When I first saw the fandom going crazy over this character, I thought he was just another stereotypical hot bad boy vampire. But dang, was I wrong. He's such a layered character who gets to go in a number of interesting directions depending on your choices. I've been kind of obsessed with this scene though. The way he shows such vulnerability and honesty, opening himself up to being hurt despite clearly being unfamiliar with genuine love and affection, and yet wanting to try... Imo it's such a beautiful moment, and somewhat heartbreaking, too.

This playlist is my safe place, I come back here whenever I feel overwhelmed by the work day. Thank you for creating it, it's really something special 🤍

Why...why did I found this... wonderful! video with my beloved Zayne just now? Thank you so much! This is so so so good 🙏🏻

we need more!!

Can you make more like this and with dragons sounds it really amazing and those distance sounds are amazing thank you so much for this i can sleep peacefully PLEASE MAKE MORE LIKE THIS❤ I LOVE YOU ❤

So beautiful

I love this ❤

This is perfect, but every time i start falling asleep, i jolt awake cause of the ads Very disappointing

Thats is really good!!!

Witcher 3 music ?? 😂

I got absolutely jump scared when I heard his voice lmao I only skimmed over the desc and didn't see the bit about his dialogue in there

One day we’ll have a Valyrian Freehold prequel about the century leading up to the Doom.

I never got this scene and in act 3 he just says there will be no more "us" I'm upset :(

1k like 🩶🖤🌫️ 🪽

TH-cam's ad's ruin this

Love this❤

That dragon sound at around 1 minute sounds like gigantic ethereal belching

Many people: "Vampires don't sleep." Astarion: *snoring*

I love it! what a beautiful headcannon... the songs you chose have a very elvish feeling to them and I love anything that brings out Astarion's elven side. I shall fall asleep to this while fantasizing, thank you for your service!

This goes perfectly with the prologue to the first book

I wuv’s him but he forgets I dumped him for Halsin, lol.

I love that they put the option to hug him, instead of kiss. Hugs are a form of intimacy that just shows some one you care for them on a deeper level. Whenever the topic of intimacy comes up, a lot of people immediately think sex, or kissing, but to recognize the intimacy in a hug and how it brings a person a sense of security will make you prefer that. Think about it- to truly hug someone, and embrace it means that you feel safe enough in their arms. Astarion hesitating , and then finally circling his arms around Tav shows us that he feels safe with us (even if he is the big spoon 🥹)

Amazing video. With the new dlc revelations, i would love a sequel!

Its calm because it reminds us of The mothers womb

Absolutely amazing !!

Who is lament by? I’m so obsessed with it but I can’t find it 😭 34:53

Omg soundtrack from Blood and Wine expansion😭😭😭it fits so well

Don't be worried about being off the mark if stuff gets confirmed, the whole point of lore interpretation and thinking sessions people come up with all sorts of stuff and a lot of times aspects of everyone theories overlap. Also, if you listen to David Lightbringer-this ASOIAF long time theorizer and analyser of GRRM ASOIAF many of GRRM fingerprints are all over Elden Ring. It is far more-the lore, far more GRRM than Miyazaki, but the two of them seem like two peas in a pod though. Miyazaki said himself though it was all GRRM lore, and then they blew it up. It also does seem that Radagon was wanting to be the ruler.

great theory...plus your voice is soothing and comfy to listen to

The soulsborne tracks are perfect for her, you have fantastic taste in music <3

Radagon is like Jaime in that he swore an Oath to Renala. An Oath of Love and Loyalty, and one that he broke for the love he bore Marika. It's probably this event as what motivates him to reform the shattered Elden Ring, as his Oath to the Golden Order is the last thing he hasn't forsaken, the last thing he hasn't let Marika strip him of.

Your voice is very lovely. Makes everything you say, sound very authoritative

I just found you channel, instant subscribe. Your library of videos looks very interesting, I am looking forward to going through them. Cheers!

Very well done, you make some excellent connections between ASoIaF and ER that really serves to enhance the narrative. Subbed.

Ive been feeling like Marika is just if Cerci was good at what she does but im excited to see what you think

The game is very clear that radagon and marika are one in the same.

Great video! I'm pretty familiar with elden ring and the way Miyazaki likes to write, not so much GRRM, so its very interesting hearing theories like this. I really like the idea that maybe Radagon wasn't originally part of Marika, but became soul bound to her and was slowly absorbed, sort of how male anglerfish are attached to and absorbed into the body of a female after mating. My theory regarding Miquella is that he was born very early into Marika's life, and might have even personally known Mesmer. I also think Melina, or whoever she was originally, was Mesmer's twin. So you had the firstborn twins, and then Miquella/Melania some time after. Considering the way the scarlet rot seems to affect Millicent's memory, I think it would be incredibly easy for Miquella to manipulate Melania, even if it was "for her own good".

Honestly I just wish that the DLC gives us the option that in the midfigth with Malenia, instead of triggering her second phase, we can just give her the unalloyed gold needle and save her.

i couldn't be happier that your video popped up on my feed. I dragged my brother in my room to make him listen to the Godfrey / Robert comparison. Being a fan of ASOIAF and ER you have made the video i've been hoping someone would. Thank you!!!! !!!!!! PS: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insightful, I'm glad you made this.

I didn't know i needed this

I really don't think the idea of Mohg and Miquella incest is so clear. it is a vague interpretation of circumstances at best. it is actually not clear that any of the gods are born of sexual relations either. A piece of evidence suggesting they don't is Melina discussing her mother in one line, and in another wondering if "being born of a Mother mean one behaves in such a manner." Suggesting while she has a mother she was not born in a traditional sense. There is also various carvings and images suggesting individuals being born out of the tree. which is baffling.

There could also be a connection between Azor Ahai and the Frenzied Flame that might have heavy implications on ASOIAF if GRRM meant to make so many parallels with his own works. This would make Azor Ahai an enemy of humanity and not the Hero everyone is expecting due to the relation Azor Ahai has with yhe Frenzied Flame in Elden Ring I feel. Azor Ahai's sacrifice of his lover and the Lord of Frenzied Flame refusing to sacrifice his Maiden are also neat contrasts here too.

comparison between GRRM's work and Elden Ring is severely underrated and far too often ignored or dismissed. it's always nice to see people exploring it.

am i the only one that thinks the land of shawdows is the ocean area in the middle of the map, being veiled by Marika's optical illusion?

i was thinking the same thing today, and like magic i got your video recomended. about Marika and Radagon being siblings. with a small difference, i was theorising that Radagon was a lost royal (like an unrecognized bastard like John Snow) since he gets discribed as a "mere champion" not a royal by the turtle pope, it looks like this was the general belive by the public. i bet GRR Martin wrote some f-up sh!t like you descrived in the video and Miyasaky made all criptic to f- with us even more. PS.: pardon my spelling

Thank you for this great essay! Great job.

Am confused, if marika and radogon were same person how then MIQUELLA AND MELIENA comes ?!!!

I think it's really important to read other GRRM works beside asoiaf. There are a lot of different themes and details that appear that have connections to both ER and the books
