@@Huntlley Because he sacrificed everything but that one memory you get at the end. thats all that was left of him. you can`t be a hypocrite if you can`t even remember the thing you gave up.
Imagine the indescribable pain Miquella underwent- one that far exceeded any of his other sacrifices when he threw away Saint Trina, followed by a great alleviation and transcends into an unburdened bliss, yet one that was utterly hollow.
@@PettyCrow-n9c Not exactly. Both Miquella and Trina called each other "my love" but Radagon and Marika to me feels like they were forced to be together by the Elden Beast in order to make more Emphyrean for the Greater Will. That's why Marika exiled Godfrey out of nowhere and Radagon abandoned Renalla. For the Elden Ring to exist, Emphyreans were needed and perhaps the Elden Beast was aware of Ranni's ambitions.
@@georgehouliaras7239I think Markia banishing Godfrey is more because it was the only way to stop him from killing Messmer, while also banishing her son to the shadows to still look good to her followers. We find out a lot about Godfrey and the enemies he fought but what's interesting is it never tells us much about the last worthy enemy he encounters only that it was somewhere between the borders of Caelid and Limgrave, and that he wins and loses his grace shortly afterwards. It is also possible that Godfrey learned the truth about Markia being the master mind behind it all making him a loose end to be taken care of.
@@PettyCrow-n9c i like to think she wanted to destroy that which makes the orders as in the beginning she destroyed everything in the world because she thought she could make a better order only to realize everyone under all orders are just pawns of the outer gods,
@@max13gaming95 I saw it as she served the Greater Will out of her believing it would spare the ones she loved from dying and suffering.

Like every character in GRRM's universes, everyone is morally gray. With that said, Miquella's intent was to save the world in a sense. But realistically you can't save the world without committing some level of sin or evil. For every revolution, there is collateral damage. An easy example, fighting Nazis in the real world incurred a lot of less than savory shit from the Allies.

I honestly feel like it would be like the iris of the grase, like we did with two nps,s grant them mercy of painless final moments, and for that reason alone i will go to the abyss and back for our saint. For trina,s boundless love and forgivness!
@@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee iris granted them $la very. Trina grants you eternal sleep or just a regular sleep which she granted chadlllier so he can stay awake to assist you vs Leda and Radhan.
@@Lazymindflayerwithcofffeealso iris of grace can’t be used by those touched by the intoxicating effect of chaos/frenzy. They say order and chaos are the same side of the coin. They say the fingers were misguided…I think the three fingers knew the only way to fix this great mistake of the greater will is to burn everything back to its basic. It’s sorta like the ultimate evil ending of undertale. Burn it all away and hopefully restart from the blank slate. Trina however was most likely the unintended consequence of Frenzy. For those in torment and pain, sleep and a meaningful eternal would stop the agony. I really think the greater will is also the frenzied flame of chaos. Order and chaos. And somehow you seem to decide what happens, who is to say you aren’t the greater will all along?
Trina's about literally dying to avoid suffering. Miquella's about embracing the world as it is and making it better. Kind of sad so many people trust Trina's philosophy of "Give up"
@@CreativeUsernameEh if you think that’s what Miquella is about then I don’t think you really understand the meaning of coercion and hypocrisy. He definitely would not want to embrace the world as it is. He wants to change the very fundamentals of the world. He wants to take the identity of the old order and crush it and remake it into his image where everyone is forced and coerced into loving him and follow his way. His path is no different than Madara forcing peace by illusion. His way is so wrong that he had to break the mind of his step brother Mogh and even his own sister Melania who he broke since childhood, you never wonder why she has this unnatural puppet like obedience and why her own offshoot: Milicient risked her life to “give back her pride and self identity” (Milicient at the church of the tree). The same reason why the only way Radhan became a consort is after death and you can see the color of control on radhans eyes that the only way miquella was able to gain control is to use the body of Mogh which he already manipulated. He is no different than the anti-Christ.
im in fucking tears "Kindly Miquella... I see you've thrown away... Something you should not have. Under any circumstances." > > “I abandon here my love”
Theophany, your Majora's Mask remixes are so phenomenal. I've kept listening to them for the past decade, I remember having signed up on your bandcamp e-mails. Seeing the Elden Ring e-mail update, made me think I was having a dream. You remixed my favourite game series/game, Majora's Mask, from my childhood. Now you're remixing one of my favourite games of all time. Thank you ❤
The colours remind me of resident evil 6, a sad and painful moment, the camera hovering over a fallen city, million lives were lost, fire everywhere, destroyed home, scattered toys of children, what horror, then panning to you, a soldier with a gas mask wondering the city alone, lost, no contact to his platoon, what shall he do now
The music very well captures the idea that something very wrong and tragic happened here, and you now know-if you hadn’t yet-who the true antagonist is.
