I just want to take him and cut those horns' ends, it looks so uncomfortable for our goatman, maybe he would deal better with Frenzy if his horns weren't poking him like that lmao

Libra's Horns

When looking at Libra's model and official art, I noticed (yet again) that his horns grow in weird way- basically into his ears and I started wondering if it's just for the sake of design or another symbolic stuff like the rest.

He seeks balance, enlightment, yet such design choice usually means that character is DEAF to important stuff (the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil thing"). And in real life, those kinds of horns are removed from goats' heads to prevent injuries/death (those horns would absolutely pierce brain if they grew deeper).

I take it could mean couple of things:

While he sees equality and balance in his doing, he's deaf to consequences of his actions. He sees Night as true equalizer yet cannot hear cries of those hurt by it. He sees other Nightlords joining the cause yet tales of how most of them ended up that way through desperation/force (the only exception being Caligo and even she's just in for the sake of wanting to see something new). Is it truly good to let, quite frankly, harmful force eat away at the world just for the sake of "equality"? Isn't it basically the easy way out? Instead of trying to fix problems of the world (creating gold for everyone), you just hope some miracle force will fix it for you (Night's Tide taking everything)? Why not uplift the suffering instead of just dragging them down with their abusers?

He's deaf to his own possible demise; eyes are central point for Frenzy Flame, which he married with Order, yet he's not immune to it. And he's pretty weak to holy itself. He cannot see that while yes, he is able to "marry" those forces, he cannot truly control them; other Nightlords are immune/highly resistant to elements they use (Fulghor being strong against Holy, Adel having high fire/lightning resistance). They are far away from seemingly being really understood by him. And it basically kills him- his horn eyes give him better vision, but also bring him closer to death, just like Order/Frenzy used by Nightfarers.

Idk if any of this made sene to any of you or if I'm stupid, I just really like Libra and all theories/stuff about him, kjgjhgjh, this goat is just amazing.

I would like to read your takes on it and maybe read someone smarter than me say something about it,

Like I said, I'm not smart but was wandering a lot about those horns; they just irk me.

And thanks for more stuff to read, I love it.

I was doing Everdark Caligo with some homies, the team was: Wylder, Guardian and Revenant (me).

And our Wylder was getting real crash-out, when he realized that Guardian was doing some meme/social experiment/challenge "Magic Bird Build" (basically using spells instead of playing character normally). I played with dude so much, I was used to his antics, but Wylder was not and he was constantly baffled, whenever Guardian did something- aske if we have starlight shards, explained his relics, asked if we have any good staffs, it was just full on mental breakdown.

We defeated Caligo, but it was quite the comedy just sitting there and listening to our man just going through five stages of grief in span of 45 minutes.

Also, why there is "caligosexual" in tags, did I miss something.

Me (Pole) with Henryk (he reminds me of one fuck-ass polish king):

My favourite thing about Fromsoft whipping out random foreign names for their characters is that they sound cool and mysterious to English speaking people (probably Japanese speaking people too but I cannot comment on that) but like... I know several Marikas and they are all very mean 60+ women. Margits are also 60+ women (yes, Margit is an exclusively feminine name) but they are a 50/50 on the meanness thing.

Jolán is easily the worst because!!! The two (2) Joláns I knew through my life have been some of the worst people I've ever met. Good god.

(Also not canon but Djura is referred to as 'Gyula' in several older documents about Bloodborne [idk if it's just a Fextra thing] and like... yeah... that's a Gyula, alright.)

Thing that will confuse future historians.

Nightfarers at the dinner table

In Hold we can see table fully ready for dinner/lunch and usually either Duchess or Raider will sit there. Of course, table is probably fully stuffed 24/7 because all the gays Nightfarers are too edgy to sit at specific time and eat together.

But I cannot stop imagining how would dinner together look like so here is my take.

Wylder, coming from nomadic tribe and being wandering warrior himself, seems like dude who just eats with his hands; why bother with cutlery when you have perfectly good hands? Iron Menial and Duchess wouldn't like it, but hey, at least he's eating. Seeing his background, he probably would enjoy herbal tea, seasonal forage and good hot soup with his pita bread (a good number of soups can be made from foraging!).

