Rennala deserved so much better.
That's it. That's the post. Just the cold, hard truth.
(Might try to make a fanfic for her later, but idk. I just want her to be happy, man!)
Finally got around to making a proper intro to my blog along with some guidelines for requesting and asks. 𖹭
Yes, I can and will answer questions. You can request I do things as well since requests tend to get me motivation to actually DO things.
I'll take requests for fanfics/one-shots and headcanons for certain characters from any fandoms I am in.
I also do a lot of theories and theorize.
If you do not know the fandoms I talk about, here is a little list for ya'll.
Elden Ring (Main Game and DLC)
Dungeons and Dragons/DND
Honkai Star Rail/HSR
Genshin Impact
Armored Core 6
Cult of the Lamb (Main Game and Free Updates)
Skyrim
Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi
Bungou Stray Dogs/BSD
The Amazing Digital Circus/TADC
Epic: The Musical
Some not so popular ones I'm in are also:
Violet Evergarden
My Happy Marriage
Skul: The Hero Slayer (Main Game and DLC)
I will edit and update the list everytime I start talking about another fandom, so keep that in mind!
Anyway, as for guidelines about requests and all that, I will really do anything writing wise in fanfics, I think, as long as everything is CONSENSUAL and LEGAL then we are good. (I really can't think of any other guidelines than that.)
Alright, I think that's it. Bye ya'll.
In the middle of watching a few playthroughs of the Elden Ring DLC to find out what the story is and all that. Literally all I know is that Mohg beat the allegations somehow (good for him!), Miquella becomes a god??? and that St. Trina is here at last. Finally. Can't wait to find out what happens!
My grandma talking to my mom and asking her if she's in the middle of writing anymore books after publishing one: "Well, do you have anymore stories you're writing? I mean, you just completed one, you probably have others you're working on..."
My mother: "Mom, I just finished a book, I don't have another one just lined up! How many books can one person be writing at once anyway?"
Me, quietly sitting in my antisocial corner literally in the middle of writing a Godwyn x Reader oneshot smutfic with stacks of other WIP fics in my Google docs: *Overhearing their conversation* "..You'd be surprised..."
No, family, I'm not searching for names on baby naming sites because I'm pregnant. I'm looking for names for the little characters in my brain that will almost for sure stay inside my head for all eternity and never see the light of day.
HE'S HERE. HE'S HERE. HE'S FINALLY HERE.
MY WIFE!! 😭🥰😍😘🥲🤩☺️🥺👩❤️💋👨💍💙💒☀️🌠💫
I just know she likes Rennala. She comes over to the academy to visit on Wednesdays for teatime and just talk for hours. This also made the Ranni situation rather weird as well because she's friends with Ranni's mom and literally sees her as a child.
Ranni: "Tarnished, I wish for you to be my consort and help me bring in a new age–"
Maylis: "Oh, you're so funny, dear. Your mother said 'hi,' by the way."
She also gets along great with Miriel, also visiting him every once in a while to chat about things and gives him all her scrolls whenever she finds them on her journeys.
One thing I also am sticking with is that she just doesn't care that the demigods are literal demigods. They're just large children to her and she will always treat them as such.
Dropping in at the Haligtree every once in a while with a wrapped up bundle of home-made Preserving Boluses for Malenia.
Stopping by the Erdtree to drop off a little box of sandwiches for Morgott and literally cried when she found out he and Mohg were thrown into the sewers as children, much to his confusion.
None of them even know why she keeps doing this, they just know that every once in a while a strange Tarnished woman will drop by to quote-on-quote, "Take care of her tall children."
Morgott: "Foul Tarnished, prepare to– Oh, it's you again..."
Maylis: "Hey there, dearie! I've got some little toasties and a juice box here for you."
Morgott: "How many times must I tell you that you are not my mother? Begone!"
She's just the literal personification of, "Cute? This is a serious threat to our mission!" "It's just a baby... Hi, baby! :D" Sometimes I love my imagination.
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!
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!🪻
Guess how I spent my valentine's day morning.
The urge to write something about these damn thorns in his drip marketing is just– RAHHHHH!
Oh Queelign... My sweet, bowl cut, mentally ill son. I love you so much <3
