*SoTE spoilers undercut
This is a continued discussion in light of Marika's newly discovered tragedy. It changes so many things about how we look at the story thus far but more importantly - the DLC story trailer, especially this scene:
think about how Messmer knows, very acutely, that at one point his mother could have been cut up and put in a jar. and that his other kins were not so lucky....... it gives that scene such a tragic edge.
he wasn't doing this just for the violence. this is his answer to Marika's love and all she has done for him. yeah it's not right, it's not justified, but as something done to avenge for the kind of pain she went through? it won't be logical nor right but it's something he will do again without hesitation.
the infirmary in Shadow's Keep shows that he's trying to care for and save whatever left of her people. their people.
the line he said in his armor set description hits different when you consider all that. he wants to be the heir to all her sorrow and all of her pain. wishing that he could alleviate even just a bit of the burden of her grief and survivor guilt.
i wonder if, when Marika hid him in the Land of Shadow, fearing people will judge him for the malevolent snake he carried, she raised him in her home village? this will explain why the Tree Sentinels guarding the village drop two Blessing of Marika - the blessing that specifically stated Marika made it for Messmer's sake and him alone. it will also explain how he knew of his Mother's tragic past and took it upon himself to carry out her wish of vengeance for her people.
(also if you wanted to get to Marika's village, you have to perform the O Mother gesture before her statue in his Shadow Keep, implying he's guarding the way to her home village as well.)
One other thing I like is that in the story trailer, the heroic music sounds like it's for Miquella. and it is, in a way. it is his boss music, but the lyrics has "Ave Marika Aeterna" (Hail, Marika The Eternal).
Given that the boss arena is where Marika - the sole survivor of a whole village, walked through to salvage the remains of her people, making them the symbol of her divine ascension, I wonder if that OST is actually for her - the God, the woman whose story is finally realized in this DLC, and those female voices singing in honour of her are the spirits of her fallen kins: cheering on their last hope for justice. Through this girl, those people who had been wronged and died there will live on eternally.
All this of course seems like such a charitable take on all this, after all Marika ended up being just like the oppressors who used to put her people in jars, but I think I just want to appreciate how the environmental storytelling of this DLC is simply amazing. and once you consider that this is, in the end, Marika's story, everything will make a lot more sense.
#elden ring#shadow of the erdtree#sote spoilers#queen marika the eternal#messmer the impaler#oh marika#falling to my knees the more i think about this#doomed mother and son and their quest for revenge#er brainrot#elden ring dlc story get behind me i will fist fight ppl for you#the story is only underwhelming if you are under the impression that it is solely about one character#remember the official marketing for this DLC ALWAYS put emphasis on how it's about Marika's past first#ppl are too focused on the other character that it completely flew over their head#fromsoftware i know your game im living in your wall you cannot fool me

I dont entirely know (or care if im being honest) how plausible it is that Gimli, Fili, Kili, and Ori grew up together but I’m holding on to the belief that they were best friends with a white knuckle death grip.
#ered luin is probably a big place but i mean cmon. theyre family#they all had to know each other somehow#Ori in particular being Fili and Kili’s dear friend is of vital importance you see#i was pleased to see them add him to the missing pony troll scene in the lego game#he shouldve been there to begin with#the hobbit#fíli#kíli#ori the dwarf#gimli

you guys ever get into a game (or some other media) and feel like, "yeah this is exactly where i'm supposed to be" or like "coming home" even though it's new to you? been feeling that so hard with soulsborne games over the last few months
#bloodborne in particular feels like it had its own designated spot in my soul that i'm just now fulfilling#but elden ring and DS1 too#my standards are fucked now i feel like no other games are going to tick all the boxes for me like this#aesthetically thematically gameplay-wise and story-wise#copa is a league of its own for me emotionally but i'd be lying if i said i didn't maybe like BB/ER more...

