Fair Lady and her most loyal knight for Souls Zine III

Assets for the blue eye orb descriptshort. This took a lot of time getting research for a fifty second animation. Looking forward to remaking Gwyndolin and Kirk later.

jokes aside I'm pretty certain that Elemer of the Briar is loyal to Malenia, or at least perceives himself to be, despite whatever was going on with Marais.

Obviously the Cleanrot Knights at the Shaded Castle are protecting him, but! that's not actually the main thing that suggests it

look at his goofy edgy armor set:

dodge rolls deal damage! it has the Kirk effect!!! this is meta but I can't imagine that this isn't a nod to another occupant of Elemer's FromSoft archetype--that is, yeah: Kirk, Knight of Thorns

Both Elemer's Briar title and his armor effect mirror Kirk's, and Kirk's whole thing in Dark Souls 1 is that he invades you periodically at points along your journey towards the Bed of Chaos. And, when you defeat him for the last time... You find his body next to Quelaag's Sister--implying, of course, that his invading antics were specifically to protect the Sisters of Chaos and to serve the Fair Lady specifically (and to feed her the humanity he pillaged in so doing).

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ACTUALLY

Quelaag and Quelaag's Sister(look up their lore if ur not familiar) are the FromSoft archetypes that correspond to Miquella and Malenia--they differ in certain ways, but thematically and narratively they are the exact same at core; even their names & monikers reference their forebears.

Miyazaki isn't shy whatsoever about reiterating on previous ideas, obviously, so... the Kirk of Elden Ring, a repeating boss, making his "final" stand before a portrait of a terminally ill woman is quite significant and can't have been unintentional.

Going off of that-- Elemer also of course appears to be the Bell Bearing Hunter, and, in which case... why is he collecting them, actually? To what end? Considering the reason Kirk collected humanity(also yielded by killing friendly merchants), we might be able to guess

I like how Kirk basically cannot exist without simping offering gifts (gathered through murder) to a sad woman fshfhsfdf He serves the Fair Lady in Dark Souls 1, and when he makes a return in Dark Souls 3, what does he do? Right, he NOW serves Rosaria! Whatever happened since DS1, but he needed to return to his roots. Like, this is just his legit trait as a person. What a character

^ LMAO one of the vk.ru stickers looks like Kirk's attempt at making breakfast for me

He is very proud of himself, won't you partake of this delicious feast? He even got his friend Eingyi to help! (please don't eat that salad)

Kirk joined Rosaria's fingers hoping to be able to bring back The Fair Lady, the one he loved.

I didn't know you liked Kirk and Fair Lady so much, how did this happen? xD

Yeah, well idk i played the game went to look at some infos online and after reading all the lore i could, i fall in love with them i guess xD (you haven’t saw all the art i reblog? lol). Same thing happen with Alva and Zullie afterwards.

Let’s just. Not tell everyone the context how you discover that too xD help

I first met the fair lady and successfully joined her covenant. So i went to look for more lore online bc i didn’t had the ring to know what she was saying. It was very intriguing for sure. For Kirk i think i only fight him once or twice 💀 i didn’t knew he was in the sewers. I screw up his quest lmao. Can’t wait to see him again in ds3 too.

So yeah after i learn the lore of them both and stumble across some beautiful fanarts of them i really began to like them 🥺 trope aesthetic etc love the contrast too. That’s kinda sad why can’t we have nice things 😔 So i like to go find art and fics some times to times. There’s not enough!!! If someone have anything please i am taking almost anything

Oscar grabbing Kirk's Spiky Shield to Stop the Prickly Knight from Bashing him Again, no matter how much it Fricking Hurts...

(I keep Imagining Oscar grabbing Kirk's Shield and Breaking his Shoulder and Arm by Twirling and Spinning Around like Peter does to Miraz in Narnia Prince Caspian Movie...)

Did some more polling on twitter. Heysel was the choice, so I had to make a singular fumo before adding her to the engagement fumo image. I'll also ask on instagram so I can tally.

Can you blame him?

Chaos Servants ⚖️ Darkwraiths

Terminally ill arachnid girl ⚖️ Toothy abyss serpent

(Not even gonna mention Rosaria’s Fingers)

Kirk’s favorite animals are spiders and hedgehogs.
