#bloodborne is a fun journey lol

Small crisis regarding my former mariadeline impression

This post is basically just:

But I kinda need to put my thoughts here

I've been thinking recently back on my days when I still saw Gehrman as a ‘creep’, and it was a point in Maria’s story that she hated herself for feeling attracted to Adeline who WAS below in a status. In that version, she was deeply concerned of taking advantage of her authority - because she subconsciously projected, and sort of saw Gehrman in herself. Been long ago, but after I revisited the lore bit that triggered it, I was hit back with just how many layers have to be undone to get to mariadeline ship being fulfilling and happy. We have the fact that Adeline still addresses Maria as superior ('lady' in localisation, '-sama' in original, sama is used to politely, formally address ones of higher rank). The subordination was probably never broken in canon!

Also, Maria didn't want Adeline to become a Blood Saint but Adeline wasn't convinced, most likely out of her pursuit to be someone meaningful - "grooming" of Blood Saints isn't canon, in Japanese original it says that they merely were prepared physically, to produce unique blood within their body, so that certainly allows there to be willing, conscious ones. I feel like Maria would have a huge weight of guilt for failing to convince her that she didn't need to put herself through this.

But things also get soooo much worse around Research Hall, because Maria is associated with the reason why these experiments are a thing to BEGIN with! Yes, evolution is nice and all, but patients are writhing in pain and beg for it to end. That meant Adeline too - not only she mutated horribly and Maria was no longer able to see her beautiful face, but also Adeline is restrained with more belts than any of the other patients, and then additionally restrained to the chair. She must have had it extremely hard if they had to put extra effort in holding her still... My guess is that Adeline was going too rabid when devoid of brain fluid for too long. And Maria had to watch her go through this, mutating physically and forgetting her worth psychologically. But who knows, what if none of that had happened if Maria didn't "help" with Fishing Hamlet? Someone who took her own life over a collective crime strikes me as someone more prone to blame herself, ALL herself, rather than sharing guilt. She did not come after throats of Willem and Gehrman for initiating Fishing Hamlet massacre, despite the fact that the leaders are probably more guilty than the followers, you know...?

I wonder if the real reason Maria went nonverbal with Adeline (Adeline being accustomed to her walking in without a word, Maria giving her the balcony key without explanation since Adeline still thinks it is "a charm" when we meet her) was not shyness but anxiety. Maybe she felt like she didn't even dare to touch her, maybe she was not able to start talking to her without crying - and she needed to hold it back. She wanted to stay strong and worthy of Adeline’s respect, even if she probably didn’t deserve it.... But Adeline deserved someone to admire, rather than the gods that only make people feel small.

I mean, the status imbalance itself is already a very fat hint that they never got official and whatever was there from one or both of them probably lingered in the status of unresolved romantic tension until the end. The fact that Adeline still sees Maria as her superior even as a patient effectively hints that it was still the case back then - so as a Blood Saint, and before that. Basically, the only time in canon they COULD have been in true relationship is during Research Hall events, but I think the setting full of pain, misery, fear, insanity, body horror and death was uhhh... not very favourable for happy fluffy love to bloom. Adeline was going way too caught up into Eldrich truth to care about something as human - an requiring her humanity - as normal relationship, and Maria, the one who would care enough to pull her back, failed to do so at least two times by now.

_______

So yeah, all in all I briefly addressed that mariadeline probably never came to fruition in canon, then I forgot all about it and got sold on happy portrayal of the ship within fandom, but now I am thinking back on it and considering even more nuances. I’ve just grown so used to take this ship as a given that it does feel like a slight crisis to realise that they probably never dated? There is a possibility though; Nightmare features a hunter version of Maria, that she forsaken in “reality”, ie Nightmare dials back into troubled and painful past. So maybe it dialed Adeline back TOO - to her more desperate, tormented state as a patient, when she still wasn’t Maria’s girlfriend too; when in “reality” she DID, in fact, feel better about herself and the women got to be happy witch each other for just brief time... Again, past Adeline already being a mutant. Like, odds are, all stuff depicting mariadeline happy and established when Adeline was a Blood Saint, or before so, or a patient that still looked human is an AU? Because it is not filling blank spaces, but contradicting canon? It is just that... I was not THINKING about it this way much? That so many things we just assume and take without questioning in fiction actually are rather different in reality?