I was rewatching The Stone Forest and I really like to think that Hilda had to pass by the Bell Keeper’s outpost on her way out of the city limits. I like to think that idiot looked at what was happening, shrugged, and said ‘eh, she’s the scariest thing out there’
#“‘the scariest thing out there’?”the girl sends him a look that isn't quite a glare for once; it still conveys her opinion just as clearly#Edmund shrugs. Hilda is still within sight of his binoculars. he watches her run and can’t be sure whether she’s running *towards* or *from#*.He doesn’t think she knows either.#'I mean. it’s not like trolls can harm her at this time of the day.#Don’t tell me you believe in fairies kid.'#And there it is at last: the glare. Meiri looks up from her art project - her new therapist had reccomended it as a way to express herself#and since he'd been helping so much so far she'd decided to grudgingly give it a shot -#“*No*” she states pointedly; to anyone who knew her it was an affirmation. And Edmund knew her better than she cared for#'What I believe in is wolves and recluse spiders and ticks and nettle. And I believe that someone with the spine#to sabotage the Patrol wouldn't have the self control to not lick a pretty mushroom'#“Hey!” Edmund protested putting down his binoculars. “I sabotaged the Patrol! For *you* I might add!”#Meiri's smile turned mean; it was a regular expression for her yet it never conveyed any malice. Just the thrill of a game that never tired#her. “And would you?” she lifted one thick eyebrow; signaling to her dad that it was his move now#The dad in question was unfortunately thinking back to a time in his young teenage years when he figured he could eat anything animals bit#and gave himself a poisoning that had him taken to the ER. But she didn't need to know that. *ever* in fact.#“Obviously I would. Like I'd let a mushroom ruin my perfect sandwich diet”#Meiri groaned loudly. Some games were worth playing. But some wars she'd already accepted she'd never win#“Anyway” he turned back to staring at the outside of the wall as if it was of any interest to him (it wasn't)#“kid'll be fine is my point. And even if she isn't ya know what's the best think about this situation?”#They looked at each other with matching smirks. “none of our flipping business” he said at the same time as she echoed#“None of our fucking business”#He gasped immediatelly. “*Meiri!*”#The chastening was useless. She just shrugged innocently.#He'd really have to limit her library visits#the bell keeper hilda#meirdom#hilda the series#hilda netflix

Was soooooo happy with this phase 1 which is what made it so much funnier that I was immediately clapped by his phase 2 😂
#romina is still my fave boss but messmer is a solid second#almost every other boss I would describe as “would’ve been good if their damage wasn’t so overtuned”#my stance if that if I’m consistently losing to a boss with 10/14 flasks left the damage is overtuned#vs me losing to sword saint isshin with no gourds or pellets left bc he was tough enough to whittle me down#fromsoft bros will say get good but think high numbers is big difficulty#an actually difficult boss doesn’t need big damage output if the mechanics are the challenge#I don’t actually mind how relentless the bosses are in ER but I mind how HARD they hit on top of that#dodging a 12 hit uninterruptible combo where each move does like 1/10th of your health? that’s fine.#if I properly time 3 of those dodges I can still make it and it’s honestly my bad if I’m getting killed by that#dodging a 12 hit uninterruptible combo where each hit takes out 1/2 of ur health bar & has a 50% chance for an additional retaliation combo?#I *can* do it but Jesus Christ what a waste of my time lmao#how am I supposed to learn a boss when I can’t get into a flow state bc a single mistake can end a run smh#I just beat gaius and I didn’t even feel accomplished I was just like ugh finally#I feel like 95% of his moves are fine once you work out the delays and positioning#but I kept getting clipped by his charge attack like I would dodge out of the way but once the i frames were finished I’d still get hit#bc I guess I wasn’t dodging a perfect 90 degrees to him and the hitbox for that attack is long as hell#which would be whatever if that move didn’t take out like 2/3 of my health and come out nigh instantly#I don’t even really know the tell for the move bc I beat him before I learned it bc I lucked out on a run where he didn’t charge me a lot#luckily the game is absolute DELIGHT to look at and explore that I can forgive the absolute bullshittery of the bosses#like I just got to the summit of dragon peak and I’m blown away by the design of that mountain#if we’re talking verisimilitude in games how about that whole shebang#no obvious well worn path up to the top of the mountain bc it’s just for dragons who’s gonna be walking up there?#having the player follow a trail of increasingly dense dragon corpses is SUCH a great tone setter#which means I’m probably going to hate bayle but whatever I’m already invested let’s gooooo#tsuchi plays games

