Malenia's fight is my favourite in the game. People have described it as a kind of dance, and I think that comes from how badly she punishes greed (at least in phase 1). Her waterfowl dance is surviveable as long as you're not the middle of an attack animation when she starts it.

The moment she goes up in the air, you start running. If she misses her first two omnislashes, you can usually roll through the last two. If you're caught by the first or second, though, you're usually dead, unless you're especially tanky.

I so rarely survive however, because I'm too busy trying to press the advantage of knocking her down or trying to stagger her.

I once put taker's blood onto the godskin stitcher, which is 5 fast strikes one after the other, which heal you with each strike. It can stunlock Malenia too, and she can't move while you strike her over and over -- unless she starts her waterfowl dance.

That means you're locked halfway through an animation of poking the air while death hangs above. Killed me every time.

The fight favors attacks that let you move out of the animation as soon as possible -- which is why so many people use jump attacks with two katanas on her, which ideally lets you run away from her/roll the moment you land the attack.

The fight reminds me so much of the Sephiroth fight in the first Kingdom Hearts.

That fight, too, was about a highly mobile, hard-hitting sword fighter with a lot of range, where you had to dodge and time your spacing and get in your hits and then get away.

Sephiroth also had a hit that basically one-shotted you if you weren't careful ("Sin Harvest!").

And that attack also had a counter -- equipping an ability that either let you escape the sin harvest through i-frames or let you get far enough away from him to heal yourself. (Sonic Blade does both)

Both boss fights reward careful timing, spacing and preparation, and punish over-confidence and aggression

Sometimes I feel like 99% of the Creeps content we love is fanmade

There's barely canon stuff now

Assuming there was canon stuff to begin with

Anyways wanna hear abt Willow

There was barely anything canon there other than LJ and Will live together, their landlord is an urban legend, their neighbor is an undead bounty hunter with a temper problem, Dr. Foreskin or whatever his name is was their employer at some point and owes LJ something, the three of em drink (idk about the Dr tho), LJ wears thigh highs, LJ did something awful so he's an eeby deeby in the underrealm, Will sleeps naked, Will does not wake up on time cuz he sets his alarm late for no reason, and a lot of tiny details like that. Anything big? No, not really. Nothing of importance was said, no big reveals, no main antagonist except for Isaac was shown and we didn't even know his goal, it sucked.

I prefer the fanon stuff because it makes more sense, it doesn't just leave you questioning why or how, it just tells you or gives you hints, and you'll have more content to enjoy.

Also yes, I wanna know more about Willow.

Meaning of the name Marcella: ‘Warlike’ ‘God of war’. Super cute nickname possibility Marcy.

Gospel names for girls.

I wanted to draw but didn't know what but I decided on drawing Lucille and I believe @chocorazon love child between Frankie and will. I believe her name is willow but I'm not sure. Sorry if they suck its been awhile since I've drawn on paper

CUERVO LOOK, IT'S DA BABS!!!!! DIMENSION BESTIES!!!!

They look so cute qvq thank you so much! I love seeing people draw my baby, she looks adorable in your style!

I think @chocorazon renamed Willow/Willowy to Claire, it's why some older posta featuring it has both names before I switched to only calling her Claire. I think I still tag both names lol-
