#huggingtentacles lore

[huggingtentacles]

I love being average height because I have a thing for size difference BOTH WAYS. I love being taller and I love being shorter. So I get the best of both worlds

[huggingtentacles]

Yeah the point of dumb tribalism like that was never figuring out superiority it's just about the process of fighting.

Back when I was at school the boys just decided to divide themselves completely arbitrarily, usually by friend groups. Then just regularly came together behind the school building after classes and beat the shit out of eachother wall-to-wall. Just for no fucking reason. Some did state reasons for why their group is superior to the other groups but then I saw boys from different groups just hang out after class. It kept going for the entirety of 5th, 6th and 7th grade. Occasionally someone got in trouble for it.

Anyway average slav school experience am I right

Ppl still doing console war shit in 2023 is absolutely insane, like they don't even make console exclusives anymore

Elden Ring isn’t about Winning. Elden Ring is about getting weirdly obsessed with the backstory and lore of the game and then having your sister ask you why something is the way it is while watching you play it and so you launch into the back story of the symbolism behind serpents and why they’re seen as blasphemous and she says “oh cool. Does the game explain it to you later?” And you go “no. My friends eldenringslut and huggingtentacles on tumblr explained it to me and then I watched some YouTube videos about it. But it’s not explicitly said in-game.” And she looks at you like you’ve unlocked the davinci code or something but in fact the ADHD in you has synced your hyperfixations up with theirs so you love hearing about it and they love talking about it.

Idk why ppl get mad at you for defending Radahn when it’s clear you just like the character and also you are married to HuggingTentacles, who is arguably one of the biggest Malenia simps in the er fandom. If that’s not proof that the two sides can coexist idk what is.

Oh, thank you, anon.

I mean I understand where some are coming from. I'm very stubborn in my defence and I tend to not analyze themes of stories. I like piecing the lore together on a surface level, without deep analysis. I can get quite annoying and nitpicky in my arguments.

Additionally, some may think that by liking Radahn I support irl warmongers and some conservative ideologies. I don't, I simply enjoy him in the vacuum of ER's story. But that may serve to create a wrong impression.

@huggingtentacles is this the lore i heard of

[modeus-the-misanthrope]

Been a minute since I did one of these @theearthmagicguy thanks for the @

Last Book: Am currently reading "The High Kahl's Oath" by Gav Thorpe. It's basically the first lore focused book for the Leagues of Votann. It is set in the Warhammer 40k universe, naturally.

Last Movie: Sonic 2, like maybe a month after it's release. Lil bro popped open his laptop while visitng and informed me I would be watching it.

Last TV show: Unknown. Last time I watched anything was lil bro showing me sonic 2. Haven't watched a tv show or movie without being a captive audience in almost 10 years.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Spicy all the way. I NEED it to have a little kick to it. (Am from Louisiana.)

Relationship Status: Have a gf @dodgernic, and...have not put anything into specific terms with @minotaur-asterion, but I think he is very handsome and charming. ;)

Last thing I googled: You Uncultered Swine Meme

Current Obsession: Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. They added a class that lets me be a dragon. :D

Looking Forward to: Having Sunday off, cause Superbowl Day profits are so low, that my boss says it's not even worth opening up. So I get a three day weekend. (Normally I work sundays and then get two days off.)

@minotaur-asterion @moo-ney @sallertiacallidus @ruruss @huggingtentacles and @7w7m7w7 yall can do this if ya want. If not, that is your choice to make. 🫂

10 things for 10 people you'd like to know better!

Last book: that would be Halo: The Cole Protocol, a novel in the Halo universe (obviously) following Ignacio Delgado, a smuggler living in a miner/Insurrectionist asteroid field turned habitat known as the Rubble, as well as then-Lieutenant Jacob Keyes, a somewhat-disgraced Navy man who was reduced to teaching strategy in a classroom instead of using it on the front lines of the Human-Covenant War due to an injury that left his hand shattered.

Last movie: I do believe that would be either A Christmas Story or The Hogfather, though I don't quite remember as the last time I watched a movie was Christmas.

Last TV show: I'm actually currently watching Gravity Falls for the first time, though so far I'm only on season 2 episode 4, The Sock Opera.