I am probably becoming very old like I said before, but it is even strange how we as fans can look at two characters caring about each other and instantly jump into fluffiest, most shippy interpretation, forgetting the nuances. Like... dear god, this ship has so many underwater rocks (no pun intended).

#bloodborne #mariadeline #saint adeline #lady maria of the astral clocktower #bloodborne headcanons #bloodborne observation #*cries a waterfall and squeezes my clothes soaking wet with my own tears into a bucket* #every single time i analyse this ship it gets more and more sad #again i know recently i sound like an old lady #there are like 0 happy things about these two characters #why their lives have to suck so much...? god #but yeah... similar crisis as when i realised that valtomura actually crashes and burns as far as canon goes #like..... wait this whole time we were dwelling in an AU? #again there is a difference between 'canon never stated it' and 'canon contradicts it' #i am having one crisis after another recently #maria's clothes aren't actually masculine but just practical? micolash fails to deliver spirit of mensis???? #and now 'mariadeline didn't happen in canon'???? #i will soon make an iceberg of this sort of realizations #bloodborne is a fun journey lol #by fun i mean all my blorbos are depressed and there is nothing to smile about in their lives

i did overall really enjoy elden ring… in hindsight though, i think the reason i didn’t get as into it was because as i played i couldn’t help but feel that it had a problem with cohesion. there’s so many beautiful areas and different stories and mechanics and themes and symbols, but at least while i was playing i felt like it was just too Much. there was a lot of breadth, but at the expense of depth. i don’t know if this is a general critique or maybe just a matter of it not being my cup of tea — i just feel that the story and game mechanics are pulled in so many different directions that it just doesn’t all work together in the end. there was a lack of cohesion, something i think open-world games run the risk of already. but where games like skyrim and breath of the wild succeeded by having a consistent throughline, i felt it was missing in elden ring. the game was absolutely stunningly gorgeous! i just wish there had been a bit more tying it all together.

i’d love to know more about other people’s experiences though!!!

#it kinda felt like everyone was just fucked off doing their own thing #one of the best pair of areas though in my opinion are caelid and the haligtree #because theyre so deeply connected to the relationships and interactions between characters #even volcano manor got that benefit!!! #but so many other places im just like ok but why #why is that whole town in liurnia sunk. just for funsies. we r not telling <3 #i even think of other fromsoft games like bloodborne. u ask me what bloodborne is about in 3 words im gonna say werewolf eldrich horror #but elden ring didnt feel like it had that cohesion for me #like its trying to be About so much that it kinda fails to be about anything at all #also so many enormously important plot points are just so fucking easily missable dont @ me i was here for when they didnt even #give you npc markers 😭😭😭 #i really unironically think the game would have benefitted so much more if there were more sections where you could coop with npcs #dont Tell me millicent is on a journey. Show Me. let me go with her #let me runn around with blaidd in nokstella #getting to do that with mini ranni was so FUCKING fun lol and it gave ranni SO MUCH more character #but like …. the other characters feel so flat in comparison idk #this is a whole other post tho lol #elden ring

So it turns out not playing video games since I was 16 did in fact affect my ability to both pick and play them.

#bad at video games #me #text #played bloodborne for 7 hrs to not beat the 1st boss no not that one either #trackmania is boring as fuck #crew 2 has confusing ui how the fuck do i find a coyote #did Journey or the one with the samd but dont wanna replay it anymore bc i cant find one symbol #the witness was fun but made me feel dumber the longer i went on and had to google more and more #and also had mixed reviews some ppl REALLY hate it l #*lol #maybe i do minecraft. or chicory ive heard is good #im gonna try the lara croft game first

Hi, all! I’m quite late with this but I decided to put a small friends and mutual appreciations post in hopes of brightening up the end of this year a little bit. ❤️ If you were tagged, please make sure to check below for a small little message from me.

I just wanted to give a few special shout outs to those that have taken out the time to reach out and interacted with me past my ask box or we just see each other often.

The messages are ordered by your URL, so you might have to scroll for awhile before you see your messages. I’m so sorry lmao. 

Happy New Years, everyone!

