::HeadCanon time for Malenia rq::

Because of her rot, she loses some of her hair a lot more than a more ‘normal person’ would, it’s not making her go bald by any means just yet but it’s noticeable with some smaller and different patches missing.

About Fischl: Fighting Style

Verse || Honkai: Star Rail

tl;dr: Fischl has a dirty close-quarters fighting style that focuses on aggression over defense, that can transition into a snowball of overwhelming power focused on simply overwhelming her opponents with a relentless high-power onslaught.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Fischl is no emanator-level combatant by any measures - but she is also far from a pushover of any description. Even with her bare hands, Fischl can be considered a lethal weapon on merit of her training.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Under the training from Kevin and Hua, Fischl learned a number of different combat styles and techniques. There is some merit of her style that comes through raw power in her techniques, a necessary mirror to how absurdly strong Kevin was.

⠀⠀⠀⠀On a most basic level, Fischl is a lethal hand-to-hand combatant. Her synthetic arms are tuned to provide a great deal of physical strength to her, supporting her various martial arts styles that she learned from Hua. In current day, these are Fischl's favorite combat styles and techniques - using the numerous different techniques and styles learned from Hua and adapting them to the powers she has.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Greatswords are Fischl's next best weapon, having used Shamash in both handgun and greastsword format for an extensive period of her life. To her, the weight of that weapon in her hands is the most comfortable for use, but is by far the least comfortable for her psyche - as such, she often distances herself from great weapons because of her past.

⠀⠀⠀⠀As for current, her favored weapon is a longsword/katana format - using primarily Seven Thunders of Retribution, the Divine Key in her possession. However, she will opt to avoid using this weapon in any of its forms if that can be avoided. In general she prefers not to have it be widely known that she is in possession of a weapon as powerful as it is, and will go to some notable lengths to stop that sort of information from getting out if she can.

⠀⠀⠀⠀In most fights, Fischl will opt for fighting hand-to-hand, and using her lightning/electro to empower her attacks, channeling it through the framework of her arms. As things escalate, she will switch to more aggressive combat tactics - prone to letting her arms take damage due to their durability and resilience, resulting in her being more battered from more grueling fights as a consequence of her fighting style.

⠀⠀⠀⠀When Fischl is forced to use her Divine Key, she will be in her most aggressive combat stance, using the weapon to its fullest potential without using any of it's full powers. Even when forced to use the weapon, she prefers to keep its potential under wraps, since the First and Zeroth powers of Divine Keys are in a different league of power.

In general when in this stance, she can be considered on a level of aggression as a boss like the modded Elden Ring Boss fight: Unalloyed Malenia.

Malardia, Blade of McDonald’s she has never seen her feet

"Huff... I've seen my feet... Just been a while..." Malenia huffed sitting on a throne resting her feet and rubbing her bloated aching body. Her gut churning, and bubbling, rolling like thunder as she tried desperately to paw and stroke her pale rot filled paunch. The scarlet gas brewing inside her was highly toxic and her chamber had to be air tight to prevent her from poisoning others. A bowl of preserving Boluses sat on a small table at her side which she'd routinely reach into plucking the medicine out one by one and shoveling them into her fattened gullet.

"It seems putting off my transformation has taken a tole on my body." She sighed as the feeling of constant nagging for release grew stronger. She'd have to hold out, until her brother's work was done...

What if Messmer is the aspect of Miquella who rejected everything about the Golden Order so strongly fused with some remnant offshoot of Malenia that sprung from one of her bloom(s) to ascend to godhood Femto style. Like wouldn't that be fucked up or what.

[utsuboh]

sitting here at 1 am thinking about the good ol days when i wrote fucked up bloodborne and dark souls muses.

[runeofgold]

Fuck it!! Guest star Muse Malenia today!

(Targeting Malenia simps.. And my favorite invader 😈)

Interactions are welcome!! But can also be treated as a mini-fic.. Less go!!!!

----

You arrive at the Haligtree roots. This place was.. Vast. And not very fun, to be honest. Well, to sane people, it wouldn't be fun. But your not sane!

She sits in a chair, ahead of you. Malenia, the legend herself. Blade of Miquella, and Goddess of Scarlet Rot.. The only one who managed to defeat Radahn in the Shattering.

Now.. She just sits here. Resting against the roots of this great-tree. The Haligtree was meant to be a sanctuary.. A safe place for Misbegotten, those rejected by the Golden Order.

