[izunias-meme-hole]

You've been rebloging a decent amount of Soulsborne stuff, so if you have time, can you say who your favorite character's are in all these games?

Oh... well a fair amount of my thoughts CERTAINLY changed, but I'll give you a top 10.

Number 1. Messmer The Impaler (Elden Ring) - Messmer was certainly a welcome surprise. He was the firstborn son of Queen Marika, ultimately the one who personally oversaw the genocide of the hornsent in the Land of Shadow, and event so horrific and cruel that its impact could still be felt within the present day. He was afflicted with a curse at his birth, in which a dark and malevolent snake threatened to eat him from the inside, which resulted in Marika plucking out his eye and replacing it with a seal of grace. Sounds like quite the monster, right? Well here's the thing. Messmer's a surprisingly good boss, like he literally preserved his enemies culture inside a storeroom just because one of his knights requested it, and has at least some level of compassion. Sure some of his men defected after finding out about the true nature of his existence, but there were some that even stuck around because they know who he is as a person. So why did this great guy commit literal one of the most horrific events in history? Well you see, Marika basically told him to eliminate the hornsent, and it wasn't just a standard order... it was a secret banishment for him, and Marika's vengeance on the hornsent. That's right, Messmer was exiled so he could be a scapegoat for his mother in the Land of Shadow. While this doesn't absolve him of his crimes, it ultimately makes him extremely pitiable.

Number 2. Queen Marika & Radagon (Elden Ring) - A god, a vessel, a warmonger, a mother, a schemer, a monster, and a pitiful woman. These are all the things that Queen Marika The Eternal was, and by god she deserves to be remembered by all of them. Radagon is her other half. The Demigods were her children. Messmer is her son. The Lands Between were her lands. She destroyed several races. She destroyed the Elden ring. Everything in the game is connected to her in some capacity. This is some Sauron tier shit that's been done with someone who's now just a prisoner in her own fortress thanks to her fear of her reigns inevitable end. Elden Ring has a TON of antagonists, each one active in their own right across the Lands Between. Marika on the other hand is both a prisoner in her own home, and a god on her last knees who faces The Tarnished through Radagon, yet almost every last evil committed in the game is connected to her past history of cruelty and malevolence in service to her Golden Order.

Number 3. Malenia (Elden Ring) - Malenia was my fave for a good while, and is still one of my top 5 bosses in the series. Her background, how that background ties into the world, her difficulty not being too bullshit yet still giving veterans a good taste of the dirt, her simplistic yet effective character, and the concept of someone being that goddamn sickly yet still being so undeniably persistent, powerful, and near-invincible is intriguing and cool, and it's executed very well in her case. Her boss being optional is just icing on the cake. Overall she's a spectacle.

Number 4. Miquella (Elden Ring) - He's a charming lil guy. Yes he cut out everything that made himself a good person in order to become the god of a new era, and is an expert manipulator due to his powers, but he's still just a lil guy.

Number 5. Father Gascoigne (Bloodborne) - Originally, Laurence was my favorite Bloodborne character, but after some careful reconsideration... this guy is at the top. Why? I like how simplistic his lore is, but aside from that, he's basically a reflection of the Good Hunter and a really great first legit boss. He serves as a gatekeeper for new players, and his transformation from skilled hunter to a monstrous werewolf mid-fight is a perfect introduction to what fate usually awaits any hunter who inevitably gets blood drunk in Yharnam. And the cherry on top? He's just a guy. He was just a normal ass hunter with a wife and child before all of this, hell you could even use his daughter's music box to snap him out of his blood drunk state for a second. IMO Gascoigne is underrated as hell.

Number 6. Lady Maria (Bloodborne) - Between the Plain Doll being based off her, her connection to Gehrman, and being one of the hunters at the Fishing Hamlet, Maria is undeniably a great character with a vast presence.

Number 7. Ludwig (Bloodborne) - Tragic Hornse. In all seriousness though, Ludwig is a perfect summary of Bloodborne, and honestly one of the top 3 bosses in the entire series.

Number 8. Isshin Ashina (Sekiro) - Isshin's presence overshadows that of the main antagonist, Genechiro Ashina, and its entirely intentional. He basically is the symbol of his entire clan, leading a rebellion against the invading forces alongside many warriors and triumphing. Isshin was a living legend in the past, but in the present? He's old, sick, and on his last legs. He's still defending his clan, but for his strength, he's still mortal. He's still human. He's the perfect reflection of his clan. That and he’s an amazing final boss. Go Grandpa Ashina!

Number 9. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (Dark Souls) - Horrible, HORRIBLE god. He ruined humanity, is a bad father, and is SO worthy of being hated... yet he's so pitiable and pathetic. Gwyn is responsible for almost every tragedy in the trilogy, yet even his own story is a tragedy. A paranoid god king making the literal worst decisions ever to the point where he literally destroys himself. There's a level of understandability with his character that makes him tragic, but ultimately, he's still a monster. And this isn't even bringing up the Soul of Cinder.

