Theory: Messmer’s timeline and story will only make sense if you consider him Marika’s beloved firstborn.
Aka, welcome to my doomed Mother & Son presentation slide 🔥🫡
(spoilers for SoTE and long discussion from Messmer’s birth to his final moment)
(malenivere)
arranged marriage AU. from when they were still getting to know each other and Gwynevere traveled to the Lands Between often.
Malenia just really really likes her fiancée 😳
// SoTE spoilers
I’m going to throw up … it sounds crazy but. I think I know what the Hornsent did to Marika’s home village now.
Please, look closely at the jar innards in Belurat Gaol… they look like her … 😭😭 even the brand on their forehead looks like her current symbol.
Shadow Keep is such a funny place.
Messmer is huddling in a dark room with a gigantic statue of his mom hugging him, somewhere in the basement Miquella threw his arm there, Leda & Hornsent are fighting at the front door, Freyja & Ansbach are crawling around playing detectives.
Im bored so let's do something artists,
What is a drawing you think you're iconic for? and let people reply to you what drawing they think you are iconic for
AU where Messmer went back in time to save a young Marika before she had to save herself, somehow no time paradox happened, and now he’s stuck with the burden of reverse-parenting (?) 😂
im thinking about this specific scene again and it makes me laugh cuz if you consider DLC lore, he was probably trying to take LeyndeII & become the next EIden Lord so he could get away from the vow with Miq, but Mrgott kicked his ass back to CaeIid 😭
every time someone comments on Mlenia’s fanart to trash on her and make it about Rdahn we need to response with that pic of Mrgott whooping his ass. It’s morally correct to do so.
Holy fuck Marika was a Miko … it’s a village full of them …. that’s why her people are being hunted down… they have special connection to divinity …. *head in hands* i get it now… holy hell…
Elden Ring DLC Lore Spoilers
Elden Ring shouldn't have translated this location to "Shaman Village" as I don't think an English audience understands the explicitly female connotations of the name and its significance to Marika's overarching story.
i love this parallel so much cuz Hewg mentioned he met a girl who was like Roderika a long time ago, their eyes are the same hue...
Also, Roderika's eyes have the same hue as Messmer's serpents (yes Marika's original eyes colour is probably green)
Fromsoft putting Malenia - a red head lady as the face of the main game reveal trailer. then put Messmer - another red head guy, as the face of the DLC reveal is so crazy… this is cinema…
*spoiler*
Messmer's helm description literally stated he accepted his fate. he was just brooding sitting in the dark minding his own business, & he'd have been fine for a long time more if the Tarnished hadn't sauntered in & triggered all of his insecurities at once-
// SoTE spoilers
i just think about how Messmer knows, very acutely, that at one point his mother could have been cut up and put in a jar. & that his other family members were not so lucky....... this gives a new tragic edge to this scene in the trailer.
