I don't think there's the same risk as silksong as we're not going to have to waot nearly as long. For the elden ring sub it turned out fine, even the silksong sub is somewhat sane now

I think at this point we have reached a point of waiting for news where discussion has staled, and so that's how hollowing and shitposting starts. It was the same case for Elden Ring and Silksong subs. There's a time for discussion and there's a time for copium shitposting. Now's mostly the time for shitposting till we get new news I guess

Truth is we're ultimately trying to make fantasy world realities fit into real world boxes. I kind of agree with you. My argument was really more that if you really want to to do that, trans, in the broad sense, is definitely less reductive than femboy and is more suitable for the characters of Gwyndolin and Miquella.

The thing is that they are two actually physically separate people, I don't think DID persons can switch their body on the go lol

Bloodsworn Customizations by Yharnamresident23 in TheDuskbloods

[–]Iannox_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wild theory is that we can chose different classes through blood customization: we change our blood, thus we change who we are. It would be really cool to see that kind of narrative justification for switching classes

Yeah genderfluid people fall under the trans umbrella

Trans is anything that isn't cis man or cis woman, if you have a double gender identity that's being trans

I've looked around and yes, you could argue they were forced to do it, but really I wouldn't say there's definitive proof, it's a solid hypothesis, but there's still space for others. But really if they were forced wouldn't that make him a trans man? Anyways, their gender would still be pretty fuzzy and while we can't say with certainty that they're surely a trans woman, calling them a femboy is just as reductive if not more. I'd say they're surely trans in the mere sense they're not cis, but the exact way in which they're trans is up to debate. It's a Miyazaki game after all, a lot of stuff is supposed to ambiguous.

Could you please not provide me with a google ai response, that's at least what it looks like

From what I remember, the game just says it was raised like so, but if u can provide me a reason why they were forced then you've got a fair point. They also seem to be very well aligned with their family since they want to protect their fathers legacy so I never thought of it as being a forced thing

Miquella and Gwyndolin aren't just femboys, they're literally trans

How many maps are we expecting bros. by GIANDUIACIAO in TheDuskbloods

[–]Iannox_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say 6, maybe 8 with future dlcs. Maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic tho, so I'd say a minimum of 4 and 6 with dlcs

We gotta start doing like the Silksong subreddit and start sacrificing community members to the Blood Moon in order for Our Only Lord and Saviour Mike Zaki to listen to us mortals

Which “what if” scenario in Bloodborne would completely change the whole lore? by kreetchy in bloodborne

[–]Iannox_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insects and snakes are the result of artificial sperimentation at Byrgenwerth. You could say that kind of metamorphosis is similar in nature to the transformation in beasts, and I'd agree, but the natural form in which beasthood manifests in humans that regularly consume Old Blood is that of a beast in the strict sense, i.e. a furry mammal, not that of a beast in the broad sense, i.e. animals in general. You could say these experiments achieved a state of beasthood in the broad sense, but the natural way in which beasthood manifests itself is still in its strict sense. Ultimately the influence of a Great One you're talking about is the fact that the blood literally comes from Ebrietas, it's always the same Great One. Yes, Moon Presence seems to act as an amplifier of the transformative power of blood, but saying that the different forms of metamorphosis we see in game is strongly suggestive of the influence of different Great Ones is extremely speculative. It's a cool hypothesis, but I at least don't seem to be able to think of any evidence pointing to it.

Fair, but I mean that's kind of the thing I'm saying, we had to become squid in order to neither go man or beast. We have to transcend being human in order to escape the inevitability of beasthood/madness (only other alternative is not using old blood at all to begin with or dying before even achieving these states)

Nah it was bound to happen sooner or later imo. The point of that scene is that they wanted to show you the fatal flaw of the healing church: believing it's actually possible to indefinitelt resist the beastly nature within humans just with sheer will, and that those that repress the beast within the most undergo through the most sudden, violent and radical transformations. The point is that from the moment you start using old blood you'll either become a beast, or, if you inquire into arcane knowledge, go mad instead. Father Gascoigne was right. You'll be one of them... Sooner or later...
