hieee I'm hoarah-babylon, you can call me bab ig (they/them). I like fromsoft games, speculating about lore, reposting art, discussing stories/lore with others, posting things from my playthroughs, obsessing about accents, shitposting, be bisexual eat hot chip and lie. I make art now and then. come along for the ride if u like (mdni) feel free to add your thoughts to any of my speculation posts, I like hearing other perspectives. for now it's pretty fromsoft-focused, but I'm open to whatever this blog evolves into. I like other games too shrug

My Elden Ring accent spreadsheet ⥋ I figured out every characters accent and gave some context non-British people might have missed, and spoke about the language they use a bit. Because I can.

Happy 1 year anniversary Nightreign✨!!!

Made many fun memories playing with friends🫶!

[hoarah-babylon]

it really warms my heart that people are still finding my ER accent spreadsheet and finding it useful a year and a half on from when I first posted it, genuinely it's nice that something I made has been/is a useful resource for others. I remember when I made it I was just having fun with it and found it interesting but really thought it would mainly just be for myself, I shared it on the off chance it would be useful to someone, even if it was just a few people who also find that kind of thing interesting lol. So it's really surpassed my expectations! I hope it continues to be useful for people !

side note but for a while I've been thinking about making a video going over my findings and sharing my thoughts, I've drafted scripts here and there but never stuck with it. Maybe there isn't much of an audience for it lol but I kinda just think it would be fun to do. I just always struggle with figuring out how to structure it. I'm thinking of going back to uni later this year, so if I'm gonna do it at all it'd most likely need to be before the end of summer. So we'll see I guess !

been playing bloodborne my beloved again if anyone cares

[amiya-shirou]

what a lot of people don't realize is that you can't actually be born in real life. the concepts of pregnancy, birth and motherhood are a scam made up by Fromsoftware in 2015 to sell more copies of Bloodborne

[hoarah-babylon]

there's been so many ER movie leaks, it has to be intentional because there's no way lol

albinauric mumbling

as has been pointed out by a number of users, the albinauric enemies are mumbling something as sound effects, rather than voices lines. this makes understanding them hard because it means their voice tracks are mixed with the ambient sound and cannot be isolated from the audio mixer. this video is a good resource to show the audio tracks extracted from the game such that they are isolated

however it is slightly incomplete, as it doesn't mention that only certain lines are used, plus it misses one, possibly because it's on a separate audio file that wasn't noticed at the time of the posting (it is acknowledged in the comments)

the lines they use are these

"We speak to those who forsake us" "We speak to those who forsake us, to this world..." "Punish every living thing" "Punish every living..." "O stars, O night, O fate" "O stars, O night, O..." + an unintelligible one, possibly "I pray that she will forgive me"

the transcript of the audio files presented in the video are as such, in strikethrough the ones that aren't used

"O stars, O night, O fate." "Punish them all." "Punish the world, entire." "We speak to those who forsake us, to this world that shuns our kind." "Punish every living thing…" "Punish every living thing… (slurred)"

the lines don't change between enemy variants, or location, which means the standard albinaurics near the well in albinauric village, and the sorcerer variants in caria manor, all have the same lines

[hoarah-babylon]

Was running around Caria Manor earlier and came across something I don't think I've ever noticed before - in one of the rooms there's an albinauric muttering to himself. This is what I can make out:

"O Stars, O Night, O..."

"We speak to those who forsake us... We wish for your forgiveness..."

It sounds like a prayer or mantra of some kind, he repeats these sentences over and over with no particular order to them. I’m sure someone’s noticed this and probably transcribed it before but I just thought it was neat!

[wraith-caller]

i tried finding this in the text dump but it wasnt there, so i went on youtube hoping someone had a clip. and they do, with a transcript!

it's kind of interesting they're praying to the stars. sorcerers in particular revile albinaurics as impure. so for the albinaurics to appeal to the stars for help, the very same thing the sorcerers are so fascinated by and see as the origins of life, makes me wonder how the two are so connected in spite of the hate between them.