But.. With Miquella being stolen away by some winged fiend, what is it now, anymore?

Quietly and ever so nervously, you approach her. What will she do? Is.. She.. Sleeping?

Her breath comes soft, as you get close to her. You study her. Her legs, are prosthetic. She lacks eyes, long taken by the scarlet rot. It.. Makes you sad. She's still so beautiful, but you can see how the years affected her.

You reach out, to touch her. And suddenly, as fast as the crack of a whip, she has your wrist. And her grip is firm, as if she is wielding you as her sword.

"Who.. Goes there.."

She says, her voice as clear as a spring day. Her grip on your wrist tightens, and your not sure if your scared or aroused. Probably both.. If you've reached Malenia.

You say your name, and who you are, and she seems.. Displeased. She lets go of your wrist, her arm lowers slowly, for her hand to brace the arm of the seat which she sat upon. She rises, and stands tall above you.

"You.. Shouldn't be here. If you know who I am, what I've done.. You would know better and leave immidietly.. For your own sake."

She says, picking up her prosthetic, and clicking her metal arm into place. There's a crack that goes along with it- which sounds painful, but she must be used to it. It's how the arm must work, connecting into bone through her flesh..

She dons her helmet, and crosses her arms. She can't see you, but she senses you. The next words out of your awe struck mouth.. Surprise her.

"Hm?.... What did you just say?"

'Your.. Beautiful.'

She pauses, lips parted in confusion as she has her head aimed down at you, her cheeks turn a slight pink.

"You... Think I'm.. Beautiful?"

'The most gorgeous woman I've ever laid my eyes on..'

Malenia is.. At a loss for words. She turns her head away, and shyly smiles.

"Truly?... You think I-.. Am gorgeous..?"

She can't help the little smile getting a little bigger. You take her flesh hand, marred and scarred from the scarlet rot which ate her endlessly from the inside out.. And you kneel before her, kissing the back of her hand.

'Very much so.. You are the absolute definition of beauty, such grace as yourself hasn't blessed my vision in a very long time..'

Malenia raised her prosthetic hand to her lips, to hide her evergrowing smile, her cheeks, tinging a deeper red by the moment.

"I.. Am so very complimented, you think one such as I.. Am beautiful.."

[shapecrow]

someone: i wonder what she's thinking about, she seems lost in thought

me, screaming aggressively in my head: x

[rancid-rotten-slobs]

"You show no fear as you face me... I know not if you are of the dead or the living, no matter you will rot all the same."

"Your blood is cursed, stained since the day you first drew breath. Only an honest death can heal you now..."

"We shall see..."

[dayplays]

“... this is not the Haligtree.”

No, it’s not. Don’t worry, ma’am, we’re having one plante- And she’s leaving. Shit. Still gotta keep her on the list...

“Hmm..?.” Malenia just quietly mumbled out as she heard him speaking, her blinded gaze looking at the logical direction of where she assumed he was at as she thought about an answer for the next few shortish moments or so. “Maybe it ‘invigorates’ but-…” Malenia began to say but soon-..just cut herself off mid sentence as she realized something..where did the blood even come from.?..did she even wish to know-?..ah-..her own curiosity soon just got the best of her. “..Where-..where did it even come from?..”

“I’ve got you”

//From an0ther-f00ls-muse & with my Malenia goodness of rot muse!\\

"... But who has you?" The Lord of Blood looked over his shoulder, standing tall, drenched in blood. A looming figure. Demonic.

"... The blood invigorates."

The different Interpretations/Portrayals of my Muses!! ((Be aware, this may be somewhat ‘cringe’ & ooc as I have yet to actually play the damn game & dlc yet, however I did watch a lot of lore videos, soo yeah-))

My Portrayal of ‘Malenia, Blade of Miquella’

The main points that are most important

-> My version/interpretation of my blogs ‘Malenia’ <-

-> In my interpretation I believe she has issues sleeping, this woman just doesn’t sleep that often but when she does sleep it’s for a long time nine times out of ten.

-> She has vivid dreams, that’s about it to be honest.

-> Despite being an actual warrior for her twin brother and in charge of actual soldiers this woman has some kind of social anxiety, it’s not too bad but it’s definitely still there even if it’s something small for right now.

