#and dont get me started on sacramental buds. and how them +miqy lillies make the 'you work for me now items.'

[bitchfitch]

In elden ring theres this like. Idk if it was intentional or if I'm just reading too much into this, but there's this detail I've noticed about Trina's/Miquella's lillies.

Most of the time when you find them, you also find blood roses near by, even when it's not an area it really makes sense for them to be. And in the areas it Does make sense to find them, theres usually a few lillies nearby. not always, but usually, and idk if I'm just looking at this with blorbo colored glasses but it Feels significant that the items that are used to represent Mong and Miquella's influence in an area are so often placed near each other.

Like. If we do assume this is an intentional detail, then there's a few way to look at it. The most obvious examples are all patches of Trina's lillies with a single blood rose in spitting distance. so in that case it could be being used as a way to signify Mohg's presence as a looming thing. Just there on the peripheral but still There. and given Everything the game says explicitly about their relationship, then their presence feels threatening, he's creeping in. But it happens in the reverse too, but only in places you aren't likely to notice. The lillies with the single blood rose are usually in front of or towards the center of the space where a player might wander. Near the path.

The roses with the few lillies show up hidden and behind things. Around the blood church, and the writhe blood ruins, and behind fort erdsteal dagger guy, Areas that are Explicitly under blood cult control, there's Trina's lillies.

and just. Idk. it's 4 am and I'm still Hashtag sick. But.
