#also like you can tell both Miyazaki and GRRM adore their fem characters theyre complicated as shown with ranni malenia marika etc etc

I know this is post is from like months ago, but I disagree:

There's a lot of GRRM all over the game, the Demigod ARE indeed a massive part of his input we can see it on the relationships they have with one another either strained or still pretty much loyal and loving claming this isnt downplaying FromSoftware involvement whatsoever they brough GRRM to write and the devs brough them to life, just like well: a collaboration work. Miyazaki's games has ALWAYS shared same themes as GRRM's works because he's a fan of ASOIAF of course they're going to match but the specific themes is: symbols of power.

Despite all the cosmic powers of the demigods, despite all their abilities and divine right they failed. Miserably too, they're as pathetic and petty as the ASOIAF characters: Malenia and Radahn whole battle begin a good example of this with both begin the most likely candidates to the Elden Ring but failing miserably due to fighting with each other which ended on neither winning and both losing themselves. Radahn is a huge, hulking monster still adamant on riding his tiny febble horse, Malenia on the prospect of losing for the first time in her life she releases the Scarlet rot. I also notice the parallel of Morgott and Stannis Baratheon both are bitter with their families, specially their brothers/siblings due to their unruly behavior and both are staunchly defendants of Status Quo. GRRM and Miyazaki re-use previous tropes of their own works to give a spin to them in a new setting. Wanting to separate GRRM from Elden ring is wanting to separate Miyazaki from it too, both worked in collaboration and did an amazing world together.

Also the first gay (Specifically mlm) character from soulsborn game isn't Mogh. It's Velstadt the Royal Aegis from Dark Souls 2 its implied he was in love with Vendrick due to: 1. He retrieved to the Death crypt along side his king which he remained there and you have to kill him to get to "fight" Vendrick. 2. The usage of old tropes from previous games which Velstadt armor and role are from the character Garl Vinland who was protecting his love the Maiden Astraea.

so sick of seeing elden ring fans saying stuff like “blaming george rr martin for this part of the game I don’t like because we all know he loves violence and misogyny and incest and being edgy and the game would’ve been better off without him 🙄🙄” first of all you people actually have no idea what grrm’s work is actually about and second of all the demigods in elden ring are so wonderfully complex and interesting because grrm writes incredible characters. i’ll not hear any more of this slander