Sweet/savory/spicy: god, this is hard to pick. I would like to say spicy, but I also like sweet. I would like to say sweet, but I also like spicy. Savory is eh.

Relationship status: chronically single

Last thing I googled: gravity falls season 2 episodes

Current obsession(s): Halo and Star Wars are the twin suns my Tatooine of a brain orbits

Looking forward to: next Thursday. It will be the first TTRPG session I'll be hosting at my college this semester, and the first one with more than one person!

Last sing: Oh, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison. Idk, I just like Fallout music, bite me

I hate cops for many reasons but even when I was very young playing Gmod with my brother on some roleplay server, I hated cops so much. Like people would just log onto the server to roleplay police violence and search people on the streets.

I remember I played as a doctor and I set up my own shop where I healed people for free.

And then cops showed up and apparently the mayor made some rule about how cops get a cut from businesses? I told them that I don't earn any money I just heal people for free. They didn't believe me and started harassing me, I told them I have a whole bunch of people who would testify in court that I did not require any money from them. And then they fucking shot me for "resisting arrest" or some bullshit made up reason. And I couldn't do anything because these shits get no accountability for their bullshit.

What's funny looking back on it is that I was 14 and those guys straight up sounded like they're 20-30 years old. Like man did you just log on online to roleplay police violence with a 14 year old girl? Get a fucking life

For the Soulsborn ask: 19, 20, and I'm assuming you have an OC so tell us about them?

19. Do you play PvP? 

i do not! i always suck at pvp, even back in my destiny 1 crucible grind days. i just dont have the reaction time for it unu

20. What are your thoughts on PvP?

as an eternal co op-er i am very very used to moving through an area trying to make progress before getting jumpscared by an invader named shit like Godslayer The Death Bringer or Billithan Mayhughes before both of them whip out dual rivers of blood and shred my healthbar before i can find them

for the longest time, invasion felt extremely meanspirited to me, especially when there was almost always an opt in dueling system, but @huggingtentacles posts about invasions, the appeal of it, and where the fun is has started to warm me up to it and im eventually going to use their invasion guides for my ng+ build!

besides elden ring, the invasion mechanics in ds1 always intrigued me a good deal, especially gravelording

As for ocs, i actually only have the one! i tend to get so wrapped up in the lore and mythology and grand overarching narratives of fromsoft games that i end up spending all my time dissecting that instead of making characters to fit into those worlds (usually because they tend to be a bit vaguer) with elden ring being the exception, something i attribute to so many npcs having intertwining questlines with both each other and the world at large (ds3 questlines, by comparison, instead felt very personal to the npc, and rarely felt like they intersected each other)

my current tarnished character is valda! a tarnished of no renown, who began my playthrough as a wretch on the advice of a youtuber who considered it one of the more enjoyable ways to spend your first ER playthru (an opinion i agree with)

Shes a strength/faith build with a specialty in hammers (both one handed and colossal varieties) and a love of dragon communion, who i played alongside @dantemoore0 's tarnished oc Siegferth (STR/INT build)

i ended up making a lot of backstory and fleshing out concepts for her ending, and also made attempts translating her into dnd lmao

thank u for the ask!! appreciate it and also u 🥺 💜

[a-vexually-transmitted-disease]

@huggingtentacles I see you. Lore dump me sometime :)

So I drew my Elden Ring oc Solvana in the dress of all time. Muscle milf,,,

Hi, I'm curious about your answers to 14, 16 and 19 questions from the soulsborne quiz.

Hi! Sorry for taking so long, I fell (on my bed) and couldn't get up (I was asleep). :P

14. Which game was your introduction to the series?

The original Dark Souls was free with the Xbox pass, back in... I want to say 2014? Maybe earlier? I didn't really use the internet much so I didn't know what it was about, then finished a playthrough and went ham on any and all lore videos I could find, while also pushing all the way through NG+7 just to say to myself that I beat DSI at the highest difficulty.

16. What are your favourite areas?

Majula, hands down. I think it's the best hub area we got. It just feels so calm and relaxing, you know?

I also really like Dragon Aerie. And Archdragon Peak as well. I like dragons, basically.