The new trailer has injected hype straight into my veins (rip everyone who is tired of Varric narrating trailers feat. Solas, but I'm a sucker for both) and the art is just gorgeous as always so I took screencaps - figured I'd share in case anyone else wanted them!
#dragon age#dragon age: dreadwolf#da:d#da4#solas#i'd tag varric but he's not *pictured* lol so#i went off in the tags of the cinematic i reblogged earlier but for REAL there's a lot of little things in this trailer that are new!!#i mean i'm not surprised it's not an 'official' game trailer lol they're almost certainly saving that for game awards this week#but- the symbolism with the 7 evanuris outside the circle rim (theorized previously but now confirmed & with symbols!)#the way the golden city turned black (also dope skull) - its been theorized that the gc/bc was elven related but!! this is a BIG lead#plus ppl have been noting it almost looks like there's a ship sailing away from the gc before it turns black/as it does so#in those swirling black patterns that 'root' out before the image changes-#so!! new theories re maybe the evanuris/remaining elves fled the gc? after corrupting it??? or otherwise Fucking Around and Finding Out#plus the final one! with solas and the er- bomb/spell to destroy the veil - the 4 (but possibly 5 it looks like ones clipped out)#semicircles representing the evanuris - and more importantly... the archdemons probably - bc 5 defeated archdemons.... out of ostensibly 7-#5 evanuris down (or more terrifyingly: 5 of their 'locks'?) (or or- 5 of their simply leaked Bad Vibes in Dragon Form) out of 7#somehow tying into this spell...?#solas (if ogb was a thing in ur playthrough) not only has mythal's energy but ogb's.... so many unanswered questions and loose threads#i and every other Lore Nerd are desperately trying to figure out what can be braided together with any reasonable effect lmao#regardless - gorgeous art is gorgeous hello new desktop bg

noah caldwell-gervais is the only motherfucker to have ever been correct about dark souls and elden rings' difficulty. no one else understands
#oops. rant ->#they aren't about overcoming some incredible struggle in order to prove yourself as an insane upper echelon Gamer#they're about allowing the player to create a victory that feels satisfying to them#either by mastering the mechanics#using your brain and coming up with a strategy that works#or just getting some friends to help beat it into the ground#saying “sekiro is designed to teach you that mechanical mastery is sometimes required for victory” is just completely the wrong way around#sekiro exists for the people that preferred to use mechanical mastery to beat dark souls!!!#cause fromsoft went “that's pretty fun may as well make a game based around that”#it doesn't fucking exist so that people play it and go “ah yes this is the way fromsoft intends us to play their other games”#spirit summons in ER exist so that they can create more aggressive bosses without leaving a bunch of players unable to beat the game!!!#like you can like or dislike that game design decision#disliking it is a fair opinion to hold#I kinda dislike it. I don't like rellana as a boss cause she feels reliant on it#but saying that it's bad cause “it teaches you to play the game badly” is so stupid#like it lets you beat the game. what more do you want#the criticism you're looking for is “I dislike it cause I don't like playing the game that way and find it less fun”#which is totally valid and I kinda agree!#but as someone who prefers to fight bosses solo by mastering the mechanics:#stop acting like “fighting bosses solo by mastering the mechanics” is the objectively correct way to play#and deciding that because you play that way all of your critiques are the most valid#and accept you maybe just disagree with some of fromsoft's design choices for ER.#it's fine. you can still like the game. it's okay

I have been enjoying Dark Souls lately in the wait for SotE so please enjoy these pictures of my Unkindled in DS3 😂
#sin speaking#(im slipping dangerously fast into the ds rabbit hole tbh)#(am i drawing loy in this outfit? yes. might have already actually. might definitely have done that)#(i recently completed ng+ for ds3 tho bc the lord of hollows ending is the coolest one!!!!!!)#(the executioner sword is my mainstay and my favourite. aside from big oonga boonga bonk lord fume ultra LOL)#(i love this game. it tortured me relentlessly.)#(i have completed preparation in ER for the dlc so i am just bumbling around the other souls games rn)#(the drip in ds3 is exceptional tbh i have to say i think in terms of weapons and armor ds3 is tied with er for my fav fashion souls)#(can u believe just over a year ago i was too scared to play fromsoft games? look at me now we love character growth 😂)#(anyway GIGA EXCITED FOR THE ER DLC HOLY SHIT)

