how would you interpret Maria hugging hunter in her visceral? i always thought of it as some sort of mockery from her

Sort of, but in the way that her whole fight is sort of a "mockery" of the concept of a dashing Heroic romance (In the Shakespearean sense of the term). Let me explain.

First, we have to understand Maria's character design in that she is of the bifauxnen archetype. The bifauxnen is a handsome, gentleman-ly type woman portraying all the traits we associate with a dashing hero: courageous, refined and sometimes aristocratic, and androgynous. She is the counterpart to the bishonen, the contrast to the more coarse Lad-ette. The most famous of this archetype of course is Lady Oscar from Rose of Versailles. She is essentially a Female Prince.

The Lady Maria reflects this design. Out of all the Hunters and Byrgenwerth crew, she is the one dressed to the Nines, wearing dashing Cainhurst fashion to something that is essentially nasty and wet and all the other things (the Hunt). She's wearing jewelry (the Lumenflower brooch) the cravat, the fact she curls her hair, the aristocratic looks and backstory (the fact that she's the Lady Maria, a Knight of Cainhurst Vileblood royalty), the fact that she was the one taking care of the Research patients and they worship her, etc. Her outfit fits along the lines of the Lady Oscars, Alucards, and so forth. The fact that she is the only one to realize the atrocity of her actions, to regret her actions and reject her calling as a Hunter, is so fucking introspective at the cost of noticing Gehrman's mania for example reads very much in line of a Romantic hero. She is presenting a Look and this Look says she is meant to come off as rich, handsome, and heroic as she's slaying monsters. At least, those are the visual cues the player is meant to read in that sense. And that is carried over into her actions.

Lady Maria fights the Hunter to "liberate [them] from [their] wild curiosity" - she is taking the role again, of the hero. The villain here, being that need for Insight and she is saving the Hunter from the call of blood. She then engages you a fight, a dance really, set to waltz - again, playing with those romantic hero tropes (assuming you don't parry her to death). The visceral attack therefore, plays into that fantasy. She treats you so gently cause of course you are the Victim enslaved by your thirst for knowledge, she is the romantic hero, mercy killing you with the sweet kiss of death. She steadies you as your now heartless body bleeds out onto the floorboards of the clocktower.

But like everything in Bloodborne, there is a catch you see. Cause the Lady Maria is not a hero in fact; she is a bloody coward.

Yes, Maria is the only member of the Byrgenwerth crew (and amongst the few Hunter in general) to make a dry stop + u-turn from the Hunt and the atrocities associated with that. But unlike someone like Djura, who at least is trying to be productive in his redemption, Maria runs from her mistakes. She casts Rakuyo into the Well and leaves. She joins the Research Hall and contributes to more atrocities there, but hey at least all the patients there love her right?? (😬) And when her brooding (or maybe insanity? who says she was immune to the Beast plague? Or Kos infecting her brain??) was too much for her, she takes her own life instead of you know, working to dismantle the systems - both the Research Hall and the Hunt itself. Her issues and her guilt - that is more important to her than actually helping or saving people. She the Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, Lord over nothing else but the reminder of her greatest failure. Both in life and in death.

Cause you see, her stopping the Hunter isn't really about saving them from their wild curiosity. The Fishing Hamlet is dead and gone. The effects are echoing throughout all of Yharnam in this day and age. Heck, the Hunter just came in from the Research Hall itself. It is well and truly Known, to prevent future atrocities of that scale, one has to know the events that led to those atrocities in the First Place. Lady Maria isn't helping you, isn't saving you from anything you already knew to begin with. She is, once again, trying to alleviate her own guilt and shame and trying to prevent others of knowing of that shame. So she tries to kill you. But you know, in a Heroic way. Hence why the whole fight is a sham and mockery.

She also hates your guts. I consider this to be tertiary canon at best, but the deleted lines has it so that she calls you insufferable, and baits you to kill her. She Does Not Actually Give a Shit About You. It cannot be more blatant than that. And how couldn't she? You make her recall her greatest shame, force her to break the last of her principles (no Vilebloodbending) so that your ass does not learn of what she's done. You also keep coming back, so you're a constant reminder that no matter what she does, her actions really do mean nothing, not before, and definitely not now.

Also she stares at you like this the whole fight if looks could kill well, you would be dead and not coming back (The way you ought to. Bastard. Stay dead already!! - Lady Maria, probably):

So yeah, she is mocking you with a oh so sweet kiss from the Handsome Hero type as she rips your heart out (breaking it) and kills you very dead. Cause fuck the Hunter specifically.