19. Do you play PvP?

I sworn off PvP after lots of dueling in DSII and DSIII, but seeing @ huggingtentacles have so much fun with it in ER, I got the itch and I just recently finished making a RL90 invasion build. Have yet to invade more than thrice, but it feels much more fun than the dueling I used to do.

So to actually answer the question, yeah, I'm slowly starting to get into it.

Thank you for the ask! I never realized how long ago I first got into the series until I wrote it today. Jeez, it's been a while...

[huggingtentacles]

There is this guy I met on the internet on some app, and we were kinda hanging out, playing souls games. And then my other friend came out as trans and so this guy turned out to be a fucking idiot so we kinda started beefing.

The thing you should know about me is that the feeling of hate is kinda unfamiliar to me. I understand how hate works, I understand disliking people intensely. When I see a bad person I could say "I hate this person" but I don't FEEL it you know?? I don't feel my heart pounding and my blood boiling and my teeth clenching. I don't get angry, I may be slightly annoyed but that's it.

But this guy. Oh this guy. The amount of pretentiousness this guy had despite having IQ of a shrimp. The way he talked down to everyone as if they're his younger siblings. Not only he's a hateful bastard, he also was completely insufferable, which made me discover this absolutely new feeling. So I just took every opportunity to spoil every single minute he spent in the group chats. I was at his throat at all times. But that's not my favourite part.

I lived in his head RENT FREE. I was sent screenshots from his friends talking about me every single day. He just couldn't stop thinking about me. Like, the dude was obsessed with me. He tried to find dirt on me, he created a private community with his friends where all they talked about was ME. They fucking deconstructed every sentence I said. It was kinda insane honestly.

Slowly the community kinda died down and I moved on to other stuff. Two years pass without us interacting. I completely forgot about him.

Then I suddenly decided to come back into that group chat and guess what?? I CAUGHT HIM STILL TALKING ABOUT ME. TWOOOOO YYYEEAARSSS LATERRR HO LY SHITT. And he was even more of a hateful piece of shit. I couldn't believe my eyes,this dude is twenty-something years old. I literally ruined his life. Like dude is gonna talk about me to his grandchildren it anyone's gonna be misled enough to date him.

[huggingtentacles]

A bus driver has never ever gotten my change wrong. I've been alive for 20 years and this hasn't happened once. I'm pretty sure The Bus Driver is some kind of lesser deity.

[huggingtentacles]

Genuinely hate when I get angry. Not just because it sucks, but because I get SO mean to people even if I love them and care for them. And then I cool off and apologize and they go "I'm sorry I had it coming" NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!😭😭😭 You deserve more respect than that, even if you fucked up somewhere I had to take a hold of myself, it was my responsibility!!

I just straight up become evil when I'm upset. I try to give myself time to cool off and 90% of the time I can recognise that I'm being a dipshit and stop. But sometimes ppl catch me in the wrong at the wrong time and it just sucks for everyone.

[huggingtentacles]

Question for my followers. There is no wrong answer.

[huggingtentacles]

Fun fact ya girl huggingtentacles got her face chewed quite a bit (hehe) by a massive dog back when she was 12. Don't worry I'm still hot, I recovered just fine in like 2 weeks, I almost died though, so.

Maybe this is why I'm like this idk :P

If you said yes to the first 3 please explain in the tags what animal it was and what was the damage

[huggingtentacles]

When the boys played football, I played dodgeball with the girls, and let me tell you, that shit was brutal and merciless and generally fucked up, because nobody was watching us. The teacher assumed our boys would be much more trouble unsupervised, but she was wrong. Girl dodgeball is where the real danger was at. We had much more injuries playing dodgeball than literally anything else. The ball was heavy and the area was pretty uneven, it really took some skill to navigate. Girls fell, got hit on the head, got their noses destroyed and their fingers sprained.

Believe it or not, I was the recipient of two injuries and a cause of 2 (for both of which I didn't get ANY trouble for because I'm build different). You'd think that you'll never see 10-year-old with the eyes of a war veteran, but believe me when I say this, not only we looked like we were just out of the trenches, we also felt like it.

For this game of dodgeball, I will be specifically targeting the gayest and most autistic among you to eliminate.
