Theory: Messmer's timeline and story will only make sense if you consider him Marika's beloved firstborn

Aka, welcome to my doomed Mother & Son presentation slide 🔥🫡

This is written with the assumption that readers are aware of the big reveal regarding Marika's past.

(spoilers for SoTE and long discussion from Messmer’s birth to his final moment)

edit to add this dialogue from Gideon:

EDIT 2: Messmer's helm description literally stated he accepted his fate. he was just brooding sitting in the dark minding his own business, & he'd have been fine for a long time more if the Tarnished hadn't sauntered in & triggered all of his insecurities at once.

hell, he's still maintaining the jar clinic, the Keep still shows signs of activities, his "suffering" is him not being able to see his mom. but it is what it is, he already accepted that. yet people still love to blame Marika while we are the one fucking his brain chemical up???

his bros are throwing a divine disco light party next to his house and he's like "i do not care 🫤 i do not see 😑". he doesn't even give a shit there would be a new God (as long as it's not his mom marrying someone he deems unfit). i think he'd even take up gardening while waiting for Marika to pick him up, no problem. why can't we just tell him his mom is imprisoned istg

EDIT 3: clarification on the mistranslation of Messmer's armor description

I've been working on this on and off for like a long time and honestly I kinda hate it now, but this is like a revamp of these but with the Beasts too lmao

This also has a headcanon I have of if the Legends had virtues like the Ancients and Beasts

Also yes I'm aware Fire and Moon might fit more if they switched but I have lore reasons leave me alone

Dream of the Whispered Words

[that-guy-sleepy-miles]

Red King! Specifically, the Red King of Eternal Slumber.

Sometimes, a family falls apart. Especially after something breaks them apart. When these things happen, especially in demon families, people might... go their separate ways. Create their own territories, find some locals to Lord over, the works.

The Demon Bull King is back, through the collaboration of his wife and son—but once he's freed, his son takes his leave. His son, who had hair that reached his ankles (how much he had changed). His son, who had greeted him with a smile, a wave, and a "Father. It's good to see you again, finally." His son, who had bade him farewell the same way ("Father. It was good to see you again.") before he was gone in a flash of fire.

His wife sighed, "I was hoping she would stick around longer than that..."

And then both of their attentions were taken by the little thief stealing the staff from under their noses.

"It is done, oh trifling giant. I have portrayed thy people and thine grotesque god as soyjacks and mine army of gold as valiant chads."

Ngl Marika was really cruel when she said that to the last Fire Giant.

What other food do you think he can cook? Fried fish, yeto's soup? Pumpkin bread, honey cakes, jam? Tamales?

one thing i find interesting is that Rellana's sword description said the red one is engraved with "golden flame", it's the same flame seen on Fire Knights' weapon and Messmer's spear. so, flame with gold tinge.

only the flame in Messmer's Orb has black tendrils of the Dark / Abyss, and it's the Orb description that specifically states he hates his fire. other items like his Kindling and Embers also have very distinctive dark outlines (the Kindling description confirms the Abyssal Serpent was eating away at the fire).

so we can safely assume Messmer's fire, when given to others, carries over the golden grace Marika blessed him with, whereas when it's Messmer himself wielding it, or if it's a catalyst that "can't find purchase" in other hosts like Fire Coil / Fire Serpent spell, it will always have the additional dark tendrils, since only Messmer carries the Abyssal Serpent. such a neat design choice and a very consistent way to showcase that.

and it kinda makes me emotional because Marika is vulnerable to fire, yet her blessing to her son is so strong that her gold bleeds into his fire, & it's something that carries over when he shared it to those under his command. like how full of warmth and love that blessing must be? man.

Ymir i get it. i get you. you covet the strength of a mother so much cuz that strength is truly incomparable. welcome back BIoodborne's "Let the pungence of Kos cling, like a mother's devotion...Mercy for the poor, wizened child."

Red King's Model Sheet (Slumber&Fire)

If you don't know who Red King is, here are a few posts about her: the synopsis, a ficlet, and some context.

Hooo boy! My tablet pen was finally found after weeks, so I sat my ass down for two days, and drew Red King in both her King of Eternal Slumber and her King of Eternal Fire designs! I have 15 million design notes on these, but we'd be here all day if I went into detail. You'll have to ask me about it directly lmao.

Do you think maybe you could do some Pyro? I think we need more of them! Perhaps some Scout/Pyro? If you feel like it :3c

i don't usually ship pyro with the others because I always saw their relationship with pyro as a familial bond but if I were to ship pyro with someone it would be scout. as long as scout gets over his terror with some exposure therapy i think he'd find they have a lot of shared interests. Scout needs someone who doesn't talk a lot, he needs air to fill.

i love pyro my beautiful anypronoun agender friend

Sauron invented gunpowder as like an after thought. Put it in like a 'this could be used for nefarious purposes' box for later.

And it worked, the Numenorians got hold of it at some point and when Tar-Mairon came finally, he looked over their work with a odd sort of pride?

All this to say Olorin smuggled gunpowder back into Middle Earth and created fireworks in the name of redeeming twisted creations (and in hopes of riling up the fledgling dark lord wherever it was he was hiding)