#lady maria of the astral clocktower #bloodborne #my meta #me shaking Maria: YOU ARE SO STINKY!!! RATTY BASTARD #Also there is something to be said about how she cries out to the Moon Presence like Gehrman does when she's killed #but she never actually Made Contact with Her #Crying out to a God who is Deaf to Her #as she's dragged to Kosm Hell where she belongs!! #so yeah

Been hyperfixating hard on the Hatchetfield series this past week and I’m glad to see the entire hatchetverse fandom is just as autistic about Tinky as I am

Damn now I want to read a fic where Toritsuka just keeps draping himself over Saiki in new and various ways and Saiki just puts up with it and doesn't think anything of it because Toritsuka is going on about some bullshit and it's kinda nice so whatever.

Toritsuka's not doing it on purpose either, he's just internalized that Saiki is free real estate and he does not think.

Culminating in them getting confused for boyfriends because they're practically snuggling in public LOL.

EDIT: it is written....

#unintentional frog boiling. need this. #who would win? the most beautiful perfect girl of all time who is openly adored & worshipped by half the country? or a stinky bastard perv? #the answer may surprise you #nopsi nonsense #torisai #nopsi's promptsies #Toritsuka grabs Saiki's hand to make a point and then just forgets to let go of it and Teruhashi sees that and almost dies on the spot

It's been just over a day, and I'm still upset that Curious Cat forced Hawker to fight the Jabberwalker, knowing it's the only thing that can actually kill someone.

Thinking about tma characters dnd classes

Jon’s def a warlock the slow corruption of his mind and humanity and his eldritch supernatural powers are GIVING warlock (I’m a warlock main)

Martins giving..druid?? Maybe a sorcerer I feel like he’s not a tank he’s a healer so maybe a cleric?

Tim is a fighter 100%. He is reckless, charismatic, short tempered he just gives “I hit before I think”

Sasha is giving Paladin or a Sorcerer I dunno she seems like she’d be really reliable like able to get the party out of a tricky situation

Melanie is GIVING Barbarian. SHE. IS. MARKED. BY. THE. SLAUGHTER. That’s all I have to say about that

Georgie’s a wizard don’t ask me why she’s just giving wizard vibes

Daisy is giving druid (cause of the hunt) and maybe a monk?? I’ve sat and thought about her for a while and the class that I think most fits her is a druid

Now I’m not a fan of Basira but I honestly think she’d be a ranger or a Paladin again I DUNNO WHY she’s just giving me those vibes

Elias is none of it he’s the bbeg

Why did you call the fic "Ataraxia"?

I remember I studied that word in philosophy years ago, doesn't it mean something like serenity or calmness?

-trenchcoat

excellent question, tc! thank you for the excuse to lore dump hahahaha

you are correct! ataraxia is an idea in several different schools of thought, like stoicism and epicureanism. it represents the release of emotional disquiet to achieve something kind of like a mental tranquility.

i always pictured that the early part of a relationship with villain donnie would be quite tumultuous. he’s a difficult person to be with, romantically and sexually. he’s mean and cruel and possessive and jealous. the insert-chan for this au is strong-willed and almost attracted to him against your wish. it’s like. man. out of all the guys that snag your attention, it’s this guy?? this guy?? the annoying guy who gives you troublesome gifts and blows up your phone with messages and has a hissy fit whenever you ignore him??

it drives you nuts how someone like him just has you wrapped around his finger. you hate it. you hate how much you like him. you hate how good he feels. how good he makes you feel. oh if only you knew he’d felt the same way before giving in… that giving in would feel so so good…

this fic, which takes place a few months after you start having sex with donnie, is the story of when you finally realize that you do have romantic feelings for him. the moment you realize that this whole time, for donnie it’s never been “just fucking.” you aren’t just a toy to him, some little plaything he uses to distract himself. you’re his partner. his romantic partner. he loves you, and you love him. and so you shed the hesitancy, the reluctance. in so doing, you achieve a kind of ataraxia, and the life where you and donnie are equal begins.

#ask tag #villain donnie au #aaaand then you become disaster waifu to a very volatile stinky bastard. nods a lot

"horses get an unfair reputation as demonic, they're anxious and fretful animals" clearly spoken by a city girl whose only supervised interactions with horses were on some upscale riding farm. they are demonic BECAUSE they are anxious and easily startled, as any stupid kid who had to eat a hoof in the head could contest given they're still alive

#strong animals should be rightfully feared is what im saying. bovines are generally harmless too but a determined cow could easily kill you #besides horses have monocular vision which automatically makes them kind of creepy #i still like those stinky bastards tho i love all the imagery and big animals are just full of swag. even if their legs are stupid #not a horse girl btw i just believe in their beliefs.

Simon from Netfix’s A Christmas Prince is my baby girl. My poor little meow meow. My beloved. My scrimblo. My glup shitto. My stinky bastard man. I love him so much. Nobody understands me when I talk about this movie and this specific character. And now a YouTube comments section is demanding my fic for him because I mentioned in once under a Jenny Nicholson video. Don’t worry, my horrible probably homeless royal jerk. I will put out the first chapter soon.
