who do you think she works for? then, once you reach this chamber of revelations, the goddess gwynevere bestows the lordvessel upon you, and tells you to seek the souls of the powerful lords that remain in lordran to fill it, and succeed her father, the lord gwyn, which will occupy you for the rest of the playthrough. who do you think he works for? the lady of the darkling gives you more direction once you reach anor londo, telling you to enter the central cathedral, where at the far end you will receive a revelation. when you ring the bells of awakening, it wakes up kingseeker frampt, a primordial serpent, who gives you the next bit of direction - to brave sen’s fortress, reach anor londo, lost city of the gods, and retrieve the lordvessel therein. who do you think concocted that legend in the first place? the gods of anor londo, and there’s only one of them left by the time you show up. from the start of the game, all you know is some scrap of legend passed around the human lands about how a chosen undead will venture forth from the undead asylum to lordran, land of lords, and ring the bell of awakening, though you quickly find out it’s more complicated than that.
let’s talk about who runs the show in the story of dark souls.īecause it’s dark sun gwyndolin. if fromsoft can put out the same game twice then so can i. so here’s YES, DARK SUN GWYNDOLIN IS A TRANS WOMAN, NO, YOU CAN’T HAVE HER: PREPARE TO DIE EDITION. i wanted to revisit this piece for many reasons but mainly because dark souls 3 came out and vindicated my overall thesis. they’re not gonna stop being transmisogynist in four years and if anything the current geopolitical heel turn into overt fascism has only emboldened them. people are still talking about gwyndolin because A) having a bunch of snakes for legs is a really good look and B) because gamers are the scum of the earth. Hey! it’s 2019, four years after this piece’s original publication.
