if you want; I'll be happy to answer (ouo)

Does Ando have any hobbies?

You got me thinking, but I'd say yes... although I don't know if it would be considered a hobby.

Ando had this habit of having to keep his hands busy; it only happened when he was restless or nervous. So during those moments, Ando would start playing with the threads of his clothes or with those of his own wool, making balls with them. He unraveled and spun them over and over again.

Although previously, before the sheep hunting situation reached his home, Ando liked to play the guitar. A small, old guitar was inherited from his father. He played the chords clumsily and out of tune, producing notes that managed to scare away birds or any animal inadvertently. Luckily for him, he managed to improve over time.

Ando lost this last hobby over the years; things had changed so much for him that by the time he finally had the opportunity to play the instrument again, he burst into tears.

Since the mere fact of playing the instrument made him remember his father, who at that time in his life, was no longer with them.

What was the dynamic between the lamb and ando growing up? Did one tease the other etc?

Their dynamic sometimes jumped from a young boy trying to overprotect his restless younger brother to two brothers who horned each other or fought unevenly in order to sharpen their horns in meaningless combat where Ando usually won.

I should mention that there was a 13-year-old age difference between Ando and the lamb, so yes, those little fights were not fair at all. Especially for the lamb.

Although that could change nowadays, considering that the strength of the lamb has increased since then (ouo)

But overall, it was just Ando trying to make him and his brother survive.

Hi I'm here to ask a question in regards of Ando. I noticed in your recent pic of them the lamb gave him a golden necklace presumably. How does Ando feel about having immortality given (or forced) on him?

Also as another side question. (You don't have to answer this one if you dont want to) what would the lamb do if someone tried to hurt or kill their brother (or if their brother tried to harm themselves in a dark senerio).

I'll answer the first question according to where we are in the story shown so far, which is where Ando is introduced to the cult and begins to seriously wonder where the heck he and his brother are.

With that clear, I would say that the only thing Ando thought was that this necklace was extremely expensive, due to the fact that it is made of gold. So he would feel that he couldn't use anything so valuable in such a careless manner.

Although before wanting to return the necklace, his brother would assure him with a smile that this was simply a gift that is customary to give in this place.

A gift that is only given to siblings.

So Ando, trusting his word and considering the value that the necklace given to him must have, wouldn't ask anything else.

As for knowing if this necklace gives him immortality, he wouldn't find out about that until a long time later.

This is because currently in the cult there are few people who have this type of necklace, and luckily for the lamb, they are not kind enough to reveal something so obvious to our clueless Ando.

Well, at least for now.

As for the second question, possibly the lamb would give a difficult time to those who dare to touch his family member; after everything he did to bring him back, he would not leave the aggressors alone.

As for the scenario where Ando would want to harm himself, let's say that, even though the lamb hates seeing others harm him, as long as it is his brother's will, the lamb would not interfere.

After all… he made sure that Ando could never give up on life.

Even if he decided to give it up.

How does Ando feel about the other cult members. Does he have any he likes or dislikes?

Speaking from a general perspective, Ando feels that most of the cult members are quite kind to him, although he also senses some displeasure towards him from some of the younger members. Maybe because they see him as a fake who claims to be a sheep but who does not preach the word of the lamb. But apart from that, he feels that they are good people who received the opportunity to live a new life thanks to his younger brother, so at least on the surface, he gets along relatively well with them.

Although the lamb disagrees a little with the idea that all its members are “good people”.

As for whether Ando likes any or not, that falls a bit into the spoilers area, but I would say yes. Ando will have someone he will like and someone he will fear.

I think I don't have to hide who that last one would be (ouo)

Why did the lamb specifically choose to revive Ando out of all its other family members and why in particular was the drive so strong that he'd go out of his way to both spend x amount of years to revive them and also ensure they never die again?

We enter spolieeers!!!

But hey, I got excited about this question, so I'll answer it (ouo)

I'll leave out a couple things though, okay?

The lamb did not have to choose anyone; of all his blood relatives, he only had Ando. And in his head, the others didn't matter.

That makes him sound like someone very cold towards others, but one has to understand that over the years, the lamb no longer felt the same way about the people who once helped him survive. To him, the others were now only vague memories of a past life.

With the exception of Ando.

Although, for a long period of time, Ando was also just a blurry face of a memory repressed deep in his head. A nostalgic voice that the lamb only remembered in his most depressing moments.

This was due to Narinder.

I won't go into details, but there was a moment during his confrontation with Shamura that the lamb finally strongly remembered his older brother.

And he felt as if he had abandoned his familiar for years and years of arduous service to a deity who… ¿meant everything to him?

¿Do you understand where I'm going?

As for why the lamb made sure Ando couldn't die again, that's something I'd like to explore in another post.

So for now, this is all I can share.

But thank you for asking (ouo)/

Is Ando aware of how long he's been dead for? Does he miss his previous life/family members? Does he have any recollection of what it's like to dead/the afterlife?

