Girl why do you have to make all the old men so ATTRACTIVEEEEE 😫😫😫

Edwin is so pretty it hurts....

Guess it’s my curse ✨

[bigfatbreak]

For the Draconequus AU (God that's hard to spell) is Discord like a parental figure to Twilight? I can imagine him declaring her princess of chaos shortly after he decided to adopt her :)

their relationship is more complicated than that. after all, Twilight already HAS parents that love her very much and do everything they can to help her.

😭 I know Eri would never get mad like that but I really wanna see her as A5 with Whitney as A1

I don’t know the scenario or how it’d end up that way but it’d be silly

♡ Send me a DOL Character/PC + Expression! - Deeppink-man Expression Meme (OPEN!)

Hi Hi!!! Thank you for the request!!! In all honesty this is quite unique but just to correct, Eri can get angry!! You just need to really really really push her !!! (She gets angry only with me >A<)

But I hope I accomplished what you were imagining!! I had a lot of fun with this so thank you sm for bringing the idea here heheh

funny because it looks like Eri is just finally fed up with Whit and it somehow only makes that bastard hornier hBERBFBJHREF

Romina, Scarlet Rot and God of Rot interpretation? What is the Abyss and what 'stagnation' has to do with Scarlet Rot?

(This is a reply for an ask I've got on my other blog) Anon I am sorry I am THIS late, I swear it was just me deliberately avoiding progressing in the DLC because I didn't want it to end + bad timing :pensive: But thank you for leaving this ask because I did want to discuss her as soon as I've met her!

What Happened:

She WAS a victim on Messmer's tyranny, and shown in the second trailer ( x )! Moreover, she originally appears to be from Belurat; not only this trailer shows Messmer specifically burning it, but also this is the exact previous scene before Romina appears:

So I am getting an impression that originally, these buds appeared in Belurat, and somehow Romina knew to relocate them somewhere else:

+ Also, if anyone here can read Japanese please let me know because I've heard that a more accurate translation would be 'she found a divinity and clung to it' or something alike! Here is the Japanese text:

全てを焼かれた教会で ロミナは異形の神性を見出し 禍々しい、朱い腐敗に縋った

焼け跡に、また蕾が芽吹くように

Abyss and Stagnation in this:

My initial interpretation was that originally, this type of buds was growing IN Belurat, and then what she saved got relocated in Rauh Ruins, but "within the scorched remains" part makes it sound as though their fate was being decided right in the moment of the tragedy! So, somehow, what later became Scarlet Rot appeared within the ruin! After all, Formless Mother is another precedent of a god originating from the tragedy:

But why would a plant-insectoid life sprout within the fire? So, basically, I'll dive into headcanons territory for this post, but hear me out! We are not sure what the 'Abyss' is, however.. what IF, when Messmer gets a bit TOO into using his powers, the power of Abyssal Serpent is capable of opening sort of a 'gateway' into somewhere else, and some kind of horror might escape that 'Abyss'?

+ I need to add that Abyss of the serpent plaguing Messmer and Abyss of the woods tormented by Frenzy are different things though; whereas serpent's Abyss is 深淵 meaning literally an abyss, Woods' Abyss is 奈落 that means Naraka (Hindu Hell)! His serpent is AKTUALY named Base Serpent, but he refers the 'Abyss' in his Stage 2 transition: '光無き、深淵の蛇が'. ( x ) In fact, his dialogue in both English and Japanese original suggests the 'Abyss' is a PLACE, where Base Serpent comes from! The mysterious space without light!

Look I can't help using this meme just deal with it fdsgfdgs So, let's say that Messmer got so unhinged that the gravity of his powers still opened up the Abyss a little, even despite the seal Marika gave to him!

The next interesting thing is that there are no traces of Scarlet Rot in Belurat, despite Romina presumably releasing/creaing it right on that spot! There ARE poisoned swamp, the illness that turns people into fly-men, and even giant Spider Scorpions that are a variant specifically developed because of Romina:

+ they likewise deal regular poison, not Scarlet Rot! Some of them developed the wings as well:

So it is more likely that what Romina allowed to live (to the worse or to the better you decide) was not yet the Scarlet Rot itself, however it developed INTO it later, together with her. But what was freed that day and what left its traces in Belurat, as well as spreading across more of the Shadow Realm with at least two villages full of man-fly sickness, was 'stagnation'!

