Tbh sometimes I feel awkward over using the same visual reference and/or argumentation for my theories for like 50th time ๐ But Soulsborne lore is simply structured in such a way that it isn't self-explanatory and needs sources. And I know that all five of you have seen the references many times, but there are also non-regular readers (most people just see my posts occasionally), but I can't stop posting the same sources all the time because I don't want anyone to just "assume" that I am a credible source! Like, I don't want to 'just say' things without backing them up and for someone to read them and 'just believe' them because they 'know' me and can 'assume' that they were well-researched and checked 'as usual'. This is a terrible attitude to perpetuate, nobody should be trusted just by default, no matter how much they've proven to obsessively check the source material in the past! It is less that I have genuine enjoyment being a parrot (I mean that TOO, but...) and more that I want to make a point that all claims about lore and characters should be put through scrutiny, you should never 'just' take the claims from anyone, including people whose whole reputation is being the lore guy
#basically no one's reputation should speak by itself#I don't want people to just assume that if I say something it gotta be researched!#i need to SHOW that I've researched!#personal#fandomry rambles#argh I don't know whether I explained myself well.. basically my parroting has a Deeper Meaning#even when I talk with mutuals there is always a chance someone new will pass by and read the thing#and it will be better if they see HOW this thing is concluded rather than going 'sounds fair I am in'#excluding shitposts I guess gjjkhghgjjkg