The whole piece is gentle, yet poignant and otherworldly, and though the vocals are striking, what adds so much to it, for me, is the breathing sound of someone in deep sleep. Like you're standing at the edge of a vast ocean and the waves are just reaching the shore.
To bring an 100 year long voyage under an age of compassion. With no actual love in your heart. Is hypocritical Kindly Miquella. “Kindly Miquella… I see you’ve thrown away… Something you should not have. Under any circumstances…” I wish not to live under a god. Incapable of love.
Imagine a miquella that used the halligtree and cocoon to ascend. Becoming an adult and fighting us together with his other half. I imagine it would be a bit different from radahn and marika, where instead of changing, a big purple flower blooms out of miquella, reveals trina and then casts a big sleeping spell or other attacks
I've recently wondered that Saint Trina in a way is Miquella's love. Not only are her finals words full of love of her other half, but loyalty to her is inspired by love more than anything. Perhaps dualities like Saint Trina are born from a powerful part of an emperyan's personality. Miquella's relationship to Saint Trina definitely mirrors Radagon and Marika. But if Saint Trina is the personification of Miquella's love, then what is Radagon? Order? Strength? Perfectionism? Loyalty?
I belive it ideal of perfect knight of order: as his soreseal grants big bonis to strengh dexterity stamina and health, as well as his yearing to improve on himself (he learned sorcceries and incantetions, but i don,t doubte that they were more suplementary to his melee combat powers).
Always a delight to hear more music from you. Your Majora's Mask albums have been by my side in good and bad times since I first listened to them. To me, they're the greatest example of pure musical storytelling. Thanks so much for sharing your music with us! 🌟
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Poignant but also hauntingly beautiful. It's St. Trina's feelings about what Miquella has done, abandon her, and what he is planning to do. A cautionary tale to the Tarnished to stop him before it's too late. Absolutely lovely!
I’m really happy to hear that you are into music full time and can’t wait to hear this new masterpiece! I have Never seen someone as skilled as you for videogame music. Also hoping for the third album of time’s End. Great too hear that you are still working on that :)
I love how you can kind of feel the emotions changing as the song goes on, at first it's this sense of confusion and awe at uncovering this mystery, and finally finding St. Trina, then sorrow for their fate. Then as the music picks up in the middle, it becomes this feeling of anger and betrayal at Miquella for being so close to bringing about a better world, only to discard the single most important thing he could. Showing that he truly is no better than the other gods. Then at the end, it's a feeling of acceptance as you now know what you must do.
@@TheophanyRemix Haha thanks it's been a long time! I might have said before congrats on Kena, it was a gorgeous game. Still crazy to think we were around OCRemix, didn't you use a song of mine for a college video or something?
This music make me understand that "love abandonned" is depression. And this is probably what putrescence represents, the abandonment of the will, the death of individuality.
You and Rozen doing a collab is something from heavens, omg. Two beasts joining force together! Also I remember Laura performing live with VGL in Brazil back in 2009. She's sooooo good!
I lost it at @3:00 when the strings start picking up. That particular part makes me feel the most emotional. The whole song was just… lamentation but… also hopeful. Part of the vocals are full of hope even through it all. (Mind you this is my personal experience). Thank you for the song ❤. I love it.
When I read Elden Ring and Teophany in the same title I was insta hyped so hard I literally waited until I had a moment alone to enjoy this. I listened to your Majora's mask rework so many times that I memorized every note from beginning to end. Amazing work.
"Here I Abandon... My Love. Farewell Trina, mine other self. if fate shall have us torn asunder. then i shall tear myself mind and body. for my world must come to be. Mine Age of Compassion is more important then me."
I used to share your music all the time on my legend of zelda blog back in the day.. it's so amazing to see/hear you creating beautiful music for Elden Ring!
tysm for sharing my covers and supporting me like that, i appreciate it so much! And thank you for returning to check out my Elden Ring stuff and commenting too!
