WHY IT IS SO ACCURATE, TAYLOR, WHY???
ELDEN RING: Animated Ode to Miquella
Comments are awesome😂😂😂
A story collab: @whitecatarts did the story, story boarding, and color, and I did the editing, typesetting, and lineart.
Reads right to left. Tw: blood and gore
I'm just gonna keep updating you guys, I'm just so exited to see how it's going to turn out!!!
As you can see I colored Malenia and Miquella, made the background and completed the left side of the artwork
Elden Ring but it's the Last Supper sketch (prolly won't finish it)
No wonder Marika smashed the Elden Ring if she’s got this much family trauma.
this ancient er meme is one of the pillars of my sanity. saw it in twi timeline again, decided that you must see it too
Random Drawing Urge (7)
Drew Marika and Messmer based on that one statue.

My drawing skill to make this come true isnt enough😭
Elden ring + SotE lore rambles part 2 electric boogaloo
Spoilers ahead
If you want, my first post was here, its not necessary to read it to understand but it might also interest you.
Alright, so ive been playing the dlc and thinking a lot about Miquella, Marika, godhood and everything. And in my first post, I speculated that the reason Miquella turns out to be the "bad guy" (big quotation marks bc theres not really an actual "good" here cmon guys its fromsoft were talking about) was because the path to godhood required him to fundamentally change as a person.
We do see how much change is required here, Miquella abandons huge parts of himself, both physical and emotional. But the part that interests me here is St Trina specifically. St Trina is a large part of who Miquella once was, shorn away and made into an entirely new person, cast away in Miquella's post to godhood.
Now that got me thinking, bc doesnt that sound familiar to you ? A young empyrean, casting away part of themselves to become a god, and that part becoming an entirely new person of the opposite gender ? Now where have i heard that before...
Oh hi Radagon, what are you doing here ?
Do you see where i'm going here ? The whole Radagon is Marika thing has been a topic of debate for a while now, and i dont want to toot my own horn here but i might have cracked the code.
I think Marika split Radagon from herself on her own path to godhood just as Miquella did with St Trina.
It works pretty well with every aspect of the lore so far. It explains the how in the Radagon is Marika thing, St Trina is somewhat antagonistic towards Miquella just as Radagon and Marika were somewhat antagonistic towards each other, I dont think either Radagon or St Trina are empyreans despite their other halves being so, etc etc. And we do see that St Trina is a whole ass different person which implies Radagon probably was as well.
Anyways damn, like mother like son amirite ?
LOOK AT THEM RAAAH! (・`ω・´)

Mother...
Was this thy unholy design?...
to turn mine conquest into a prison of time?...
Messmer's tone change hurt my soul.
Lord Miquella, forgive me. The sun has not been swallowed... He yet remains soulless... under the shadow of the great tree.
I had an itch to paint Godwyn with wings ahh

I had to draw my favorite antagonist. *sweats*
his story just hits me in the feels.
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! ♡
The Sincerest Prayer
Felt like drawing her today
I've seen people talk about how they think the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC does or doesn't completely butt heads with the lore of the base game and one example of it doing so is Marika being from the Numen in the base game and the Shaman in the DLC... I've also seen someone mention they think maybe the Numen are descendants of the Shaman but honestly? What if Marika just lied? Like she very well could have - she clearly doesn't want anybody knowing about the Shadowlands, and admitting that she hails from there would definitely hint to it's existence. So maybe she lied, and the base game just lies with her, never even bothering to hint that it might be false.
