Ah Yes, I Love Oscar of Astora from Dark Souls 2 and is Definitely Not from the First Game...

(Do the People from GameRant even know that Oscar is from Dark Souls 1/Remastered and Not 2??????)

"Feeble cursed one! My carefully embossed metal evades your pen!" — Straid, probably.

Studying the great sorcerer. I'll get you yet, Straid! All soft edges except your sharp claws…

LOST BASTILLE (x)

[dykeishheart]

Dark Souls 2 had such a clear and heavy thematic throughline about the pointlessness and waste of empire, the idea that no amount of cruelty carved into land nor flesh, no amount of nobility or valor cast in statues or in song could make a king's name withstand the weight of time. Gwyn might be the lord of cinder, but the people of Drangleic don't even know what that means. Izalith might have created the flame of chaos, but now her city is gone beneath a mountain of ice and called by a new name. Anor Londo is gone. Lordran is gone. Astora, Carim, Thoruland, all gone. Olaphis, the land of Straid's time has come and gone on the same tract of land as Drangleic. The Sunken King, the Iron King, the Ivory King, these men are all gone to such an extent that their names are forgotten even by those who still walk their lands. Drangleic's own king is fading away, and the only remnants of his legacy will be the corpses of giants and crumbled fortresses.

And of the ones who remain in these places, there are only echoes of past lives. Jailers continue to guard the Bastille that has long gone defunct. Miners and work drivers continue to mill around the base of Earthen Peak even though they've long since lost any reason to work. Empty sets of armor still guard over ruined castles because no one exists to tell them they can stop. The life has left them, all that keeps them going is the work they were given so long ago, which has long since lost all meaning to anyone except these empty husks. It's the bleakest form of existence. So many lives were reduced to so little, and for what? The empires of kings, built by the hands of countless men, will all one day be empty.

🍋🌻 My Favorite Dark Souls ( 1,2,3 ) NPCs 🌻🍋

"But does she give lap dances?" had me in stitches! I know you're not going to (and I'm not asking you to), but I seriously need a video compilation of all the bosses in the Souls series with you rating them on their sex potential because holy shit your commentary would be a scream!

I’m a low talker, so I’d sooner make an OnlyFans. XD 

I did half-jokingly discuss making a (non-monsterfucker-related, SFW) review channel with a friend, but at that time I had a lisp so it wouldn���t have worked out. 

Now, I’m not sure if YouTube would let me monetize videos where I discuss which fictional monsters I’d take to Pound Town and what I’d do to them there. Or respectfully discuss why other people are attracted to characters. Or even just make inappropriate comments. 

But it is really, really fun. So here’s another list:

Crystal Golem: Sometimes a boyfriend can be a man-shaped pretty rock.

Darkwraith: They have goth boys in this game. :D

Felkin the Outcast: He would not be an outcast if we could see his pretty face. Probably.

Four Kings: I don’t know how to cuddle this character, but I damn well would try.

Grand Archives Scholar: Wax on, whacks off.

Hollow Thief: Wears a hood and has glowing red eyes.

Iron Golem: Broad shoulders, metallic, inhumanely huge. Can’t go wrong with any of that.

Jester Thomas: Puffy pants aside… Masked clown. (Clowns should just go bottomless. It’d be funnier.)

Knights in general: Particularly Looking Glass and Horace the Hushed. Latter’s thick.

Laurentius: He’s just sitting there. Menacingly.

Manikin: Lacking a head means the best solution is giving head.

Manscorpion Tark: He’d probably make me carry our offspring on my back, though. :(

Mimic: TONGUE.

Straid of Olaphis: Just look at him.

Titanite Demon: Horned, naked, and metallic.

Yhorm the Giant: Big glowy.

So, how long was I sat petrified… Long enough for the old kingdom to have crumbled, I see.

Bearer of the Curse: We're playing Scrabble it's a nightmare

Lucatiel: Scrabble? Scrabble's fun!

Bearer: When you're playing with Straid it's not. He uses words like "iridium" and I put down "pig"

Improvise! Adapt! Overcome!

I wanted to see what eye color Navlaan had, and to see what kind of hairdo as well. However, I have no idea how to rip models from consol games, so I spent a long while trying to perfect camera angles. Conclusion:

Navlaan has pale, light blue eyes; very close to stonewashed blue

He is also bald

BONUS: Straid’s hair is a classic buzz cut, like this

That moment in time when the Primordial Serpents manifested themselves as Straid of Olaphis...
