and its weakness, magical bubbles
That’s… definitely a sentence of some sort
As I remember it, I think it's Zullie also points out that He has five, and actually 3 of the total 5 were "female" heads, and 2 were "male" heads.
Yes, and that’s why I state he has physical trauma to his body. Part of the alchemical process is removing of bad parts to retain the whole.
I wish the fandom never learned this word, lol
"Im not saying 'Rebis'.. but Rebis."
No joke. The game has a complex and layers story that has some pretty substantial missing parts and the fandom's response is to go full on talking dog crazy about a single aspect of nonsense speculation.
i mean theres something to the alchemy ties with a rebis being a "divine hermaphrodite" and marika/radagon being a god that is both sexes and the symbol of a red king (radagon) and a white queen (marika). grrm loves the occult and esoteric and it makes sense that it would get written into the lore.
Sure. The problem is, I think people overcomplicate (or oversimplify?) the lore by trying to make absolutely everything in the game fit neatly into alchemical concepts, ignoring the simplest explanations provided by the game itself.
Radagon and Marika aren't at all unique in their "oneness," as we have two other characters whose entire narrative function is to provide cosmological explanations in hard text: the twins known as D. Like Radagon and Marika, they share a soul, yet possess two bodies with two wills. Are they a rebis? Not at all, as they are both male, and symbolized instead by gold and silver. The alchemical inspirations add some flavor, but they aren't essential for understanding the entirely made-up spiritual mechanics.
It's one thing to ponder these influences, but trying to apply it absolutely anywhere and everywhere—like with Placidusax here—feels plain reductive, and doesn't actually explain anything anyway.
In my memory, he had up to four heads.
5, in total, but three are gone.
yeah! as u said.
the three missing heads might have become entire dragons of their own. Greyoll being one Gransax another In the same way Greyoll seems to be splitting into lesser dragons
Yes, I’ve see that also hence the part where I mention trauma in the post.
Internal names are only really useful as supporting evidence, alongside evidence that can be found in-game. For example, Melina's model being called "maricaofdaughter" supports the in-game evidence that she is Marika's daughter, but it wouldn't be good evidence on its own. Nothing in the game supports Placi's heads being different genders, so it doesn't appear to be something fromsoft wanted us to deduce about him. It could be an earlier idea that was scrapped, or just a convenient way to distinguish between the heads for the animators.
Post a theory and then post a counter-argument thread soon after. I wonder how many of us do this (Im guilty).
Learning takes time I guess
Isn’t placidusax compared to elden lord though not the god I feel like the fact that Marika is god she was able to be 2 beings at the same time
So when I say he’s a rebis I don’t mean that necessarily also makes him a god like Marika. But the fact that one head (or half of him) is a male head and the other is female, plays into the inspiration of a Rebis. But remember Radagon is also part of Marika and is a lord and is not a god.
Nothing says outright it’s male and female; the rigs are just named differently. Zullie even said that it’s iffy on being actual lore or dev convenience (remember, they’d be animating both heads, so being named distinctly as such helps them). But nothing in-game tells us this, so there’s hardly anything concrete
However, Zullie also says they don’t know if it’s lore related OR convenience on the dev’s end. When it comes to the data stuff, shouldn’t immediately assume it’s lore because, if you look at some data names, you can see not everything is lore (some are oddly named or just funny names). So, while it’s an interesting theory, shouldn’t come swinging out the gate by stating it as fact like you did when nothing else supports it (besides the very iffy rig naming)
But it's FromSoftware so it's probably a Land Octopus emboldened by the Flame of the Crucible. The tentacles wrapped around it's body just grew heads.
Marika is not Rebis, I don't understand who came up with this at all. Miyazaki, in an interview with the guidebook: volum 2, said that the duality of the soul is peculiar ONLY to empyreans. That's why they're special.
And this duality of the soul manifests itself in different ways. For example, Marika literally disconnected half of her soul from herself, giving birth to Radagon (we know this from Marika's quote voiced by Melina, where she tells Radagon that he has not yet become her and has not become a god). We don't have a single piece of information that Placi was an empyrean.
Let me rephrase: she is based on a rebis. Her and Radagon are not rebis’ in game, but their concept is based on a Rebis.
Then say she based on a rebis in the title.
That basically is what a rebis is. Opposite qualities united after separation. A being with both male and female traits.
If your just thinking literally than I mean they aren’t depicted as a two headed person but Marika and Radagon are clearly intended to represent this concept.
I think placidusax is just a Gemini.
