Elden Ring/Dark Souls And The Sheer Lack Of Fanfics. (A Slight Rant And Ramble.)

I will fucking riot if they kill this man... Don't do it, hoyo.

Excuse me, but what the actual fuck is cakeverse? /srs

I am The Number One Queelign Fan Now.

As the only person using the tag "Elden Ring Queelign," the only one making posts about Queelign that are positive, and are one of the few people posting about him at all...

I hereby crown myself the number one Queelign fan on Tumblr at this very moment. So...

Kneel before your queen, Tarnished. For I am Maven, the Sleepy Writer and Adoptive Mother of Queelign!

Just watched The Lego Batman Movie with one of my younger siblings since I had the DVD and... I didn't remember it being this fruity, hello???

Discussing Elden Ring Ships.

Part I: Rennala x Marika

Alright... Rennala x Marika... I will admit, I actually quite like this ship, but I do not know why.

It is a guilty pleasure of mine and just hits about the same way as Godfrey x Radagon. (Which I will be discussing later. Hint, hint.)

However, I can not for the life of me figure out what is just so damn good about this ship and why it fills my little goldfish brain with such large amounts of dopamine whenever they pop on my screen.

So, let's discuss and break this down. Togethaaa!

Lesbians, Let's Go Lesbians!

Now, WLW. We all love WLW. I already know that. But there is always something so addicting to seeing GL/WLW pop onto my screen.

Maybe it's because I'm a girl's girl. But, anyway, back to the serious listing.

2. The Radagon/Marika Situation

Alright. This. Radagon is Marika and vice-versa, we know this. So, I feel like this is part of the main reason why I and so many other people like this ship.

I feel like there are two reason why the whole 'Radagon is Marika' thing is the reason people like this ship. Either A) It feels like another way if getting Rennala and Radagon together without having to force the divorced couple back together. Or B) It's satisfying to see Rennala get with the woman who is not only still technically Radagon, but also the woman Radagon left Rennala for.

3. Let Rennala Be Happy

I feel like if you ship Rennala with anyone, honestly, you probably just want her to be happy and finally get out of the damn library.

I know I do. She deserves all the happiness in the world. But that might be a main reason why people like this ship so much. It gives Rennala a chance to be happy with someone other than Radagon after he broke her heart.

4. Sweet, Sweet Drama

Ah, yes... Drama. What some live for and what some hate, and what I, personally, shovel down my throat by the spoonful.

I will eat up any and all drama. So, it is no wonder that this ship scratches my brain so much.

It holds so much potential for anything to go horribly wrong at any given moment.

Rennala meets Marika and has a breakdown about her husband leaving her for Marika. Oof.

Rennala finds out Radagon is Marika, but not actually. Have some divorce drama going on.

Radagon has a heart to heart with Rennala after all these years of being apart to finally explain what was happening. Damn, that would hurt my heart and I would cry.

My conclusion.

People probably just like this ship for either possible comfort and love for Rennala or for the drama it can give.

That's all I can think of at the moment about this ship, but please feel free to discuss it as well.

Alright, bye ya'll! ♡

Why NOT To Mess With The DM: Some Feywild Shenanigans That Happened.

DM throws us into the feywild while on our journey to find a rampaging necromancer after stumbling upon a strange tree that twisted into a portal.

While going through the trees, we find a gateway that leads to a road that we need to go down to continue.

A fey man stops us and tells us one of us needs to make a deal with him to continue on. The deal being that we need to give him our firstborn child in exchange for passage. (A classic really. Adds character development to a player's character.)

The rest of the group chatters amongst themselves as I, the Aasimar cleric, stay silent and look down at the token for the fey man. Smoking hot. I know what I have to do...

Fighter: Alright, so who should make the deal?

Monk: Perhaps me? I never planned on having children.

Rogue: Yeah, but what if you do later–

Me: I'll do it.

Fighter: Wha–

Fey: Are you sure... bird?

Me: Quite sure. I only have one question to ask you, Mr. Fey... *Leans closer towards the fey man, who in reality is just the DM* Do you prefer your eggs fried, scrambled, or... fertilized~?

The table is alive with quiet murmurs of noise. The paladin is making incomprehensible noises of disappointment. The fighter is astonished. The wizard keeps looking between me and the DM as I stayed leaned over the table towards the DM.

However... A smirk comes onto the DM's face as he turns the tables on me.

Fey: Careful what you wish for, birdie... I always take them fertilized.

The table now erupts. The bard is laughing his ass off. The rogue is making loud, "ooooohhhhh!!!" sounds as she watches this all go down. The monk is silently resigned as he stares off into space. I'm sitting there, wide-eyed in shock (and probably beet red) as I was not expecting him to flirt back in character since I was so used to just flirting and teasing and could not handle it being thrown back at me.

Lesson learned. You fuck around, you find out. Especially when it's with the DM.