Here we are– you are the first of the 4 in which I completed. MSpaint spooky/thoughtful Cayin doodle. It was fun deciding on what to do. Hope you enjoy, Croc. Hope you don’t mind that I was feeling BB Cayin <3
// AAAAAAAAAAAHHH this is so lovely!! You nail his style perfectly, this came out so cool. Thank you Cat!!
#submission#Your art is always a joy- and when it's about the snake gentleman himself I just feel so lucky ;u; <3#don't mind it being BB Cayin at all! ER may have been my focus lately but I still think a lot about the Victorian snek with a hat#plus you capture him so perfectly#also I have to say I'm a huge fan of your usual artstyle but I also really dig the rougher style of your MSpaint doodles!#this could be a portrait for when you talk to him in a very stylish point-and-click adventure game#the way the lines frame him. The way you incorporate the white into his dark clothing and his overall pose her#is such a cool mood#if you make the image smaller and the pixels become more pencil drawing-like it feels like a small illustration over a tabletop statline#or a quest's description#in other words your art just gets the thoughts in my brain moving and I really like that!#the small touch of the colored bow on his ponytail is a neat detail too#and you know what I kinda love the way that warm sepia-ish tone feels#and you know what I kinda love the way that warm sepia-ish circle in the back could be the moon or the sun depending on how you look at it#because it plays really nicely into the duality of Cayin's shadowy style with the theme of the sun for Yig#gives a bit of an Autumn vibe to the picture too :y#but yes I could go on- love it. Love it to bits 8]#hexenjagd#friend art

Why was nobody going to tell me that running Elden Ring in fullscreen (as opposed to borderless windowed) tanks your framerate. I've been running this game at min settings and still having stuttery inconsistent gameplay for SO LONG you're telling me this game can run SMOOTH????
#like I usually run games in borderless if I can idk why ER wasn't set to#I only changed this to see if it would fix the window sometimes un-rendering when I tab out BUT APPARENTLY IT IMPROVES PERFORMANCE TOO#like what I have never seen this with any other games??? maybe I have some experiments to run#elden ring

Always funny to me when my coworkers notice how much of a germaphobe I am when they see me wipe down my cart in the morning. I dont just wipe the handle, I wipe the top of the sides and the top part of the baby seat, places where people grab other than the handle. Then I use hand sanitizer bc by that point I've touched: the cart, the scanner locker screen and locker, my scanner (also wipe that shit down, yuck), my lock, and the spray bottle. So yucky places.
I mean hey maybe I'm not giving my immune system that boost of exposure, but I'm also not giving it covid, norovirus, or influenza from touching the cart and scanner so 🤷♀️
#marquilla#sometimes it gets them to wipe down their cart or at least their scanner lol#im always hounding RC to not chew her nails bc the forklift handle is FILTHY and to wear a mask#everyone else can build or break their immune systems with the abundence of germs about and mask/clean at their own discretion#which is like never sgdggdgdgd but yknow im sure them all getting colds and the flu are just coincidence#im so scared im gonna jinx it and get sick myself sgdgdgd like im more so worried ab covid bc that fucker has gotten me 2x at least and i#got long covid from both times 😠 im less scared ab getting other sickness but i do hold a grudge if i KNOW who got me sick#like i got pneumonia in hs bc this fucking kid in my class had it and kept coming to school and i was out for like 3 weeks AND had to go to#the hospital overnight 🙄 fuckhead oh and he was apparently notorious for skipping school to play video games in middle school#WHY NOT STAY HOME IN HS TOO?? i also had to go in an ambulance and it was awkward as hell bc it was just a transfer from the urgent care/er#to the kids hospital and you cant drive yourself or have your parents take you bc theres a chain of custody and shit#ANYWAYS spritz spritz motherfucker im lysoling you all for your own safety

ok I just Kar'niss-pilled myself on youtube... brother I cannot allow myself to hyperfixate on anything other than Elden Ring bc of the sheer amount of screenshots and videos I have yet to upload but the tragic white-haired spider guy surely ain't helping me to only fixate on one thing at a time
#i also dont wanna make another sideblog i have like 15#i cannot allow this#so if i ever get to playing the game and making content for it#(bg3 i mean)#i'll do so on my other main#idk why am i telling this on an ER blog you dont care#I guess there are more active followers on here than my other main#anyway ignore this im just idk.. spazzing or whatever#i cant even speak english rn#he has only like 8 min of screentime how dare you????
