Silent Hill f Hinako’s Doll
It is interesting that she has a blonde doll. I think this shows her rejection of classical Japanese female roles. The game takes place after WWII. Western culture is getting into Japan whether it wants to or not. This is manifested by the blonde doll. Ever the rebel, Hinako plays with a blonde doll. She doesn’t want to be a traditional Japanese woman like her mom. She is afraid of losing her identity and becoming her husband’s little wife. This is why everything that has something to do with traditional roles gets morphed. In the nightmare world, traditional Japanese dolls...
Hollow Knight Grandmother Silk and Her Daughters
Silk has problems making children like all weavers. This was established by the first Hollow Knight game. Herrah was forced to crossbreed to make a child. So, she decides to make children, using the lifeforce of her followers. Eva and Lace The first two batches were Eva and the Lost sinner. Eva was too weak and the Lost sinner too rebellious. After discarding them, she made Lace and Phantom. For some reason, she grew bored of them. Perhaps, they lacked the ability to produce descendants. So, they were not useful for her long term goals. The Twin Princes were a...
Hollow Knight Carmen, Marry ME and Happy Quirrel Fanarts
I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. It is inspired on the movie Carmen. I was going to do a 4th of July type of fanart. In the end, I changed my mind. I decided to do Carmen instead. The movie follows the Carmen ballet pretty well. Just the plot that is. It has some crude realism to it. You have been warned. In any case, the movie kept me quite amused. So, I decided to make them Hollow Knight characters. Hornet plays the titular character Carmen. Quirrel is the soldier that falls in love with her. I hope you...
Games with Fun Berserk References
I did not include From software games. They have a lot of berserk reference. Therefore, they are going to be its own blog. The first one in the chopping block is final fantasy 7. Cloud’s buster sword is a reworking of Guts’s fancy sword. His villain Sephiroth is a pretty silver haired dude, just like Griffin. Like Griffin, Sephiroth went on a killing spree before ascending. He also harmed the main romantic interest. Casca and Tifa are strong warrior maidens. The black material at times turns red like the behelith egg. In dragon’s dogma, they have the armors of Griffin...
5 Possible Final Bosses for Baldur’s Gate 4
There is talk of a new Baldur’s Gate. I have some ideas of good possible final bosses. I think Vlakith, the Gith Queen could be a good option. She was left as an unresolved problem in the previous game. She can one day bring an invading force to Baldur’s Gate. So, the game starts in the city and then the protagonists have to run away. They return to the city with an army. Those that you do not recruit get taken over by this Queen. The second boss would be a Beholder. The characters can have blindfolds to limit their...