Imagine if she was the final boss with 3 phases - phase one is her, and most of her attacks are summonings and sleep aoe, also imagine that if the animals u see before the putrescent knight arena were her summons, but they are bigger like giants since its a dream, at least sleep boluses will have a better use than simply forgetting they even exist, after u beat her- phase two she transforms into Miquella, where he also uses alot of summons and tons of aoe attacks like he did with Radhan ( the simp mechanic is still there ) third phase is Godwyn the prince of death, a giga chad who look like a zombie but More like his former self, he uses death blight lightning and fight as aggressive as radagon. OMG It would have been the best and hardest boss ever made, a fight all within a dream in a magical arena.( OFC each phase got its own cutscene) - the remembrance wud be called ( Falling Fates of the Demigods ) it has 2 spells and one weapon - the weapon is a decent greatsword that afflicts death blight and lightning damage with an awesome ash of war, at least we will have a better deathblight weapon other than the eclipse shotel. The other two spells wud be a sleep spell ( we don’t have one so it makes sense ) lastly, the other spell is the same Miquella’s light . so much potential lost 💔😫
Trinas spell hopefuly would be the sleep cloud but like the frost clound in dark souls 3 that it would be more like a projectile that leaves sleep mist trail (sorcerry), the miquellas will still be light nuke, the goodwin,s greatsword would probably has aow of ,lanesaxes glave, but instead the sword coats in the golden lightning and you fly in the air for a bit (like a gravity spin on gaius,s weapon) but with dragon wings behind you
Trina would have a butterfly-like pettal wings (i feel like it would be fitting aestetic, and goodwin would copy most of death knights moves but imrove upon them, because i feel like it would fit in the lore that goodwin trained his knights himself, hence they were so loyal that they went into death relm and held on to their humanity even after their bodies started to decay (you can sleep them even though they undead)
ty for the super kind comment, for what it's worth, this will be out on spotify on Monday! Also, funny you mention this, I have a 1 hour ambient version I haven't released yet. But, it's more like pure ambience and vocals, not exactly just a loop of this. Also, your art is awesome, keep it up!!
🗣️(2:23)/(4:36)-To go from the plunge into the deep shroud of the Putrescent Knight battle, and survive only to hear this theme play…then you understand why you needed to descend so far to find this spot because something else important was once cast all the way to these same depths and survived-Miquella’s abandoned heart, that became St. Trina. 🫳💨🫀🕳️💥 🌱💜😴💭🌸💧 🗣️🎶💔 What one can only imagine is the lullaby of St. Trina plays in the background, as she endlessly dreams of the betrayal with no way to find true peace while Miquella still lives. Now I’m finally recalling the words at the cross point from Miquella far far above this same spot, “I abandon here my heart.” And now I understand the ghost that looked towards the spot saying those words, “Kindly Miquella…I see you’ve thrown away…Something you should not have. Under any circumstances.” St. Trina goes through all the stages of DEATH after being abandoned! First is denial as she refuses to wake and face reality, so she chooses eternal slumber as denial. Second is depression as she keeps not only reliving the nightmare of being abandoned but seeing Miquella abandon all his other humanities step by step. Next is fear as she begs you, “Help Miquella.” Then she sees him abandon almost all his humanities and says, “Save Miquella” so she’s at bargaining. Lastly she sees Miquella abandon the LAST of his humanity and now she finally faces acceptance as she says, “Kill Miquella.” After killing Miquella I felt the ending super anticlimactic like a 6/10 at best. Then I remembered St. Trina, and went back for one last visit before putting the game down for good to see if anything had changed for her after finally killing Miquella. That last drop St. Trina gave with *THIS MUSIC PLAYING* took the ending from a 6 to a solid 10! I realized just like Miquella that I had forgotten her too! Her final gift is to remind you to never make the same mistake!🤧🫡 *NEVER* finish this game without revisiting St. Trina! The entire point of killing Miquella is for his true heart to find closure after putting his heartless body, (that contradicts its desires) to eternal rest. Killing Miquella is justice for all of his humanities he abandoned, but it was his very HEART first and foremost that begged for his end, and a release from its unbearable pain!
Man I’m not really into Elden Ring but your work is so amazing that it doesn’t matter if I played it or not, I still enjoy it 1000% You make such wonderful music Theophany, you truly do:)
when there's no love, what remain that make you pursue a goal ? no seriously it's a true question. If St trina is the love that miquella left behind, then, if radhan is used, does that mean there is no love remaining even for Radhan and that he is just using him, making him a puppet by kidness so he could not feel bad being used ?! is goal is to make a kinder world, the problem is without love, kidness could mean global genocide in a sens that everybody suffer... or, glabal mind wipe, where everybody is under miquella influence and so, nobody does anythings againt's everybody, yet nobody feels bad about it because of the power of god miquella. And the kindness is, nobody suffer from this. It's a fucking nightmare !!! like, the opposite of St Trina in a sense !
