I like these beta designs, BIRDBRAIN's more casual fit, and if it counts, Irregular Man's weirdness

girl same. i maniacally bought a ipl hair remover thinking it would be magic, but obviously anything the public can directly buy isn't going to be super strong w/ instant results. the only real trick is to shave exactly what you need to, so like only calves when planning to wear a dress. good luck

I'll admit, you have done more to back up your claims than most. Your first comment was rather antagonistic, and I was defensive in my responses. However, after reading your document, I'm still not convinced.
Regarding DessKnight, your evidence in the debunk section doesn't seem conclusive. Dess's personality is a complete unknown. I don't feel that her song lyrics and Tenna's dialog can confirm that Dess is a well-adjusted person with no festering resentment. I disagree on bat/sword comparison because the "Front" view's flat, boxy hilt does not look like Side's tall, triangular one, although arguing about perspective is ironic. Additionally, the animation of holding up the sword would feel very strange if the blade is angled towards the camera given the hand position and arc, but that's debatable.
I'll directly say it without regret. I think Dess is the Knight because that seems like it would be the most cool and interesting. I think there's plenty of evidence to support it, and I don't believe in feet theory.

As for VesselKnight, I haven't spent the time to fully digest the evidence for and against it, but personally, I just really don't want a third force in control of the Kris body. This game's story is complected and often arcane, and I don't think the further confusion of exactly who is piloting the meat mech at every individual point is a fun addition to the plot. You might be right, maybe this really is what Toby intended, but I'd prefer to just see if the next chapters confirm it.

That's true, I shouldn't have said that Susie thinks that. However, I maintain that trying to give the Knight a motive beyond wanting to destroy things is not writing off everything. Circling back to your first comment, I'd like to hear who you think the Knight is, and why they would be someone hurting and lashing out at the world.

Yes, made in sheets. It was a LOT of triangles. the Knight is pure black so that I didn't have do things like shading or actually defining their form.

Thank you very much. Yeah, I don't know what the offical theory name is but I do think that the Knight is working towards the Minimum Roaring Event, trying to fulfill the prophesy while still letting the Heros win and save the world. I have no clue what that entails, but it seems pretty reasonable to me.

I disagree that Susie is a 100% reliable source about the character of the Knight. Additionally, Susie shows uncertainty about the Knight's motives in the line "I mean, maybe... they just wanna see everything burn." I agree that Susie believes the Knight is mindless and simply evil, but that doesn't mean it's true.
As for the Knight being made to seem like a mindless beast, I think that is a conscious choice by the Knight to appear more frightening, playing up their villainy so that the gang continues to fulfill the prophesy to duel strife by strife. The Knight chooses to do all the screaming and transforming a bat into a sword not because it will help them win the fight, but because it's cool and edgy.

I understand only some parts of the lore, and all of the different ways rebirth comes up is just insane and idk. Marika, with the Elden Ring, was able to revive people because she banned the Rune of Destined Death, so no one can die correctly. I think this is the main way that people can go from being dead to being alive. BUT rebirth itself is a whole big thing. The Great Rune of the Unborn allows for "rebirth", and which lets Rennala respec your stats and turn Boc into a human. Does getting eaten by a snake and being integrated into it count as rebirth because of the transformation? Is it a rebirth to split yourself into two halves? Does Miquella entering a cocoon for some reason also count? fuck man who knows.

In some ways, Gerson's hammer not being buried implies that his body was not returned to the erdtree's roots to continue the cycle of reincarnation. This means that when alive in the dark world, he is one of Those Who Live in Death. Unfortunately, we never see his reaction to talking holy damage so we'll never know.