Sorry for all the questions I'm just super curious.

It's okay (ouo)

I'm happy to answer, but I think I'm going to have to leave out some things because some of the answers to your questions are things that I want to see separately in future posts.

So if you're okay with that, here I go...

¿Is Ando aware of how long he's been dead?

Like a newly resurrected person, Ando felt the shock of time as soon as he was aware of where he was, who he was with, and how vulnerable he felt at that moment (by "vulnerable,” I mean naked, okay?). But he still isn't aware of how long he's been dead or why his brother is so insistent on his company when he previously remembered him as more independent.

Eventually, he will find out.

¿Does he miss his previous life/family members?

As strange as it may seem, Ando does feel a certain nostalgia for his previous life. However, it is not as if he wanted to continue trying to reach the sea, exposing his life alongside a group that, although it helped him with his survival, could also have easily abandoned them to him and his brother at the slightest feeling of uselessness.

It's just that Ando, like a sheep who has done everything to prove useful in the most extreme situations, would feel somewhat displaced when he finds himself in this new situation where his "usefulness" is not so necessary. He would see how his younger brother is more proactive, leading a group of different species that move and work in almost family harmony. And while he would also seek to help, he would always have “that something” that made him feel out of place.

So yes, he would miss his previous life a little, where he at least felt useful.

As for his family… that will be a story I will tell another day.

¿Does he have any recollection of what it's like to dead/the afterlife?

I will see this at some point in a future publication, but what I can say is that just as Ando does not have any memory of his death, this one would not have any memory related to the afterlife either.

Besides… it's possible that he didn't even get to be there.

Although I think I already answered too much with that last one. Hehehe.

Anyway, that would be all I could say, at least so far (owo)

¡Thanks for asking!

Do you have any pics/sketches of pre death Ando and Lamb?

I think it would be cute just to an older ando with his baby brother just trying to survive.

Your fic has brought this desire out of me.

¿How did you guess? (ovo)

Here's a quick sketch I made when I had a simple idea. I might finish it, but we'll have to see.

I'm also glad that you liked my little fic. Thank you very much (>w<)/

Will Ando ever get with anybody in the cult (or outside). Also how does he feel about his brother and naridener being an item.

Yes.

This is a bit of a silly what if question,

But what it be like if ando and the lamb swapped roles (whether it be as an au (where like ando became a cult leader and the lamb died) or if they just randomly decided to swap each other clothing for a day as a joke).

I'm surprised and happy to receive this question (OwO)

Lucky for you, I'm two steps ahead of you (>v<)/

By February of this year, I had already started thinking about what would happen if my two sheep swapped places. I even gave it the name “The Hard Way,” where Ando is forced to wear the red crown after refusing to be the lamb of the prophecy, imposed by The One Who Waits, upon understanding that everything he suffered was due to a family dispute.

This begins a hate relationship between Ando and The One Who Waits, with the obvious ending that he would betray him for denying him the eternal rest that his soul longed for. There was no subtlety here, and Narinder knew that.

Therefore, he was ready.

And still, he lost.

This AU is a bit sad, as Ando got so lost in his anger that when he gained control, he found himself at a dead end, unable to die as it was now death itself, and with the awareness that to give up the crown, he would have to choose another candidate and he... was not willing to impose this responsibility on anyone.

So he eventually went crazy and ended up destroying his world, giving in to the delirium that only then he could rest.

That ending was based almost entirely on my playthrough, where I decided to play as Ando in hard mode and encountered a new type of difficulty that changed the way I play and manage the cult. ¿The result?

I got a morally dubious and emotionally stunted Ando, whose interpersonal relationships ranged from his first husband, whom he cheated on twice (not intentionally), his beloved little brother (who hooked up with half a bishop XD), and a punching bag (Narinder), who dared to tell him that he loved him in front of his first husband. Obviously, on purpose.

So…yeah.

I may have thought a little about “¿What if…?”, with my lamb and Ando swapping roles XP

As for exchanging clothes <(ouo)>

I feel like the lamb could get away with that joke if Ando was willing to swap his clothes because, as you can imagine, he's too embarrassed to wear just the fleece XD

Although I think I could draw that, ¡thanks for the idea!

Hello!

Firstly, I’d like to start by saying I love your art and I will definitely check out your fics.

Secondly, I’m extremely curious about something I saw in your post in IG. It said that Nando was 10% lamb (or was it sheep? I’m not sure, I’m sorry).

This brings me to my questions, what do you mean he’s only 10%? Could it be that he’s mixed? Or is he mixed? (As of “half-animal/half-spiritual something).

That is all :)! Thank you for bringing light to the fandom, it is such an awesome experience to have talented people like you in this growing community.

Otra cosa, por alguna razón cada vez que veo al cordero y a Ando lo primero que se me viene a la cabeza es “¡Hola, somos los hermanos Arturos!”. HAHAHAHAHA perdón si es bien random.

