The Micolaurence text post ever.

Shoutout to the people in my replies, I blame all of you in the most positive way possible.

Poorly formatted “essay” about the connections they have that make my brain spin because yes :} new years is a time of lawlessness impulsivity: keep in mind I don’t own the actual game to confirm some things, most of this is compiled from item descriptions, cut content, reading the wiki over and over, and my own analysis. I could be totally wrong about some things + this is just my own analysis/interpretation**, have mercy upon my soul 🙏

The biggest thing about them, and the thing I simply do not shut up about if you happen to hear me talk about them, is that both Micolash and Laurence’s respective obsessions/virtues/main associated game mechanics (Insight and Blood respectively) directly influence each other. Not only do they influence each other, they also relieve the negative effects of the other stat. Why is this such a big deal to me? WELL:

Beasthood, the negative effect of taking too much blood, scales negatively depending on your Insight. The more Insight you have, the less Beasthood, and vice versa. Contrarily, Sedatives, crafted from blood(yes, Sedatives are stated to be thick ‘human’ blood and will reset your Beasthood as well, but this does not necessarily reduce it- more on this later*)

Will relieve Frenzy as their primary purpose, which is the main negative side effect of having high Insight i.e going mad.

I think this is very intentional outside of just pure game mechanics and design: there is a running theme in Bloodborne, that being that every enemy you face has succumbed to one side too heavily. BSB, the half-beast Yharnamites, Gascoigne, Amelia, Laurence, and all the other beast enemies you face have relied too much on the blood and fallen to its curse. Brainsuckers, Rom, Winter Lanterns, Micolash, and arguably other insight-heavy enemies like the Celestial Emissary are heavier on the Insight side. What makes YOU, the player, different? It is your ability to balance both.

The creatures that have gotten closest to ascension are ones that we can assume have undergone the effects of blood and insight, but still haven’t gotten there all the way. Rom is probably the biggest example, along with other Kin/Great One enemies. They are physically transformed, as the blood will do, but they are not beasts. Rather, they often have the numerous eyes that are granted with Insight.

The ending that allows the Hunter to ascend reads to me as an ending where you have successfully balanced both mediums: using Blood to tame the negative effects of Insight and vice versa. What I interpret from this in regards to Micolash and Laurence specifically is that they could have come SO CLOSE to achieving what they wanted!! If they had just worked together, and the schism hadn’t happened, perhaps Micolash would not have gone insane with steady treatments of Blood and Laurence would not have transformed with the help of his Insight being steadily raised.

Maybe it’s just me being insane but I don’t know, there’s something pretty gay to me about being in charge of/cursed by an obsession with something that only someone equally as obsessed with its opposite can cure.

I honestly think Micolash and Laurence might have even ended up in a sort of prisoner’s dilemma situation: they both think their own method is correct, and refuse to give in to the other’s perspective. In doing so, they actually end up royally screwing themselves over at the same time whereas cooperation would have led to the best outcome. Laurence, the general posterboy for the blood in general(and most other blood related things) is not someone who I imagine would be keen on giving up his faith in the substance. Especially when he’s being told this by a man who’s sanity is hung by a thread. But if only Micolash listened to HIM, his insanity would be relieved and he would go back to the mostly sensible man he might’ve been- only of course, Micolash would not see it that way. Why would he take something that is quite literally killing Laurence? I find it interesting that Sedatives are a hint of insanity(like with Edgar) yet Micolash doesn’t drop any. Perhaps he’s not the type to invest in Blood, especially if he had to watch it slowly chip away at Laurence’s health who was too stubborn to listen to him instead. You see where I’m going with this- around and around they go.

*while Sedatives are stated to be thick human blood, I have three theories about this.

1. “Derived” from Byrgenwerth implies to me that the formula has undergone some modifications. I would not be surprised if holy blood is used as a thickener.

2. I imagine most “human blood”, at the point that Sedatives are distributed more abundantly, is already tainted with holy blood. I mean, come on. This is Yharnam. Blood is the name of the game.

3. Sedatives reset Beasthood, but for you the PLAYER, your beasthood remains at more of a net neutral than your Insight which the game relies on to progress the story. I imagine that for a scholar like Micolash, who does not fulfill the role of a hunter or a soldier, beasthood would be less of a concern.

