I love how the fandom collectively agrees that Cho sam is either a wholesome bean that must be protected at all cost, or a normal dude with no(?) personality whatsoever outside of being normal. ( Maybe he's more of a troublemaker idk, but atleast he's less worse than chung myung heh-)

And whether you think he's confident or not, You just know he'll be scared shitless of what ever the fuck is going on in Mount Hua Sect.

Anyhow, no matter what cho sam's interpretation in your mind, I need more fics, and art of him- PLEASSE🙏🙏🙏

You know what, Araj might be tied with Orin for "people I wish I didn't have to see again"

The way dally has Bucks flannel on hand. He doesn’t go out to borrow one, it’s not in a drawer. He just has it to lend to Ponyboy.

I want so desperately to explore him and buck.

There are three things that a beggar and a rich person share every day: the sun, the moon, and the stars.

"What I once feared, I have become!" Heyyy so it's time to be insane and ramble about things that don't make sense I need more people to portray flaggie as someone who has doubts and fears istg. Like yes. Yes being Light's bravest boy going through anything and everything throw at him is his schtick I don't deny that. But as much as it is fun to explore the fanaticism, no one seems to explore the more tender side of things? That he's still experiencing pain (not in a masochist way), that it still hurts, that this quest is scary for him and that he seems to not see value in his past life as beggar? That he believes this is the only thing he can do since he used to be good for nothing lowlife? Why no one talks about the tragedy that he cannot fathom the idea of experiencing something pleasant? That any act of kindness towards him he sees as 'temptation'. Bro cannot comprehend that he could accept someone's gift without it being a terrible sin (why do you consider that a sin anyway? Brother do you not believe you deserve nice things in life? Do you truly believe you can only experience suffering? Are you as pure as you claim to be or do you have a compulsive need to atone for life you did not have control over? Did you choose this life because for once you could make a choice instead of wasting away forever?) If his role is that of a shepherd (as he claims), why does he want to die so much in the final quest? So many questions. I need to study him under a microscope and he's arguably very 1 dimensional. Pain.

I headcanon that the reason gyro's belt is like that is so that on the extremely rare, one-in-a-million, stars perfectly aligned chance someone asks where his dick is he can be like "RIIIGHT HERE!!! 😼" like a fucking loser

i know what tattoo millie doesn’t have, because during the short period where lucifer’s possessing her, she keeps taking the wheel of the vessel to go and get herself the ugliest cartoon devil tattoos money can buy. lucifer is wasting precious grace getting those off of her body because he can’t stand them, and then she just goes and gets another one in a couple days time.

The insidiousness of Kin in Bloodborne

The game makes a clear distinction between the earthly, beastly nature of mankind and the higher, more sophisticated and advanced inhuman evolution offered by the stars, with one being feared and hated by almost everyone but a small group of irreverents and the other being the goal of most organizations in the setting. They crave the superior knowledge that the stars, sea and Great Ones can offer them and in their selfishness they drag the entire population through the mud, subjecting them to the Scourge that turns them into the reviled, de-evoluted monsters that infest Yharnam.

But there’s something to be noted when analyzing the result of their attempts at ascension... most Kin we see are horrifying and animalistic monsters, no better than the beasts that devour the population. Take for example the Brainsuckers. Their lust for insight isn’t too dissimilar from that of blood-drunk men for their precious healing blood. They do everything in their power to feed themselves on more insight, more knowledge... and for what? In their current state, it’s more of a craving than a meaningful pursuit. And their locations are rather telling too, as most of them are found in the base of operation of the Choir. How were these men of science any different than the commoners they deem blinded by beastly idiocy? All those sacrifices to turn into addicts themselves.

We also see the Fluorescent Flowers, beings who are undeniably kin but... there seems to be nothing intelligent about them. They are ultimately just predators, luring in prey with their flower-like bait. Whatever ritual or experiment made those certainly didn’t lead to a greater understanding of the cosmos. The Scholars of Byrgenwerth themselves have long since turned into mindless sludge who attacks anything they don’t recognize, drifting away in a Nightmare far from their old world. Gardens of Eyes are also just monsters who instinctively attack us despite their supposed higher intellect.

Perhaps the Celestial Emissaries are the only ones not relegated to the role of mindless fiend yet even that is debatable. While we see their individuality still persist somewhat after the transformation (Arianna even remains passive and never retaliates unlike the others) as shown when we breach into Iosefka’s Clinic from the backside, for how long will that last? The other Emissaries we see are exactly like all other Kin, attacking us on sight and sparing no grace for anyone who approaches, showing no sign of their past humanity. And even if they do retain their intelligence somewhat, the same happens to certain beasts, like the Afflicted Beggar. Despite his condition he is capable of complex thinking, more complex than even most Kin we see, and he is able to feel things too.

Other attempts at evolution fail spectacularly and turn people into hungry monsters. Adeline, the only patient of the Research Hall conscious enough to address us is starving for Brain Fluid, and her hunger gets ravenous fast. The fact she is restrained as hard as she is seems to hint that she’d get violent, and we see many patients getting violent and even animalistic at times.

Or think of the Nightmare Apostles, once cultists of some kind, now turned to mindless spiders. The only one with a head on his shoulders and a brain to match is Patches, though he seems to be an explicit exception to the rule. [x]

No matter what, the thirst for knowledge remains the same... a thirst, a primal urge. Beastly idiocy goes both ways, but the stuck-up researchers of Yharnam don’t see it, and that’s their fatal mistake.

In the end, they were no better than the poor population. Just as clueless and obsessed with the very thing that was eating away at their humanity... but while the commoners despaired at this fate in the case of beasthood, these madmen wanted it and ruined countless lives to achieve it. Ultimately, it’s hard to feel sorry for them. They got what they wanted in their short-sightedness: absolute oblivion of the self.