It is a concept commonly addressed across other Fromsoft's games, specifically the stagnation of water 穢れ (kegare)! Poison and Scarlet Rot are connected through themes of poison AND stagnation of water! It is what becomes a poisonous swamp, one of the most Rot places is literally named Stillwater Cave and all that. Scarlet Rot is a 'stronger' version of the venom that becomes of stagnation!

^ (looking through this ( x ) model view video) Additionally, Romina features not only part of the scorpion but also part of the centipede, and centipedes were used as a symbol of human dregs in Sekiro and Bloodborne!

I've also noticed that Blood of Formless Mother, Scarlet Rot and Deathblight are all connected by shared themes of plantlife and spontaneoutsly sprouting winged insects! With the cursed blood, flowers quite literally grow from it and flies spawn from impurities within festering blood swamps. Deathblight are literally roots with multiple flies spawning along them + often getting to fly free too. Scarlet Rot IS associated with flowers and butterflies, and whereas Malenia herself never got insectoid wings (since wings of Goddes of Rot ARE the butterflies, like stated by Romina's incantation), her knights did:

(Close look by Zullie the Witch ( x ) as I've never took a picture)

These three scourges feel like three ugly siblings to me fsdhhfds Needless to mention that Blood Oath, Scarlet Rot and general poison incantations are crammed into the same category, and Death ones aren't here only because they're sorceries!

More interestingly, in Rauh Ruins we find not only Scarlet Rot, but also the Bloodfiends (so, the Formless Mother guys) AND Deathblight:

^ I forgot to take the picture as a proof that the Dancing Lion in Rauh uses Deathblight, so here is screenshot from this ( x ) video of battling it! There are NO Deathroots anywhere near its arena, however it summons Basylisks in the second stage and deals Deathblight damage itself! Divine beasts, additionally, are Belurat thing too!

So, we have all three of these 'affiliations' in Rauh Ruins, giving a strong impression that it is full of Belurat survivors! Whereas the man-flies sickness is found here too, Romina, Bloodfiends and death-dealing Dancing Lion all feel like they've went separate Pokemon Eevelution from the same initial 'stagnation' concept that is the sourse of fly sickness fhhsdgfds I think that either 1) it is exactly what I just joked about, and stagnation is able to naturally develop into one of these stronger "branches" over time or 2) it develops into something specific under influence of an outer god; Deathblight doesn't need 'Prince of Death' since Outer God of Death IS a thing!

Survivors of Belurat here found their affiliations, initially getting afflicted by the "clean" form of it, fly sickness Romina allowed to escape and live!

^ So yeah @ second anon, I do also think that Romina in Rauh guards what is left of her civilisation! Such as one of like, two Dancing Lions and other Hornsent that unfortunately got manfly sickness too! Except, she is not antagonistic to the Scarlet Rot or sees it as her tragedy, but on the contrary: she sympathised with it!

I know it sounds more like a fairytale than an solid theory, but my impression is that a lot of 'waste' goes into the Abyss space and supposedly should have been burnt by the Base Serpent forever! Not as something inherently evil, but just a natural part of the course of life! Eiglay is the God-Devouring serpent, too! Both of them serve as the forces that ensure everything and everybody meets their end eventually, they might even be related! Again, Dark Souls for one had ten Primordial Serpents! We know three here (Base Serpent, Winged Serpent and God-Devouring Serpent) but it could be still a throwback like Fromsoft loves doing!

I think maybe someone, at some point, believed that living forever was a better idea and might have "killed" Base Serpent and Eiglay both! As we know from Rykard's last words though, 'serpent never dies' and he probably was right!

^ Whereas Eiglay had to grow back from a tiny snake again, Base Serpent settled in Messmer's body being so tiny that it could curl behind his eye! Both needed to recover their former power, so whatever eventually slipped in the Abyss was free to persist, rot further and escape back into the living world given the chance!