Eve though i follow the Trina and by exention perfect order: ,,May chaos take the world, and bring everione in trina,s boundless embrace of peasefull end"
Been following you for a while now, was a huge fan of your work on Majora's Masks album, and instantly recognized you when first watching Kena : Bridge of Spirit's presentation !

“I abandon here my love”
That hit me in the gut man. Elden Ring’s script writing is beautiful.
Even though when Radahn grabs us for the second time, Miquella asks us to think of only love. Pure hypocrisy.
@@Huntlley Because he sacrificed everything but that one memory you get at the end. thats all that was left of him. you can`t be a hypocrite if you can`t even remember the thing you gave up.
Even thoufh it is bad that he left trina there, it us good that now we can meet her, and together we will make our sleeping saint happy
Imagine the indescribable pain Miquella underwent- one that far exceeded any of his other sacrifices when he threw away Saint Trina, followed by a great alleviation and transcends into an unburdened bliss, yet one that was utterly hollow.

Imagine a miquella that used the halligtree and cocoon to ascend. Becoming an adult and fighting us together with his other half.
I imagine it would be a bit different from radahn and marika, where instead of changing, a big purple flower blooms out of miquella, reveals trina and then casts a big sleeping spell or other attacks
I've recently wondered that Saint Trina in a way is Miquella's love. Not only are her finals words full of love of her other half, but loyalty to her is inspired by love more than anything.
Perhaps dualities like Saint Trina are born from a powerful part of an emperyan's personality. Miquella's relationship to Saint Trina definitely mirrors Radagon and Marika. But if Saint Trina is the personification of Miquella's love, then what is Radagon? Order? Strength? Perfectionism? Loyalty?
I belive it ideal of perfect knight of order: as his soreseal grants big bonis to strengh dexterity stamina and health, as well as his yearing to improve on himself (he learned sorcceries and incantetions, but i don,t doubte that they were more suplementary to his melee combat powers).
Always a delight to hear more music from you. Your Majora's Mask albums have been by my side in good and bad times since I first listened to them. To me, they're the greatest example of pure musical storytelling. Thanks so much for sharing your music with us! 🌟
thank you so much! I'm so happy to share more music with you!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Poignant but also hauntingly beautiful. It's St. Trina's feelings about what Miquella has done, abandon her, and what he is planning to do. A cautionary tale to the Tarnished to stop him before it's too late.
Absolutely lovely!
I’m really happy to hear that you are into music full time and can’t wait to hear this new masterpiece! I have Never seen someone as skilled as you for videogame music. Also hoping for the third album of time’s End. Great too hear that you are still working on that :)
that is incredibly kind to say, ty so much for listening, and commenting, and i'm really excited to make more music for you!
@@TheophanyRemix May god bless you and your work.
This song broke my art block
I love how you can kind of feel the emotions changing as the song goes on, at first it's this sense of confusion and awe at uncovering this mystery, and finally finding St. Trina, then sorrow for their fate. Then as the music picks up in the middle, it becomes this feeling of anger and betrayal at Miquella for being so close to bringing about a better world, only to discard the single most important thing he could. Showing that he truly is no better than the other gods. Then at the end, it's a feeling of acceptance as you now know what you must do.
I don't know how long I stayed there, but I couldn't stop listening to this beauty. Love it. Thx for uploading.
I always ignored this OST because it didn’t seem that interesting. But honestly it’s one of the best in the game.
Theophany lives
To abandon love is to abandon meaning.
"A caged divinity...is beyond saving."
100/100 for this Masterpiece
beautiful and yet absolutely horrifying, definately more of a nightmare reaching its culmination than the original score
Beautiful! Love the string work at 3:58 and the mood of the ending 5:00 onwards with the crossing vocals is so effective.
My duude!! It's so great to hear from you, thank you for listening and the kind comments, and congrats on your amazing Frenzied Flame Merchant track!
@@TheophanyRemix Haha thanks it's been a long time! I might have said before congrats on Kena, it was a gorgeous game. Still crazy to think we were around OCRemix, didn't you use a song of mine for a college video or something?
@@alex-roe i absolutely did use one of your tracks for a college project, i remember that 😂 Thank you so much for the congrats on Kena too!
Grant Miqella a final mercy, in the form of destined death
The reaction: 🤨
The analysis: 😌
The sleep: 🚬😴
This music make me understand that "love abandonned" is depression.
