Some Godwyn sketches that were living in my head rent free after reading a lore theory on reddit. It theorized that Godwyn was ascending to godhood by becoming a true dragon, in alignment with the myth of the koi fish swimming up stream until it became a dragon.

So I played around with that design as if it were a phase shift in his boss fight, with his weird oyster face opening up and revealing his true form, a rancid deathblight dragon.

Also playing around that the oyster face isn't Godwyns real face, but rather just like a real oyster, with Godwyns head is being reformed within it much like like what happens in real oysters when they make pearls (instead of calcium it's deathblight, and the "outside particle" is Godwyns corpse being covered and changed to create the Prince of Death.) (This is also like... visually could be compared to Griffith being rebirthed through the red behelit into Femto, since I know Miyazaki loves that Berserk stuff)

crack idea, the hornsent grandam places a curse upon marika and all born from her, we see such curse take effect in miquella and malenia, the omen twins mohg and morgott. curses in elden ring are usually made by people who have been wronged in one way or the other.

so my crack theory is this, what if godwyn had already been infected with the death blight long before his 'death' (in quote because he dies in soul but not body) at the hands of the black knifes? one thing to note is that we never really see any shot of him from the waist down (correct me if i'm wrong). the only shots i've seen of godwyn are these two-

me pointing out the obvious but see how we can't really make our his legs etc. we see this again after rogier is infected with the death blight, he's covered from the waist down and is dying (a slow death)-

rogier states that due to his affliction he is unable to fight i.e his fighting days are behind him. piggybacking off this, i think it can be used as argument as to why godwyn didn't bother fighting against his assassins -

you've got a legendary figure his defeating and befriending of the ancient dragons is one that is well known, not only that but being the son of godfrey i guess it is to be expected that he's a skilled enough fighter. alas, he still falls to the black knife assassins.

the issue with this though is that it seems death blight is a thing that spawned from godwyn's corpse after his incomplete death so....yeah.

thanks for reading this hot mess 💀

We stabbed one another

Blood spilt and shed across the thick grass

Never questioned if words could battle better

Than knives.

Here is a useful fact: inside every man is his death, wearing him like a thinning skin. Eventually his death will hollow him out like an old glove and replace him. It is no shame to release a man’s death, but rather an honor. His death is a much more permanent shape than he will ever take in life. Regard each death with respect, all you dead men. Otherwise you will forget yourselves. -Jantris, Storm-born

guys i changed my mind i think everyone in the elden ring fanbase should have a deeply personal expanded AU of their own that is like canon to them, but only if they tell me about it otherwise it is forbidden because tumblr user mohgreal needs to know

A malevolent snake writhed within Messmer, and so his very mother plucked out his eye and put in its place a seal of grace. Yet, having done so, her fear compelled her to secret away her child within the realm of shadow.

Hidden away—keeping company with the original sin, and a hatred that would not be confined.

... So what if Marika used the original eye from Messmer to create Godwyn?

Literally using a piece of Messmer to create a more perfected version -- an ideal version of him, devoid of serpents, devoid of the red hair. Devoid of shadow, with gold in its place...

Godwyn was not her fistborn. Just a substitute. A replacement. A vision of what Messmer should have been. Radiant, and golden.

just for fun when i beat the elden ring dlc i made a little tier list of how much i enjoyed the bosses (and then completely forgot about it and just found it again while cleaning out some folders). i don't even think the dragon fights are that bad i was just so sick of fighting them by the end :( justice for ghostflame dragon it was actually fine
