For character ask meme: how about Ornstein?

Sure thing! Again so sorry abt having taken so long to do it..

Favorite thing about them: that he's so respectful, even of his enemies/not friends, loyal and just the textbook perfect knight, i adore characters like that. Also the fact he went all the way to archdragon peak to get back to NK.

Least favorite thing about them: the goddam fucking flying attack.

Favorite line: yeah well..

brOTP: him and NK!!

OTP: nooo idea...

nOTP: x Smough i'd imagine?

Random headcanon: him and Artorias would hit each other jokingly all the time.

Unpopular opinion: HIS PHASE 2 IS HARD. IT IS. YES IT IS HARD.

Favorite picture of them: by Oedonion

Smough's Armour is Deceptively Clever

First off, the helmet. It's common knowledge that the part with the face is actually ABOVE Smough's head, designed to draw blows away from his face, however his head ALSO isn't located by the eye-markings either:

It's a double fake-out! And best of all it's surprisingly well thought out. Armour works best when it leaves room between metal and body to absorb blows. The usual problem with full helms like Smough's is that the only way to see through them with any sort of efficiency is to press one's face right up against the holes/slits, leaving very little space for shock absorption.

Now notice how the part with the lower "eyes" bulges outwards. It's the EXACT shape you want when deflecting blows! So you either hit the upper "face" and miss completely, or hit the lower "face" and bounce right off. For a massive fellow like Smough, aiming for his head is the most efficient way to take him down, and he KNOWS that.

This deceptive strategy is utilized ALL throughout Smough's armour, primarily because he isn't actually fat according to his concept art. The bulbous shape of his armour exists entirely to deflect blows and make enemies assume it reflects the anatomy within.
