Its Dangerous Out There, Here Take This!

It’s dangerous out there, here take this!

... .... ... NOTHING the dlc can say or do will deter my headcanons regarding the

childbirth/menstruation/womb symbolism involved in Mohg's dynasty. Blood is not some throwaway aesthetic. Blood is and always has been Mohg's physical and mental fixation.

The Formless Mother (who we now know had relatively benign intentions) taught Mohg to love the stain he was born with (ie. his menstrual cycle, his womb) Mohg built his dynasty on the shoulders of the accursed blood from the start. He's always been enamored by the beauty of blood and pain. Blood and pain are his suffering and his salvation. Mohg has suffered multiple miscarriages. Mohg desperately wants to have children. His blood pots are the memory of his youth, and I still believe they house the blood and rancorous spirits of those he's lost. He still keeps 28 day calendars all over his dynastic grounds. He wants to sustain a pregnancy, but his Numen heritage makes this dream so incredibly hard for him to reach, and blood is his obsession because of it.

If anything, the dlc has strengthened this headcanon for me. Now we know Omen horns grow alongside suffering. Every one of his twisting horns could be for one of his unborn who never made it. The Horned Bairn even reveals that Hornsent babies have a higher risk of infant mortality due to their heavy horns. And it's implied that horns sprout wildly from the ghosts of suffering - and to live in lamentation for a crown of twisting horns is greatly sacred, like blood.

(We also meet the Formless Mother's tribe, the Bloodfiends, and all of them have lean bodies with distended bellies, as if carrying young.)

Again, I think these are the obsessions that Miquella took advantage of. You know, in my personal interpretation of Mohg's blood-obsession ...

So now we have to recontextualize Mohg's key image in the introduction;

We know he's bewitched here. These actions are not his own, and yet Miquella lets Mohg hold him like a baby in the crook of his arm. He lets Mohg be gentle, despite that he must make Mohg look like a kidnapper and monster. Miquella is not slung over his shoulder. Miquella is not dragged. Miquella is not not carried away by disciples. He's letting Mohg feel what could be. He's manipulating. He's giving Mohg a taste of something he may have never had.

I could get even deeper and darker into headcanon territory and start formulating that the reason Miquella needed Mohg's body specifically was because Mohg is the only demigod left potentially able to bear children.

Malenia is made barren by the rot.

Morgott castrated himself. (headcanon)

Rykard is conjoined with Eiglay and lays her eggs.

Ranni is a doll.

Godwyn is corrupted.

Godrick is too feeble.

Radahn is his consort.

Fair enough that being God and consort doesn't require sex or children or such things - but it could. Radahn could be in for a rude awakening with that new body of his.

i just think she’s cool🫶

Bewitched.

“Look at me when I speak to you, Omen!”

Morgott getting bashful when presented with 'YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL' and doing everything he can to hide his face. Deny it.

And then there's Mohg, who just soaks it all in. Present him with 'YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL' and it'd just be an ego boost.

"... I do wish my brother thought that of himself."

im sorry