¡Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding, life has me busy XD

First of all, thank you very much. I'm glad to know that there are people who like my drawings (ouo)/ ¡They make my day!

Although I think I'll disappoint you with the fics, I don't write very often, and what I have is more Invader Zim than anything else. Oops XP

Secondly, welcome to my Tumblr; not many of my IG come here that I know of <(ovo)>

As for your question, you're in luck; someone asked something similar right here –(^u^)/

¡Thank you for asking and for your nice words!

I'm shy, so I don't know what else to say, but again, ¡thank you! (>w<)

Sí, es un poco random. Jeje no entendí la referencia XD

How would ando deal with the existencal horror of his brother never ever letting him die?

¡A question related to one of the central points of the AU! (OoO)

Happy and conflicted because answering your question would be a kind of spoiler, but maybe I can answer part of it in a different way (ouo)/

¡Here it goes!~

As I mentioned before, Ando is still not aware of what his brother did to him to bring him back, and even less that his brother has him tied to life for "a reason" that I have yet to draw <(ouo)>

(That also includes how Ando would react to knowing this, sorry.)

But what I can say is that whatever the lamb has done will have consequences.

Both for him and for Ando.

At some point, I will talk more about this, but for now, this is all (owo)

¡Thanks for asking, and sorry for the wait! (>//<)/

will there be Leshycat?

That was the idea... but you see...

To help me with the personality of my followers, I decided to base it on the behaviors that I have seen in my first cult. I have a select group of whom I want to star in some things, but getting back to the topic, I added my first yellow cat among them.

And bless that cat—he turned into a flirt.

He made out with almost all of my followers with long-life necklaces, focusing almost specifically on my two strongest followers up to that point: my right-hand man (the loyalty enforcer) and my best friend (the tax enforcer).

All of this happened while my yellow cat was a newcomer.

I was amazed, and thanks to that, his personality was defined this way:

He is an opportunist who is motivated by interest and uses his charms to get what he wants. However, he is no fool and will not push at the risk of his own safety.

So, taking this into account, I think that if something were to happen between my yellow cat and Leshy, it would be more because the yellow cat himself wanted it that way.

But for now, I would say they are just "friends”.

Although, yes, I would love for them to be lovers.

I know this has absolutely no chance of ever happening in your main au but like in another universe would Ando and the Goat ever have a chance of becoming an item?

Hey, you reminded me of an idea I already had XD

I wouldn't say they would become "something,” but I wouldn't say there wouldn't be interest on the goat's part either.

Although the idea would not fascinate my lamb so much (owo)

Just saying, haha.

¡Thanks for asking!

Do you have anymore lore for your au?

Assuming you're asking about The Little Bubble AU...

The answer is yes (ouo)

I have some things accumulated and ideas that need to be refined, although I'm already telling you that the order of events or data related to the main AU canon will not be a priority.

That means I can start posting scenes from the past before those from the present, and vice versa.

At the moment, I'm working on something related to the main lore of The Little Bubble AU.

A little story starring the lamb, but that's all I can say about it (ovo)

Given that I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise...

So, wait for it (OuU)/

Does Ando ever get a spouse in the main AU?

At the moment there are no marriage plans for Ando, but I might consider it…

Although what I can confirm is that he will have a small "crush" with someone from the cult (owo)

Hey so, first, ur art is beautifull!

Also I love your Narilamb dynamic, its like, everytime I see it I feel my heart melt for the extreme sweetness of it.

And the second thing, if it isnt something that you are waiting to reveal… Could you give us some details about how are the relations in the cult? Like how does Ando reacia to his (Official?) brother in law, and the same with Narinder and the bishops.

I cant wait to see how this history develops!

First of all...

Aweawae thanks (QwQ)

I like knowing that people like my art, so thank you very much (>\\<)

It also makes me happy to know that you like my Narilamb dynamic. I've noticed that a lot of people like cuteness, so... I'll continue with that along with its due doses of comedy (UuU)/

And maybe anguish... when I know how to do it well...

Secondly.

That is precisely one of the things I want to present separately. I am referring to the interactions that Ando has with the rest of the cult, more specifically with the closest followers of the Lamb.

Although I think I mentioned something about it here.

So there is already an idea for that, one that I need to polish before I can share it with you (ouo)

As for Narinder and the bishops… that is also something I want to deal with separately.

What I can say right now is that this AU focuses more on the theme of family and friendship; there is love, of course, but not from who you imagine.

At least not yet.

As for Ando, well, he may end up discovering a thing or two as he is allowed to interact with more people. Whether inside or outside the cult.

But apart from that…

I would like to mention that this story will also be told from the lamb's point of view, as I want to show both the life he previously had through Ando as well as the life that led him to bring him back.

I hope I have answered you well and once again...

¡Thanks for asking! (^u^)/
