Did anyone else notice that Liurnia of the Lakes is literally The Moon Arcana from Tarot
Tumblr media
Like seriously
For starters the card shows a marshland, which like "Liurnia of the Lakes"
Then there's the crayfish right in the middle and I'm sure no one can forge these fuckers
Tumblr media
Then there's a red dog and a wolf side by side
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Flanked on each side by two large structures
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and of course, above it all, hangs the moon
Tumblr media
That is not even considering the road down the middle that leads into the mountains, which is obviously the great road that leads to the lift and the Altus Plateau
And of course there's the whole symbolic tie to be considered. Not only is Liurnia ruled by a family with strong ties to the moon, but the Moon Arcana is also strongly tied to dreams, illusions, the unconscious mind, and knowledge
All things that are strongly tied either to Raya Lucaria, to the Carian nobles, or Ranni and Rennala themselves. And are all things you'll find in spades in this region of the game
...so yeah. I guess I'll start comparing other Elden Ring regions to tarot cards to maybe see if that's a real pattern or if I'm talking out of my ass here

Ah crap, guess that's what I get for making assumptions. What I was misinterpreting was how the music video was working in combination with the words to showcase how unhappy Stolas was with Stella and his marriage from the beginning and how he wants to make his relationship work with Blitz but each day he's realizing why Blitz doesn't seem to want that because of all the ridicule he's already had to face for just being an Imp. Guess I should at least try to run things through a translator before making assumptions about what people are saying, huh? My bad.
It's fine. I just found it funny is all
I guess I don't even have to do media analysis, people just assume that's what I'm always doing
...which isn't that far from the truth
I just find it funny that that's my brand now

Is it weird that even though I don't know Portuguese, I was still able to somewhat follow your breakdown on the themes of the Look My Way music video, lol? Like I know I didn't get everything, but what I could understand was just as good as your other literary theme breakdowns.
I'm sorry to tell you but... I wasn't breaking down the themes at all
I was gushing about this brazilian fandub that I like and praising the VAs they chose for Stolas and Blitz
But now I'm curious as to what you thought I was saying there

Testando Testando
aposto q vcs esqueceram q eu era BR já
esse aqui é pros meus queridos brasileiros
Como uma pessoa q tem um amor por tradução e localização (fazia parte do meu curso na faculdade), eq tbm é extremamente "normal" sobre Helluva Boss
Eu gostaria de compartilhar a melhor fan dub de Helluva Boss q eu já vi, pelo canal É o Dublas
Eles fazem um trabalho fantastico adaptando o humor da serie para ptbr, com incriveis cenas como a Stella chamando o Stolas de "um passaralho de merda" ou a troca de Michael Crawford pra Zé Ramalho no terceiro episodio ou a Millie dizendo "eu não venho nesse lugar desde que eu era uma capetinha"
Sem falar da qualidade do trabalho dos dubladores. Eles ainda são amadores, mas mesmo assim a dublagem deles é muito bem feita
Eu quero trazer atenção especialmente para Samuka Beludo como Blitz e David Mendes como Stolas, pq PUTA QUE PARIU ELES NASCERAM PRA ESSES PAPEIS
Samuka é simplesmente fantastico como Blitz e me fez perceber o quão BR o Blitz já é como personagem. Ainda mais quando ele ta soltando falas como "SAMBA VADIA!" e "CAMBADA DE CORNO!"
Eu quero muito ver oq ele consegue fazer nos episodios 7 e 8 quando o personagem tem os seus momentos de vulnerabilidade emocional.
E meu deus David é perfeito pro Stolas. A capacidade q ele tem pra fazer tanto as falas serias e mais emocionais com a Via, E as putarias q ele fala pro Blitz constantemente ("meu blitzy pirocudo")
E é claro, vc não pode falar do Stolas sem falar das musicas dele, mas pra q falar quando eu posso mostrar o quão boas elas ficam em ptg
Especialmente a mais recente
youtube
Enfim se vc é br e fã de Helluva Boss eu recomendo de mais essa dublagem