OKAY THAT ONE POINT GOT REALLY LONG I’M SORRY so I’ll rapid fire some other things about them:

-Micolash seeks to abandon his humanity in his boss form, Laurence seeks to retain it in his boss form. Micolash seeks a blessing from Kos like that which was granted to Rom, you know, the giant very not human spider. Laurence wants his memories and his head back. Neat!!

-while there seems to be clear animosity between Mensis and The Healing Church later in the timeline, I think it is often overlooked that they DID work together at some time. I can imagine The School of Mensis to be research and science heavy: looking for ways to perfect ministration technology, understand the specifics of the blood, and research what else can be made of it to further humanity. The Healing Church distributes it, covers. The School’s reputation(presumably), and uses that research to further their own ideas of ascension. Bloodborne likes to do things in threes: Willem, Laurence, and Micolash are respective leaders/founders of Byrgenwerth, The Healing Church, and The School of Mensis. Interesting note that the latter two originate from the former, who is the only still “living” character amongst the 3 as far as I can gather. He warned those morons and it meant absolutely nothing LMAO.

-There is something so satisfying to me in how Micolash is generally associated with the dark and dim: Kos- a goddess born from the watery depths, an infinite labyrinth of dust and old tomes, and dark robes of Byrgenwerth. Laurence, on the other hand, is associated with all that is bright: fire, a bright pale moon, white and blue robes of the Choir, and the candlelit cathedrals that are more wax than they are pews. Parallels! Beloved!

-fellas is it gay if we both destroy a city for our own ends. YES yes Old Yharnam specifically was destroyed by the Powder Kegs- but I have a complete crack theory that Laurence saw the Ashen Blood poisoning go down, thought “ah, that is terrible for our reputation”, and sent the then-still loyal Powder Kegs to kaboom the issue away. The Powder Kegs then begin to protect the very beasts that Laurence is trying to sweep under the rug(because panic never leads to anything good), so the Healing Church Workshop as a whole denounce them as heretics.

…but also crack theory aside I still hold him half-responsible for the fall of Yharnam as a whole. And Micolash fucking obliterated all of Yahar’gul so. Yeah. Do NOT let these 2 work together, I think they would destroy all of Yharnam if they could.

-Consider: academic rivals that end up side-by-side, foraying into the brand new promising field of human ascension with matching ambitions and stars in their eyes. That is, until a cost that neither is willing to pay(the health of the other) shows up, and they end up splitting apart in a violent schism that brings them right back to where they started. CONSIDER. For me 🥺

-The Mensis cage obscures everything BUT the eyes, the uniform of the Choir allows for mobility (even enough to fight- like with Yurie) but it blinds the user. Also: Micolash, weird crazy guy who was probably not adored, or at least not as adored as Laurence, dies surrounded by people. Laurence, the guy who put Yharnam on the freaking map, dies completely alone in a big empty room. At least, that’s how we find their bodies in the nightmare!

- “We were friends! How could you?” Is tragic to me in any interpretation

-WHY DOES MICOLASH HAVE A CALL BEYOND. That is a CHOIR SPELL TO THE CORE!! And also, iirc, shared only amongst the higher ranks. I understand him having stolen it from Laurence is the general interpretation- but I like to think that perhaps it was a gift. A show of good faith, even? 😏 to wield the very stars in one’s hands seems like a very apt gift for a guy who is obsessed with the cosmos.

-Laurence 100% stole some of Micolash’s homework on contacting Great Ones imo and the effects of insight. I don’t actually have anything to back this outside of speculation I just think it’s very funny. Endless loop of copying homework. Micolash has more insight naturally, Laurence uses this to learn of the ritual, Laurence does his ritual, Micolash copies his ritual. No credit in sight.

-Micolash has an interesting line of cut dialogue where he claims he “was the head…of this treatment church”. I don’t have the original Japanese text, but I wonder if perhaps Micolash was meant to be an NPC, still fulfilling his role as both the headmaster of Mensis AND the main scholar overlooking all scientific and arcane research on behalf of the Healing Church? If he was the head of the healing church, did an earlier version have Laurence fulfilling his theorized role as a re-incarnated hunter?

