And like, it’s kinda mirrored in-game? Bc all the female characters seem to be tied to being kin/ascending vs men, who primarily turn to beasts. I mean, obv. Amelia is the exception, but she had healing powers that other beasts didn’t posess, and her coat shone like the moon (maybe tying her to the moon prescence?) Instead of that dirty grey that the others did. Most of the Great Ones seem to be female-inclined, too, which is Really Interesting (part 2)

Bc if blood is the physical representation of the soul/ascention in Bloodborne , and the Great Ones are mostly female/have issues with fertility, and the hunt is driven by a moon godess who ALSO controls an aspect of blood, then that means that menunstration SHOULD be practically holy water, as it’s kinda like a lowkey miscarriage. It’s a godly rite/something that the gods suffer through, on a much lesser scale. So the blood should be considered highly potent and wonderful and revered (p3)

And I mean I guess they had to take it out to keep whiny cis straight men from dropping the game/menunstral blood is non-injectible, but like, it should have been a chalice ritual or somethin at best, considering everything. I’ve heard some people shit on the idea for it demonizing menunstration, but frankly, the worship of the Great Ones in Bloodborne isn’t the main horror aspect of the game (human greed is),so it would have been great worldbuilding behind communion and I am mad they dropped it

wow that is. that is a lot there buddy!!

im gonna have to start w my own premise that: i do not believe in the Holiness of the church. i don’t believe the Gods are any sort of positive influence that ought to be imitated. so i do not necessarily share your enthusiasm abt considering women n uteruses as Literally Holy.

you say blood is the soul/ascension but yr taking your own opinions on the matter as canon. in-game the blood is being experimented with as a way to unlock ascendance, yes, but it’s proved to be the opposite (since it, uh, turns the entire city into unthinking beasts). it’s lining the brain with eyes/insight/actually consuming Old Gods more directly than just blood that carries one to ascension (not just the hunter but Rom, who did not belong to a School that experimented with the blood, actually ascended)

we don’t know if the issues of the old gods is infertility. in fact, kos managed to successfully spawn, she simply lost her child by dying thus being unable to Have her child. i also dont like thinking of menstruation as “mini miscarriages" and i do not understand at all how the link w pregnancy would make menstrual blood more valuable than just… being blood (that comes forth naturally).
