Bits and pieces of the still incredibly written backstory of Elden Ring continue to poke out from the dogwater, as it were.

St. Trina, as we learn, was a specific aspect of Miquella that was made separate: In Miquella's words, St Trina was the embodiment of his 'love.' And when he abandoned St Trina, he abandoned that aspect of himself that made her.

This newly introduced example reveals to us what the nature of Radagon's exactly was, in turn.

Radagon, the 'other half' of Marika in the exact same way that St Trina had been for Miquella, we learn here, had *himself* been a specific singular aspect of Marika's emotions or feelings.

With St Trina having been made out of Miquella's 'love.'

You wonder, too, what Radagon should have been made from.

What aspect of herself did Marika separate into her second person, as called by her the "Loyal Dog of the Golden Order"? We know Radagon was created prior to the creation of the Golden Order itself, since he was involved in the invasion of Liurnia.

So at the same time as Marika was married to Godfrey, begetting Godwyn and Mogh and Morgott. Radagon was married to Renalla, begetting Rykard and Radahn and raising the potential successor of Marika--the Empyrean Ranni. He was given a massive amount of responsibility, the seeming crux of the Liurnian-Leyndell alliance that ended the Liurnian Wars that Marika's empire was losing, and he by every account was completely dedicated and successful; even weakening the strength of the Carian royal family by reducing their practicing of astrology.

All yet, when push came to shove: After Godwyn was assassinated and Marika sought to destroy the Elden Ring. It was Radagon who dropped everything he had and stepped in to stop her.

"Proudly" as his Golden Order Greatsword says,

Radagon divorced his first wife, married his 'original self,' begettedthe Twin Prodigies Miquella and Malenia as two more potential successors to Queen Marika, set up the brutal inquisition and censorship of the Age of Radagon headed by his own son Rykard, and was even involved with the very the development of Golden Order fundamentalism!

Radagon did so much fucking stuff! He was so damn proactive! So what exactly must he have been!?

That Marika initially separated from herself? And who went on to try and stop her very own plans when they turned against the wishes of the Greater Will??

This conflicting 'half' of her original person! That nonetheless was all this strongly willed on his own!?

What part of Marika COULD Radagon have originally been!?!?!?

And it's awesome. It's really really well-designed writing.

Frankly, even, it's genius. It's not anything revolutionary in terms of narrative devices or anything like that, but it's really elegant. It's really meaningful and concise, and it's really cool!!!

A lot of Elden Ring's base game is, or now maybe--was. (It having been the basis of my entire show on YouTube.)

But the actual story, instead of solely the backstory, of the DLC, unfortunately, is not!

You ever seen a boss item whose entire description was literally entirely the game just fucking QUOTING ITSELF?

Hyetta at Frenzied Flame Proscription: "Become their lord. Take their torment, despair. Their affliction. Every sin, every curse. And melt it all away. As the Lord of Chaos."

Ghost outside Church of Inhibition in Liurnia: "Ahh, Lord Vyke, it seems that you were no lord, after all."

Midras's Flame of Frenzy, from killing Midras, Lord of Frenzied Flame:

Or! Better yet, ANOTHER boss spell, whose entire description is dedicated to literally just acknowledging its fucking colour!!

Land of Shadows, from killing the Scadutree Avatar:

I definitely sure wish I still hadn't!!

In fact, I don't think the level of vacuousness from Shadow of the Erdtree's descriptions has ever been seen before!

Not even in Dark Souls 3!!

AUGH

The Gig

After getting ready, Constantine heads to the venue, greeting his bandmates backstage and pulling out the stash of bottles @circus-champion left. He gifts two bottles away to the two musicians he plays with, and leaves three more for the set-up and tear-down crew to share. The remaining five are sent to his flat, placed upon one of his bar's shelves. The trio begin to riff together, just warming up backstage while ticketholders are let into the main part of the venue. @morningstarscratch @kyle-the-artistic-one @crimsonknightly

rotating in my head failmarriage anidala au where things are arranged the way that anakin doesn't fall to the dark side and kills palpatine thus he finally gains the trust of the jedi council and generally celebrated in the order. but padme gives birth before leaving for naboo and the twins end up being taken to the jedi order (probably yoda doing ngl💀). and once babies are in you can't get them out no matter what. so anakin has no choice but stay in the order to secretly look after his kids meanwhile padme is losing her mind😔 all their plans for the happy future are ruined. but they still love each other and work together as a team tho that tragedy caused a big unrepairable rift in their previously harmonious relationship. anakin takes one of the twins as his padawan. obiwan one day looks at 9yo luke realization dawning on him and he stops talking to anakin for months (until he gaslighted himself he made everything up probably lol). both anakin and padme work to gain political influence during those years and end up as power couple with padme as chancellor and anakin as the next grand master after yoda died.

Hello, yes. So this is the bitch who's been continually harassing people on here, including @ziminiysoldat and now me. They think it's funny to reblog rp related things like 50 times in a row with the most unhinged tags. They also love sending people weird ass IM's about non-consensual swaddling (what even is that? is it a kink? idk man). They've got a bunch of blogs they use for this bs which they then abandon or delete.

Idk if they're some kind of weird insane bot or someone who urgently needs a fucking shrink, but anyway, say hi y'all! I fucking see you. And I'm warning you: I will dedicate every spare minute I have to do to you what you've been doing to my friend if I have to.

so… i did a thing! 🤭

i wrote my first character on c.ai for wanderer! you can chat with him HERE as you travel to fontaine! <3

he is entirely based upon his canon personality and some of my fics! my wanderer ai is currently unlisted bc i’ll probably tweak his code as needed. i’d love your feedback on him!! it’s hard to strike the right balance with his character.

the ai will be available only for a few days before it’s private again. once he’s ready, i will post him publicly! :)

The thing about Nesta giving Bryce the mask is that she knew the consequences and did it anyway. And she stood ten toes down on that decision to save people on another planet and that’s why I love her.

[bigskydreaming]

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.

And it was then that Yin Yu finally understood with the force of a slap that it wasn't Yizhen who was a shackle around his neck. Much less was it love. Instead, it was his fears. His own darkest, ugliest thoughts and beliefs about himself, given form. That was the true shackle around his neck, the poison-tipped arrow lodged deeply inside his heart.

[The two of you walk into the hospital with masks on and what seem to be some sort of hasmat overalls provided by the hospital. Star approaches the front desk and clears their throat]

Hello! We're here to see... um, a couple of people actually, they're in a group really... There's Mia, and Niki, and Sneeg and Ethan an-

[The receptionist types on his computer and looks up]

"And what's your names?"

[This... throws Star off a bit. They tap their hand against the counter as they seem to be in thought]

... Aster. Aster Moore. But these guys'd know me better as "Star". And this is... um.

[They look at MT, suddenly incredibly aware they don't actually know their name. It shows clearly in their face, awkward and anxious as it is]

-💫

[Mousetrap hangs back a few steps while Star answers the questions. When it looks at them, they wince and step forward. They hesitate for several seconds, opening their mouth and faltering three times before they get words out.]

I- um, can- is it al-right if I... write it down?

[They cringe slightly even as they say it. They know how strange of a request it is, and they do not entirely expect it to be accepted. But they have to try.]