Duchess, on the other hand, spending time in more high-end place in her youth would have perfect manners, know what every single fork or spoon is for and looking in horror at her companions eating like poor people. Would not comment on it though, she would just be happy, they are eating together. While she would like more sophisticated dishes like roasted venison with wine older than her brother. But... she would still miss childhood treats, like pita bread. And would try to recreate them with Iron Menial. And would absolutely steal bread from Wylder, he doesn't mind, it's just a sibling thing.

Guardian, as human-bird, has no teeth- normally, birds like hawks or eagles just use their talons/hooked beaks to tear meat off the prey or just eat corpse whole. But Guardian has clawed hands so he would probably just tear his meal with his hands, until he would notice how Duchess is not happy with everyone eating like pigs, so he would take time to learn how to properly use all the cutlery. Probably would mostly eat meats, like real birds do, and to horror of other Nightfarers would eat HUGE amount of food (birds have crop- organ which can store food before digestion). He needs additional energy for the Night! Would make sure everyone eaten and is full.

Ironeye seems like guy who does not like eating with others, but would agree just to keep peace. Uses cutlery like most people, eating as fast, as he can so he doesn't have to socialize. As assasin having to take care of himself, he wouldn't really have any favourite food, he seems like person who eats everything that he can. Maybe he would stay some more, if Raider was talking about his training routine, after all, our archer is too much into bears, as we all know.

Recluse also uses cutlery in normal, proper manner; after all, you have to keep hands clean for any medical procedure (Recluse is basically medic in this place). Would eat quietly, eating some forest fleece like wild berries, roots, herbal tea or just water. No need to trouble yourself with any fancy dish, unless you have good occassion. Would probably create special meal plans for Nightfarers suffering affliction or sickness. She would try to teach Guardian all the fancy mannerism, but would give up and taks Revenant with it.

Speaking of Revenant, she strucks me as another person with perfect manners; she might be a doll, but doll from great family! While she doesn't need to eat, she would agree to sit down with others and at least try to taste something. Would probably end up remembering Chloe's favourite food and getting all angsty about it, until seeing chance to call Wylder pig because he speaks with mouth full. Duchess might be too nice to not call out anyone, but Revenant has her standards.

Raider spent many of his years as pirate, on the sea so he would not bother with cutlery, his hands are good enough. Also, probably would be used to dried, long-lasting foods, fish and preserves, as travelling far on the sea doesn't allow for variety of foods. So, he would absolutely take advantage of the Hold and eat to his content, drinking heavily (the second probably more so to forget about past's mistakes). Would probably somehow make everyone drunk by challenging them to drinking contest or just being himself.

Executor is fusion of two people, Crucible and Painter. He can eat with both western and asian cutlery, it does not matter to him. He would eat slowly, enjoying his food, eating balanced meal to fully restore his energy. Might be more leaning into typical LB foods- pickled turtle meat, exalted flesh from bears, sweet berries. Would not talk, but be engaged with any topic at the table.

And Iron Menial is just acting like grandma, asking if anyone wants more food lol

Tbh Elemer hunting people for their Bell Bearings is so interesting. He killed many "instructors and merchants", "instructors" referring to people like Seluvis, Rogier, Gowry, Corhyn, Igon etc. So, those who have magics and skills to share!

Like, as soon as you accumulate enough skills or wares that could be shared with the others you get a distinct Bell Bearing like a Cutie Mark in MLP, so people go like "Looool be careful now or Bell Bearing Hunter will find you XD" like some sort of scary urban legend (except instead of "legend" it is actually known to happen). And they be like "oh shut up he was imprisoned and executed long ago. I think" sfddsgssdgsd

Also, having accumulated SO many other unique practices of his victims, Elemer still prefers to use Eochaid-only skills. Keeping his collection pristine and untouched like a true collector I see 💀

Where would be the best place for Libra and Hunter to live together? I have so many places possible but idk what to choose. Alternative versions of Midra's Manse/Queen's Bedchambers would fit thematically to Libra, on the other hand, alternative version of Iosefka's Clinic/Hunter's Dream would also be great.