@25th​​, Nonnie, the Young Genius. bro, remind me how old you are 🧍‍♀️ Like my brain CANNOT fathom the thought that you’re so skilled at SO many things and you’re not even in your twenties??? PLEASE SPARE THE TALENT. i will even accept crumbs. But I’m writing to tell you that you are such a wonderful presence on my dash. I always look forward to your gfx. They’re so SO good and you’re improving from one post to another. Like WOW. Now, you’re even starting an art blog, too? You’re so dedicated to the arts. I respect that a lot. Your hard work and commitment will bring you very far in life, whatever you decide to do. 

I love interacting with you. You’re such a big sweetheart and full of positivity and energy. I look forward to seeing more of your art and gfx ❤️

@biscuitwalk​, Dann, the AK Wiz. Dann, I know you’re not as active on here so idk when or if you will ever read this but I want to say that I miss you and your creations so, so much. I will say it a hundred times over and OVER but you inspire me so goddamn much. You have no fucking idea. Your works are absolutely gorgeous and unique. I can look at it once and I can instantly recognize your style (and your cute lil’ pufferfish <3). The way you utilize colors and implement various techniques, shapes, textures into your work. Goddamn, you’re so good. I always look to your work if I ever need inspiration and they help me brainstorm. God, I wish I could put it into words how much I adore your works.

We didn’t really talk for long but you seemed like such a kind and fun person to be around. I wish you the best in your future endeavors, wherever you are. Stay safe <3

@elriccs, Mirai, the Short King. 🧍‍♀️ ok look I know, I know I’m TERRIBLE at replying to you and I’m so fucking sorry. I absolutely love to talk to you but my dumbass cannot seem to reply in a timely manner LASELKSAL. That’s on me and I gotta do better. Anyways!!! Thank you SO fucking much for always leaving such kind messages on my work. I swear to god you’re one of my biggest hype man and I ALWAYS look forward to reading your tags. They’re so funny and it makes me all tingly and happy inside. Bro, like, you just radiate big fun vibes, bro.

It’s been kinda dull not seeing your beautiful soulsborne gifs and your game rants. Let’s catch up soon. <3 stay safe and well!

@nathanprescutt, Benn, the Man. BENNNNNNNN.  I love you a lot bro. I know we haven’t had long conversations for some time and I hope I can change that! You were my first friend on this blog and I will always appreciate it. I remember us just geeking out over your works and how I would always send you a gfx request like once a week LMAO. The one thing that I have always appreciated about you was the fact that you’re very opinionated (if not, very vocal on your stance on things) and you hold your ground. There were a few time where you encouraged me to speak on topics that I think I shouldn’t and that stuck with me for quite awhile. I’m still a nervous rambling mess when it comes to debates but just know that the one time you supported me to voice my opinion--I hold it very dear to my heart. 

While I don’t spend much time together, I will always remember our animal crossing session. It was  so much fun just trashing and chilling on your island. Especially the bar :( that bar was fucking AMAZING. Maybe once FFXVI comes out, we can geek out hehe

Also, thank you so much for sending in photos of all your doggos, omg. I miss seeing them so much I hope they’re doing well. Stay hot, my German bro lol. Ich bin sehr dankbar, so eine tolle Freundin zu haben. ❤️❤️❤️

@noxdivina​, Lin the Big Dick Daddy Kind. The church is open for business bitch and I’m here to preach the GOSPEL.

Okay, jokes aside, I’m really happy that we became mutuals. You’ve always give off this like, mysterious cosmic vibe (????? huh). And your selfies just further proves that you are wtf. But you’re always so kind to those that you interact with. You’re an absolutely sweetheart and like I just want to give you a giant hug every time we interact. You’re such a soft human being. It’s so nice being around you. It’s like being tossed in the oven and baked at 250 degrees F for 25 minutes. And to boot you’re really talented, hello? God really said let there be a perfect human being and yeeted you into the universe. Thank you for always leaving such kind messages and words in my DM/askbox/works. I cherish them so much. I hope I can get to know you better in the future bc you’re rad, bro <3

I can’t believe we really went 1 fuckin’ year without speaking to each other and then suddenly our friendship blew up because over a stupid BANANA. Now you gotta deal with me and my stupid, random, crude ass messages daily. I cannot. Clown to clown communication. But thank you so much bitch for being there for me and telling all of these funny ass stories and life experiences.

