I love Elden Ring lore, because it's like George R. R. Martin wrote a world heavily steeped in Norse Mythology, and then Miyazaki went to read a book about Norse Mythology, got to the part where it said the gods knew they were going to die, but accepted it because it was ~fate~ and their ~noble obligation~ and ~necessary~. That upon their deaths, and after the Ragnarok, the world would be born fresh and lush and new and just...

#elden ring #How to subvert Ragnarok: #Step one: Kill the fire jotunn so Muspelheim is no longer a threat #Oops can't actually kill Surtr uhhhh let's just curse him #good enough.jpg #Step two: Banish the einherjar and redefine what a valkyrie is #Except we'll keep them in the wings in case they need to show up 15 minutes late with Starbucks to fix things #Step three: Give Fenrir the rune of death #No trust me guys this makes sense!!!! #Because he'll be banished and cursed!!! #Step 4: Ensure that - oh shit Baldr was killed anyway #And it was by Hodr?? On purpose???? #Uh oh #At least Freyr still has his blade- aaaaaand he let it out of his sight #And someone just fed themselves to Jormungandr on purpose #That better not have been Thor!!!! #Hraesvelgr is dead and we banished his warriors! #No Naglfar for us! #What do you mean the Naglfar is gone #What do you mean Odin is missing #What do you mean Loki is missing #What do you mean Heimdall took over the capital #At least Garm is mysteriously missing so he can't kill Tyr! #What do you mean Freyja just nuked Tyr in the face and drove him insane
