The Justice League summons the Ghost King for his help with a certain something [you can decide what that is].
They expected something mighty, something that screamed royalty and was distinctly something other.
What they didn't expect, was for the Ghost King to appear in nothing but farmer attire, holding a bush, and humming.
Now, you see. Pariah Dark was enjoying his retirement, sure, he was still King, but in reality, the Ghost Zone no longer needed a king since it fell into Anarchy and sure, he could've just forced everything back together under his lone rule. But then a small koi passing through time whispered within his ear a most tempting offer.
And, well, he truly was unable to resist such temptation.
So, there he was, enjoying his afterlife on earth (or one of many) on a farm. His day started as normally as it would any other, waking up (and isn't that such an unusual thing?), fixing his bedding, taking a shower, preparing breakfast, eating said breakfast, and out the door to start his day.
All things that humans do, something he never thought he would do, but such a thing was... actually quite nice.
He walked around his farm, tending to his crops, taking care of any offending intruders upon his small kingdom, and picking up the ones that were ready to sell. Then he took out a brush and got to one of the best parts of his days.
Brushing his horses.
So of course, he had to be ripped away from his daily reward in the midst of a summoning. He was very disappointed, to say the least, he got used to not using his powers often in his new afterlife, so him not falling to the ground was purely his lower body strength.
He stopped humming, sighed, placed the brush in his pocket and looked over at the people who summoned him, vaguely recognizing them as that one group humans... liked? Raged? He doesn't know the exact words they used nowadays.
Okay, he could do this, he could be nice.
"What pathetic mortal creatures would dare summon a being higher than themselves."
Or not.

Guys!
Guys!!
Guys!!!
I think I just came up with an original thought to put out into Tumblr! A logical puzzle that I don't have the answer to myself, but I would LOVE to see people who are much smarter than me think about!
(Inspired by my most recent video on reading comprehension, which contained a debate on is more valuable / practical, $30 in bills or $30 in coins, and me reading the comments under said video!)
You know that silly riddle, which is heavier, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? (Trick question, they're both a ton.) Well, what I really want to know is...
If you have a pound of $1 bills, and a pound of $1 coins, what is the difference in their total monetary value? Is it a very dramatic difference? What kind of fraction / percentage / ratio would the comparison be?

Elden Ring is on sale. Dear newcomers, here is your no-spoiler guide to PvP for your first playthrough.
It's really not as terrifying as it seems. It's intimidating, yes, but it's also really fun if you're prepared for it. It does require quite a bit of preparation.
LEVEL UP YOUR VIGOR! Seriously, for a beginner you only have to care about vigor. If you find a cool weapon, you can level up just enough damage stats to wield it, but aside from that, please just level your red bar. Get to at least 25 before you even think about investing in anything else.
Make sure you have some sources of poison from the start of the game. Explore caves and poisonous areas to find greases and recipes. Poison will help against gamers with lag. Likewise, if you ever find cures to status effects, always buy them/pick them up and have at least some on hand at all times.
Move your flask from your quick bar to your pouch. This will allow you not to circle through your item belt every time you need to heal/recover FP. It's the second best habit to get used to in the beginning of the game. The first best habit is changing your controls layout to make it more comfortable for you to use crouch. Crouch attacks are very powerful in PvP AND PvE, and you should learn how to utilise them!
Fire grease is easy to make and gives you decent damage against most opponents. There is no reason not to have some. Mark places on the map where you can find Root Resin and Smouldering Butterflies close to a grace. You'll find the recipe very early if you explore some encampments.
With all of that being said, you will still probably die to your first invader or two, that's just how the game works. You die, you respawn, you get better, and try again.
What, you wish to try invasions yourself? Well.. If you're into that, you might want to check out @invaders-cookbook
That blog does have very minor spoilers, but it contains advanced advice and strategy to all things concerning invasions. You can also send me an ask about everything invasion-related!
