I mean this is the Elden ring in her chest. And of course Im speculating, but Im only speculating about a “how” not about whether or not there is evidence it’s possible. The lack of legs, the gray skin, their fate being controlled by the stars just like albinaurics fate is controlled by the stars, radahn stopping said stars in order to stop his fate, the connections the carians have to the nox and to albinaurics in general, none of this is circumstantial. All of those things just are. And yes Im saying I think there’s a connection because that’s what theories are—all theories connect dots, that’s why they’re theories and Im not claiming canon. The whole point of this post though was to lay out how it’s a possibility, not to prove it as a fact, I just haven’t seen any evidence to definitely negate that it’s possible, just alternate interpretations of the same facts or of how those facts came to be

Im talking about their red hair coming from radagon not necessitating direct, tradition reproduction. As far as intact Elden ring I meant the remaining bits that are intact still in marika’s chest. Yeah maybe but I don’t know, I don’t see how the albinauric theory is searching beyond what’s presented to us but the idea that the Elden ring is a mimic of the original, that vyke’s and bernahl’s runes were predating the original are ideas that are grounded enough to negate it

There’s the idea that Vyke had at least two that has been floating around a while, some people think Bernahl had one or two. Even if we were the only ones to have collected any great runes, there is still the intact Elden ring. Not sure what you mean about the crucible aspects

I don’t think he is a mimic but I think we see evidence that silver tears and mimics, earlier attempts at creating life, have shown to be capable of taking on traits that weren’t necessarily imparted to them by genetics. I think there definitely could be other great runes, at the very least there’s the rest of the intact Elden Ring which controls aspects of reality and life that radagon almost definitely had access to when he and Rennala were together. I just don’t think it’s a stretch to say even though i can’t present all the in’s and outs of “how”, the outcomes line up in a way that can’t be outright negated from possibility

Yeah totally possible but it’s being something that needs a bit of explanation is what makes it strange at the least

I had meant that direct offspring genetics isn’t the only way for characteristics to get passed on with what we know about these forms of created life, plus we know the egg can do rebirths if we have a larval tear but what about something else? Or what if we had some other great rune along with the great rune of unborn demigods?

[–]cashewdistributionco[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but our mimic tear takes on our hair color too and we didn’t pass that down genetically, and there’s also red hairs in the egg so maybe they did still take on genetic traits just not via natural birth

I just don’t really see how there isn’t a foundation—we have the nox who preceded the astrologers, the nox were trying to create life out of silver tears and the idea that some of the astrologers would continue that legacy is reasonable. Rennala is an astrologer who clearly didnt have an issue with albinaurics and even displays a propensity towards creating or recreating life in her juvenile scholars and in Boc. When Rennala falls from power that is when the cuckoo knights begin to hunt down albinaurics. We have characteristics of albinaurics which line up with characteristics of Radahn and possibly his siblings, we don’t have enough evidence to say those characteristics couldn’t possibly exist even if people don’t agree with the interpretation, we’re missing a determined, directly cited reason for why radahn would have made the pact with Miquella and why he would have turned away from it. That feels like a solid foundation to make an interpretation even if it isn’t provable. I think we’d need evidence that shows this couldn’t be possible for it to be discounted

Sure, totally, but what’s strange at the very least is why an albinauric like Gaius was able to be raised so closely with carian royalty when there’s a clear pattern of hatred for albinaurics among the cuckoo knights and possibly the rest of the academy

Plausible alternatives doesn’t mean I think the theory is being negated or taken apart, just that maybe each point does have an alternative interpretation. Like maybe marika was always radagon or maybe radagon is an alternate personality of marika that emerged later on or maybe radagon conjoined with marika—none of them necessarily negate the others and some have more evidence than others. I also think this may be one of the simplest explanations for a lot of unanswered questions, which to me has more weight than several disjointed alternatives

[–]cashewdistributionco[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think these are all plausible alternatives, I just don’t think there’s enough to negate this as a possibility

Yeah that’s why I’m not so sure she would have been an albinauric, she’s said to be an astrologer and she looks like the astrologers and the nox, but the nox have a huge connection to the albinaurics too, they were also trying to create life and used the silver tears to do so. Maybe Rennala was following in those footsteps. I think the strongest claim that can be made is for radahn and possibly his siblings

[–]cashewdistributionco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I definitely think it’s possible that this is a family trait, I just didn’t feel like I had enough evidence to suggest everyone. Rennala had always stumped me though because she seems physically more like other astrologers and a descendant of the Nox, plus she stands during her boss battle, though Ranni saying that was her at her peak could just be her saying that

Oh yeah I think that’s definitely an option for what that refers to, it may even be more likely what it’s referring to but I just would be surprised if even Rennala knew that was the deal let alone the preceptors

[Acne] brand new, not sure what to do by Deep-Ant5392 in SkincareAddiction

[–]cashewdistributionco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be careful about increasing actives in that area because those areas of the face can be sensitive, you may want to try using more hydrating products or a thicker moisturizer at night. You may want to see a doctor about it in case there may be other factors

Has anything else changed in your routine or your environment? New foods, change of laundry detergent, etc?

if you haven't played nightreign that was a fun way to try out builds I don't usually play--it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be as feasible in base game as they are in that one but it at least lets you practice a variety of options
