Some first year: wheres your scary boyfriend at?

James: probably off doing scary boyfriend things.

Regulus, in James dorm, giggling and kicking his feet as Peter tells him what James said about him while he was drunk the night before: 🤭🥰

I might sound crazy, but do any other autistic people get really intense secondhand embarrassment? Like SUPER uncomfortable border lining angry? I get it a LOT with people who act super exaggeratedly quirky and different, and it's unfortunate because I know that is a lot of neurodivergent people because we don't go by societal norms and expectations, but it makes me so embarrassed and angry for no reason and it's so contradicting 😭 how do I stop this.

I'm really good at remembering to share things here

Been re-cooking and oooolder character to use for my frenzy ending run, and she turned into an ex-finger maiden, Rhian (hilariously her OG name is Ranni which, would be a lil awkard now in an Elden Ring setting LOL...)

Info dump under the cut...feel free to send questions if anyone's curious for more I feel like talking about her now

As a child Rhian was a refugee among a small group who sought the shores of Limgrave for safety, and unluckily their camp was raided by a small Demihuman Frenzy Cult (kinda inspired by the flame of frenzy village on the Weeping Peninsula where a good bunch of demihumans lurk nearby)

Her people were subjected to the Frenzy Flame or otherwise outright slaughtered, but Rhian and a few other captives were to be set up for a special kind of sacrificial ritual.

Rhian is touched by the flame, but the ritual is interrupted by a noble house that was headed toward Castle Morne who intervene and save her before the worst happens and they take her back home with them to figure out what to do with her.

The Tylluan noble house is newly established in Liurnia, made up of a family of Tarnished whose youngest daughter, Ewin, has been called by grace. They pretty much make this their entire personality from then forth, and with the coming of Rhian (and her and Ewin getting along quite nicely) it was an obvious sign this was destiny written out clear and true for the girls.

From then on Rhian is raised adjacent to the noble house through their own church to begin her life toward the honorable duties of serving as Ewin's finger maiden. She doesn't know how to feel about this, but is obviously indebted to their kindness...right?

As they grew up alongside one another, lovingly raised into their destinies by House Tylluan, Rhian and Ewin became close friends

...with a little "it's complicated" sprinkled in....

They get close, perhaps by obligation (or rebellion) to their role as tarnished and maiden...or maybe they really did enjoy the other's company in a lonely life that has been planned out for them.

Rhian gets comfortable in her role as finger maiden and accepts, even welcomes, her duties in assisting Ewin to become Elden Lore and restore the lands between (for House Tylluan yippee)

It eventually is revealed, however, the true Destiny a maiden must uphold if her tarnished is to become Elden Lord...the final act of burning your maiden, to burn the thorns away at the mountain top, to gain access to the Erdtree.

Despite their bond, Ewin seems to agree to this, albeit solemnly, and just like that the veil is lifted.

Betrayed, terrified, and angry, Rhian rejects this and escapes.

A spark had lit, one that had been germinating quietly within her as she grew into a lie where safety and love was nothing more than a fabrication of her way of life. She had been rescued from a fate of slaughter, only to be raised like the finest livestock for an even more grandiose slaughter.

Perhaps that Spark within her was right. The one she pushed deep down when her ruminating doubts pillaged her mind. The one that occasionally surfaced when it all seemed wrong. Too good to be true.

Perhaps it truly was unfair. To live is to suffer, after all. But it could stop. It could all stop for good...no more suffering.

That spark, that fear and pain in this poor soul whose life was ripped from her for selfish means, since becomes a distant light. Rhian follows it, seeks it like an old friend. Wears that friend on her shoulder, the one friend who gets it.