Number 10. Slave Knight Gael (Dark Souls) - An old slave knight from the age of fire, literal cannon fodder, not only outlives the gods, but goes on a quest to get the Dark Soul so that The Painter, his niece, would paint a new world. You get familiar with him in the Ashes of Ariandel DLC, and by the time of the Ringed City DLC you see that Gael has slipped into madness and stands atop literal desolation. At first he fights on all 3's, only using his sword as a weapon as he jumps and crawls around, but after his guts are cut open and he gets the power of the dark soul, he truly begins fighting like a man and will occasionally rely on the newfound power he has to strike the Ashen One down with magic. Still at the end of the day... this fight is just between two nobodies who outlived the gods.

Hello!!! I am working on a project for my research class which, in essence, is seeing how many people got turned trans by soulsborne games. (Which is not to say you can't take it if you're not trans!! I am looking for all sorts of perspective, but that is sort of what i am looking at ☝️☝️) (i suppose a better way of phrasing this is seeing how players interact with androgyny in the series!!). That's not All Of It, but i was very inspired by the phenomena of queer folks playing as the opposite gender in rpgs when they were younger and later coming out + realizing that was probably a sign. Anyways!! If you are a Soulsborne Guy i would so very appreciate if you took my survey or shared it with anyone you know who might be able to!! Heart emoji heart emoji

“Hello!”

hello dear how are u?

[missfiorear]

I feel like joining in on that Sinking Town trend because it's my favorite song by Yoeko, and I want to combine some of my favorite things.

But before that, I’ll need to watch like 30 tutorials on how to use CapCut—and also, I first need to finish my exam week without losing my sanity in the process.

So for now, here’s this little drawing of the Doll and my headcanon of Maria that I made as the base idea I have. I also took the chance to go back to using textured brushes and improve my rendering. I’m actually pretty satisfied with how it turned out—I'm not used to working with that color palette, but luckily I feel like it looks good haha.

Now I’m off to try to draw the damn city of Yharnam because I'm too dumb to just take a screenshot—I have to draw it or I’ll feel like a useless artist.

Things you can do in Blood on the Clocktower but probably shouldn't number 87:

If a snake charmer selects the demon on the first night in a game of S&V, make the now ex-demon the good twin

All the questions I got after the season finale

Who is the man Fyodor was talking about before the helicopter crash?

Is Fyodor really dead?

What's going to happen now?

Where have been Lucy, Yosano and Kyouka all this time?

Where is Kouyou? And Mori along with PM?

Will Sigma ever wake up?

What was Fyodor's ability?

What will Nikolai do after all these events?

What was Teruko's backstory?

Where was Jouno?

How about Tecchou's past?

What's going to happen to One Order? What really it is?

Will Dazai and Chuuya come back to Japan?

And probably many more....

I'm keeping one out on display and the other one is kept in a protective bubble wrap prison in case anything unthinkable should happen to the other one (these are very delicate! and they're SO DETAILED. I love them!!!) Gonna put the original purchase under the "read more" for Gw2 SoTo spoiler reasons

PEITHA HAS COME HOME!!!! SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! I love her sword too omg... 3D printing was like, perfectly made for detailed game figures I swear.

not the same

Sasaki fits, better than most would have expected, into the Order of the Clocktower. She holds herself with a grace Agatha can respect, her mind is so very, very quick, and the ruthlessness she possesses is a skill worth sharpening. Lucky, then, that Agatha has so many blades in her hold. - on agatha, sasaki, & aya

392 words, new years fic, order of the clock tower members sasaki & aya

aka: agatha adds to the clocktower's ranks.

BSD Agatha Christie has to poison someone right? Like you CAN'T make an Agatha Christie-based character without including her knowledge of poisons somehow. Fuck she was so good irl she was able to INVENT a technique to poison people (source: https://time.com/4029233/agatha-christie-poison/). Just- hello?!

[magnumdarkin25]

Ouuuwwaahwha ummm art

[fitzyshusband]

The past three days I've been thinking about what The Order of the Clocktower actually consists of (in terms of authors) so I decided on drawing it myself.

(When I design Charles Dickins and William Shakespear please crackship them I'm begging pleading sobbing. It would be so funny)

(Do not associate the characters with the Author)

Notes:

I might actually write like a series for this if I feel like it.

Ik Salman Rushdie is still alive n all but I needed a character that had part of my name (Sal) so I can attach myself to them. Also I've yet to read the Satanic Versus (it sounds rlly cool i can't wait to read it)

Arthur Conan Doyle was so hard to make, like I couldn't decide on what his ability and name of said Ability would be called. Took me ages I swear.

Abilities:

A study In Scarlet: A Red room that is the result of a minds manifestation, can only be accessed by the user by opening an unlocked door in reality. Can controll and Manipulate almost anything in this room.

The Satanic Versus: Can transform into an unrecognisable creature associated with the Devil that possesses dangerous abilities. High Threat to society.

Feel free to ask questions or suggest ideas, I'm very open to anything.

honestly jane austen as a bsd character could've kicked so much ass in the guild why the hell didn't asagiri do something

For real! Ever since he dropped the fact that Shakespeare was like, a war criminal I’ve just been so curious at what other authors he’s including in the story

((BSD Season 6:

Agatha finally becomes relevant HawMitch reunion where he is rightfully bitchslapped for being a fucking moron Nathaniel getting his mind back but recovery being an absolute bitch because Fyodor broke his brain big time.))