-> She can’t maintain her tones of voice, if she’s talking in a soft tone then it will still be there at that certain tone for who knows how long, same with her other tones.

-> She’s loyal, she’s incredibly loyal- almost like something akin to a guard-dog in all honesty.

-> She can’t see for shit because of the fact she’s blind because of the rot, she however, has amazing hearing.

-> she has chronic pain on my blog, that’s about it for this point in all honesty.

->Because of when she ‘bloomed’ in her fight with ‘Radahn’ she has her own issues, she has issues with remembering some small things &/or details about things.

->:My goddess of rot Malenia:<-

-> The goddess of Rot version of Malenia is pretty different but also similar to the original version of her, so yeah.

-> Because of the new ‘wings’ she now has, she can technically fly with them but she isn’t really ‘graceful’ at it whatsoever yet, she has her moments with it but still, kinda like that awkward phase of a fledgeling and adult bird, she’s trying but still.

-> She now has a few different bigger species of butterflies flying around her nine times out of ten.

-> She’s more of a vassal for the actual outer goddess of rot the majority of time at this point.

-> She still has her phantom & chronic pains but to an extent that’s a bit more noticeable.

-> This woman still really just goes without clothes, the rot really just mostly ‘covers’ everything needed, or at it mostly does.

-> less self-preservation skills, not by a lot but it’s more noticeable then before.

[fat-slobby-gamers]

"Sigh... me thinks perhaps this conflict was for nothing..."

"Wanna take a 10 hour nap and eat cookies?"

"Honestly that doesn't sound so bad..."

[morgana-ren]

What Shigaraki wants to hear: Damn babe, that sex was definitely the best of my life and nothing will ever top it. But you know what was really hot, you explaining all of Elden Ring lore to me.

Listen, this man's idea of a good time is you under the desk, blowing him while he muses on about Dark Souls and Elden Ring lore. You will know more than Miyazaki himself by the time he's shut the fuck up. Yes, he expects it when he is on a discord call too, and he thinks he's so sneaky with his subtle innuendos to the chat. It's not like you can tell him to stop, since your mouth is a little full at the moment.

This man has his Switch under the pillow ready to go the second things are over. He's still heaving, chest sweaty and hair sticking to his forehead, rolls off of you, whips it out and immediately starts it up, while looking at you expectantly because you need to get the towel.

Yes, he does ask you to cosplay for him. Yes, it is sexual in nature.

He has to move all of his figurines because he gets a little too into it on the bed and he nearly had a breakdown when one fell. Figurines aren't cheap-- especially his big ass Malenia and Drizzt ones. Some of them are hand painted. Yes, he uses the goofy little magnifying glass like a nerd, and yes, he will do it in his boxers.

This man says 'Critical hit' in bed. Yeah, he does.

He has wondered if he can incorporate the Guts sword into his villany. Unfortunately, it's a bit unwieldy by nature and requires all five fingers. He still has it though. He thinks it makes him sexy to just have it laying around (he's right.)

He will refer to the female orgasm as "The final boss" and liken it to trying to fight Radahn Two: Electric Boogaloo. Hey, at least he gets into it.

You will be made to wear the Ranni hat. It's happening. Come to peace with it.

Melina, Messmer and the Gloam Eyed Queen.

Disclaimer : this is not my theory. I saw it in a buried youtube comment and it rings so damn true I want you all to see it! From this guy, in this video.

OK so I was watching a lore video and disagreeing with a lot of it. Good stuff though, and the comments were fun. As I scrolled, I saw this, which blew my socks away and is definitely my personal take now! (the comment is edited for readability)

Melina is a daughter to Marika and Radagon. This is confirmed as she’s represented by a butterfly. The butterflies we can find in game all represent the children of Marika and Radagon.

Nascent butterfly represents Miquella, Aeonian butterfly represents Malenia, Smouldering butterfly represents Melina. And then in the dlc we’re introduced to Messmer and Black Pyreflies.

I like to believe that the children of Marika and Radagon come in twos. First came the twins Melina and Messmer, and then came Miquella and Malenia. The later share a contrasting theme, Miquella is cursed with eternal youth while Malenia is cursed with Scarlet Rot which caused her to rapidly decay, symbolizing old age and death.

