Shadow Of The Erdtree - Blog Posts

Marika - Dear Marika... - Was your vision for a perfect world just as thee intended?

a gods silent tears.

Mother...

Was this thy unholy design?...

to turn mine conquest into a prison of time?...

Messmer's tone change hurt my soul.

Lord Miquella, forgive me. The sun has not been swallowed... He yet remains soulless... under the shadow of the great tree.

I had an itch to paint Godwyn with wings ahh

Daughter of Marika

 "My purpose was given to me by my mother. But now, I act of my own volition. I have set my heart upon the world that I would have. Regardless of my mother's designs."

Melina to add to my daughters series -

A Lord devoid of light

It's been a moment since I've drawn him.

feels lovely having more time to paint now ahhh.

"Ohh... Oh, Lord Godwyn... Such cruelty..."

"My poor, sweet lordling should have died a true death."

"As the first of the demigods to die..." "How could such a thing come to be..."

Tarnished

I painted my friends Tarnished in Leda's armor. ❤

Mother...

Was this thy unholy design?...

to turn mine conquest into a prison of time?...

Messmer's tone change hurt my soul.

Dear Mother... -

Prince of Death approaches his mother after his long awaited return.

My take on Godwyn. I'll draw a break down of his design soon.

Flowers for Thee

I loved all the flowers that covered the Shaman village.

It made me think my tarnished would put some of those in his hair as a gesture of kindness. He needs it.

-

Head Canon here : Rini is recovering from almost belonging to a ritual. Cuts and gashes covered most of her body, none could hear her pleas, for she is mute.

Messmer's men found her as one of the only living remaining in a village ravaged.

They took her in.

-

Time passed, eventually Messmer befriends her, spending little by little more time with her and Thiollier.

Radahn

I drew him out of frustration to dying on consort so many times.

I had the same struggle with Starscourge Radahn the first week of Elden Ring release lol.

MESSMER + 🔥

Base Serpent

I offer my life Cursed in this shrine Broken roots entwined And I feel my insides breaking down I bury it in time I want to be part of light..

I want to believe he reads in his free time.

quick painting before I go to sleep because I love him.

Messmer and my Tarnished, Rini.

I really wanted to paint references of him and my tarnished.~

Rini : specializes in dragon communion.

Weapon of choice : duel frost sickles.

Preference in stealth / jumping attacks to stun foes.

Messmer the Impaler -

I had to draw my favorite antagonist. *sweats*

his story just hits me in the feels.

Ah, I love the duality.

*lays on the ground*

You are a wretched, wretched soul. A nightmare come to plague me.

I am The Number One Queelign Fan Now.

As the only person using the tag "Elden Ring Queelign," the only one making posts about Queelign that are positive, and are one of the few people posting about him at all...

I hereby crown myself the number one Queelign fan on Tumblr at this very moment. So...

Kneel before your queen, Tarnished. For I am Maven, the Sleepy Writer and Adoptive Mother of Queelign!

/j (.. maybe . ..)

Oh Queelign... My sweet, bowl cut, mentally ill son. I love you so much <3

Oh my God— IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!

(Slight St. Trina Spoilers Below)

This might also mean (if the nymph comparisons were intentional) that in either a second dlc or second game, she might come back!

I'm pretty sure in different versions of the myths, Daphne at least comes back from being turned into a tree after supposedly dying, though I'm not too sure about Minthe. Which means that St. Trina might be able to come back to life from dying/becoming a flower!

She coming back you guys, she's coming back!

My (Probably Wrong) St. Trina Nymph Analyzation.ᐟ🪻

So, this is going to be my first post on Tumblr... Me talking about the possible anthousai, or flower nymph, symbolism (???) with St. Trina. I'm probably just sleep deprived and my brain is all shriveled from too much caffeine and blue light, but just hear me out...

I've always been really big into Greek mythology and video games, so it was no wonder that my brain immediately went to, "St. Trina is a FLOWER NYMPH???" the very moment she popped onto my screen. She fits the description perfectly.

Flower nymphs are described to be immortal being with hyacinth-like hair and, in typical Greek fashion, very beautiful. Now, we can check the hyacinth-like hair off as a 'yes' since Trina clearly has bright purple hair. And now, I also believe we can check the beautiful part off as 'yes' too since Trina is very beautiful, but also because beauty is often also compared to the youth of a woman as well. And we all know St. Trina is youthful.

Something that also made me think about flower nymph symbolism is, of course, the 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴. St. Trina has a lot to do with flowers, such as the St. Trina's Lily that you can find in-game. Once you defeat Miquella and Radahan, you can go back to a now dead Trina and retrieve a "helm" from her that is also a flower. You find St. Trina in a flowery area as well. So, clearly, flowers are a big part of her character.

But, what I also want to mention is the state you find her in. When you find her, she is seems as though she is sprouting out of a giant plant. Now, this, in my own head, also seems to be related to the whole nymph thing. Take, for instance, Minthe. Minthe is a water nymph that was trampled to death by either Persephone or Demeter, depending on the myth, and then turns into the mint plant upon dying. Daphne, another nymph, turned into a laurel tree while running away from Apollo, dying in the process depending on who you ask as well.

What we can take from this is whenever a nymph dies they turn into their respective plant, that having been stated multiple times as well in Greek mythology. This all further solidifies my analysis on St. Trina having nymph symbolism, specifically that of an anthousai/flower nymph.

Damn, I rambled for way too long for my first post... Anyway– Goodbye and All Hail Her Majesty of Sleep!🪻

Just hit the St. Trina lore, let the hyperfixation begin.

In the middle of watching a few playthroughs of the Elden Ring DLC to find out what the story is and all that. Literally all I know is that Mohg beat the allegations somehow (good for him!), Miquella becomes a god??? and that St. Trina is here at last. Finally. Can't wait to find out what happens!

I want to play the Elden Ring DLC desperately, but guess who's flat broke and can't buy that and a new computer at the same time. 💖
