i was going to crack a joke about how the only thing on my lore wishlist for the dlc was that they would finally explain why the hell marika got impaled and crucified on the elden ring. and then it occurred to me that our one canon named boss so far is an archetypical erdtree traitor-styled demigod quite literally titled the impaler

#the nemesis speaks #oh. OHHHHH.#and the shard of whatever is red too!#i'm connecting the dots i'm connecting them #...which also makes his canon dialogue even more interesting bc it fairly strongly implies he's still? loyal? to the erdtree?#if not actually marika herself #which could actually explain. that discrepancy. if he Knew she was turning against the greater will and that's why he acted against her?#man the timeline on this whole thing makes no fucking sense whatsoever but. idk. compels me.#OR it's possible that this was all part of marika's design. she needed to be fractured with the ring so she made him do it #either as a willing collaborator or manipulated into it #which is allll kinds of fucked up but in character for marika #either way she was knowingly damning her own child to a permanently blackened reputation as a traitor to the lands between themselves #when he was in actuality only acting according to the design of the queen eternal herself #i feel like i'm not really capturing all my thoughts on paper here but oh well. anyway. if i am even a little bit right #bark bark bark i need to get my teeth in this man and shake him apart like a chew toy. lovingly. GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS.