I know I don’t say it a lot because when we talk it’s literally just dogs barking at each other but I want to make it clear now: I love your humor and vibe so much. You never fail to make me laugh anytime I talk to you and I appreciate it so much. I can’t tell you how many times I felt better after talking to you. Even though sometimes your fucking jab hits hard and I end up actually inSULTED BY IT. But thank you for becoming my friend and I look forward to all of our stupid moments together. Looking forward to shitting in your sink when I finally fly to your home <3

@wolfamongthem, Anna, the Grinch. Please don’t hurt me for that title. I'm just saying if someone needs a live casting, it’ll be u. Anyways, did you know that I was so fucking intimidated by you for a long ass time, even before we became mutuals aseljas LMAO. I always see your gifs around on explore and they’re so gorgeous and then I look at your text posts and it’s u roasting people like there’s no tomorrow- 🧍‍♀️ bitch I was SCARED OF U KSKS. Now that I’ve talked to you a few times, you’re really funny like where do you find those reaction memes????? Like bro you and your shitposts is my morning cup of coffee. 

Anyways, in 2021 I expect a full-fledge review of all AAA games from you-- no more shit talking in the tags let it all out BITCH. Thank you for being such a great mutual! I look forward to see what weird shit you will send me the next time we talk lmao

@zenien​​, Selm, the I’m-gay-for-Lady-Maria-or-anything-that-moves-in-BB-Bitch™. ok bitch if I’m being honest I wrote yours last so my brain is FRIED. so everything i say from here is raw from the HEARt cause that’s all I got left. But anyhow, we savin’ the best for last! honestly, i didn’t expect you to barge into my life like that. i really didn’t. i was just gonna keep admiring with my 7 feet (2.1336 meters) pole. I’m glad you made the first move because look where we are wtf 🧍‍♀️ friends??? I wouldn’t believe you if you told me that in 2014 when I first followed you lmao. 

You’re such a kind soul. I know you may disagree but I’m determined to convince you. I can’t tell you how much I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me during my rough bits. It’s like sitting on a wooden bench in a park during sunset and you sit next to me, just enjoying the vast sky. You radiate such peaceful energy. It’s very calming. Or you know, 2 seconds later i’m suddenly suplexed by your 40 tons of insults like what-- 

Thank you for everything, so far. Truly. It’s been so fun listening to you talk about your Bloodborne journey and see your reactions live. It’s been so fun to see you post your graphics and it continues to blow me away. It’s been so fun hearing about your life and the stories of your adulthood. Every words that we have exchanged, I hold dearly to my heart--more than you ever know. Love u bitch.

With 2019 coming to an end, I wanted to make a list of my personal top 10 video games that came out this decade. I was 12 in 2010, and now being 21 video games have always been important to me! Many of the games that are the most dearest to me sadly came out before 2010 (HG/SS barely made the cut with the NA release). I tried to not make recent releases be part of my bias (FE3H lol), plus there were many games such as Bioshock 2, Fallout New Vegas, DA2, ACNL, and many more that I love but this list would have been too long! 

1. Dark Souls (2011)

2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)

3. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver (NA 2010)

4. NieR Automata (2017)

5. Final Fantasy XV (2016)

6. Bloodborne (2015)

7. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (2017)

8. Astral Chain (2019)

9. Granblue Fantasy (2014)

10. Deemo (2013)

Dark Souls: Although I haven’t really completed the game personally, I’ve seen many playthroughs and videos about the story and characters. Hidetaka Miyazaki is absolutely awesome in creating those fantasy worlds and characters, everything that Dark Souls ended up influencing was pretty groundbreaking. And the OST is always enjoyable to hear again.

Breath of the Wild: This game took quite a long time for Nintendo to release, and when it finally came out on the final year of the WiiU and the birth of the Switch... it was pretty emotional. Also to realize that Iwata-san never made it to see the rise of Nintendo’s success after the failure of the WiiU gets me everytime, but I hope he sees all the smiles and joy BOTW has brought since its release. The game changed not only what is a LOTZ game but what is an open world, I’ve played it twice and each time I picked it up was a new experience.

