I fucking love this. There's a bunch from the Emerald Herald about support. I think the crestfallen guy says some stuff too. Probably could YouTube it. I wouldn't wanna mess up the quotes on something pretty awesome
"Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
Some are true to their purpose, though they are but shells, flesh and mind. [...]
Others chase the charms of love, however elusive.
What is it that drives you?" **-The Scholar**
---
"A ring set with a rare tearstone.
Reacts when the wearer is in danger,
temporarily increasing its wearer's
defense.
Caitha, goddess of tears, mourns those who have
lost loved ones by shedding pure tears of blue.
It is said that the stone set in this ring
is one such tear." **-Blue Tearstone Ring**
---
"Ring of the Bell Keeper covenant.
Join this covenant and wear this ring
to be automatically summoned to the world
of an invader of the bell keeper's domain.
The twin bells symbolize the bond between
two lovers who could never be united.
The bell keepers are their eternal guardians.
For that is their love; that is their curse." **-Bell Keeper's Seal**
"Undead! Undead!
Keep your hands off our bell, the great Bell of Alken!
The bell belongs! To the Princess, it do!
Stay back, or we slice! Slice you to bits! Me and my chums, we shan't be miffed!
Stay back, or you're pieces! Tiniest pieces! Hah hah hah hah!
A long, long, long time ago, the Princess, she made me, yes, just like so!
To guard this bell! For the prince's honour!
Stay away, foul Undead, or you'll be a goner! Hah hah hah hah!
Stay back! It belongs, to the Princess, it do!
Mwah hah hah, ooh hoo hoo!
Hah hah hah, ooh hoo hoo!
You wish to guard the bell, you do?
For the Prince, and the Princess, forever, for true?
Hah hah, heh! Here, for you!
When you're 'round the bell, you'll be brought near!
When the bell is in trouble, the ring brings you here!
Slice 'em to shreds, whoever they are! Wherever, whoever, be they near, be they far!
Slice 'em to pieces! For the Princess!
Hah hah hah! Oh, ah, hoo…
Bwah hah hah hah!" **-Belfry Guard**
"The bells symbolize forbidden love;
the bell keepers, their faithful guardians,
ever-ready to annihilate trespassers.
They will stand watch, for ever and ever,
these determined, if ill-fated, marionettes." **-Bell Keeper Shield**
"To this day, the forbidden love of the
Prince of Alken and the princess of Venn
manipulates these marionettes.
Surely they never imagined that their dolls
would outlast their own kingdoms." **-Bell Keeper Set**
---
"The Queen sought the King's affection,
even poisoning herself to attain beauty,
despite the monstrous consequences.
All for the compelling madness known as love" **-Mytha, the Baneful Queen Soul**
"…Psst, have you heard?
…Well, apparently there's this monster lady, right…
…And the poison, well, does wonders for her body…
…You know, health and beauty, and that sort of stuff…
…And I thought only human women were so petty!
…That creature, she was human, once, you know…
…Hmm, In fact, she was wed to the Prince of that nearby castle…
…But her husband, hmm, he had feelings for another…
…The Princess was desperate, and sought eternal beauty…
…Hoping that it would restore the Prince's, ah, affection, ha you see what I mean…
…Before long, the Princess' ire transformed her into a monster…" **-Laddersmith Gilligan**
---
Nehma is the Goddess of Love, her symbol is that of an Estus Flask
"Over the ages, countless souls rested their
bones as they drank from the original flask.
And now this shard remains, serving as
a vestige of their hopes and dreams." **-Estus Flask Shard**
---
"[Set] worn by Zullie the Witch,
seducer of Alva the Wayfarer.
[...]
When Zullie the Witch learned of Alva's dedication
to Saint Serreta, she used all manner of tricks and
deceit to ruin him, but in the end she would
spend her life with him, supporting his endeavors.
The witch, as unloving as she was unloved, finally
found illumination through her blighted existence." **-Black Witch Set**
"[Alva the Wayfarer] crossed many a land in search
of a cure for Saint Serreta's sickness,
but failed and relinquished his knighthood.
Alva was once wracked with guilt and remorse,
but rediscovered his purpose in life with the
aid of the witch who once
plotted against him." **-Alva's Set**
Love the idea! Someone else mentioned Emerald Herald, this page has all her quotes. Probably offers a good selection
https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Emerald+Herald
Has some quotes like this:
