God is dead and my mom killed them

we did sparring quite a bit as the dojo was small, and i got my ass handed to me so easily, so much, every single time, for a couple years. green belts are untouchable for newcomers to martial arts.

even years after she was still untouchable to me. and that was karate. i think mark zuck does jiu jitsu? that one martial art that bested all martial arts in the first ever UFC?

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.

Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.

Look, if you were sexually abused, or harassed, or raped, you can take comfort in knowing, regardless of gender, that I will be here to help you however I can, even if it’s just to help you smile again with my dumb shitposts.

In Dark Souls 3, all around the world, you can find people being transformed into trees. I find this imagery pretty neat for a few reasons: it's completely unique to this game but also it continues the tree motif that the series has. The game also has mysterious pilgrims that long to transform into giant tree-like butterflies. This is never directly explained.

Trees in the dark souls series are the pillars of the world: literally. Before the age of fire the world was composed of nothing but crags, dragons and giant archtrees: after the Lord Souls appeared and were claimed, seemingly a new world (or rather, worlds) was made on top of the archtrees, at least from what we can gather by the ash lake's location.

But of course, there couldn't just be trees, rocks and dragons: a kind of life, after all, rose up to claim the Souls for themselves.

To me, this signifies that the beings that became the gods and humanity were in some way connected to the trees: maybe, in some way, they were trees. And in Dark Souls 3, a world way past its natural end, every living creature is being called back to the way they used to be. Pilgrims hear the calling of the end of the world and set out to ascend their bodies that should no longer belong to them, acquiring their primordial form. And even regular undead can do little to stop the forcible reversing of the state of the world to an age that was already supposed to have come. Eventually, everything will go back to trees.

Or then again, maybe not. After all, even the biggest tree can be burned down to ashes.