+ bonus:

Trina ends up having a lot of petals and flowers as part of her body, not unlike Romina, whereas Miquella had insectoid wings at the moment of being kidnapped! The same trademarks of the 'stagnation' again!

I questioned whether it was just Crucible at first, since it also features flowers and wings! In the DLC we've learned that the Fell God himself was connected with the Crucible (Furnace Visage) and Radagon has his red hair due to the curse of his Fire Giants (Giant's Red Braid) 🤔 But.. crucibles are MANY things. It is also horns, spikes, feathered wings, scales, you name that! A LOT of aspects of organic life and not just these two! So I think the Crucible Curse is safe to stay within Morgott and Mohg, and this more likely refers to Miquella himself getting infected at some point! Whether it was having sucked Scarlet Rot out of Freya's wound, or napping in the Haligtree that was getting slowly scarlet-rotten, or both! Sure there are no traces of it left when he becomes a God, but Trina was discarded before that of course! Alternatively, he was a victim of stagnation himself due to not being able to age physically. He, himself, was a lot like Scarlet Buds that are "never to bloom". Endless child state of a body and buds that can't bloom are like eggs that can't hatch but will go terribly bad over time.. what is MORE stagnant?

Who is the God of Rot and why the pink color?

Another side of Romina is a tail of a scorpion, and the giant variant of Spider Scorpions is said to be the result of her actions! At the same time, God of Rot itself was scorpion-like!

I think this makes it... oddly coincidential, that God of Rot is a scorpion at least partially, whereas scorpions are native for the Shadow Realm AND were important animals for Belurat! Like I said before, Belurat strangely has no signs of Scarlet Rot for a place where Romina presumably created/unleashed it!

So, maybe rather than God of Rot already existing as is, it received a particular form in the 'outside' world! I'd say the same for Formless Mother, but her form is ABSENSE of form kind of fdhshdfs Maybe 'receiving the character' is a better way to describe it! Formless Blood, Scarlet Rot and most likely Deathblight didn't exist "outside" but developed from the shared source, and their gods (at least two of them) were born thanks to people! God of Rot might have manifested from a giant scorpion Romina took special care of, or a scorpion who got the 'divine' energy for another reason since giant variants are still not JUST in Rauh! Again, like how Formless Mother manifested in the shadow of a corpse of someone else! The Scarlet Rot became a thing thanks to Romina, developing within her over time!

Again, this is just my idea that Outer Gods are "born" in "our" world rather than simply exist as is, especially since 'outer' is just a type of gods meant to be discerned from Marika's family and who are like Lovecraftian mythos! I just think so because the scorpions connection is a bit too coincidential! It is not necessary!

Eiglay is a God-Devouring Serpent, not Demigod-Devouring Serpent, however, so I think in either case her purpose had more to do with not letting guys like this to ruin the world! Things just must die eventually, not endlessly exist via endless rot/rebirth cycle not allowing for any truly new life to sprout. It makes it double awesome that Base Serpent, and maybe even Eiglay herself, are connected with the fire element as fire itself is ALSO not just an evil force of destruction! It is meant to help the nature to "clean" so it doesn't rot; this power simply must be kept in check to not burn SO much that there is nothing left to be born from the ash and ruin *looks at Frenzied Flame*

Lesbian flag colors joke aside, it seems that color pink is a mark of lacking the master and/or the capacity to bloom! I do think that blooming is a thing only a Demigod is able to do! +remember that Millicent is a unique sprout of Malenia, carrying more of her signs as a Demigod than other girls!

Orange/red is the color of 'true' Scarlet Rot, and you could see even God of Rot itself was orange from Scorpion's Stinger look! It craves the buds that will bloom to grow stronger and increase, similarly to how Formless Mother craves wounds!

+ I also think that Bloodflame is the mark of more "perfect" form of the same concept similarly, as it becomes self-cleaning this way! It similarly could only be accomplished by getting a Demigod (Mohg) involved, whereas regular Bloodfiends are using just the blood itself! Then, Deathblight was not receiving the big roots as we could witness by Dancing Lion in Rauh, without getting a Demigod (Godwyn) involved! The cringe triplets........

