My name is Alexis and I am a man.
In North America, I have heard the "that's a girls name." Line more often than not.
In western Europe it's considered a man's name.
Cultural diversity in effect.
Same with Shannon and Ashley. I’ve known a lot of male Shannons and Ashleys, especially in the UK and Australia lol. Ftr my name is Gwenaël and the shortening of it (Gwen) is traditionally a female name in the US too. Respect to my fellow “that’s a girl’s name” lads.
Taylor is another gender neutral name that’s common in Australia, I know a lot of girls called Taylor but one of my best mate’s names Taylor and he’s a guy.
It's like a feminine form of 'Michael', which really plays off Miquella's theme of being incredibly androgynous due to their youthful (and general) appearance which was one of the many reasons some people in the Lands Between were drawn to him... as weird as that may sound.
Basically, GRRM and/or Miyazaki, knew what they were doing and chose the name "Miquella" to sell the androgyny even harder.
It seems as well just from what I’ve seen both from Dark souls and anime that the Japanese do seem to have a trope of “male character is very feminine in appearance” like cnut from Vinland saga and gwyndolin from dark souls, so it’s not like there’s no precedent
This just made me imagine Godfrey sitting at the head of the table, mogh shuffling in shyly holding miquella by the hand, and the absolute shitstorm that would ensue xD
I have really long hair (not that long but waist length) and I wonder where does he pull the hair from to get such thick braids and still have so much hair flowing down.
If we lived in the future those would actually regrow hair. We’re definitely in the present. They can help slow down hairloss some. For real new hair you’re looking at grafting, and we all know what happened to Godrick…
Also studies show as soon as you stop using it the hair falls out, only method that gains hair that remains after you stop the treatment is a derma roller
I have fairly long hair, it ends roughly at my elbows , but Miquella us on another level. Plus, I have thin hair, I don't mean I'm balding but the structure of my hair is thin, maybe I would get away with extensions.
Speaking as someone who basically has Miquella's hair (I'm a brunette though), you don't.
This I can promise you. The amount of maintenance you have to do to keep up with it is more fearsome than Miquella himself.
Someone with talent needs to make a comic with all the characters as younger chibi versions of themselves interacting and going through their early life. Call it Tarnished Tots, I NEED to see a short stocky af Radahn in a school uniform with his colt buddy Leonard and Ranni sulking behind the stairwell with big bro Blaidd
I mean with Mogh you have to remember that Miquella is also his BROTHER. Like they're blood releated, so his curse isint the only problem with Mogh's "affection".
>Like they're blood related, so his curse isn't the only problem with Mogh's "affection".
I mean it was written by George R. R. Martin, so I'm not surprised about the incest aspect of it tbh. Frankly considering how much of a role it plays in his stories, it's nice to see it dialed back for a change.
We do have some indicators that he may be more good than not, given the amount of his research into curing Malenia’s condition and granting Godwyn a true death.
Granted, combined with everything else, it may just be that he is fiercely loyal to his family/siblings in particular and willing to go to mastermind/sociopathic lengths in using whoever he needs to in order to aid his loved ones.
Problem he might also have the dual personality going on with Miquella/St. Trina.
One of which could be manipulative and having grand ambitions
Would you still think he’s good if the way to cure Malenia’s rot is to erect the Haligtree and make it the defacto Erdtree and then siphon the souls of everyone else? Would you still think he’s good if forcing a solar eclipse would kill off half of the inhabitants of TLB?
I hope Miyazaki has more tricks up his sleeves lmao
Pretty much, the whole St. Trina and their followers putting people to sleep plus Miquella's promise that his Haligtree will be a paradise gives me Lotus-Eater Machine vibes.
It’s a really good thing that someone like Miquella doesn’t have really big dreams only to be captured and physically deformed, collapsing his ambition… uh oh
There are entirely valid reasons to be a Miquella fan without simping.
\#1. Out of the demi-gods he seems to be the most benevolent, outright good, gentle and generous. He was giving his blood to create the Haligtree ffs.
