The Beginning

Ok, finished gathering my thoughts on the "Shadow of Erdtree" trailer. Credit to @rinboz and @crumblingfaggotazula for beating me to the punch for many of these observations.

The corpse scene reads to me as 'pregnant woman with open gown' - the implication being that Marika steals 'gold' from the god of the previous age.

At present, the Elden Ring is held in Marika's body. Thus, the golden thread is probably the Elden Ring (or a great rune) in some form?

There's also the language surrounding this; 'seduction, betrayal, affair'. Is this confirmation that Radagon has always been Marika? the entire arc with Rennala being intentional and part of wider pattern?

Marika's rune seems to be a representation of golden sap dripping from the twin trees seen later in the trailer.

The corpse pile being the Erdtree's 'Primordial Matter' (see. Gilded Greatshield) makes a ton on sense; note the general shape and central fissure.

It explains the Erdtree (and it's descendants) ability/habit of corpse absorption. Also the implication that Jar-burial is not (strictly) a new practice - but based on something much older. Jars also have appeared frequently in the trailers.

Land of Shadow being 'obscured by the Erdtree' seems to be very literal - the Erdtree being a door with once side facing The Lands Between and the other; the Land of Shadow. Also explains the massive 'hole' in the lands between map - its not a meteor crater but where the Land of Shadow was.

Colour of Homeward Yearning

You could also say that in this scene; Marika is changing gold from it's original 'red tint' to how it appears as present.

Red (Primordial gold's colour) sits between yellows and purples (ie. gloam) on the colour wheel. The scene hue being nested gold-red-purple. Therefore, the Shadow was a natural byproduct from splitting "true gold" from the original "red gold"?

Also, is "homeward yearning" because red-gold calls back to a time before Land of Shadow+Lands Between split? or is it because of something else...

"Where all life was once blended together"

The Crucible being a corpse mountain fits that description well. Main caveat is that the corpses appear to be human, no beast parts. Then again, 'Omen-like' beings seem to be common in the 'Pre-Erdtree Culture' so perhaps they are the source of the horns/tails etc.

Its assumed that the corpses are of Marika's defeated enemies, but what if instead they are 'willing sacrifices'? Its been suggested that Erdtree followers don't reproduce biologically - they return to the tree on death and are assumed to be reborn at 'the foot of Erdtree'. Did Marika's original followers give themselves to seal away the Land of Shadow with the promise of being reborn into a new land? Therefore, "all life blended together" is because everyone who has ever lived in the Lands Between is a reincarnation from said original corpse mountain?

Side note; the Erdtree originally being made of bodies draws parallels with Rykard and Godrick and what they're up to.

Its also stated that Messmer's war follows said birth of gold, so clearly the corpses cannot be from said war.

All those stripped of the Grace of Gold

Going back to Marika's theft of gold; Im guessing that the pre-Erdtree culture loses the grace of gold in this act - ie. they become Tarnished. Messmer seems duty-bound to burn all those 'stripped of the grace of gold' which explains both his war against the pre-Erdtree Culture as well as his contempt for the player character.

Its interesting how becoming Tarnished potentially has been wielded as a punishment deep into the past.

Also note how Godfrey is 1st Elden Lord (even though Placidusax exists) and the 1st Tarnished (even though the pre-Erdtree culture likely became Tarnished).

The 'Lion Dancers' do not have golden eyes, but they also appear to be 'constructs/suits' - so who knows really?

Misc Stuff

One of the stranger things in the reveals is how finally have context for the various shield emblems - Candletree, Crossed-Tree, Red-Thorn (maybe...)

I was surprised when I opened the pot of soup my mom made, just to discover the galaxy it held.

I need to stomp my hooves and brandish my antlers at those I feel threatened by. I do not run when faced with a predator, I stand my ground.

I need to bleat at and nuzzle against those I love. I hide behind the ones I trust and look to my heard to protect me.

Strength and vulnerability are never opposing. You can and must be both the hunter and the hunted to survive. 👁🦌🦷🌿

I am the essence of space, the interconnected nature of the realm we occupy, the rules that make our world work, everything from a neutrino to the cosmic radiation background. When you look up into the sky or down into an atom, I am there, yearning to be discovered. I am a consciousness occupying the universe, aware of what goes on in myself. I wish to dissolve into my original form, and be the stars, the planets, the galaxies, the light orbiting a black hole and the darkness after a star dies. The emptiness and simultaneous everything of a time before or after the universe. The cold touch of the void that wouldn't hesitate to take you away, but also the wonder you feel at that very concept. I am spacekin.

i mean. technically demons don’t have to have horns. but. the messiah himself referred to his children as “sheep” and satan’s children as “goats” in the gospel of matthew. and like. that’s reason enough for me.

no “bat wings” for me though. i have wings like alexandre cabanel’s “fallen angel” painting, all blue and gold.

Aughnnhgg I've been thinking of Silver for fucking DAYS now, he's always going to be hard to get out of my head, ain't he ?

I just SEE shit of him and I feel like a piece of him is there with me and it just makes me miss him MORE. :[

I've been listening to this one song when I'm feeling particularly Fruity because it just. Feels like him too. And it feels like something I'd give to him on a shitty recorded mixtape too,

And im thinking about all those times where we would just stare at eachother. Before we got together. It felt like some of the most intense moments of my life and Im feeling it all over again,

And after, those passionate moments we'd have together other than sleeping, holding eachother, kissing, it

Augh

On one hand I definitely understand why so many vampirekin talk about blood it’s... kind of the whole thing with vampires (aside from being explicitly very queer) but cmon.

We need to start being more creative—and maybe set the bar lower—because where are my posts for vampires who are just Some Guy. I think we’re severely lacking when it comes to different kinds of vampire rep /j

nothing like watching the new madoka magica trailer and seeing homura's new outfit and immediately realizing it is the same dress as the one you wore in canon.

There’s always something a bit wrong with me.

My bones always crack and my joints always ache.

My skin is sore and my vision is blurred.

My lips are dry and my hands keep burning.

I want to turn inside out,

And let out whatever it is that wants to escape. 👁🦷