-Micolash’s ritual, which I gather(and this is where my knowledge is the most shaky so BEAR WITH ME) summoned the blood moon, seems to be a direct copy of Laurence’s ritual to summon Flora. Whereas Flora took Gehrman as a host, Mergo took either Micolash as a host, or sacrificed the rest of the school in his place. Keep in mind: The Moon rune(found at the bottom of the stairs in Micolash’s boss arena, also eerily similar to the Communion Rune that I imagine would be a big hit with Laurence) DIRECTLY states that the Great Ones are sympathetic in spirit, and answer when called upon. I don’t think Mergo nor Flora are intentionally malicious. I just think these two idiots didn’t know what they were bargaining for, or with. Fellas is it gay if we both change the sky, both sacrifice something we didn’t necessarily mean to, and both suffer in the Nightmare for our sins? Asking for a friend.

-Micolash’s first move is running away from you, Laurence’s first move is to lunge directly at you. Ah, they would have made such a horrendously destructive pairing if the divorce hadn’t happened.

-bonus note!! I have ANOTHER crack theory that the “Moon” and “Communion” Runes have some neat parallels :smear:

Moon Rune is blood red like Micolash’s blood moon, Communion is pale white like Laurence’s pale moon. Moon allows for more blood echoes, Communion for more vials. Moon focuses on the Great Ones answering when called, Communion focuses on Blood Ministration. Moon has the eye in the center surrounded by lines, almost forming another circle(perhaps, and this is a stretch, even the dias that the catalyst is meant to be at the center of?), Communion is surrounded by 3 distinct dots(Laurence, Gehrman, and…Flora? Still not certain who the 3rd dot would be). Reading runes is fun! “Beast’s Embrace” may be closer to Laurence as a character(I mean, you obtain it from him) but since Micolash has no rune to drop as a counterpart(probably because he isn’t a DLC boss), I went with striking parallels between Communion and Moon instead.

-Fellas. Final question. Is it gay if my mild interest in that which lies beyond humanity (POSSIBLY) turns into a rapid obsession/a race against time to save you from yourself and reverse the effects of this poison you so adore, only to realize you won’t hear me, you will never hear me, and it is too late for both of us to turn back? Just wondering. JUST. WONDERING. Maybe trying to stop the other’s descent got too frustrating, Micolash and Laurence both sort of strike me as stubborn pricks in their own ways. Hence the big divorce. “If you won’t see things my way then you can sit with the consequences” (said both of them, equally suffering from consequences). I can only imagine Micolash did not expect for Laurence to prove him right so soon. (It’s funny, because they’re both dead, so really neither was right.)

**(Also I just like relating my headcanons back to canon for fun, I’m not trying to say how ‘canon’ something is should influence how people make hcs. Bloodborne’s not a very romantic game in a traditional sense so this is all mostly me rambling around anyway x,D)

OKAY SORRY IM FINALLY DONE. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY. I THINK THEY HELD HANDS MAYBE. I also think they would actually literally maul each other to death if given enough reason.

#bloodborne #micolash host of the nightmare #laurence the first vicar #micolaurence #bloodborne theory #bloodborne headcanons #I could actually go on for pages I may be insane #I dunno me personally I think it is a little bit gay to have an immoral science guy at your beck and call to do immoral science for you #while you maintain a pristine and holy image that also happens to provide him with materials #imagine you’re some guy in Yharnam and now Thing 1 and Thing 2 want your eyes and blood respectively #personal hc: Micolash is anemic af(sickle cell) and Laurence is so so pissed off that he doesn’t like transfusions #I think they hate each other(bonded together by fate)#okay its 5:00 am goodnight

WITH I.O.I.

Jung Sora was an I.O.I. member from 2016 to 2017, being placed at number two in the survival show Produce 101. She was the maknae, lead dancer, and a vocalist.

Coming from Cre.Ker Entertainment, her first evaluation performance was Becky G’s Shower and she was placed in rank A. Throughout the show, the lowest number she was placed was two and switched between place one and two, constantly ‘battling’ Jeon Somi for number one.

Despite being the youngest on the show, she was well loved by the public who were captivated by her Golden Girl image, dance and vocals.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH I.O.I.