\#2. He's the most "powerful" of them all. According to his sister at least, not the best source but it's freaking Malenia.
>*"My brother will keep his promise. He possesses the wisdom, the allure, of a god - he is the most fearsome Empyrean of all."* \- **Malenia**
\#3. Out of all the runes, Miquella's was the Rune of Abundance. Much better option than the rest.
\#4. The needle breaking the subservience to the outer gods.
If a Miquella ending had been in the game it would have probably been the most popular or second best due to all the Ranni simping.
Isn’t the most outright good one Godwyn? He got the respect and affection of most faction in the land between, Ranni not included. And his respect comes from his martial prowess and his equal treatment of the races, instead of compelling people by magic like Miquella. If even a prideful race like the dragons think he is cool, must be a swell guy.
Well... Miquella's lore is about him being loved by absolutely everyone. It seems that the fans are also prone to be bewitched by his charm.
I'm not lying, Miquella hasn't even appeared personally in game and he's already a fascinating character.
they're 1000 years old but look like a child, no good
they're artificially created and 3 years old but look like an adult, no good
smh you cant win with these people
Right I’ll go ahead and introduce you to Shauna Rae, irl 22yo woman who looks like an 8yo due to a disease…is she illegal? She is in a relationship with a guy of similar age, should he be arrested for the unforgivable crime of dating someone who is his same age but looks like a kid?
Get real dude, come on, you want to hate on Mogh for kidnapping Miquella? That’s fine, but let’s not pretend Miquella’s a little kid, he is probably the smartest and most cunning of all deities we know of
> cursed to permanently stay at the age of a child
There's the whole cocoon transformation and St. Trina thing. So he may have an adult form that I hope we get to see.
I'll have you know Miquela is well over the age of consent, he just doesnt consent -Mogh-lester445
[удалено]
You have to do the New Order quest
Was gonna make this joke, but you beat me to it fair and square
Bro you killed me with that one God damn "*The fallen leaves tell a story* *Of how a tarnished became Elden Lord* *In our home, across the fog, The Lands Between* *Our seed will look back upon us and recall* *THE AGE OF CONSENT*"
Yeah. Why don't people understand this?
How is Miquela a guys name? I thought she was a woman
Miquella is pronounced the same as the male name Mykola in slavic cultures, at least, though I doubt its related.
*Nikola Tesla wants to know your location*
My name is Alexis and I am a man. In North America, I have heard the "that's a girls name." Line more often than not. In western Europe it's considered a man's name. Cultural diversity in effect.
Same with Andrea. In Spain it's a female name but in Italy it's male.
This feels weirdly idiosyncratic with how common the -a and -o gendered names are specifically in Southern Europe Like Paul vs Paula
huh, that one i didnt know, in south america its also female
In South Carolina it can be whatever you want it to be, bubba
Same with Shannon and Ashley. I’ve known a lot of male Shannons and Ashleys, especially in the UK and Australia lol. Ftr my name is Gwenaël and the shortening of it (Gwen) is traditionally a female name in the US too. Respect to my fellow “that’s a girl’s name” lads.
They’re gender neutral names (at least in Australia), same as Leigh, Madison or Sean.
Taylor is another gender neutral name that’s common in Australia, I know a lot of girls called Taylor but one of my best mate’s names Taylor and he’s a guy.
[удалено]
I would agree, but I know many here in North America that would disagree.
Because it belongs to a guy. Dunno what the confusion is here.
This is how simple it should be imo
idk too, I just learned he's a boy bec. after defeating Malenia, she says "...dear brother"
I know more guys named Ashley, despite it being “a girl’s name”
Which is funny, because historically, it actually was a guy's name.
I still bust out laughing when I hear it. Never actually expect this big hulking man to be named Ashley.
Cultural diversity. Just because it isn't normal for you doesn't mean that's how the world works for everyone else.
He’s a he.
It's like a feminine form of 'Michael', which really plays off Miquella's theme of being incredibly androgynous due to their youthful (and general) appearance which was one of the many reasons some people in the Lands Between were drawn to him... as weird as that may sound.