Pokemon HG/SS: This game was released around Fall 2009 in Japan, but for NA it was out in March 2010. I still remember the anticipation for Spring Break to arrive in order to spend all my week playing it! I never had the chance to play the original Gold/Silver, so everything was new to me. My 12 year old mind almost exploded when I ended up finishing the Johto League only to find out we were ALSO traveling to Kanto!!! I was shook! This game is amazing, and I’ll forever wait for them to somehow add our Pokemons following us around, that mechanic was so cute! And of course the OST is golden, and I can always listen to it and be brought back to those days.

NieR Automata: I never played any of the past NieR games (although I was aware of their existence). The first trailer I ever watched had the “Become as Gods” song so I was hooked from the start! And learning that PlatinumGames and Square Enix both developed the game made me hyped for its release. I love everything about it, the characters, story, music, themes. By the time I finished the game, it had brought me into a journey of questioning so many heavy topics about life...I really wasn’t expecting that about a game. Not going to lie it may or may not have brought me a mini existential crisis but with a game made my Yoko Taro can’t be too surprised.

Final Fantasy XV: The game I so often heard fabled tales since as back as 2009 and the hype was just building up for this game! I remember going to the movie theater when they were having special screenings for the Kingsglaive movie (I dragged my friend, little brother, and mom lol). The game went through so much, many cuts and changes were made but I personally ended up liking what we got. Still super sad that many unreleased DLC’s were cut off, but the love I have for the characters and music will always stay.

Bloodborne: Hey another Miyazaki game, what can you say...the man just makes brilliant games. He took everything I love about gothic, victorian era, and Lovecraftian esque and made this extraordinary game. I’m here hoping that maybe this 2020 we can hear a slither of news of Bloodborne 2, the theme for this game is too good for them to leave it as only one game.

Fire Emblem Echoes SoV: After the train wreck that was Fates, I literally was not expecting for us to get another FE title so soon! Japan waited 2 years for Echoes but thanks to localization giving us Fates in 2016, we got SoV a year later. I never heard of Fire Emblem Gaiden, before this game I never played any of the Japan only FE games, so when news was coming out about this title I tried 100% to AVOID it. Why? Because this was the first time I could start a FE game without personally knowing anything about it, and when I first played it, right from the start it felt so different, it didn’t felt like a Fire Emblem game (which isn’t bad at all). With the new art direction it also felt like a whole new world, I love Hidari and I hope we get to see them more in future FE games. The game had a simple plot which I didn’t held it against them, I knew this was a remake, and personally I’m glad they didn’t added things like an Avatar or S-Supports. They stayed true to its original source, and SoV will stay as my personal favorite FE game. Also Heritors of Arcadia will be the best vocal theme we got in FE series.

Astral Chain: Oh snap another PlatinumGames IP? This developers are just too good! Astral Chain came out of nowhere although I’ve heard it was worked on for a long time, supposedly even before NieR Automata was developed. I really enjoyed the game very much, from all the 2019 games that came out it caught my eye and I went in with not too many expectations but I had a good time. The story took a crazy turn and I could see some similar themes as NieR Automata but it held its own ground to become unique. The fighting mechanics were so much fun to play and the music was also awesome! I wish more people talked about this game since it is Nintendo’s new IP. I hope we can get the twins for Smash Ultimate!

Granblue Fantasy: I first new anything about Cygames back in 2016 when I saw the OP for Rage of Bahamut. After Seeing the OP for season 2, seeing Azazel in all his glory I knew I had to watch the anime! Luckilly Rage of Bahamut season 2 was continuing in 2017 so I was able to catch up just in time for its final 10 episodes. I LOVE Azazel and Kaisar and of course ROB Lucifer! Then to my surprise I found out about GBF, and I was dumb and thought the app was unavailable in the west which is technically true since you need a Japanese account to download the app which has an ENG text option. So it wasn’t until 2018 that I downloaded the game and started my journey through the sky. This gacha game literally changed what is a gacha game to me, the developers listen to fans, the community is fun, and just everything about this franchise is so great. I’m not a hardcore player so I’m not too worry about grids, I’m here for the cute husbands. (Lancelot, Sandalphon, Albert, Grimnir I lov u).