NAYOUNG

SHIP NAME soyoung

One of Sora’s very first older sisters.

Sora was lowkey scared of her and avoid her because of her ‘cold’ image but Nayoung was persistent in letting her know she could rely on her because Sora was just so tiny and alone, she needed someone to look out for her. Which was what Nayoung did.

Nayoung’s always been Sora’s voice of reason, her number one protector. Sora doesn’t think there will ever be another Nayoung for her.

A popular moment between them is Nayoung gently directing Sora on how to do something, many fans talking about how patient and kind she was with her.

As of 2024, Nayoung and Sora aren’t as close as they used to be. They’re at two different points in their lives, and their bond is still there, but they’ve faded away from one another. They still check on one another, congratulate each other’s comebacks, and talk in the group-chat with the I.O.I. members.

CHUNGHA

SHIP NAME chora

If Nayoung is her protector, Chungha is her defender. She’s always on Sora’s side, honestly— her and Nayoung practically raised that girl. Chungha is always there for Sora, and somehow always knows when something is wrong, even miles apart.

Sora was at first intimidated by her, but Chungha wanted to protect her from the world immediately, and like Nayoung, didn’t give up. Their friendship is more like of younger sister teasing older sister and making trouble for her.

Sora would practice her English with Chungha, and Chungha always looked so proud whenever she spoke English. Back then, her English was not as good as it was now.

A popular moment between them is Sora being so excited to see Chungha during Sparkling and Pass the Mic promotions every day.

As of 2024, Sora and Chungha are often in contact and both always make sure to promote each other. Sora often mentions her (as well as the others) in her lives when she’s telling stories.

SEJEONG

SHIP NAME sojeong

Sora was both envious and in awe of Sejeong. She just thought she was the perfect woman. Sejeong really saw her and had to take a double take, thinking she was a really short girl until she saw her face.

Sejeong was determined to help Sora, knowing it must be hard for a young girl like her to be surrounded by everyone older.

These two didn’t get close until they started practicing for Very Very Very, Sejeong just thinking she’s the best thing. Sejeong very much fawns over her all the time. She always feeds into her antics, she can’t help it. She can’t say no.

A popular moment between them is Sejeong pinching Sora’s cheeks in 2016 and again in 2023 when Sejeong promoted Voyage and Top or Cliff during Sora’s emcee time.

As of 2024, like most members, they’re at different points in their lives and aren’t as close as they were. They talk one-on-one sometimes but it’s mostly through the group-chat.

CHAEYEON

SHIP NAME chaera

Sora was actually a fan of DIA before Produce 101, so she was really excited to meet one of her favorite idols. Until she actually met her and was so nervous she just stood there not saying anything while other trainees talked, staring at Chaeyeon when she wasn’t looking. There’s a compilation on YouTube of Sora staring at Chaeyeon during I.O.I. and Produce 101.

Chaeyeon thought she was adorable, but that was pretty much it. She didn’t exactly want to be friends with a thirteen year old. Sora was more than fine with that, though, even if she did want to be her friend at least a little. As the show went on, Chaeyeon grew to really respect her and her desire to debut.

Chaeyeon always cheered her on and would treat her like a younger sister, letting her try out makeup looks on her since that was what she was most interested in at the time besides being an idol. Chaeyeon also gave her lots of girl advice, little hacks here and there. Definitely the cool unnie.

A popular moment of them is Chaeyeon telling Sora during their last concert, “Sora-ah, never change. You’re perfect the way you are, and you’ll only get better from now. Unnie will always cheer you on from afar, okay?” before breaking down in cheers.

As of 2024, they don’t talk very much one-on-one besides for birthdays and achievements. They mostly interact through the group-chat.

PINKY / KYULKYUNG

SHIP NAME sopink

Kyulkyung tried hard to be Sora’s friend, always managing to make her laugh in tough times. It took multiple times for them to actually be friends, though, as Sora was just generally more shy around older people. Kyulkyung knew to never take it offensively as Nayoung told her.

Sora admired her bravery to express herself but was jealous of how easily it came to her. Nayoung was the reason they got as close as they ever did.

