Why do i get so depressed whenever I like a new character or piece of media? Lmao

Speaking of moral greyness in Elden Ring, I really want to do more research into what was wrong with Seluvis.

I like how Mohg is still the most controversial character even with the Ranni simps, Rykard, Marika, the Radahn vs Malenia thing and now the introduction of Messmer

I just can’t believe Elden Ring twt is still ripping itself to shreds over whether Miquella is evil and Mohg is good.

I feel like an insane person looking at the source media, then at the fandom, then back at the source media, then back again like “what are you people talking about???”

Source Media: Hello, welcome to a world where everything has been corrupted. In every square meter of this vast open world, you will find the theme of corruption. This is gonna sound crazy, bear with me, but you are called the Tarnished. As in “tarnished gold,” as in “tarnished with impurities.” On this tour, I’ll show you a divine tree that, my god would you look at that, is blackened with impurities. To your right is an entire region that was once beautiful that is literally rotting. To your left you will find the Concept of Life and Death™️ which, wouldn’t you know it, is corrupted. By the way, there are these ancient demigods who have all been so grotesquely distorted by impurities that they’ve become literal monsters that will kill you on sight.

Fandom: ok but that character is actually good tho

Source media: …vibrates thematically

I just don’t get how it’s even a debate 😭 I’m losing my mind. Of course Miquella isn’t good. He’s just as corrupted as quite literally everything else in the entire game, just in his own unique way. That’s the whole tragedy of it, that’s why this genre is DARK fantasy. In context, thinking he could potentially be good is just nonsensical.

BUT in the same vein, nothing is evil either. Corruption means that there was something there to corrupt. It means there was good to begin with. We see traces of that everywhere, too. If not good, then at least “pure” in the naturalistic sense. Which means that Mohg also is not evil.

It’s just. So very. Obviously. Clearly. Gray. We’re not supposed to even question if there’s genuine goodness going on, are we???

Wow I never thought I'd see people aggressively going after Ansbach now, just because they can't dig up enough shit on Mohg lmao. Nearly everyone knows Mohg is kinda crazy and obviously blood thirsty, that has nothing to do with Miquella’s actions. Mohg was stated to have abducted and experimented on the War Surgeons and a merchant for some reason, and corrupted plenty of Tarnished. Just as the game made it quite explicit that Miquella has charmed MANY people, and that, yes, his charm "compels love". WAY before the dlc...Do I believe Mohg’s romantic attraction specifically was caused by Miquella? No. I believe that's a Mohg thing, or Mohg is just a remnant of some cut disturbing lore. The obsessive and serving attitude? Yes. That is literally a part of Miquella’s bewitchment. There's a reason the prattling pate "My beloved" is found in the Haligtree, because despite love being "fickle" in the Lands Between, love for Miquella is very common.

"The Empyrean Miquella is loved by many people".

The dlc actually seemed to tone down the obsessive behavior for Miquella by his charmed subjects ironically lol, more so putting them in a passive sedation with their goals still partially intact (unless it affects his own, like Thiollier and Ansbach. Hornsent still remembers his hatred for Messmer etc.) rather than 24/7 guarding a single Miquella’s Lilly with their life and blowing themselves up in desperation, hoping for his return.

"Spirits of common soldiers who carry the sacred light. When weakened, they explode to deliver a last-ditch attack. This was the bitter revelation discovered by the desperate soldiers who awaited the return of their lord to the rotted Haligtree. May the flash of our deaths guide Miquella's return."

I agree the whole "Miquella is literally Griffith, Miquella is more evil than Marika, Miquella is literally Satan" stuff is dumb, but he isn't some defenseless 'damsel in distress' either. (That might be Godrick /jk)

We all know that Miquella can use powerful holy incantations due to the dlc, but a cut item seems to suggest he had that power far before his attempted ascension.

From Sekiro Dubi on X/Twitter -

Miquella has power beyond his charming abilities, he literally obtained/learned these types of incantations from Radagon.

"One of the incantations of the Golden Order fundamentalists. Produces three rings of light and fires them forwards. The rings of light return to a position close to the caster before disappearing. This incantation can be cast repeatedly. A gift from the young Miquella to his father, Radagon."

Miquella is not weak and helpless, he only appears to be due to his curse. He's literally called "the most fearsome Empyrean" for a reason.

Ansbach has nothing to do with anything, I could have easily deduced that Miquella was brainwashing people far before the dlc, the evidence is right there in the base game. Just like somehow some ppl are shocked to find out that Trina is a part of Miquella and think the dlc added that in too. It was all there from the beginning.

Speaking of that, why does no one find Thiollier's obsessive love for Trina odd too? She's part of Miquella.

"Silver sword carried by clerics of St. Trina. Inflicts sleep ailment upon foes.St. Trina is an enigmatic figure. Some say she is a comely young girl, others are sure he is a boy. The only certainty is that their appearance was as sudden as their disappearance."

"A talisman depicting a smiling St. Trina, a vision conjured deep within a certain man's heart. Raises attack power when sleep is triggered in the vicinity. 'Only I am allowed to know. Of your velvety sleep. Its sweetly gentle embrace. So please, smile—for me, and only me.'"

Certain man is Thioller obviously.

Unrelated but I wonder if the description on the Torch was suggesting what may have happened to Trina had she ascended along with Miquella.

"Candlestand torch that burns with a light-purple flame. The carvings depict St. Trina, but in adult form, somewhat unnervingly.

The light-purple flame induces sleep"

My greatest achievement of 2024: beating pre-nerf Consort Radahn without summons or armor--melee-only.

Happy New Year! <3
