sorry its just that next to melina, hyetta is a huge fav of mine. melina too but shes like for opposite reasons

also all the themes and lore for the frenzied flame are so odd and amazing imo, the kind of people that are drawn to it and their various motivations.

its one thing to want power, its another thing to want to usurp power you deem hurtful or unjust. its another thing entirely to want to do away with power as a concept, and even do away with the existence and ability to even perceive power (and everything else). it would be easy to just say the frenzy flame worshipers were all assholes and selfish, but i think some were lied to, some were tired, and others truly believing it was what everything needs. fanatical. "you despair at the rise of the frenzied flame? do not worry, soon you wont despair anymore <333"

also the theme of yellow is just, really really great to me. i started reading The King in Yellow short stories after i played signalis and now im seeing how much elden ring references it too. yellow is such a color to depict it

i like the opposition between the frenzied flame and the greater will. theyre both yellow too!!! and yet they are fundamentally opposite to eachtother in almost every way.

look at the greater wills yellow. its light, kind of soothing i guess? from the first elden ring trailer where we saw the tree i said it looked parasitic and like a curse but my friends all were like "? wym it looks pretty?" it looks malicious dude im gonna be honest

a still doesnt do the frenzied flame justice so heres a clip i took. but mixed with the red and the darker yellow just make it feel like...idk blunt and aggressive, while the greater wills yellow feels unsettling and passive. this is probably a Me Thing but yeah