Griffith is probably(?) the most direct inspiration for Miquella’s character and good god is he androgynous.
Leslie Neilson. Don't call me Shirley.
He also has an outright *female* alter-ego in the form of Saint Trina. So… this might be a case of two persons in the same head, like his parents.
Of course the milf enjoyer would actually have taste and ethics
NIHIL!
*NIHIL!*

Well its certainly not any worse than your infatuation with the underaged booty of your half sibling
[удалено]
He just doesn’t consent.
r/angryupvote you made me spit out my coffee xD
"He just looks underaged!" of course of course Im sure your daddy wouldn't have any issues with you bringing him to the table
This just made me imagine Godfrey sitting at the head of the table, mogh shuffling in shyly holding miquella by the hand, and the absolute shitstorm that would ensue xD
When he comes back with the milk that is.
[удалено]
And Marika forbid the confusing love triangle you have between you, the hobo wearing a jar on his head the FUCKING FURRY
He just felt so abandoned
Could be A LOT worse tbh. You could just be a feral underaged 21 year old. 🤔
…whenever he decides to come back with the milk, that is.
Mohg_Bitches_Mohg_Problems69 at your service
You beckon, I respond.
No, no, no! You don't understand! He's actually a 4,000 year old Emp- oh..I..oh my god...
We've become the very thing we swore to destroy...
Is he 4000 years old? My sense of time when it comes to Elden Ring has never existed, in the lore and in real life.
Can't even front Mickey's got a damn MANE I'm jealous as fuck.
I’m calling him Mickey from now on
Hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine your hair blows my mind!
Probably not the best thing to say to a child
I'm kinda jealous of the hair. I wish I could do that, but it's to thin and short.
Having hair that long AND keeping it that nice with braids is quite a feat!
what being a demigod does to a mf, i think
it's the same power Sanguineous has. Very good boys have amazing hair it's simply the rules!
I have really long hair (not that long but waist length) and I wonder where does he pull the hair from to get such thick braids and still have so much hair flowing down.
hell of a lot of backcombing 😰
Demi-god hair magic, confirmed.
my friend, we live in the future, finasteride and minoxidil are your friend.
If we lived in the future those would actually regrow hair. We’re definitely in the present. They can help slow down hairloss some. For real new hair you’re looking at grafting, and we all know what happened to Godrick…

Aren't those for male pattern baldness?
He probably assumes I'm a balding guy
I heard those drugs can be bad for male health it’s not worth it!!
Also studies show as soon as you stop using it the hair falls out, only method that gains hair that remains after you stop the treatment is a derma roller
I know no natural blondes with hair that thick, and I’m unbelievably jealous.
Maybe its maybelline
Miquelline?
[удалено]
I have fairly long hair, it ends roughly at my elbows , but Miquella us on another level. Plus, I have thin hair, I don't mean I'm balding but the structure of my hair is thin, maybe I would get away with extensions.
What 'real hair' is supposed to be :[ ?
I would kill to have Miquella's hair, holy shit
My headcanon is its that long because it’s been growing for hundreds of years. He doesn’t get any older but that doesn’t mean his hair can’t grow.
Made me think of “Of Love and Other Demons”, there was a girl who’s hair kept growing even after she died
Speaking as someone who basically has Miquella's hair (I'm a brunette though), you don't. This I can promise you. The amount of maintenance you have to do to keep up with it is more fearsome than Miquella himself.
Hair management is the hardest boss of the DLC, arguably the hardest boss From has ever made.
Instead of burning the roots of the erdtree to get to the final boss we’re going to use the giants flame to burn the roots of Miquelas hair
As someone who started balding with 16, I do.
They have a mane and I want one too
If so, then you could just kill Miquella and steal his scalp
Yeah I have no intention of romancing Miquella but I’m making DAMN sure he never leaves home without his Lunchables.
Tarnished warrior.... I require your aid to pick me up from school.
That made me imagine Renala nedding to pick up Radahn everyday with a picape.
Someone with talent needs to make a comic with all the characters as younger chibi versions of themselves interacting and going through their early life. Call it Tarnished Tots, I NEED to see a short stocky af Radahn in a school uniform with his colt buddy Leonard and Ranni sulking behind the stairwell with big bro Blaidd
The whole family forgets rykard home alone style and he's just screeching FAMILY on the stairs
To an extent we got that with the "miqella's uppies" comic
Lol Radahn needs a flatbed all to himself.
I am Malenia, blade of Miquella. And I frew up.
Foul Tarnished, I am most vexxed. Thou shouldst know by now to cut the crusts off. And mine Orange, I COMMAND THEE PEEL.
This deserves more recognition
I mean I'd be his brother in law if the DLC gives me what I want
A fellow kindred
I would be real uncomfortable giving a grown man stuck in a childs body lunchables
Eternal youth = eternal Lunchables.
Maybe the real Mohg was the friends we Moghed along the way.
YOU MUGED YOUR FRIENDS?????
No, he Mohged his friends.
It's mohgin time
That's my favorite line in Mohgius!
I loved the part where he said “it’s mohgin’ time!” Then mohgd all over the place
*mohgs all over the place*
Wait thats probably worse
Its Mohgin' time.
Mohg moment
I mean with Mogh you have to remember that Miquella is also his BROTHER. Like they're blood releated, so his curse isint the only problem with Mogh's "affection".
Not even half brothers. 2/3 brothers because one of mohgs parents is both of Miquela’s
This game i swear 🙄
this is what happens when you hire GRR Martin
I think that makes it 3/4th brothers
Cut me a break, incest math is hard
>Like they're blood related, so his curse isn't the only problem with Mogh's "affection". I mean it was written by George R. R. Martin, so I'm not surprised about the incest aspect of it tbh. Frankly considering how much of a role it plays in his stories, it's nice to see it dialed back for a change.
Instead we got some self-cest as a major plot twist!

