#rennala is definitely a 'i can fix her'

[scribbles-dream]

So I fought Rennala again.

That fight, and especially the egg side story, fills me with a sense of anger. As most of you know, after you fight Malenia you can give her Miquella's Needle to restore her sense of self, basically giving her back a second chance. A lot of From games have the idea that the world, and people in it, deserve a second chance at life. Melina and Ranni follow this as well, given chances to change the world for the better.

Rennala.. has none of that. For a game with as many strong female characters as it has, this is a sore spot. It feels of misogyny to me, and makes me.. sad? Here's a strong woman with a definite stake in the current events, and you gave her the ultimate form of disempowerment in dementia, that could be easily fixed if we, the player character, took that fucking egg (a symbol of women and their traditional gender role as child-rearers) away!

Although, there is a plus. We take the Great Rune of the Unborn away. We give her, in essence, a second chance. It's tiny, and like Malenia will take time for her to recover, but it's a chance nontheless. I refuse to believe Miyazaki was as misogynistic as he was to do this act on purpose. The man is wonderfully kind, I think it was a creative decision not in his control fully.

Alr so a lil bit ago I wondered about Demigod/Shardbearer pet names, and now I will answer myself!

Morgott - Beloved, but not beloved in the traditional sense, pronounces it more like Be-Loved. Obvious because he wants you to know that he loves you, through and through, and no matter what you'll always be his beloved.

Mohg - Originally went for Dear or Dearest, but as soon as you introduced Love or Luv as a nickname, he was hooked. The situation is lovey-dovey? Calls you love. Situation is absolutely serious? Still calls you love. Basically replaces your name.

Malenia - there is some cut content where she calls the PC "Sweet Tarnished" and "Dearest Companion" so she I can definitely see her calling someone "Sweetie" or "Sweatheart" as well as "Dearest."

Miquella - some cut content implies that he might have had a speaking role that had him call the Tarnished "Seedling" and given that so many dearests are used to refer to him, if wager a guess that he might use "Darling" as a mix between the two.

Rennala - Pretty obvious it could be Sweeting, Culver, or perhaps Beloved. Another option is Little "name" due to the Ranni dialogue. Given her dialogues.

Radagon - fitting with Rennala, probably uses birdy names like Culver, probably uses Beloved too. Also may use Dear or Dearest due to so many of his children using it.

Ranni - is the type to use an insult as a pet name. Uses some old-fashioned insult for her Consort, other than just Dear or Dearest. My favorite after looking it up is Mooncalf or dullard.

Radahn - Absolutely could see him using some type of pet name but starting with "Little" like Little Duck or Little Dove, given that Caelid was once presumably a less rotted region, and that anyone is smaller than Radahn. Another thought is something like "Honey" to really set in the Dad jokes.

Rykard - uses Dear and then your name. That's it, literally don't think there is anything else to use for him. He also says it in a condescending way that's like kinda really sexy. Also may use insults as pet names, but those ones will be personal attacks.

Godwyn - Absolutely uses something like "my love" or "my beloved" or "my dearest" something to let you know that you are number 1 in his eyes, and that you are his. Will always fix the "my" to it though.

Godrick - another to use insults as pet names. Probably defaults to something like Dumbarse, but when pushed will call you "my precious" 🤣

Godfrey - near everyone is also probably shorter than him, so he might call you "Little Warrior" or something to a similar effect. Definitely uses Dear and Beloved though, to widespread to not be utilized by him as well.

Marika - unique nicknames from her. Defaults to dear, Dearest, and beloved, but when she gets to know you better she's stepping up her game. Uses insults as nicknames, but only in private, what would the city think if she calls her Consort a "loathly vixen" in public. That being said, other such personal nicknames will be some form of charmer or tempter/temptress and other such names.

I think you did that ask a better service than I ever could. Me likes this very much, anon.

#crackcanon. #elden crack. #very fitting too. #I also may or may not have completely forgot about that one #whoops.