To live is to suffer. But it's her life now.

the real reason the kingdom died

[wraith-caller]

My totally unfounded hopes regarding Messmer:

He's not a heretic, he's a fanatic. Maybe he's even part of the reason snake and flame and dragon communion are blasphemy, because he used them all in such extremist acts. He talks to "mother", presumably Marika at this point, as though he's disappointed in her decision to allow Tarnished to rule. And someone(it may be Messmer but idk if the voices are the same, I'm bad at that haha) specifies "Those stripped of gold shall meet death in the embrace of Messmer's flame." If Messmer was especially hateful of the Order, why target Tarnished, who often choose not to ally with it as seen in the recusants and the bloody fingers? One is supposed to become lord, and if you want the Order to remain lordless, then sure it makes sense to kill as many as you can. But there's a preoccupation with the LACK of grace and gold, not a distaste for gold itself. I think that he's disappointed in Marika's decision to give the graceless lordship over the Order, that he's sort of a purist who sees this act, and maybe others Marika has committed, as heresy. We know she sought to examine her faith based on echoes from Melina. ("I declare mine intent, to search the depths of the Golden Order. Through understanding of the proper way, our faith, our grace, is increased. Those blissful early days of blind belief are long past. My comrades; why must ye falter?") This kind of questioning would be seen as absurd and even harmful to a fanatic. What need is there to examine anything, if you are so fervently sure the ones you follow are right?

We have every flavor of blasphemy and anti-GO sentiment already in the form of the other demigod children, save Morgott, accepting and revering the Order and Erdtree for what it is. So it'd be an interesting addition to this group to see someone on the opposite end of the heresy spectrum, someone so fervently devoted to the Order that he's decided even the one in charge doesn't know what she's talking about. Similar to the way extremists in any religion or political group may branch off and decide the person in power is getting it all wrong, that they aren't harsh enough(which is really saying something given Marika's, uh, proclivities), Messmer is fed up with what he begins to see as heresy from Marika and goes full tilt fanatic.

Some other interesting notes that help support this reading are kind of little and probably a reach but hey this is all based on nothing anyway so why stop now? There's a similarity between the confessor's insignia and Messmer's spear(saw it in this twitter thread). Confessors are Tarnished who hunt down other Tarnished that have strayed from the righteous path. Given they're Tarnished, Messmer is unlikely to care much for them, but the preoccupation with the integrity of one's faith and the role of executioner would be the points of intersection between these two.

There's also this, which supports the idea of Messmer as a fervent executioner, something noticed by this twitter user. The spears in Messmer's arena align quite well with whatever the giants have been impaled with.

Of course, this is all based on like ten seconds of character info from a 3 minute trailer, and it'll all likely be dashed to pieces with the next little breadcrumb we're given. Still fun to pretend I know what I'm doing in the meanwhile!!

fucking thank you for mentioning that black and brown and indigenous bloggers (esp trans women) on this website have been nuked since 2016 and nobody gave a shit. this website has been racist and transmisogynistic for years and 99% of the ""community"" on here didn't give a fuck until now.

an indigenous child is dead. transfem bloggers are harassed. nobody cares about that. the white trans community on this site cares about funny jokes and infighting instead of protecting us. avery deserves better. nex deserved better. children are being murdered and people have decided to strip every ounce of racial and transmisogynistic intent from the current wave of violence in favor of jokes.

when do we get to be a part of our own communities? when do we get the support and protection and righteous anger from other trans people? im so fucking tired.

honestly? ive been talking about this stuff for years, and the only reason it got attention is because of what happened to rita being so public, those posts never got the attention they should've and that doesnt surprise me in the slightest.

we arent a part of this "community", we wouldnt be trampled on and forgotten if we were actually important. and whenever we make our own spaces they take that over too. it doesnt matter what happens to us in the process. i hate the performative bullshit i hate the jokes i hate the ignorance i hate that theres nothing left for us.

the only times we're fucking noticed is when somebody murders us and EVEN THEN thats giving too much credit. white people get to joke about this shit while we have to live every day accepting that we'll be left behind. with no way of finding others like us to even feel just a smidgen of comfort. you look at the tag for black trans women before this photomatt bs and theres nothing but our murders. you cant even find shit about all the poc getting banned from this site because nobody cared to document anything let alone Help us.

im really fucking tired of seeing the 'support black trans women!' posts around here. you dont support us when we look you in the eye and Beg. when i got kicked out last year and made a post about it NOBODY batted an eye until rita and afew other popular white transfems reblogged it. and im the lucky one. people would rather be upset at the hammer car than us dying in the streets. i dont even know how to type this all out, just thinking about this makes me furious. i spent the early years of my transition hearing nothing but black trans girls getting murdered in their cars for $100. thats how worth our lives are in this "community". we cant even get that much in donations.

im tired too hun, im really fucking tired