Deemo: I love this game, one of the best app games I’ve ever had. Back in the day I used to play TapTap Revenge and that was my first taste of rhythm games, Deemo brought me back to those types of apps. Whenever I was anxious I could always play this game and pass the time while keeping my mind busy. Plus without Deemo I would have never known artist’s such as Mili. The game is on the Switch which I’m so happy because I was able to just get all the songs without flooding my tablets storage space.

[infamouslydorky]

I absolutely goddamn love your art. You are one of my favorite artists of all time, an idol, and you inspire me to keep making art. You draw the creepiest, grungiest, spookiest middle aged men with such beautiful detail, and your Spy, Medic, and Micolash pieces are my favorite on the entire web. I just want you to know that whatever's goin' on in your life, whether this reaches you in good news or poor, your content is adored.

I have no idea what would warrant such an impact, in all honesty. I haven’t drawn Micolash or any Bloodborne in about 2 years, I think. I am eternally grateful that me just goofin’ off and doodling brought you so much joy and it’s an honor that feels I am unworthy of because, as I said, I’m just here trying to have some fun on my corner of the internet and if anyone would like to share that with me, I welcome it. It’s so incredibly kind of you to take the time out of your day to tell me and I’m happy that life is going better for you and I hope it continues to treat you well. You deserve happiness and joy in life. 

Also, lmao the creepy middle-aged men comment, I mean, while most were drawing anime when they were 13 I was drawing hammer horror:

So I guess it comes from that lol

All the best to you and your journey in life. Thank you

Favourite games?

I am such a slut for alien isolation, I loved that game so so much. It has to be hands down my favourite horror game ever.

I really enjoyed bloodborne, the lore behind it was insane and i spent a good amount of my 2017 summer just watching videos on it lol.

I used to love the dead island franchise a lot back when I was a teen, looking back, it was a horribly scripted game but fuck if I had fun with it, with dying light I'm currently reliving those days but better since the game is more descent and I'm living for it haha.

A game that is really special to me is the last of us, I used to play it with my best friend Giggi and I just associate the experience with her and our times getting in trouble and pretending to be grown ups together, talking about running away and start a life somewhere else. How original, I know. Lool. The universal gay experience.

It was a journey and thinking about it takes me back to those nights hiddenly drinking awful beer and listening to punk rock bands without really a care in the world.

Another special game for me is resident evil 5, I know the game itself was not that good but I used to co op play it with my brother, we finished it over like 3 times. It's a very dear memory to me because we used to be so close back then, after my coming out we distanced from each other a lot and now even though we are in good terms it has never really been the same.

So yeah. Those are my top fav games ❤️

[cheeziswin]

you have a fantasy world? 👀👉👈 may i Hear sum stuff if you want 2 share it 👉👈

i do i have two of em that im kinda on and off thinking about/working on, though neither of them are very concrete or Realized in most ways because i really only just started developing them maybe a year or so ago and im very new to this whole thing

the short answer is:

one of them is a sort of game idea for an open world multiplayer version of flight rising/dragcave/wolvden type stuff just bc dragons cool and i wish those games were like a 3d world that could be explored

the other is a graphic novel idea that can be sort of summed up as a Fantasy Spaghetti Western With Some Bloodborne Vibes because i really think the combination of western + fantasy is really interesting and very underutilized because you can really get some cool shit going with it

lil bit more under the cut but not a lot more because even i dont know much about my own worlds because it's not always really priority in my mind and im still super unsure about bits and pieces of it!

So, the game idea one is a little hard to explain, because it's such a mismatch that I barely know where to start. To start off, I guess I can explain first that I have always loved like... certain genres of games, or at least types of games. So like...

Social multiplayer games such as: Pixie Hollow, Club Penguin, IMVU, Second Life, Fantage

Pet collection/breeding games such as: Dragcave, Flight Rising, Howrse, Bella Sara, Wolvden, Nintendogs lol

and then I mean the only MMORPG I have played consistently and seriously is World of Warcraft but I love WoW and its world to fucking bits. And also worth a mention, because it does have a decent influence on this idea in general, I played Petz Horsez 2 almost religiously as a kid lmfao. Also worth mentioning, though I have never played it and have only seen clips of it, Star Stable.

