Fear and Hunger - The disturbing reality of love 

cant wait to see "The Divorce" and the "Child Custody"

The fact that Sylvian sees "Marriage" as a fusion of two beings instead of a binding ritual of love strongly indicates that the old gods really don't understand humans. And maybe, just maybe, it says something about what "Marriage" is for the old gods...

"Never heard of fear and hunger" "Clicks on video" "2 minutes later" What the FUCK is this game!?

Fear and Hunger taught me that you have to lose an arm and a leg to get married. That and no threesomes apparently.

There's also a marriage between a Lizardman, and a Yellow mage somewhere. The combinstion of a powerful warrior, and a powerful mage. A truly formidable oponent.

I can only imagine what Cahara had to say to D'arce to get her to consent. D'arce: "You want to WHAT?" Cahara: "Trust me, it's to save humanity."

Enki can also become an abominable marriage if you fail to recruit him in terror and starvation mode, and its supposed to be a fight but its bugged at the moment, resulting in an instant win

Hear me out - I'm convinced that the the regular Guards are Marriages themselves (either with other guards or prisoners) when you compare them to the player Marriage, with them having above average strength, face being weirdly molded, right arm bigger than the left. Exclusively to the guards, they have unnaturally long "stingers"which might be their own personal bonus they got from Sylvan.

Even if the meta reason for it is that the dev didn’t want to cross that line, the fact that trying to become a marriage with a non-consensual partner leads to an agonizing death has some really fascinating implications. It more or less implies that sexual assault is an act so vile and evil that even the Gods that embody the horrific aspects of life reject those who would commit it. It also implies that it's an act of evil invented by mortals. I'm not sure why people think that the dev being uncomfortable with the subject somehow invalidates the fact that they made it canonical lore. And it *is* canon, given that they've made changes to characters in order to maintain consistency about it. The fact that it being canonically considered an irredeemably horrible act to the same Gods that are noted as being cold, cruel, and indifferent to mortal suffering should be taken as being consistent with the settings portrayal of humans being those most cruel to humans. The entire point of the first game was that the New Gods, despite being human, were far more hostile, abusive, and _downright EVIL_ towards humanity than the Old Gods ever were. How does the Gods not tolerating rape contradict that? Answer: It doesn’t. If anything, it's rather disturbing that there are players who are genuinely so mad that they can't participate in pedophilia in the game, that they try to come up with excuses for why it doesn’t make sense that they're punished for it. They completely miss the point of the first game and fail to have the realization of "wow, maybe the Old Gods punishing rape is a sign of how fucked up humans are, particularly when compared to the Old Gods that they portray as being monstrous." Trying to argue with the Dev about the lore they wrote. While ignoring the fact that they're saying that they want to be able to commit secual assault on a minor. I get that F&H is a pretty fucked up game, but it shouldn't be rocket science to realize that arguing that you should be allowed to commit CSA is a certified "I'm a PoS" moment.

I had to make a marriage one time due to both of my party members losing their legs. It was a long crawl to the circle. A good item that has helped me tremendously is using a soul stone on the big fish thing in the mines after you kill him. His stone makes it to where whoever holds it can’t lose limbs or bleed, and that helped me a lot for the mid game.

Sounds very romantic.

If I had a nickel for every indie game where "love" is represented as a grotesque fusion between two people, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Can't wait to see "The Taxes" and "Feudal Lawsuits"

So the human hydra.... was an Orgy

Even the old gods were like, "Miss me with that pedophilia shit. If you're gonna bring little kids, they better be dead." Wholesome?

Al-Merr: Jesus with Hasta La Vista Sylvian: Aphrodite but more insane Gro Goroth: Shiva probably.

F&H is absolutely genius as far as it’s world-building, themes and concepts go. Glad it’s finally being recognized as being the impressive artistic statement that it is.

The weirdest addition of sex I have seen in a game

I actually love how you cannot "show love" to the girl, not only because she doesn't wan't to, but also, and i read this on the wiki, because the old gods don't aprove of such things. They can create a marriage of flesh and twits the world into abberations beyond comporehension, but don't you dare touch a child innapropiately or you will know what word comes after fear

This reminds me of Rebecca Sugar's comment on the Gem fusions in Steven Universe being an allegory for consent. Of course, this is much more permanent, graphic, and altering.

I would like the game to have a perfect marriage where instead of a monster the player becomes something beautiful

Not only did you explain marriage really well but you also mentioned people and enemies that too went through the process likely that's some quality video making I must say 🤙🏼❤️

Rainworld, Blasphemous and Fear & Hunger?! Love the range of games you are covering and thanks for the interesting content

"Ask her to marriage they said, the worst she can say is no, they said"

sweet, eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension

I never got sex ed so I'm glad youtube recommended me this.

Yes I have been so afraid. Yes I have been, so distant, consistently indifferent.

Me and who?

Always awesome to see more F&H content on youtube 👍👍

My first thought after getting The Marriage: "Whoa, I got a titty on my left now. Nice!"

Marriage: And this…is…to go… even further beyond.