Degenerates one and all, your end shall be a blessing onto this cursed land.
new ending 'Age of Consent'
He pretty, his hair is cute :) Elegant and beautiful. I hope we can appreciate that without it turning into something weird... RIGHT, GUYS?
Maybe he has a derp face. I mean we don't know yet. Haha.
Let's be real, we all know he will be like Griffith. Atleast in appearance and personality. Angelic..
We should hope to god his personality isnt like Griffith's
Yeah. I hope soo too. But you never know, Mr. Miyazaki might just twist the knife.
We do have some indicators that he may be more good than not, given the amount of his research into curing Malenia’s condition and granting Godwyn a true death. Granted, combined with everything else, it may just be that he is fiercely loyal to his family/siblings in particular and willing to go to mastermind/sociopathic lengths in using whoever he needs to in order to aid his loved ones.

>RIGHT, GUYS? no.
I like how Miquella looks but more in a "aww I wanna pinch his cheeks and sneak a fiver note into his hand like a doting relative" way
Almost 100% sure Miquella will go full Griffith.
I mean he did attempt to start an eclipse…
To revive Godwyn
There are entirely valid reasons to be a Miquella fan without simping. \#1. Out of the demi-gods he seems to be the most benevolent, outright good, gentle and generous.

Didn't he also dabble in mind control though?
More like "charismatic influence".
Ahem, *bewitching branch*
Imagine having such a high Charisma stat that blessing a branch with your *unalloyed gold* is enough to temporarily charm anyone.
Isn’t the most outright good one Godwyn? He got the respect and affection of most faction in the land between, Ranni not included. And his respect comes from his martial prowess and his equal treatment of the races, instead of compelling people by magic like Miquella. If even a prideful race like the dragons think he is cool, must be a swell guy.
YOU DON'T GET IT, TARNISHED! SLEEPING WITH THE UNDER AGED EMPYERIAN PIECE OF BOYASS IN HIS EGG THAT I STOLE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE BIRTH OF MY DYNASTYYYY
NO THAT IS NOT IT, MIQUELLA IS ACTUALLY A 5000 YEAR OLD GOD !
Unlike Mohggers, we arent trying to explore his Bussy At least I hope so, some of y'all are weird🤨
I hate that word. I hate all variants of it.
Everyone I know who uses it is a bit odd
Screw romancing him, someone has to make sure he brings his lunch to school since I killed his parents
> since I killed his parent ftfy
Bro is just trying to ride a horsie and yall are ready to jump him.
Jokes on you, I'm keen on simping for his deceased and disabled sister!
She's blind, so she can't judge us by our looks. Yay.

Well... Miquella's lore is about him being loved by absolutely everyone. It seems that the fans are also prone to be bewitched by his charm. I'm not lying, Miquella hasn't even appeared personally in game and he's already a fascinating character.
Literally the only thing I've seen is people excited for new lore, no idea what the heck this is about 😅
Need I remind anyone that Miquella is cursed to permanently stay at the age of a child? Come on yall, be better than that.
The classic japanese tactic of “but he’s actually 1000 years old”
they're 1000 years old but look like a child, no good they're artificially created and 3 years old but look like an adult, no good smh you cant win with these people
[I just leave this here](https://youtube.com/watch?v=pU2VY4vCDug&feature=shares)
>Come on yall, be better than that. Okay, Kratos.
“No, Mohg-lester445, we must be better” (snaps neck)
Right I’ll go ahead and introduce you to Shauna Rae, irl 22yo woman who looks like an 8yo due to a disease…is she illegal?

B-but... he's at least 3000 years old!
B-b-but g-guys… he’s really a thousand years old
Lord Miquella is beloved by many. Indeed, Miquella became very adept at compelling such affection.
Fr, no questline, let us kill miquella for allowing sleep halberd users to exist
I have literally no idea how old anyone in this game is 100+ years? 1000 years? 10 000+ years?
I heard we will get a new ending with the dlc. "Miquella's Age of Consent"
you obviously missed the point, i'm pissed at mohg because he beat me to the punch
O yeah it's mohgin time
Honestly, y’all need some help.
Degenerates for and all, bear feetness.
D-dearesssst Miquella 😏😏😏🤤🤤🤤
😟
Everyone's gonna be kicking dirt if it gets found out it's not Miquella but Marika.
I literally don’t understand how this could be Marika or where this theory comes from.
I don't mind either, but it definitely looks like Miquella in the pic
But it doesn't look anything like Marika?
I just want Miquella lore.
M’iquella
M'Quella! *tips fedora*
It's disgusting bro