And this is probably what putrescence represents, the abandonment of the will, the death of individuality.
Love the cover art for this❤️
There can be no compassion without love...
You and Rozen doing a collab is something from heavens, omg. Two beasts joining force together!
Also I remember Laura performing live with VGL in Brazil back in 2009. She's sooooo good!
tysm! and i agree, she's incredible! i shared your comment with her ❤️
NO WONDER, it's SO FRICKIN GOOD! This person, who I just stumbled across, did it with ROZEN! OMFG! Wow!
I lost it at @3:00 when the strings start picking up. That particular part makes me feel the most emotional. The whole song was just… lamentation but… also hopeful. Part of the vocals are full of hope even through it all. (Mind you this is my personal experience). Thank you for the song ❤. I love it.
This is so beautiful. I cried.
When I read Elden Ring and Teophany in the same title I was insta hyped so hard I literally waited until I had a moment alone to enjoy this. I listened to your Majora's mask rework so many times that I memorized every note from beginning to end. Amazing work.
thank you so much ❤ i'm lucky to have longtime supporters like you, i just want you to know i appreciate you!
Saint Trina did not deserve this. I wish there was a way to save her.
I never New Subbed to someone so fast in my life! WOW!
“Elden Ring, and the Awakening of St .Trina”
"Here I Abandon... My Love. Farewell Trina, mine other self. if fate shall have us torn asunder. then i shall tear myself mind and body. for my world must come to be. Mine Age of Compassion is more important then me."
LOVED your Zelda music and enjoyed the Elden Ring covers.
Damn its good to hear from you again.
I used to share your music all the time on my legend of zelda blog back in the day.. it's so amazing to see/hear you creating beautiful music for Elden Ring!
tysm for sharing my covers and supporting me like that, i appreciate it so much! And thank you for returning to check out my Elden Ring stuff and commenting too!
Imagine if she was the final boss with 3 phases - phase one is her, and most of her attacks are summonings and sleep aoe, also imagine that if the animals u see before the putrescent knight arena were her summons, but they are bigger like giants since its a dream, at least sleep boluses will have a better use than simply forgetting they even exist, after u beat her- phase two she transforms into Miquella, where he also uses alot of summons and tons of aoe attacks like he did with Radhan ( the simp mechanic is still there ) third phase is Godwyn the prince of death, a giga chad who look like a zombie but
More like his former self, he uses death blight lightning and fight as aggressive as radagon. OMG It would have been the best and hardest boss ever made, a fight all within a dream in a magical arena.( OFC each phase got its own cutscene) - the remembrance wud be called ( Falling Fates of the Demigods ) it has 2 spells and one weapon - the weapon is a decent greatsword that afflicts death blight and lightning damage with an awesome ash of war, at least we will have a better deathblight weapon other than the eclipse shotel. The other two spells wud be a sleep spell ( we don’t have one so it makes sense ) lastly, the other spell is the same Miquella’s light . so much potential lost 💔😫
Trinas spell hopefuly would be the sleep cloud but like the frost clound in dark souls 3 that it would be more like a projectile that leaves sleep mist trail (sorcerry), the miquellas will still be light nuke, the goodwin,s greatsword would probably has aow of ,lanesaxes glave, but instead the sword coats in the golden lightning and you fly in the air for a bit (like a gravity spin on gaius,s weapon) but with dragon wings behind you
Trina would have a butterfly-like pettal wings (i feel like it would be fitting aestetic, and goodwin would copy most of death knights moves but imrove upon them, because i feel like it would fit in the lore that goodwin trained his knights himself, hence they were so loyal that they went into death relm and held on to their humanity even after their bodies started to decay (you can sleep them even though they undead)
Oh boy hyped af 🔥
YEAH St. Trina Content!
I wish this can extend to 10 hours.................I've been replaying this for entire day now. Your work is so fabulous
ty for the super kind comment, for what it's worth, this will be out on spotify on Monday! Also, funny you mention this, I have a 1 hour ambient version I haven't released yet. But, it's more like pure ambience and vocals, not exactly just a loop of this. Also, your art is awesome, keep it up!!
She really wanted to stop him becoming another Marika
🗣️(2:23)/(4:36)-To go from the plunge into the deep shroud of the Putrescent Knight battle, and survive only to hear this theme play…then you understand why you needed to descend so far to find this spot because something else important was once cast all the way to these same depths and survived-Miquella’s abandoned heart, that became St. Trina.
