The concept behind the false son goes hard. A mortal made idol to a dead god given life and mind by two others respectively. A broken divinity without purpose. Designed to be a simulacrum of a dead holy warriors and instead coming out a misshapen angerufen mess.
ABSOLUTELY !!!
like, SOTS maybe isnt perfect, but its concepts are so amazing, and i think the false son was a really great way to expand on the lore in a plausible way and...

the more i look into him, its like. okay yes, the logbooks are a bit disappointing that they didnt explain a bit more, but also?
his dialogue and stuff... ive really done a lot of looking into it, and i've pieced together some quite interesting stuff about him
i really think FS is a very interesting character. great use of aurelionite. aureli was always one of the coolest "sidenote" lore pieces of ROR2, and like
god it makes so much SENSE that after their Saviour dies, the denizens of petrichor ... desperately crave the feeling of safety and security, of having a saviour again. but then... mithrix' followers still very much exist, and
the fuckin
imagine, imagine. imagine that you're created in the image of a saviour, given life by a being that believes itself to have been sealed for being too perfect. and yet...
despite being built to be a beacon of hope, you immediately lose the compassion you were built to hold.
i honestly kinda think that false son is up on the colossus statue just to try and like, isolate himself away from hurting anyone. because he WANTS to hurt things, but he also... prob has a very big internal conflict on the whole thing! he knows he was to be a protector, a bulwarks successor!
oh also, shoutouts to vultures being depicted as mithrix' followers a lot. i only recently really pieced together but like, it makes a lot of sense that the 2 creatures most represented as having some of their species be on mithrix' side... are the crafty ones. the smart ones. scavengers and alloy vultures. alloy vultures have innate senses that let them operate machinery EXTREMELY well. and mithrix' whole deal is DESIGN and like.... it makes a lotta sense that the crafty and clever vultures would be perhaps the one Vermin that mithrix can appreciate a bit, or see value in them anyways
and
yeah im kinda just rambling at this point. but anyways, he has some interesting death lines, and to me they definitely imply that he was trying to purify himself. "a gift out of reach" to me says that like. what he wanted was a life of freedom from dark influence. or perhaps just to give freedom to aureli
and when he dies in a run of purification via aureli? he says... he can hear... Himself. hes finally able to have the voice inside be Him, instead of... a fucked up version of himself
maybe the gift is aurelionites freedom. maybe its his own free will. maybe it is simply purity. maybe the gift was just kicking mithrix' butt! maybe it was something greater that we cant know
but considering his survivor vanish message? i think the gift hes referring to is ... his mere life!
also fun lil fact hopoo games referred internally to aureli as "goldboy" so congrats on aureli for her transition
i may make a followup post talking about more specific like. false son or mithrix follower related stuff but. yea i just wanted to get this out there, some ramblings.
Acacia definitely needs falling leaf particles, they make sooo much leaflitter all year long irl since their leaflets are super tiny and dense and they shed them each individually. It's probably the single most appropriate tree to have them ngl
GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY *ALL* HAVE FALLING LEAF PARTICLES
EVEN AZALEA
IF IT HAS LEAVES IN THE NAME THEN ITS GOT LEAVES IN THE GAME
"Why I am not surprised to see your face here," Jake spoke to her with his arms over his chest. "What did you do this time?" He moves off the side so she could come in.
"Love a good blowjob, and I'm a sucker for when people bite me. As far as favorite positions go, I love being ridden doggy style."
My neck is a big weakpoint. And I melt under a good handjob. Favorite positions though, cowgirl? I don't know really, I've only had sex in three positions.
My sun is Aries, my moon is Capricorn, and my aesthetic may or may not be AISTHETIC. Ahahah, just kidding–I don’t know, I really never considered it? It’s probably really neatly coded MSPARP posts t b h. I’m such a nerd.

Shit. I befriend most people, although I tend to have quite a few friends who are Cancers. I guess it’s kinda also a mix between them and Gemini.