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

I got the game Soulstice for free in the Epic Game Store like ages ago and finally decided to play it
AND OH BOY
That was not what I was expecting and I mean that entirely as a compliment
Game feels like a lower budget Devil May Cry. The aesthetic is beautiful, the world is fantastic, the story is cheesy at times but still really good, and I'm simply in love with the two main characters
The gameplay is a bit rough around the edges. Like it's very clear this is this dev team's first attempt at making this type of game, but they have plenty of interesting ideas and takes on classic mechanics that will only get better as they gain more experience
Not sure if that has been announced yet, but I'm fully convinced that Soulstice 2 is gonna be a fucking banger
Anyways I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves dark fantasy and has an itching for some good DMC-like action
But well this is my blog and y'all know what I'm about.
IT'S TIME FOR THOSE SEXY FUCKING THEMES BABY!
short version: this is a story about relationships and how people help each other survive their shared trauma
Tumblr media
Like our main characters are a scarred warrior and the ghost of her little sister! LIKE SHE'S LITERALLY HAUNTED BY HER DEAD SISTER! THIS AIN'T SUBTLE!
Tumblr media
ANYWAYS
Now it's time for the long version under the cut, so be weary of spoilers!
Alright let's do some set up here
Okay so our girls, Briar and Lute, are a "chimera" which in this setting means two souls placed into a single body
So guess what the shared trauma that those two have to get over is THE DEATH OF EVERYONE THEY KNOW INCLUDING THEMSELVES
And that's the trauma all chimeras in the game suffered. They all had to die to become what they are now. They all suffered and they were all changed by that suffering
And to top it all off, every chimera at some point will become so changed by their transformation that they'll lose all sense of the person they were before and turn into a destructive monster
This is known as transcendence, and every chimera would rather die than transcend
AND THAT, MY GOOD BITCH, IS THE CENTER OF MY ARGUMENT HERE
Because we see plenty of transcended throughout the game. The 3 big bosses of the game are all transcended chimera, all people who are just like our protagonist. People who were changed by their trauma and lost themselves to it
And the thing is Briar and Lute transcend too, but instead of it consuming them and turning them into a monster, it makes them stronger.
And why the fuck is that? well, it's because of the way they deal each deal with their trauma and how they relate to each other
Like Jared and Jadon
Tumblr media
They straight up DON'T deal with their trauma. They don't unpack shit. They just try to move forward, act tough, and be loud and boastful.
When they transcend that's all that remains of them. Their humanity is lost, replaced only with that drive to never stop moving, never stop fighting, be loud, be strong, take on the next challenge, and the next, and the next, and the next.
Tumblr media
Armina and Damian are somehow even worse. They're entirely fueled by spite and a sense of superiority. They hate each other and their hate is what keeps them going, that and the act they put on of being better than each other
When they transcend they get consumed by their self destructive tendencies, fighting for control over their body and constantly belittling each other. Hell their transcended form literally features a pair of hands wrapped around their own neck
THIS ISN'T FUCKING SUBTLE!
Tumblr media
Then there's Donovan and Hannah. By the triarchy, these two
Donovan, the good and kind father who clung desperately to his dying daughter. Clung so tightly in fact that all he did was prolong her suffering. He held on until Hannah's death consumed and destroyed him
Donovan is a mindless being in this transcended form, only Hannah's pain and resentment remains
So in short, they all suck. They hide their pain and cling to these masks, and these toxic relationships. They refuse to change until change becomes inevitable and fully consumes them
And so they're all destroyed by their own pain
And sure they're antagonists, but the story constantly asks you to understand them and their pain. None of them are like this because they wanted to, none of them became monsters by their own choice. None of them chose to suffer this trauma
And neither did Briar and Lute
They constantly talk about the pain of becoming a chimera, of how this change was forced upon them and how it was never their choice
They feel like they're less than human and that they can never go back to who they once were
They too are on the path to transcendence
But the difference is that Lute and Briar make each other stronger. They help each other move forward and even deal with the past trauma that led to their new existence
Hell your major power upgrades are straight up locked behind flashback sequences in which they confront the events that led to their death and subsequent rebirth as a chimera
Not to mention that they have other people to help them deal with their crap. They have Layton (begrudgingly) and Donovan (for a bit) to help them process everything that has happened and IS happening to them
And in the end our girls realize that... yeah, this sucks. They got changed by forces beyond their control and made to suffer for it
But that doesn't have to define who they are and what they do. Their trauma changed them, but it isn't all that they are
They support each other through the pain and when they transcend it's (for the first time) by their own choice
Tumblr media
They accepted their pain, they confronted their trauma, and they chose to change. So unlike every single other transcended in the game, they get to remain themselves, they may look different but they're still Briar and Lute
their deaths, their transformation, their pain
None of it gets to decide who they are
And my god does that lead to a lovely ending sequence
Genuinely cannot wait to see what comes next for these two as they go after the people behind all that pain and try to help more of their fellow chimera
so uh... yeah. Cool game

Chiaki is a funny story for me, because when I was playing DR2 I kept referring to her as "bro" and "dude" whenever I interacted with her. It led to me making a joke about how "a bro can have big tits and a cute voice" and "a baby girl can be a dude too" and next thing I know I had a transmasc Chiaki headcanon lol
btw my headcanon is that he uses he/him and prefers to be seem as male, but doesn't plan on taking HRT, doing any surgeries, OR changing his name
Because like I said, a dude can have big tits and a cute voice
Still sick and very bored now
Here's an incomplete list of characters I wanna hit with the transmasc-ification beam
Glimmer
Ochako Uraraka
Chiaki Nanami
Charlie Morningstar
Sasha Waybright
do with this what you will

I love doing world building for AUs with @salora-rainriver. Like honestly we're so bad at saying no to each other that we just end up building on stuff and building on stuff and building on stuff
and next thing you know I say the sentence "gay jester mating ball" and it makes perfect sense in context, but like how on earth do we explain how we got there?
