why are you always whispering? do you live with an abuser and you are scared of setting him/ her off?

Guy’s too proud to take constructive criticism!

Maybe misbegotten or whatever species hewg actually is doesn't suffer from carpal tunnel

Maybe since his body is a bit different, that's the only comfortable way for him to hold it. Maybe his tendons are different. Or....maybe he just needs the pain so he can focus, or his arms and hands have gone numb from the work. Who knows.

He's kind of constantly grunting in pain

Then there is me, who has a shitty voice in recordings.

All from soft content creators that speak about lore have asmr voices and are conventionally attractive. Have you seen vaati’s face?

@@KedamojoI don’t, how does he looks like?

Yes! They are certainly an unlikely duo, both from vastly different backgrounds, but my gosh I'm so glad they came together. Her selflessness to watch over him and his softness towards her is the most beautiful father/daughter relationship ever.

@@miss_chalice Absolutely! Thanks for another banger video. Shall be wonderful to fall asleep to on repeat listens 😆

I hate to imagine either one of them just burning to death in the Roundtable Hold when they could hunker down in Stormveil with Nepheli or even take up shop in Volcano Manor as a favor from Patches.

I think the thing holding Hewg together was the chains. That is why when they break so does he. That binding was so big a part of who he was that he lost it all once he was freed. He was utterly free, not bound in body or mind. But the consequence of that is he lost all he had during his time being bound. I think Roderika understands that which is why she is heartbroken and why she doesn't take him away from there. He may be free but without the Roundtable he has nothing. Not even her, his adopted daughter. So she leaves him there as a final act of familial devotion.

It’s not friendship, it’s far more than that As Hewg stated himself after Roderika progresses in Spirit Tuning, he sometimes views her as a daughter, and given the way Roderika stays by his side no matter what, it’s likely she ends up viewing him as a father of sorts The two are inseparable, and it breaks my heart to see them at the end

There are also wolf statues in Farum Azula so this wouldn’t necessarily match up with anyone.

​@@dylans1523I believe the ones in farum azula look like the red wolves specifically, with their pointy noses and longer necks

but miquella is male and hewg say ‘she’

That's really interesting and fitting!! Thank you for sharing the different languages variations. It's always fun to see what the localisation team chose to name the enemies. Although Misbegotten is a word that can mean so much, "Bastard" is definitely a more focused and stark title to give them

Wow, thank you for the translation. I would never have realized what "Bastardo" could possibly mean in English lol

@jmarra07 there are words that may sound similar, but have different meanings. Vagabond is a thing in English, it used to have the same meaning in Brazilian Portuguese for the word " Vagabundo", but now, this word means a dishonest person, a scoundrel.

Exactly, there are several "similar" Latin language words that don't have the same translation in English, both for the reason mentioned above but also English is a gestalt of several languages

Ironic as I am a bastard and Hewg is very much my vibe

Thank you! And yes, I personally believe Marika found herself in too deep, too quickly. Shattering the Elden Ring was definitely her out. She is, by far, not innocent, but just like the gods and humanity alike, she is imperfect. And thank you also for the suggestion! You are right, I think I would like to cover his story as well some time!

I think when Marika was having a hard time winning against Caria/Liurnia she got desperate and thought the solution was just to destroy her enemy from within. So she devised a plan, but this plan is kind of blasphemous as it involves fragmenting yourself like how I believe Malenia fragmented herself with Millicent as her "pride". Removing this pride because she was about to face Radahn, said to be one of the most powerful demigods, so she will not hesitate to use unprideful powers (such as unleashing the full power of Scarlet Rot) just to win. Marika needs someone to infiltrate the Carian royalty but this task cannot be given to anyone else. That's why she divided herself to birth Radagon, the side of herself that values the Golden Order the most. This is an insurance that whatever Radagon does he will never betray the Golden Order. But the plan backfired because now we have a Marika that has less love for the Golden Order and a Radagon, a sleeper agent, who loves it above anything else even more than his family with Rennala explaining how he left them easily. Marika now longing to end her wars of unifying everything under the rule of the Erdtree but this does not exactly mean under the Golden Order. I think it is easier to replace than the Erdtree. Now she might have no direct control on Radagon so she only knows he serves the Golden Order but she doesn't know if he still serves her. So she recalls Radagon back to forge herself whole again. But this could've been a trigger. Ranni now is under the control of the Two Fingers, her father left and her mother is turning insane. Her family shattered and her fate sealed to walk the same path as the woman who destroyed her life. So Ranni, along with her brothers Rykard and Radahn devised a plan to exact revenge to upend everything from the Fingers to the Erdtree and everything in between. Rykard helps Ranni to plan the Night of Black Knives and Radahn halted the stars to pause Ranni's fate of being a God until she finishes their revenge unbeknownst to him that Ranni's fate was actually finding the Fingerslaying Blade all along. But Malenia happened and Radahn's mind fades because of the Scarlet Rot. That's why I feel like the order of killing Radahn hurts Ranni but it is a kind of mercy and a necessary evil. Now, first meeting Ranni she uses sleep, an ability more associated with Miquella. Also she knows Torrent and the steed's former master. What if Miquella and Ranni coerced Marika to disband the Golden Order (Miquella having the power to influence others or charm them also would want to destabilize the Erdtree for his Haligtree)? Marika now convinced, tricks Maliketh and helps Ranni steal a fragment of Destined Death. Maybe she had to trick Maliketh instead of asking for it directly because Maliketh might suspect something that could be tied directly to Marika or maybe Maliketh will not approve of the plan. The Night of the Black Knives happen, and every piece is in place. Except, Ranni betrays Marika. Instead of granting Godwyn true death she tried to circumvent "death of soul and body" by killing Godwyn's soul, dealing a solid blow not only to the Golden Order but turning Marika's Golden Child and firstborn into something horrible. Then she offers her body to be released from the clutches of the Fingers. Two birds. This could explain why: - Marika went berserk and shattered the Elden Ring - Why Radagon was trying to mend it (he was loyal until the end) - Why Black Knife Assassins was in Caria's estate near the end of Ranni's questline. They were close to Marika and could have been sent by her to hunt Ranni down but when they arrived at the estate only Blaidd and Iji was there and Ranni's plan was already in full bloom. - Why Radahn halted the stars even though he is a fan of Godfrey So sorry for the long text and lack of good formatting. I am very excited for the DLC and I believe Messmer = Miquella. Thank you for reading.

Yes!! It was a last-minute decision to craft it, but I'm so glad I did! It's very fun to bonk it around

I thought so too, but I think the spirit tuning person was St. Trina . But idk lol

@@mysticfox1663 nah, st, trina was proven to be miquella and miquella was not the one surrounded by 3 wolves as that predates him

@@mysticfox1663 you do realize, you can prove miquella is trina right?

I really enjoyed doing the Millicent LorePlay, it's still one of my favourites to this day! Thank you so much for your continued support, it means the world

@@miss_chalice I didn’t expect a reply, however I hope you’ve a great day and remember to shine on. Your example and work, while it may not seem like it, helps a lot of people. For example it helped me pass a vast majority of my subjects in my finals.

Thank you!! I am so pleased to hear that. The writing, editing and crafting are so rewarding for me to do and I love that YOU love them too! It feels super productive to not only have an immersive story as a result, but physical things like a lil hammer!

​@@miss_chalice You are welcome! I love to hear that you have a lot of fun doing it and that the whole process also feels rewarding to you! The little hammer is amazing too.