Help me.

[funpolishfox]

Stop giving me ideas for fanfictions, I already have enough.

Still thinking about Duchess and the Nightfarers she would have to remain concerned about. Wylder is not the only one who will most likely die after the Night is over and Roundtable frees her allies. Ironeye, like other assassins of the Fellowship, is supposed to be "disposed of" after the Night, and Revenant might simply perish after completing her revenge on the very concept of being a vengeful spirit.

And Duchess might craft a plan to save Wylder in her Remembrance, yeah, even though she will never learn whether it even worked and has only a hope (very Melina-like situation). But how will she make sure the other two stay alive? Her doubts might be not exclusive to just blood relation.. Friends are important too. She might accept her own miserable fate, but agreeing to sacrifice the others is a different story. And whereas Revenant is (probably) alright to never discover the taste of new life and new family, very unlike Guardian, and would bonk Duchess for even thinking to make a decision for her... Ironeye, clearly, discovers that he would like to live, actually.

I don't know, there are just so many strings to pull for him to choose from, whether the discussion involves Wylder or not. Duchess is a huge squishy softie that has little concern for her fate but lives of people dear to her are a whole different story. Ironeye could legit pressure on this side of her. Addressing how he would rather live... and with who... And how could she break the heart of someone claiming that even in the already extremely unlikely scenario that he will survive after the end of Night, it will be a torture without her? It might even be not a full lie, either. If anything, her doubts regarding stopping the Night to save people she loves could remind him of Isolde, so how could the warm feelings he'd proclaim be all fake?

The thing gives me the vibe of "he tried to lie for his own sake but to his surprise it turned out the lie was true"

I'm starting to write about Libra x Hunter and I have brainrot about it and want to yap to someone what I want to do, like I have so many ideas and want to tell them someone, but everyone thinks it's too weird, help me.

Like, I want to know if Hunter obsessing over Libra will be cool or too much.

[funpolishfox]

We don't know anything about said "Master" so I'm doing crazy theory: It's Marika herself. She puts Nightfarers in Roundtable Hold, place originally meant for her Tarnished and graces are still active (although, not usable to their full potential because of Night). Since Erdtree got fucked by Night, she might not be prisoner and actually active to some degree.

Gang, who do we think the formless master that Duchess mentions is?

I was planning out my fanfiction and started wondering- which FromSoft protagonist is the strongest one? And I'm talking about one who is at the end of their game, all leveled up, after defeating all bosses, maybe even on NG+ cycle.

Like I said, I'm talking end-game stats, all possible bosses defeated, after ending. I'm curious about your possible reasonings and choices.

(Added all the boys just for fun)

Yesterday, I was trying to end Recluse's remembrance and was fighting Heolstor, run was going great, I got some busted spells, holy stuff, my teammates were doing also amazing so with no problem, we got to the Night Lord...

Fight was going smoothly until random (which was Wylder) got downed and they my friend (Ironeye) got downed too.

Heolstor was in his second phase, only 20% health and I had to LOCKED IN. So, I locked in, was shooting spells and dodging like crazy, I basically hold my own until 5% health, before getting downed.

AND THEN OUR WYLDER GOT UP, BECAUSE HE HAD WENDING GRACE, REVIVED MY FRIEND AND DIED AGAIN.

My friend tried to revive me, but lock-on fucked them and they died too.

I'm still salty.

[funpolishfox]

For some reason, I think shipping Hunter from Bloodborne and Libra from Nightreign would be hilarious.

Person who saw so much horrors beyond human comprehension that it doesn't bother them anymore with creature who gets mad by one Vyke's Spear AOW sounds funny. Also, couple with anger issues <3 (Hunter's solution in life is violence and Libra always chooses violence if ticked off).

And I might have a thing for "monster hunter x monster" ships.

And I need some Libra smut and Hunter is probably the only person who can sleep with him and not get madnessed into oblivion.

[funpolishfox]

I think, I might write something about Libra. Should I post it on AO3 or here?
