Santiago Caruso - The Dunwich Horror, 2008

[redacted-metallum]

A couple days ago I was huffing bloodborne related copium while slightly over-caffeinated, as is my perogative, and I Connected some Things.

First off: Mohg, Lord of Blood. The item descriptions of his stuff imply that his Formless Mother is a) a Great One and b) the source of his blood powers.

Now, there's nothing that says anywhere that the Great Ones in Elden Ring are the same as Great Ones in Bloodborne.

However.

Who else do we know is a) the source of Magic Blood, b) Formless, and c) associated with bearing Accursed Children?

Oedon.

And iirc nothing in Bloodborne says Oedon CAN'T be a feminine/mother type entity. It's likely that Oedon is Mergo's sire and made Anneliese get pregnant but. A Formless Great One doesn't have to follow the rules of human biology.

And here's where I went off the rails:

A lot of sources suggest Oedon may have been based off of Yog-Sothoth. This is a thing you see floating around the internet from time to time and I certainly would believe that Miyazaki stuck a few nods to the Cthulhu Mythos here and there! He's done it before!

But here's the thing.

In the Dunwich Horror, Yog-Sothoth impregnates Lavinia Whateley, a human woman, who later gives birth to twins - one of whom hides his form as best he is able to and tries to live among humans until his death (after trying to steal an evil scary book but that's beside the point im trying to make)

(I'm compelled to make paranthetical tangents and the like. You understand.)

The other Whateley twin is an unseen monster who goes on a rampage after his brother is killed after having been hidden in a barn and farmhouse for 15 years. He dies trying to invoke his father and bring the Great Old Ones back.

Now.

Who else is a set of twins, one of whom tried to assimilate as best he could for as long as possible (and has a tail!), and the other either did not or could not?

Who else tried to start a new Era of the world in the name of a formless parent?

It's not 1:1, obviously, but I really really think Margott and Mohg are references to the Dunwich Horror and the Whateley twins. Which adds credence to my hypothesis that Mohg's Formless Mother and Oedon are one and the same, since they're both potentially based off of Yog-Sothoth.

Bloodborne remake confirmed?? <- insane

It was in the township of Dunwich, in a large and partly inhabited farmhouse set against a hillside four miles from the village and a mile and a half from any other dwelling, that Wilbur Whateley was born at 5 A.M. on Sunday, the second of February, 1913.