Their relationship is more of a teasing one, where Kyulkyung provokes her to get a reaction out of her. She’d always pull Sora into trouble, which in return made a habit of Sora’s for making trouble.

A popular moment is Kyulkyung teasing Sora for a crush in her school she used to have while live.

As of 2024, Kyulkyung is always in China and Sora is always everywhere else. They’re both very busy so they don’t really talk one-on-one but do interact in the group-chat.

SOHYE

SHIP NAME soso

They were both awkward with one another throughout the show, but as time went on, it got way better. Sora thought she was so funny as she was always clumsy, and Sohye thought she was a really good dancer.

They became better friends when Sora offered to help Sohye with the choreo for a song they were paired together with. Sohye was very appreciative, especially after her rank went up after the performance.

Sora didn’t have it in her to speak up against the older trainees when one may have said something bad about her, but she’d always make sure to comfort her and just give her a space to vent.

A popular moment is when Sora defending Sohye when people make jokes about her dancing, saying she’s improved a lot.

As of 2024, they only talk through the group-chat and only wish each other happy birthdays one-on-one.

YEONJUNG

SHIP NAME yeonra

Sora thought she was so fucking cool. She wanted to be her so bad. She inspired her a lot. Yeonjung thought she was the sweetest thing who could do no wrong but was quickly proved wrong when Sora showed her true colors off camera. She thought it was funny and that Sora reminded her of herself.

Yeonjung would always be by her side when the other girls were off doing something else, not even having to say anything, just standing there with her.

Yeonjung is more soft with her than anything, always babying her despite Sora’s insistence she stops. She still teases her, but it’s all in good fun.

A popular moment is Yeonjeong hitting an impressive high note and the camera panning to Sora who looked surprised and awed.

As of 2024, Sora constantly plays WJSN’s songs despite their hiatus and bugs Yeonjung for updates on a comeback while Yeonjung always teases her about ENHYPEN babying her.

YOOJUNG

SHIP NAME yoora

Cat and mouse duo. Yoojung loves to chase for Sora’s affection and to baby her, but Sora lowkey likes the chase. It makes her feel wanted.

Yoojung does everything she can to make Sora laugh, it’s a win in her book. She’d often fight with another member to have Sora sit next to her.

Sora always makes fun of the fact that she’s now taller than her, even if it’s just an inch.

A popular moment is Yoojung and Sora accidentally kissing when Yoojung tries to sneak a kiss on her cheek and Sora turns her head at the exact same time.

As of 2024, they don’t talk every day, but it’s once or twice a week. Sora is a huge Weki Meki fan, and is always willing to listen to her talk about anything. Sora always threatens to b*rn Fantiago down for her.

MINA

SHIP NAME somina

Sora thought Mina was around her age, not a 1999 liner so she was really shocked when she found out. She was so adorable she couldn’t help but think it.

Mina was really easy to get along with, so Sora easily befriended her early in the show. To Mina, Sora was like the little sister she never wanted but loved.

Sora also thinks she’s easy to make fun of, always giggling but comforting Mina when she cried.

A popular moment is when Mina’s departure from being an emcee, Sora was there and gave her a dessert and a hug.

As of 2024, Sora is very supportive of Mina (and everyone else’s!) dramas and always watches them in her free time. They still play games together in their free time, but other than that, everything is mostly in the group-chat.

DOYEON

SHIP NAME soyeon

As of 2024, they mostly talk in the group-chat or always say hi to one another when Yoojung and Sora are calling.

Sora was shaking and blushing so hard when they first met, Doyeon was so concerned. Yes, that did go viral. Sora thought Doyeon was gorgeous, but was also intimidated by it so besides the greeting, she’d turn to talk to another trainee.

Honestly, Doyeon thought Sora disliked her at first and was like “What the hell did I do for this kid to hate me?” So it was really awkward for awhile until while preparing for Whatta Man.

They discovered they had a lot in common. Some things they liked to do with one another was watch movies, specifically horror movies together.

A popular moment is Sora snuggling into Doyeon when it was cold outside and Doyeon held her close in her jacket. One of the main reasons being for their height difference.

As of 2024, Doyeon wouldn’t relent on letting Sora getting too busy for her and so they talk almost as much as Sora and Yoojung do, mostly because they live together.

