My Dealer: Got Some Straight Gas This Strain Is Called Order Of Ecclesia Youll Be Zonked Out Of Your

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “Order of Ecclesia” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just became the blade to banish all evil

My buddy Albus pacing: Master Barlowe is lying to us

Ok so I ran into a post on Reddit a while ago about the Undead Parasite boss from Lament of Innocence and what it looks like and it’s been bothering me for a looooong time because I think it looks like something else.

I’m putting a cut here because there will be pictures of medical diagrams and brief mentions of sexual implications so those who are discomforted by that can scroll past d(^^ ).

So the post was basically saying that the whole boss is very uh a certain private opening shaped and has worms going into the holes meaning it could be some kind of a sexual implication.

But looking closer at it, I really think that’s supposed to be something else. Shapes and patterns are often repeated in nature, especially in anatomy, so I can see how someone might think of that first, but that green hard structure in the inside looks wayyy more like something else to me that is also a tube in the body: the trachea.

Flip this image upside down and suddenly the layers around the hole start to line up, and that characteristic cartilaginous looking green structure makes more sense. But why would this area have references to neck and throat anatomy? For that answer we have to look at the context clues in the rest of the stage.

Oh wow, ok that is almost certainly brain tissue. The folds especially give it away, but the little node looking clumps that pop up are also evidence towards it. Those little things shoot out electricity!!! Like what the neurological system does! Not exactly sure what these might be specifically in anatomy because they don’t really look like anything, but they could just be a cluster of neurons of some sort. And well the neck is kinda situated right below the brain and houses the spinal cord, so it makes sense that references to its structures would be here.

Idk, this area just immediately screamed brain parasite horror to me. Which is interesting since it takes place in the church area, the house of sacred remains. I’m sure there’s probably some kind of symbolic reason for it, but I don’t know what it is tbh. General cynical poisoning the mind stuff? A metaphor for manipulation or brainwashing? Something about corruption? Who knows, just throwing out some ideas that might fit with other themes in the game. There’s also the chance that this might be referencing both anatomical things!!!

Anyway, just random thoughts, hope this makes sense :3

Aaaaaaaaa every year I wanna do the Draculatober but every year I am too stressed out, burnt out, or otherwise to do it (;w; ).

oh yeah since you're a huge Simon fan,

what are your thoughts on Super Castlevania IV?

Ooooooo I love CV4 so much, I’ve replayed it a lot : D. I’ve gotten pretty close to being able to beat the whole game in one sitting really fast lol. I think the only big gripe I have with it is that Dracula doesn’t get to have a second form/curse of man battle which is kinda sad. He just kinda gets Dracula part two but with a spookier face and not the cool demon dragon thing. But I guess Simon’s theme playing kinda makes up for it in a way so uhhhhh yeah. The music is absolutely banger in this game ong, I want the vinyl of this soundtrack so bad (TwT ). The art is so pretty toooooo, the pixel art is great agdjshwg. I love how much this game likes the color green.

I see it as a reimagining of the first game and lump them both together with X68000/Chronicles as the same part of the story if that makes sense? And not the English manuals or anything cause I know that CV4 was marketed as a sequel when it’s actually not in Japan 💀💀💀. Especially since later games take elements from it (SotN with Slogra and Gaibon and stuff) so it seems to be accepted I guess.

What's the fic you would write if you had the energy for it? Ambitious, complex, novel-length—the fanfic you'd make if you could.
