So I ended up defeating Radahn, O'Neil, and the Mimic Tear, today. I love the look of Nokron and the underground woods, that starry cavern sky is beautiful.
I've still more to do in Nokron, need to beat the Regal Ancestor Spirit, the Red Wolf in the field nearby, and I stumbled into the Valiant Gargoyle boss room, not knowing what it was, and lost 24k runes there. One of the gargoyles died, but the second one got me while it was below half health. I considered going back, but I didnt really feel like getting into a death cycle, and its not that many runes really.
I suppose I also need to go back and run through Redmane Castle properly as well.
Radahn is a pretty scary boss, I spent the entirety of my three attempts at him on horseback summoning allies and jumping in with some slashes when it looked like there was an opening, that arena is fucking massive though, I traveled the whole circumference and it took a *while*.
Also, why's Blaidd in the Evergaol now? Lady Ranni, explain.
So I've now cleared the rest of Caria Manor and the surrounding lands. The Red Wolf is much more difficult on a field compared to inside a Debate Hall. I've also entered Lady Ranni's service and have now descended down the Siofra Well to meet with Blaidd.
Additionally, I have tried to craft my own "Elden Bling" as it were while still trying to keep my gearset balanced:
Bandit Mask
High Page Clothes
Banished Knight Gauntlets
Banished Knight Greaves
The weapons I change frequently
(Poll submitted by @graffic17)
That's a cape with a minor role in the story, not a cape who is a minor. cause then everybody would just pick skitter.
There are actually so many completely random capes who only show up like twice that I actually had serious difficulty making this poll.
Weirdly large amount of heroes on this list but that's because the heroes show up way less on account of the story being mostly from the perspective of a villain
Note: This is the second version of this poll, after tumblr posted the version where my edits (to remove circus and trainwreck) didn't go through
Make sure to tell me what you think and why you think it!
Welp, I suppose I've overleveled and gotten too much experience fighting more relentless enemies.
Margit is down without a single death, praise the sun!
Why go for one person in your head when you can have fourteen? Go big or go home, I wanna know what the Butcher experience is like.
I’m wondering what character from worm or ward (someday I need to read pact, pale or the other one) would be the best to be a voice in your head. I’m thinking this cause I’ve been playing a lot of cyberpunk recently. But trying to pick a mix of “I wouldn’t mind what they have to say or the might be fun to have around in my brain” and “their not the shittest person in the world who would tell me to do nothing but the worst things possible.” I want to know some people’s ideas about this, I’m still on the fence about who’d I pick.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all
a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)
so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.
I know they're like, necessary for the economy to function, but who let the trains run at "fanfic reading hour" (3am) don't they know people are busy?
you know something weird? all these years, and we don't have a themed name for antares/tattletale. like. a thing the worm fandom does is make themed names for every ship, rather than the merged names that basically every other fandom uses. smugbug / wolfspider rather than skittletale (i know that one exists) or bitter (skitch?) or something. in the worm fandom those kinds of names are extremely unpopular, with a single exception: tattletares. nobody ever made a thematic name for tattletares we just use the merged name. (there is a merged name for the ship of them in worm which is smugpunch, but smugpunch is super rare, and naming that ship is even rarer).
Why is this? is tattletares just that good? are the alternatives just that bad?
