1. borrowing misery from future

2. carrying grief of the past

I'm just itching to show this to someone 😶‍🌫

I think he is very cool. I’d argue he’s probably in the top 5 most interesting demi-gods. I am saying this because I want to clarify that I like Mohg as a piece of the greater Elden Ring narrative 👍

Mohg definitely kidnapped Miquella of his own free will. The only evidence we have that he could’ve been changed prior to the cocoon being placed in the dynasty is Ansbach, a biased source who doesn’t even claim anything beyond “Miquella charmed Mohg ”. He doesn’t say that Miq lured Mohg to the Haligtree or anything of the sort. I don’t even know where people got that idea in their heads tbh.

There’s a very low chance that Miquella would’ve even known about the omen twins. The two seemed to be a very well kept secret, so I don’t know how he could’ve charmed a guy he’d never had contact with from a long distance (it’s heavily implied that Miq’s initial charm has to be done in close quarters) so he could abandon what appeared to be his main project that he clearly had a long term plan for.

The reason I’m so against the charmed abduction theory is for two main reasons: 1) It refuses Mohg his agency! Mohg is hard not to sympathize with, but he can still do fucked up shit. If all of his evil actions can be explained away via brainwashing or control from an outer god, then why is he even a character? My second reason is that 2) It leans into a very gross interpretation of Miquella as a “seductive youth” that used his evil powers of being a pretty child to trick a stand-up man into being attracted to him. I refuse to believe that Fromsoft would uncritically put that narrative wholesale into their story. Also people use the stupid ass Miquellester joke to be super homophobic about one of the only explicitly queer characters in the story.

his greed sickens me