________________________

So in the conclusion, Romina reached out for the 'twisted divinity' she witnessed somewhere in the middle of the ruin of everything she knew before, similarly to how Bloodfiends chose to revere the 'twisted deity' found in a corpse of their ancestor as they've lost everything! These two affinities have connotation with strong misery, and it is additionally confirmed by how Millicent can only bloom if she experiences the pain of betrayal! Some sinister power only appears within a lot of pain and death, but on itself it is just "flowers and wings", and a concrete God is born in the place it appears at, depending on the circumstances. It needs the miserable person as much as the miserable person needs it; a call is nothing without the receiver. Together, they define more specific purpose and affinity for it to continue existing and poisoning everything!

...not 100% sure that Deathblight is just as similar, because how do you birth death? Maybe it similarly came to be through the first person to die (Nito, you?????)

P.S.: I'll be damned if the water Dancer Fairy didn't originate from Rauh and simply freaked out upon seeing Romina telling the God of Rot "may you find your worth in the waking world" fsdhfhds

[drenched-in-sunlight]

My one Elden Ring headcanon is that the reason that Miquella picked Radahn, and not Godwyn, as the kindest demigod is because Godwyn was allergic to horses, and Miquella didn't know that and just thought he didn't like horses. Radahn met the requirements of not hating albinaurics(assumed from friendly rivalry with Gaius), liking horses, and probably something else basic like not torturing people or something like that.

i know this is kinda meant to be funny but i do take it seriously that Miquella's wish in his childhood is not really sth mature and well-thought out at all 😭 and Radahn instead of being a responsible older brother and putting a stop to that, just run with it (and as i said, not without outside influence, but still) is really why it blows up in everyone's face later.

and tbh? imo Miquella's naive idolization kinda dooms Radahn to continue be a mere copycat of others as well. instead of growing out of it and finding his own thing and becoming his own unique self, he's stuck in a perpetual boyhood of wanting to be like his idols, mirroring Miquella's own curse.

that being said, i also think Miquella isn't completely false in not picking Godwyn as the kindest demigod out there. living under one roof and growing up with him as older brother, Miquella must know more than anyone Godwyn is the true scion of the old Order. Radahn could admire that same old Order, sure, but he is not of it the way Godwyn the Golden is (which is one of many inspiration i have to draw this)

funny thing is i think Miquella can sniff out that beneath all that sweet and nice image Godwyn has, he's a warrior that will stop at nothing to protect the old Order, yet fails to see the exact same thing in his own Father. and it makes sense! why would he see that when Father is always so supportive of his ideas? why would he see anything wrong when Father taught him Tactical Air Strike 101 when he simply wanted to heal his sister? why would he see anything wrong when Father encourage him to hang out more with Radahn, his other son, not Godfrey's son?

see? it's really a picture somewhere there isn't it...

but it's probably the horse thing as well afksjjdkf

SCAR SCAR SCAR SCAR SCAR SCAR

Sorry I'll be normal now I miss him too

[drawcupidsbow]

can we collectively agree on a ship name for sif isa and loop. sloopis. isiloop. sifzaloop. Which one is it guys

[chloesimaginationthings]

THANK YOU FOR DRAWING HIM !!!! Ik I said it in tags already but I was literally anticipating your Arnold design, your art is my favourite thing to see and I view your designs as canon <3333

YALL ARE SO SWEET TYSM IM GLAD YOU LIKE HIS DESIGN!! 💜💜

[ingravinoveritas]

I love your tags for David and Michael. David is my ultimate androgynous inspiration.

Aww, thank you so much, Anon! I'm so glad you are enjoying my tags for David and Michael and decided to let me know. I really appreciate it! ❤️

I can definitely see David as an androgynous inspiration, for sure. He is beautiful in a way that the great poets and artists in history would spend a lifetime trying to describe. But what I really love is how both David and Michael are able to embody androgynous qualities, yet in completely different ways.