And then we have Melina and Messmer who both share the theme of fire. Messmer has his own flame, a flame which is notably different from any other pyromancy in the game, his fire is more red and more aggressive. He is able to share his fire with his followers, his fire knights who cast incantations of Messmer’s flame. Then when we kill Messmer, we obtain his flame as a physical item.

Now Melina’s flame was black flame, and in contrast to Messmer’s flame which could burn away all physical things, Melina’s black flame could burn metaphysical things (being burned by black flame does hp damage because it’s burning your very soul) and just like Messmer, Melina was able to pass on her black flame power to her own ‘knights’ the Godskins.

And so Messmer went on to use his flame to burn the enemies his mother pointed him at, where as Melina desired to burn the things that she could, she wanted to burn the Erdtree.

Marika couldn’t risk Melina tearing down everything she had worked for, so she had Maliketh confront Melina and defeat her. Maliketh then took Melina’s black flame just as we take Messmer’s flame, and he converted it into destined death, giving Maliketh sole control over the only thing that can kill the soul, thus truly killing someone once and for all.

(Note, Maliketh didn’t have destined death when he defeated Melina, which is why she’s still around, he killed her, but couldn’t get rid of her for good, nor did he need to once he took her power away.)

So when we meet Melina, she doesn’t know who she is or what her purpose is, but in time, she ultimately arrives at the same conclusion once again, she wants to burn the Erdtree, even without her black flame, she’s still the same person. We can then see to her wishes and use her to burn the Erdtree OR we can spare her and burn the Erdtree with the flame of frenzy.

And then in the flame of frenzy ending, we see Melina take on a new form, her original form, the form of The Gloam-Eyed Queen. Why has she reverted to this old form?

Because we kill Maliketh and unleash destined death, thus returning Melina’s black flame power to her.

The idea of Melina and Messmer being twins is backed up further by their association with the serpents. Messmer’s association with the serpents is obvious, where as Melina’s connection relies on the theory of her being the Gloam-Eyed Queen, where she’d then be associated with the Godskins, and we know the Godskins are associated with serpents.

My own musings...

What if Maliketh defeated Melina/the Gloam Eyed Queen, but let her be. Deafeated doesn't mean killed. It's possible she was burnt and bodiless because Messmer destroyed her. Marika already makes him do her dirty deeds with his subjugation of the shadowland, isn't it possible he requested he burn his sister so she could better control her as a spirit?

Things that don't really gel : why would Melina be "queen" of anything. Where would she have ruled? If she's an empyrean, as we know she was, where is her shadow bound beast, and more importantly, why wasn't Messmer? We know both Miquella and Malenia have no shadows (as far as we can tell) but were also both Empyreans despite the curse.

Perhaps it's because Melina inherited Grace, while Messmer didn't.

Perhaps the flames aren't the curse, but only the serpent inside of him. Making him uneligible, not only for grace, but also for empyrean status.

Now that I think about it, there's NOTHING to support this, but it's possible that Melina could have been the queen Marika puts in charge of all the shadowlands while she's off with Messmer in the Lands Between. There is a lot of death there. Maliketh and Messmer could have come for her together, Messmer burning her/returning her to Marika to control (and use later on).

[velvet-apricots]

Oh man, why are my late night musings always so fucking fire??

OK, so I believe Miquella intended to become God via the Haligtree. And he probably would’ve succceeded, but he ended up getting kidnapped.

To protect himself, he charmed Mohg, and out of rage and spite he hastened the inevitable decline and destruction of his dynasty.

So if Miquella did not actually need Mohg at all at first, how the hell did he learn about the land of shadow? Easy. St. Trina!

There is the possibility that St. Trina learned something by visiting their own mother’s dreams. St. Trina’s love is extremely deep, even when Miquella abandoned her, she loved him. Why would she not visit her mother and ease her growing despair over being trapped in a cage?

This is also how St. Trina learned just how horrible godhood is.

This knowledge offered Miquella one final opportunity to ascend to godhood that did not involve becoming a vessel of an outergod. So he took it by any means nessisary. Even if it meant doing things that are downright awful, and against what he believed.

Mohg’s body was used out of convenience AND a final spiteful insult to him. Further signifying, how his desperate attempts to attain godhood corrupted his ideals.

I don’t have all the pieces sorted out in my mind, like why Radahn had to die. Perhaps he had by that point abandoned his vow, and so Malenia went to go ensure that he kept it? That does sound plausible.

Anyway. I am really liking how this is coming together.