Basically, it's just... I would love a game that's a ton like WoW but focused on dragons like Flight Rising is. Where you go about, collecting cool dragons from the world (Sorta like an open world Pokemon game? this whole things just a mishmash concept). You explore and try and find them, tame them, train them and breed them - for stats and special colors or markings. There's races you can train for, dressage competitions, things of that nature. Certain dragons have certain advantages in things, such as drakes being best in ground races, amphitheres being good in really twisty sky races, western dragons being the most versatile. It'd be a game pretty focused on races, but hopefully be interesting since they'd be varied from sky, to ground, to climbing, etcetera.

Then of course dressage, which would rely a ton on control of a dragon and also costuming. Idk, like a fashion show competition but with dragons lol.

But I really don't know much about games or game design in general, its a big old pipe dream essentially. There's also just... not too much story to speak on. All I really have is little concept art doodles of dragons, and npcs, and cities/towns/zones. I work on it all just for fun, whatever I think looks cool or interesting.

so sorry that's basically a whole lot of nothing but there's THAT XD

and then the fantasy western is about the same, in terms of what all I have worked out, though it's a lot more character based. I have the main idea of what I want my main group of characters to be. the general concept of this one is that the main character is the last surviving member of a race of people who had a certain magical ability revolving around blood. they were both healers and fighters, able to use blood to mend things, cure illnesses and diseases, but also could manipulate the blood to be deadly weapons or even biological warfare if necessary. they were a good race of people that never did anything wrong, but due to the other races seeing them as dangerous freaks who would steal their blood and use them to take over the world, they were attacked and eventually wiped out. but, yanno, not to go full Chosen One, one girl survives it all. she's unaware of her heritage until she gets much older and finds out about it - because the world is on the verge of going to absolute shit, because turns out wiping out all the people who knew how to treat a particular disease ain't the smartest fucking thing to do in the world, and in order for the entire worlds population to Not Die, some higher powers swoop in and kinda are like "yo dude right now you're the only one that can fix this". that sort of thing. and then there's the typical fantasy quest and heroes journey, gathering together a Found Family in the process all with their own strengths and weaknesses and stories that I can't quite get into. there's also sort of Minor Gods/Deities associated with each type of magic in the world, that sort of thing. but there's a lot of gay cowboys and cowgirls and cool magical spells and shit going on so XD

and! idk! this is all pretty incomprehensible but those are sort of the idea of the two? lol

#thank you for asking i should honestly work on these concepts more because I DO love them tbh #just not a lot of know-how or motivation XD

Any games you reccomend playing on the ps4? Diamond in the rough types? Ive pretty much played all the big ones. Fuck bloodborne tho lol.

It really depends on what kind of genre you’re into but … 

If you’re into story driven with simple gameplay, probably the Wolf Among Us. That game is so good and probably Telltale’s most underrated and underappreciated game, and I’m just dying for season 2. Firewatch, ABZU, Journey are great games, I haven’t met one person who has hated those games. Valiant Hearts is also another good pick, the story is incredible and it’s the 3rd game to ever make me cry lolLife Is Strange is also a good game with a wonderful story and characters. I haven’t played Oxenfree, but that’s next on my list and most who’ve played have responded well to the game so I can’t wait to play it 

If you’re into horror survival games, SOMA. That game has great story/writing and rivals any philosophical thriller.Until Dawn is also a reallllllyyyyy fun horror game, and even if you’re not into the horror genre, I still recommend it cause it’s just fun to see how your decisions impact the lives of all the characters you control 

A pretty underrated RPG is Darksiders 2, it’s kinda like Zelda meets God of War 

If you’re into platform games, Guacamelee is so much fun and the story is fucking good 

The Order: 1886, it got a lot of shit because of how short it is on release date but the game itself has a really good story and it’s only 20 bucks right now on PS store and you could probably find it cheaper on Amazon 

A game that I think is super underrated within its own genre is Don’t Starve, which is an adventure/ survival strategy game. You basically gather what you need to survive the night and also to ensure you don’t starve lol 

If you like sports games, Rocket League is super fun and you don’t have to take yourself so seriously like with other sport games. I spent days playing that game non-stop when it first came out 

But if you want me to recommend a specific genre, just let me know and I can come up with a pretty good list for you. Hope this helps. 

🗣 Also, let me know if you end up playing any of the ones I recommended, I genuinely enjoy hearing other people's opinions on games