The best way I can think to describe it is that when Michael does it, it's like he's aggressively both masculine and feminine at the same time (which is why I like to use the word genderfuck to describe Michael's androgyny). But when David does it, he's aggressively neither at the same time--not overly feminine or masculine, but just some sort of gorgeous gender chaotic creature floating above the binary somewhere and occasionally gracing us with his presence.

An example of what I mean for Michael (and one of my favorite looks of his ever) is when he played Mrs. Robinson on TSAM in 2019 and looked so masculine visually, but then gave off such powerful feminine energy at the same time, and neither one was diminished by the other:

And an example (or three) for David would be him in the kilt at the 2024 BAFTAs, him wearing a hairband on a red carpet a few years ago, and this picture of him in a plain white shirt and jeans (and everything about how he looked while playing Richard II, of course):

So yes, very much here for androgynous inspiration, 100%. I love as well that we've gotten to see David become increasingly comfortable in his skin and explore that part of him more and more in recent years, and I'm hopeful that we'll continue to see it even more as time goes on...

Once in a while i remember Doras gen goal include 4 children and i honestly cant see Pandora as a mom of four 😂 and adopted?? I can see her having a oopsie baby but choosing to adopt a baby is idk so not her?

I can see her maybe taking a child under her wing if idk maybe she killed their parents for yaoko and she feels bad or maybe she finds one in need, honestly im so curious to see how youre gonna make that work out

Honestly, I’m really looking forward to that part of her story 😂 Pandora is so bad with men that none of them would even get close enough to give her an oopsie baby. And with how things are right now, a baby would have her running for the hills all the way to the other side of the world 🤣🤣 But who knows, maybe in the future and with the right partner 😭

I think for the Pandora we have now, adopting a kid would be the last thing on her mind if she had the chance 🤣 If it were up to her, she'd probably find them a family, and if she had no other choice, well… her parents always wanted more kids, so she'd just hand them over 🫠 But her? Taking care of a human being? I can’t even give her a pet because all she wants to do is gamble and punch people 😭

Do you read bugtopia

on and off but not super often. I heard there was a reboot recently?? i follow the artist for their succubus and angel comics tho

[demonwebs-a]

this might be a hot take, but i feel like following duplicates of a characters shouldn't be as big of a deal as some people make it out to be bc every relationship ends up being so different and explores different facets your muse

[hey-its-danny]

Is the current videogame a story driven one or like, a gacha? First I've heard of it but it looks so good....

-🦜

story rich gacha but its a good one compared to others that are similar w the open world thing. its made by kuro games who also made punishing gray raven

lots of ppl (you can count on it mostly/always being hyv dick riders on twt) like to shit on wuwa for dumb reasons but as someone who played a lot of games (not that much gacha bc i dont like them), i think its actually a good one gameplay, environment, music and story wise (so far)

i just rlly love the vibe bc im a sucker for fantasy mixed with modern/urban elements and amazing music. also actually challenging combat/enemies here and there to make it more fun and the whole resonance/frequencies thing is pretty cool imo

roaming around the world, some places reminded me of nier (the series is one of my most fav games) and now w the new city i just arrived and forgor the name of, it gave me altissia flashbacks AHAHAH (its like a mixture of FFIX alexandria and FFXV altissia for me, idk but i like how it makes me feel so nostalgic)

also can only speak for m rover since i chose him immediately but boy is the prettiest gacha protag frfr also i absolutely love the enemy and character designs. very unique and cool

anw dropping some pretty places bc i love taking screenies and im rambling too much rn

[crowliphale]

Bestie…I need to talk…(NOT SPOILER I SWEAR 🙏🏻)

But…

The song: Talia from Ride the Cyclone. Jorshen coded?? I need u to listen to it and pls tell me u see it too🙏🏻🙏🏻 pls tell me u see Jorshen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very funky song!! I'm still not quite far enough into Icebound to see the full scope of how it relates back to Jorshen, but I can absolutely see it coming from Jornir in a scenario where he's equally crazy about Taishen 💭
