Circling Back On This, Rannis Corpse Looks Weirdly Stone-like

circling back on this, ranni’s corpse looks weirdly stone-like

maybe there is something inherent in godhood that changes your physicality in this way. or maybe it only became a thing after death was removed from the elden ring… how long can a body really continue as flesh in a world where death has been removed? even as a god… much to think about

has there been any speculation about why marika/radagon appear to be made of stone? it doesn’t seem like this was always the case from depictions of them in paintings, i wonder if it happened post-shattering… if the cinematic is to be trusted they weren’t made of stone when the shattering happened. wonder what that’s about

Now that the whole idea of "short people are second class citizens" is arguably canon in Elden Ring I am utterly desperate to know what the exact nature of Miquella and Radagon's relationship was:

Personally, I hesitate to say that their relationship was loving, seeing as Miquellas only apparent interactions with his Father is in their collaboration(?) with Fundamentalism, and even then, Miquella abandoned Fundamentalism and Radagon in tandem.

Clearly Godwyn was the one Miquella was closest with as opposed to Radgon, having a statue of him and Malenia being embraced by their brother, and Golden Epitaph blessed by Miquella's prayer for him to die a true death.

So then with Miquella being cursed and looked down on for being small, the young Empyean likely had to work twice as hard as anyone to just be seen and heard. Did Mr. Leal-Hound-of-the-Golden-Order look down on his malformed child just like everyone else? Did Radagon not even spare his son a second glance?

Were Miquella's Incantations, his gifts for his father, not gifts of love but instead ones of desperation? To be acknowledged by his Father and to be granted the opportunity to study further Fundamentalism from it's practical founder, so Miquella could find a cure for Malenia?

Was it only then that Radagon began to recognize his son, when Miquella's genius, and usefulness to the Golden Order, was revealed?

And when Miquella realized that Fundamentalism could to nothing to cure Malenia, did he too realize that he no longer needed to essentially kiss Radagons ass, did he feel freed by that revelation or did he feel grief for a relationship he longed for but could never have?

tea, i always thought radagon was created by the GW because imo he is too single-minded to be human/anything other than something created for a sole purpose. he seems so dogged in his will to protect and uphold the GO and will do anything in his power to achieve that, even when it’s broken beyond repair. leal hound of the golden order indeed…
