new clover headcanon unlocked

she eats whole peppercorns like they’re candy

when she and varré get into catty shoving matches her pouch of rainbow peppercorns spills all over the ground and she has to spend the next hour picking each one out of the grass one by one while he smugly looks down on her

#clover #the girls are fightinggggg

it’s really frustrating to see people continue to act like from games have no story. like if that style of storytelling isn’t to your taste & you don’t care, there’s nothing wrong with that, but claiming it doesn’t count as a “real” narrative is laughable and honestly a self report

i know this isn’t a new thing by any means—in my case, my first entry into the series was bloodborne and i was hearing people say the exact same kind of things about it back then. “plot what plot?” or “it’s just a bunch of cryptic nonsense randomly thrown together lmao classic from!” which i accepted at face value……. only to find once i started playing that it did in fact have quite a clear story with incredibly well-defined themes PLUS tons of lore to give flavor to the world and additional context to the story??? where i was having the enjoyment of experiencing a great story PLUS the fun of actively putting that story together piece by piece as i went through it???? imagine my shock.

and yes from’s storytelling is one of the main draws for me, it’s such a wonderful change of pace that fits the medium of interactive media so well!! there’s nothing inherently wrong with the more cinematic style of presentation, obviously. like…. my other main game interest for the past few years is a story that’s famous for having walls of cutscenes so long it pops up a box to warn you beforehand. but good god it’s really so refreshing to be given this intricate web of a story that unfolds & deepens the more you look at it, something that encourages you to engage with it at your own pace and come to your own conclusions. and it DOES take a ton of skill to write that way! i’m tired of people pretending it doesn’t!!!

the aspect of open-endedness is what makes these stories something we can come back to for years and years in the community as new things are uncovered and speculation evolves. every time i go looking into some rabbit hole with elden ring story/lore to see how others read it i’m astonished by how much thought went into constructing it. i love that feeling of someone’s analysis giving context to something i got a vibe for but wasn’t able to put into words! or seeing how someone’s unique perspective results in a completely different reading i never would have thought of! it is a feature not a bug!!!

#it’s wild too because elden ring really feels like the least opaque story they’ve done #despite the ‘web’ so to speak being bigger and more intricate the overarching story itself is conveyed pretty clearly #to be charitable i think it’s partly that a lot of people have so little confidence in their critical skills #there is a certain amount of vulnerability in engaging with fiction that welcomes speculation #because it does end up revealing various aspects of how you see things #and nowadays there’s this goofy idea that there’s ONE correct way to LITERALLY interperet text and deviating from it makes you look dumb #not to mention critical discourse being kneecapped lately by bad faith clickbait andys and braindead storytelling #so then it becomes easier to completely dismiss anything challenging #lest you look like some kind of PRETENTIOUS SNOB FRESHLY ESCAPED FROM YE OLDE PARIS SALON in front of god and everyone egads #but like. that’s what art is all about babey loosen up a little #and then of course there are literally just the bad faith andys milling about but whatever #you play souls games to have challenging battles that push you to your limits i play them to read item descriptions WE ARE NOT THE SAME /j #mamma fucking mia this is so long #(she was in fact a bit pressed)#(she was diagnosed as ANNOYING)