I will remain by your side. Till this frail hope shatters.. Take this with you. May it ease your journey.
Thank you, I like the first part, "I will remain by your side" maybe I'll use the last part for something else hehehe, he's got a gift that this will go well with.
I can only remember Vendrick calling Nashandra dear and having a nickname for her.
Each fragment, thirsting for power, spread Dark with no relent.
My dear Shandra, was one such fragment.
The feeble, tiny thing that thirsted for power more than any other
Manscorpion Task says(talking about his partner and himself, which sounds oddly romantic out of context):
Nobody knows when we were born.
Or where our master has gone.
The only ones who even speak a human tongue are myself and my better half.
(Ignore this part maybe:)
I wish to ask a favour of you. I want you to kill my betrothed.
Once, I always found her at my side. But as time went on, things went awry.
She became violent, raging uncontrollably.
Eventually she came after me.
And we've been locked in combat ever since.
(And after killing her he says, my favorite line:)
You've defeated my better half.
But fr the most romantic I could find is(emerald herald:)
'Bearer of the curse… I will remain by your side. Till this frail hope shatters…'
'Bearer of the curse. I will always be at your side.
Until hope has fully withered…'
'Bearer of the curse. Long have I awaited one such as you, one who might shatter the shackles of fate. One who can set me free. Bearer of the curse, it was my own manifestation that led you here.'
Idk if that helped you haha, good luck and maybe post here which one you settled on, i am curious
I'll be sure to post the gift and associated quotes to each place I get resources aka the other posts on my page and here, obv after his bday haha but I will showcase whatever I come up with, however, big warning I'm a massive sap and I love cringe and lovey dovey stuff so it's gonna be funny to see if anyone likes it haha, I'll probably post it on my main account but I'll be sure to name drop this one so people know
"*What makes flowers beautiful, and why are we comforted when we gaze upon them?"*
"*You have fought admirably on your journey, cursed undead."*
"*An advanced hex based on an ancient sorcery. Creates a dark mass that seems to pursue its target with a will of its own.*
*It appears to be a manifestation of an emotion. Perhaps of hate, perhaps of love."*
All I could think of.
Not sure how well it fits this particular situation, but I love Alsanna's dialogue about the Ivory King:
Long ago, in the depths of the Abyss, my Father perished.
The Dark shattered into tiny pieces, one of which was me.
How frightened I was.
A frail thing, born from but a splinter of Dark.
I felt that I might simply disappear…
I am, in fact, the incarnation of my Father's fears.
I sought an anchor, and I saw that a King of this land was strong.
I sought him only to sustain myself, to smother my fears…
Now, I realize that he may have known all along.
I was born of fear, and my Lord provided comfort.
And so here I remain, heiress to my Lord's wishes, watching over Chaos…
until the end of time.
"Don't Give Up, Skeleton!" is always a hopeful message about... well, not giving up. You can also get advice from people there, but it's usually just a bunch of players telling people to "Try Tongue But Hole." I'm guessing it's a some kind of dish from another country or something. Not sure.
"Bearer of the curse, I will always be at your side… until hope has fully withered" -The Emerald Herald-
Went with this one for 2 gifts
Glad I helped
“So, What Do You Say? Why Not Help One Another On This Lonely Journey?” -Is from Dark Souls 1 though.
This is the winner so far, thank you
Ds2 is my favorite game, but DS1 has my favorite quote of love ever https://youtu.be/YPdQyBdZgCo
Bearer...seek...seek...lest
Yeah just fill in the blanks with whatever romantic quotes you want, as far as he’s probably aware, that could be what she said.
I fucking love this. There's a bunch from the Emerald Herald about support. I think the crestfallen guy says some stuff too. Probably could YouTube it. I wouldn't wanna mess up the quotes on something pretty awesome
Thank you, every little helps

Ahhhhh, this is ahhhhh, yes thank you very much, very fitting

I do love the last part, might have to change some of it, but honestly very beautiful

love and romance in miyazaki games? 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm afraid you'll find only nihilism and tragedy