SOMI

SHIP NAME sorami

Mnet portrayed the two as rivals so well that it affected their friendship. They were friends before the first episode aired, and as time went by with Mnet’s evil editing and pitting them against one another, Sora genuinely began disliking her and vice versa.

It took a heavy toll on their friendship, and as Produce 101 got closer to ending, they both grew very sickened at being pit against each other and just missed their friendship. Sora missed Somi’s weird antics, Somi missed her teasing but sweet nature.

Sora prefers to keep her friendship with Somi more laidback and fun, so she very rarely tells her any harsh problems, but she knows Somi is always there to lend an ear to and vice versa.

A big moment for them is the last episode of Produce 101, they’re waiting for the second place to be called. Sora’s name is called for second place, both girls burst into tears and turn to hug each other at the same time. Both girls just felt so much relief that it was finally over.

As of 2024, Somi is one of Sora’s closest girl friends, and vice versa. These two are constantly seen hanging out and doing TikToks together.

It was very hard for honestly all of them to disband, but especially Sora. She had nothing to go back to, the people she talked to the most at her company was male trainees that were all three years and more older than her and she was shyer around men. The other female trainees were all older than her or leaving.

Sora doesn’t like being vulnerable in front of other people, but she cried so hard during their last concert despite trying to hold it in. She’s since gotten better. They still talk in their group-chat, and Sora refers to them as her members still, despite being in ENHYPEN as well. They will always be close to her heart as they all helped shaped her into who she was.

Unfortunately, the last time Sora saw the full group altogether in person was as when they were moving out of their dorm. Sora didn’t get to attend the I.O.I. reunion due to conflicting schedules of Drunk-Dazed promotions but did face-time the group. She didn’t even get to go to I.O.I.’s Christmas dinner in 2023.

More Rolan and Tiefling HC's

also if anyone wants to incorporate any of this in their own vision of fics, have at it. It's all just fun and I will read every Rolan fic and HC ever.

-After Mom passed, Rolan had to be head of the household. I see him working at a library, but then having to move to more stressful boring jobs for shittier people to make more money. Maybe balancing books for some accountants of something.

-Rolan has a lot of deep set self-hatred from being born a tiefling, and the lack of opportunities resulting from it. (literally from birth since he believes his mother was most likely a noble woman)

-He would try to make some of his tiefling features “less offensive” while he worked at the bottom of the ladder and was probably the only tiefling employed there.

-He could never hide his horns, but he did originally adopt his current hair style in trying to make his ears less obvious.

-He would have his tail wrap around his leg and dress over it. (Canonically this is something tieflings do, especially in crowds, to avoid their tails getting stepped on, but I’d imagine doing this for long stretches of time gets very uncomfortable. Imagine getting a tail-cramp)

-He would file his nails to as short and as rounded as he physically could.

TIEFLING NAILS HC: Tieflings have blood vessels and nerve endings that extend from their fingertips and into their nails, like a cats.

-Also like cats' nails, they have a “quick”, that if trimmed will bleed and is very painful.

-This is why all tieflings seem to have elongated nails, even if they are in a position or profession that longer nails would be a hindrance. A tieling can file their nails to be more blunt, but a tiefling would never purposefully trim their nails too short and cut the quick.

-none of this mattered when Elturel fell into hell. There were no “tolerable tieflings” anymore. -His time traveling to Baulder’s Gate is actually the first time in a decade he’s grown his nails out and let his tail swing free. It was originally because of convenience and lack of a nail file, but by the end of his journey he had actually become more confident and proud of his race and kin.

-The racism at the gate was rough, but his confidence remained intact when his letter of his apprenticeship got him and his family processed quicker than most.

-It all came crashing down when he finally met Lorroakan and it became painfully obvious the wizard had no idea he had offered an apprenticeship to a tiefling.

#rolan #rolan bg3 #tiefling #tieflings #baldur's gate 3 #hes always tried since birth to rise above his station #always had big dreams for himself #and then his family #always carried himself high on the outside with ego and confidence #while living in near poverty raising his siblings #also just imagine his nails being pristine as fuck #long almond shape and french mani dont at me