Oh my God— IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!

(Slight St. Trina Spoilers Below)

This might also mean (if the nymph comparisons were intentional) that in either a second dlc or second game, she might come back!

I'm pretty sure in different versions of the myths, Daphne at least comes back from being turned into a tree after supposedly dying, though I'm not too sure about Minthe. Which means that St. Trina might be able to come back to life from dying/becoming a flower!

She coming back you guys, she's coming back!

My (Probably Wrong) St. Trina Nymph Analyzation.ᐟ🪻

So, this is going to be my first post on Tumblr... Me talking about the possible anthousai, or flower nymph, symbolism (???) with St. Trina. I'm probably just sleep deprived and my brain is all shriveled from too much caffeine and blue light, but just hear me out...

I've always been really big into Greek mythology and video games, so it was no wonder that my brain immediately went to, "St. Trina is a FLOWER NYMPH???" the very moment she popped onto my screen. She fits the description perfectly.

Flower nymphs are described to be immortal being with hyacinth-like hair and, in typical Greek fashion, very beautiful. Now, we can check the hyacinth-like hair off as a 'yes' since Trina clearly has bright purple hair. And now, I also believe we can check the beautiful part off as 'yes' too since Trina is very beautiful, but also because beauty is often also compared to the youth of a woman as well. And we all know St. Trina is youthful.

Something that also made me think about flower nymph symbolism is, of course, the 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴. St. Trina has a lot to do with flowers, such as the St. Trina's Lily that you can find in-game. Once you defeat Miquella and Radahan, you can go back to a now dead Trina and retrieve a "helm" from her that is also a flower. You find St. Trina in a flowery area as well. So, clearly, flowers are a big part of her character.

But, what I also want to mention is the state you find her in. When you find her, she is seems as though she is sprouting out of a giant plant. Now, this, in my own head, also seems to be related to the whole nymph thing. Take, for instance, Minthe. Minthe is a water nymph that was trampled to death by either Persephone or Demeter, depending on the myth, and then turns into the mint plant upon dying. Daphne, another nymph, turned into a laurel tree while running away from Apollo, dying in the process depending on who you ask as well.

What we can take from this is whenever a nymph dies they turn into their respective plant, that having been stated multiple times as well in Greek mythology. This all further solidifies my analysis on St. Trina having nymph symbolism, specifically that of an anthousai/flower nymph.

Damn, I rambled for way too long for my first post... Anyway– Goodbye and All Hail Her Majesty of Sleep!🪻

HSR: Halovians' Halos

My Headcanon/Idea About Halovian Halos

Alright, let's get into it!

So, halovians' halos are not attached to their heads, as we already know and can see clearly with Robin.

Robin with her halo clearly removed from her head to disguise herself.

We can also see in Robin's trailer that they can shine their halos, like gold and any other metal.

So, this got me thinking. What if the halos are just pieces of metal?

Thinking about it some more, no matter how you look at it, there could be no way they are born with metal hovering over their heads, right? Whether they hatch from an egg or come out live from their mother, it would theoretically be impossible.

Unless, somehow it sprouts up after they are born, this just wouldn't work from a biological standpoint.

So... what if their parents make their halos for them after they are born?

It could be a sentimental and special experience crafting and welding the metal for their new child together, gifting it to them once they are born so they can keep it with them for their whole life.

It would explain why they are removable, can be cleaned and polished, and would add a nice sentimental touch to every halovians' unique halo as it would have been painstakingly crafted from their parents.

This could also add a sort of angst element if you were to create a halovian character without a halo or just with a plain halo.

It could mean that they were abandoned or their parents did not put much care or time into their child and that would be reflected more outwardly that way.

Perhaps a lack of halo could also signify a halovian going against their heritage and abandoning their family themselves. After all, what better way to shun your parents then to rid yourself of the one special gift they gave to you to remember them by?

Omg, I love this thought of mine! I'm so proud of myself here for thinking this up at like 2 in the morning! This is one of my best thoughts I've dreamt up in a hot minute. :3

You know, I never really thought about it before, but my dynamic with the paladin of my dnd group is rather ironic.

The paladin, sworn to his God and embarking on his never-ending crusade in their name... Vowing to never let anything stray them from their devotion and path, breaking all emotional ties from everyone from his old life...

..Gets constantly bombarded and pestered by the Aasimar of the group, (Practically just a dnd angel) who also, just so happens, to be the cleric of the group. Not only meaning I'm also worshipping and am devoted to a God despite my carefree nature, but I'm also worshipping the. Exact. Same. God.

Imagine you're going to church and devoted your whole life to make sure you do not sin in the slightest to try and please God to make it to heaven and then suddenly an angel drops down from the sky, throws bird puns in your face after ruthlessly flirting with the preacher, offering to spend the night with the nuns as well, and then still receiving divine blessings as if they weren't one of the biggest sinners alive.