🫳💨🫀🕳️💥
🌱💜😴💭🌸💧
🗣️🎶💔
What one can only imagine is the lullaby of St. Trina plays in the background, as she endlessly dreams of the betrayal with no way to find true peace while Miquella still lives. Now I’m finally recalling the words at the cross point from Miquella far far above this same spot, “I abandon here my heart.”
And now I understand the ghost that looked towards the spot saying those words, “Kindly Miquella…I see you’ve thrown away…Something you should not have. Under any circumstances.”
St. Trina goes through all the stages of DEATH after being abandoned! First is denial as she refuses to wake and face reality, so she chooses eternal slumber as denial. Second is depression as she keeps not only reliving the nightmare of being abandoned but seeing Miquella abandon all his other humanities step by step. Next is fear as she begs you, “Help Miquella.” Then she sees him abandon almost all his humanities and says, “Save Miquella” so she’s at bargaining. Lastly she sees Miquella abandon the LAST of his humanity and now she finally faces acceptance as she says, “Kill Miquella.”
After killing Miquella I felt the ending super anticlimactic like a 6/10 at best. Then I remembered St. Trina, and went back for one last visit before putting the game down for good to see if anything had changed for her after finally killing Miquella.
That last drop St. Trina gave with *THIS MUSIC PLAYING* took the ending from a 6 to a solid 10! I realized just like Miquella that I had forgotten her too! Her final gift is to remind you to never make the same mistake!🤧🫡
*NEVER* finish this game without revisiting St. Trina! The entire point of killing Miquella is for his true heart to find closure after putting his heartless body, (that contradicts its desires) to eternal rest. Killing Miquella is justice for all of his humanities he abandoned, but it was his very HEART first and foremost that begged for his end, and a release from its unbearable pain!
😌Make Miquella stop... Don't turn the poor thing into a god...🪻
🎭You have no understanding. Of Kind Miquella. Of St. Trina's love... 🪡
Oh my gosh this is so beautiful. What a gorgeous rendition!!
This music must be in official playlist! Great work!
Utterly enchanting
We never got Time's End 3 but if we get a full Elden Ring album, my heart will be stolen 👼
I would love to hear what you would do with Midra's OST. Anyway, St.Trina and Miquella are my faves
I'm working on Midra right now actually!
From Majora's Mask to Elden Ring, thank you for every release! Molgera was my first listen ever, and I'm grateful for it all!
Looking forward to the album.
Man I’m not really into Elden Ring but your work is so amazing that it doesn’t matter if I played it or not, I still enjoy it 1000%
You make such wonderful music Theophany, you truly do:)
the legend is still among us :D
This is majestic, well done! :D 🤩
I didn't play Elden Ring yet, but this gave me goosebumps till the end. It's so emotional. What a track!😮❤
this is actually incredible, I subbed immediately
I appreciate the sub, it really helps me out. Thanks for taking a chance and listening to my stuff!
Oh this is utterly beautiful.
Theophany is back! Let's go!
Really beautiful:)
Those vocals mixing up with those arrangements damn, looking forward to listen to this album on spotify while I drive all day long 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Damn this is perfect man.. sounds like something out of Donnie Darko with the vocals.
when there's no love, what remain that make you pursue a goal ? no seriously it's a true question. If St trina is the love that miquella left behind, then, if radhan is used, does that mean there is no love remaining even for Radhan and that he is just using him, making him a puppet by kidness so he could not feel bad being used ?!
is goal is to make a kinder world, the problem is without love, kidness could mean global genocide in a sens that everybody suffer... or, glabal mind wipe, where everybody is under miquella influence and so, nobody does anythings againt's everybody, yet nobody feels bad about it because of the power of god miquella.
And the kindness is, nobody suffer from this.
It's a fucking nightmare !!! like, the opposite of St Trina in a sense !
Incredible work
Missed you Theophany, legit my favorite music maker
Thou was not kind in the end Miquella...
May chaos take the world.
Eve though i follow the Trina and by exention perfect order: ,,May chaos take the world, and bring everione in trina,s boundless embrace of peasefull end"
And make St. Trina dissapointed in me? Not a chance in hell.
Abandon your fate miquella. For you ambitions of a new age will now slumber within the dreamless oblivion, much like the sleeping Saint.
Finally, the real goat doing some elden ring tunes
This is incredible. Just fantastic. I'm glad the algorithm brought it my way.
This is so hauntingly beautiful 💜
Beautifully calming
Still a fan to this day. Love your work.
