Aight, guys, Tumblr support don't respond to my mails about shadowban, so I decided to make a new account. Feel free to follow me here, I'll be reposting my old artwork soon (also I already posted a new one!):

(I have more symbols here than in Twitter, so I'll tell more about this enigmatic Tarnished in my artworks)

I've always had this sort of inner barrier with accepting the seriousness of the Soulsborne combat system: it's uncanny when in response to a boss's complex moveset and long combo the player can only offer them a roll, a defence tool. Sekiro escaped this fate due to its combat system that tied the player's "attack" and "defense" options very tight together. Yet June 2024 happens, and the Shadow of the Erdtree is released. And as much as I (and the majority of ER community) howled at skibidi fragments instead of a real leveling system, or sometimes bullshit bosses, or empty areas, or..... ok, jokes aside. I did find something that made me give Elden Ring a second chance. It was ONE weapon that has become "love at first sight" – Backhand blade with it's ash of war "Blind Spot". That missing element of "defense as attack" HAVE FINALLY formed into a whole picture for me. I can finally use my attack as an evasion. I can finally offer the boss my participation in the dance.

And so the vision of my Tarnished, a raubritter with a strong emphasis on dexterity, formed in my head. But not in some numbers in stats, but in actual gameplay.

Finally some piece of lore:

Before losing his grace Jugoh was a páge in the care of a Limgrave nobleman in Godfrey's army. After being banished from the Lands Between he met his death in foreign lands rather quickly.

Upon his return to Marika's call he makes attempts to find his master, but in the end joins the Round Table and its hunt for demigods. A lot of history of the Lands Between former páge just didn't get to see, so the average person would consider him a relic of the past (and for good reason: Jugoh is "older" than most Marika's children). It seems that only the boy's golden heart and "kind and round" face keeps him from the open hostility with which the Tarnished are usually treated.

Unusually persistence and his "dance on scimitars" gained Jugoh a small degree of fame among the Round Table, but never his reputation overtakes him.

P.S.: I now know that I'm shadowbanned and I want to thank @katyspersonal for telling me about it! I am still trying to reach for Tumblr's support and hope that it won't take me months to get from this situation where I was boiling for 3 years.... Kudos to all who are still with me! I am glad you still watch my artworks 🥹🫶
