Amelia always knew she'd be taking the position of Vicar from her mentor. She just didn't expect it to be so soon, nor did she expect to be the last Vicar to ever be.

Bloodborne Round 2, Match 3. Favourite Area?

[evangelifloss]

I think a really pivotal moment for me playing bloodborne was when I first encountered Vicar Amelia. Going in I knew she was going to become a boss somehow, but seeing her hunched over and praying whilst waiting for the inevitable struck a cord with me, or rather, I fell under the assumption that whatever beastly form she became, it would be inherently feminised. Think the white fury from how to train your dragon-- her male counterpart looks like a dragon, but because she's female, she's very soft and all ferocious tendencies are removed.

But then as I watched her transformation, which was freaking awesome by the way, I was stunned to see that upon becoming a beast, she actually looked like one. She wasn't slender or lithe, her fangs/teeth were very pronounced, and her whole body was incredibly imposing. Her head in particular was BIG. It looked like, well, a beast, that wasn't "this is a FEMALE, THEREFORE SHE HAS ELEGANT FEATURES" rather, they chucked that entire notion out the cathedral window.

Also they gave her freakin' antler horns and strangely proportioned arms. Not to mention her shroud became shaggy tendrils of fur, and her hood ended up becoming part of the design. We never are granted the sight to see her face. Or more specifically, her eyes. And we know how obsessed the lore is with eyes.

Vicar Amelia was a terrifying beast, violent and savage. Fromsoft in this case, really said "beasthood is beasthood, we will not be making the female ones any different from the male."

I was too impressed by her design that I died relatively straight away once the battle began. In fact I was too focused on trying to get details on her appearance rather than fight.

Anyways Vicar Amelia's human and consequential beasthood form slaps. That is how you design a female "monster". Animation industry in particular take notes-- not every goddamn female anthro animal needs breasts or delicate features.

My Special Little Guy in Bloodborne.

Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time, and in the fifty bajillion times I have played it, there has been one thing I saw that probably nobody cares about, but I still really found interesting and like to talk about. When you beat the Blood-Starved Beast... there is a door in Cathedral Ward that opens. Most people already know this, but what you may not know is that there is a "unique" enemy there. At first, I thought he was really weird because he had an interesting model that I had never seen before. But after a few times encountering him, I realized... it wasn't a unique model, it was two in one! For some reason, one of the Yharnamites in the tower that leads up to Upper Cathedral Ward is two models that are fused together. It's kinda interesting because he is literally two different enemies with different weapons and animations, but yet they somehow wound up mashed up during development. As far as I know, this one here is the only one like this and, also as far as I know, I have literally never seen anybody else talk about it, which means I am probably the only person on Earth who cares about this random, bugged out Yharnamite. I just think he's neat! Anyways, I tried to get a video, but I'm kinda bad at this stuff lmao

I attempted to get some footage of him attacking, which makes some of his glitchy textures easier to see, but he might have moved around too much. I then tried to record his body, and then show what his model is supposed to look like. I believe the other model in him is one of the Yharnamites in the black Healing Church attire who use the pitchforks.

Hey did I fuck up by sending the lady in South-Central Yharnam to get probed at "Iosefka's" clinic? Because I haven't gotten the prompt to send to Oedon Chapel or Iosefka's at all since then. I thought a bunch of the npcs in Cathedral Ward's scenic get-fucked alley would want somewhere to go. Pretty sure that's where the fancy dress sw and murder church girl live, right?

Idk when Chapel Dweller was like "make sure they're worth rescuing" I immediately went to send that rude lady to the good doctor instead. Maybe the game knows I know and is punishing me for being too judgy on my first actual playthrough, but like, my hunter, Nice Lady has established a working relationship with Fake Iosefka, I have jerks for her to "heal" and she has items for me, I can't just stop already!

(I am amused that Nice Lady is as judgmental as I am and will knowingly send a woman she kinda hasn't actually met to an imposter doctor in exchange for items to help her fight other hunters. If u don't mind ur manners, Nice Lady will become Cutthroat Bitch real quick 🖤)

Upper Cathedral Ward

[tomb-mold]

ok one thing that i keep thinking about that i never noticed before on my other bloodborne playthroughs is the ambient choral music that plays when you go throughout upper cathedral ward. there is only one other area in the game i can think of that has a musical score playing while exploring an area, which is the chanting when first entering hypogean gaol/yahar'gul. but the chanting is diagetic, its happening right then and there within the universe of the game. so the ambient music that plays in upper cathedral ward being disembodied vocals with no instruments only begs the question even more: who dat!!! and where and why

In case you were curious about the dialogue Oedon Chapel Dweller has to say if you send all the survivors to the clinic instead.
