Continuing the investigation from last week! Let me know what you thought and yell at me on Twitter. JSF: • Video Facebook: / mitch-l-462561553915283 Twitter: / angered_courier
"Eyes on the inside" is a nod to hippocampus evolving from a periental eye - hippocampus is responsible for releasing DMT which affects how we percieve reality. Hippocampus also governs the amygdala.
Laurence wasn't the first to betray Willem at Byrgenwerth. The original Japanese has Willem say "you also think to betray me", in the cutscene between himself and Lawrence. The Cainhurst betrayal came first
The "Royal We" normally refers to the office/title of king/queen, not the individual. Annalise claims no subjects, but the Queenly position is still assumed. So while SHE may claim no subjects, the monarchy is still in practice, therefore, the royal We is used.
A thought, we've established all manner'o'ways that blood is business AND fun in Yharnam. Blood cocktail spells out how people prefer to get drunk on blood than alcohol.
You know, with Annalise’s iron mask, the french terminology, and Arianna’s ironic fate as a surrogate mother for the child of blood, I wonder if Arianna was in fact a twin of sorts to Annalise, a sort of twist on one of the legends surrounding the man in the mask and the then ruler king louis XIV, in which the masked prisoner was actually the king and a look a like or twin sat the throne.
Not sure if someones said this yet and this is almost a year after the fact, but does the vileblood queen's line of "Moon-scented hunter" imply that she can smell your relation to the moon presence and may possibly know of the moon presence already?
Minor Correction... When you choose to kill the celestial child, Ariana does not die. She merely faints or passes out. You can tell by the fact that she is still breathing. Also, there is a clear difference between the poses Ariana ends up in whether you kill the child only, or if you actively kill Ariana by attacking her.
Pretty sure Arianna, and possible other children as well, were deliberately spared by Logarius, seeing as his motto seemed to have been to always endeavour to do good, even if the act might be unwise.
A lot of NPCs comment on the hunter's smell. At first you're expected to think it's the smell of blood/beasts/gunpowder, but then it becomes clear it's the "smell of the moon" as more and more NPCs comment on it. It's supposed to be a foreshadowing that the moon and the dreaming hunters are connected.
I would say that the lack of mirrors may be due to the “insight” that some of the people may acquire. And they wanted to prevent people from seeing beasts, or from seeing themselves as beasts. Same goes for why many of the characters in game have bandages over their eyes. What they saw due to their insight drove them mad so they take out their own eyes
Holy shit, Mitch! You nailed this! I completely missed The Cainhurst/Arianna connection. I thought it was just the place you get her dress. I wasn't playing consciously. This made me want to step up my pay-attention-to-detail game up big time. Bcs of this video I found you on Patreon and became a $10/month pledger. I'd love to see a Lore Video on The Fishing Hamlet.

oedon is formeless, yet his child is slug like, like ebrietas (daughter of the cosmos)
I love how thorough you are, story of Ariana escaping as the Executioners raided the castle was amazing

Gilbert mentions your strange scent as well; I think the fact that your blood is not

These videos have made me very sympathetic to Cainhurst and the Vilebloods.
I like that you used the music from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It certainly fits.
"Get Lube."
"the way your char turns around and gazes into all that insight he has collected after that confrontation" was priceless
Mitch L more like Mitch "Most Thorough" Loreman