I think im gonna stay single

You remind me a lot of Zullie the Witch from the Dark Souls fandom. I like that the videos are short informative and to the point. I've never played fear and hunger but I love all these strange details

Watching F&H videos after spending 10+ hours of restarts just barely finishing an ending E run is wild, there's so much stuff I didn't see even after trying every character and trying a bunch of different things

The presentation here reminds me of Zullie the Witch, in all the best ways

About the thing with the child... She's *spoilers* and *spoiler's* child. It makes sense sylvian doesn't want harm onto her.

The marriage in the thicket is actually sir Seymour and buckman, and they only appear in the thicket if you exhaust their dialog before saving the other members of their party

Thanks for this video. Made me understand more about human nature, the nature of marriage and why we, humans, get involved in relationships

Zullie the witch for fear and hunger 🙏

Epic videos brother. always been interested in fear and hunger

Ah, the ugly truth of marriage, personified.

Thank you, finally understand why u become an abomination from simply boning someone

the anti-depressant thing was way out of left field lmao

0:50 I am a mature adult i Am a mature adult I AM A MATURE ADULT

Hard to believe this video introduced me to Fear and Hunger

Fear and hunger makes me even more asexual than I already am

"Beautiful marriage of flesh" Are you Sylvian?

0:25 such an iconic duo

Are not we gonna talk about the fact that Ser Seymour and the Buckham prince tried to perform a marriage and it completely failed?

We don't talk about Love Town....

thanks for making this vid!! theres not a lot of vids covering the marriage, its a rly interesting concept too. glad i found this!

That's a dark and funny way to represent the different endings of marriage. Don't just use logic alone or feeling alone for finding a partner.

Too bad if you don’t like the person cause you stuck with them forever

Holy moly this is disturbing, it reminds of Scorns ending.

Nice video! It is atmospheric and informative! Good choice of music and animation. I would just add that Alll-mer is an ascended god and not an old god. Keep up the good work!

Really interesting. Keep it up, I hope your video gets more views!

Just remember: Silvian says YES to gay marriage!

1:14 So, Ser Seymor and Buckman... 🤨😳

For some reason i got recommend at middle of night, but the video is awesome

Abominable marriage reminds me of Tomerry/Love Town from Library of Ruina......

I thought moonless guards were moonscorched and perhaps a foreshadow to what the sequel will focus on since they come out of nowhere without any explanation of what they are and you can ask about some lore about the sequel from the new gods if you come back to FH1 with knowledge from termina

Very interesting and informative!

Ao basically dont have sex on weird ritual circles, solid advice

idk what this was about but God help us all who wacthed this

Honestly, I'm more puzzled than shocked.

Sounds like that alchemical bond between a man and a woman

RU-vid moderation: 👨‍🦯

As someone who's never been in a relationship, yeah there are worse relationship outcomes-

poor moonless had to watch as D'arce and Rav smashed

not surprised the most played part is the best part

Do not marry! You will not be happy!!!

Great content dude ❤ love this game

It got it's own ecosystem down there in the dungeon.

And those two became one flesh... Didnt knew the God can make a joke

The sex is so good in fear and hunger you become the perfect being

In cut version of termina, there is marriage between priest and child. You can also find many other marriages in termina as well

How interesting! This information will not impact my already deep distrust of marriage and dislike for commited relationships at all

The Centaur in F&H2 was originally going to be a Marriage between Needles and some beastlike creature. You can find the cut content of the Needles Centaur sprite online.

Wait, what if all the insane monsters in the game.. the guards, the harvestman and all, they were once humans that did marriage and it turned them into... monsters?

Wow this game is magnificent

I thought this going to be social commentary not a video on a horror game

Yeah, that's... merging with a loved one is tempting, but it comes at a heavy cost...

Moonless guards are... Guards, and Moonless wolves. I think the worst part here is that marriages can only be performed with willing participants to my knowledge, meaning that the wolf must have been desperate enough to consent.

I will show this to every girl complaning about facials

What is love, baby don’t hurt me

Do it Do it.

Looks like the devs has a fascination with Mary Shelley.

You think "how weird and creepy can it be ill try it" lol

Yes I have been so afraid

"marriage was defeated" Assertive, mysterious

So, RU-vid recommended, is there something you want to tell me?

This was recommended to me at 3am.Just wth?

this messed up mechanic is pushing me to try the game just to do it

I've read a Goddess story before, she loves human so much that she cant handle human wars, she decided to mixed humans with her skin to save them all. That's how she express her love. Too much love that its so creepy to an extent.

I knew it "love" was evil.

I love how casually a sentence like "Don't fuck kids though" flies past your brain when you're learning about Fear and Hunger, it doesn't even phase you, until you go "Wait, why not though?" before this is Fear and Hunger drawing a moral line somewhere.

Jokes aside, I think a Divorce of Flesh would be splitting the Marriage back into two people. Perhaps they would not be the same two beings that they once were. Looking more warped and both having mixed features of the two participants.

I was so truamatized at the first scene😭😭

I'm not gonna sleep easily tonight

andrew tate was right, im not getting married
