issuing an official apology to androgenic: i didn’t understand your mewing was actually transhumanist praxis. carry on brave angel. i’ll meet you in the future.
@LordofCinder24@AesirAesthetics@fn_rd_ we know it is menstrual blood because it’s foil, the pale blood, is ripping directly from understandings of the humours where semen was understood to be male menstruation and the combination of the two sexes’ fluids is what created life which is why pale blood dregs have sperm
@Gimpo18526528@AesirAesthetics@fn_rd_ i mean yeah it’s not explicit but it’s clearly trying to riff on pre-modern english understandings of menstruation i.e. it’s humorous connection to the moon. the women you get blood from stop providing it to you when the blood moon rises signifying the pregnancy caused by Oedon
@AesirAesthetics@fn_rd_ i might be misremembering that the original old blood is from ebrietas though.. i haven’t been in the bloodborne mines for a while either
@AesirAesthetics@fn_rd_ I don’t think it’s ever stated explicitly but the church seeking out exclusively women to groom as blood saints/donors and the potential source of the “old blood” Ebrietas really resembling a cross section of a uterus kind of make it seem like that is the intended take away
an old man pretended to try to hit me with his car as i was walking to work today. awesome prank, turns out gen z aren’t the only ones with a sense of humor.
