I Just Think Hes Neat

Morgott blog because I like him. A normal amount.

Elden ring/Fromsoft game Tumblr is hilarious because you guys talk the same way that the majority of tumblr talks about hot anime twinks but the blorbo in question is Morgott the Fell Omen

thinking about the way morgott has all these interesting titles, maybe the most out of the demigods - the veiled monarch, the grace-given lord, lord of leyndell, etc. - culminating in our final confrontation with him at the elden throne, where he claims his most impressive title yet, calling himself “king morgott, last of all kings”

and then his hp bar reads “morgott the omen king”

it’s the closest the game’s ui has ever come to being the narrator from arrested development

[chopsromano]

morgott in general is such a good character though

the order shuns him and he responds by loving that order in degrees proportional to his own self-hatred. he wields his status as outsider to fill a necessary but distasteful societal role (killing would-be lord contenders) without ever embracing that role, to the point where he takes on a different name to carry it out

he defends the capital and takes on the ultimate honor of lord of leyndell, not because he thinks he deserves it, but because he feels that all his siblings have betrayed their birthright, and so their duty falls to him, even though his very blood disgraces the throne he guards. despite all this, he tries to enter the erdtree and become lord. “he loved not in return, for he was never loved, but love it he did” is top 10 heartbreaking lines in the game.

and, most importantly, the guy is SUCH a dick

[chopsromano]

also important to note that while he’s doing all that, mohg is living his best life making friends and doing disney villain shit, which is such a real portrayal of the dichotomy between siblings

In nightreign the night is triggered by the shattering war, which probably means that the Morgott we fight in nightreign is considerably younger and much angrier than he is during elden ring

Commission. Morgott getting his floof taken care of. He can only try to pretend he doesn't like all the attention and how long it takes...

[retquits]

“i can fix him” “i can make him worse” i can imagine him in little scenarios every night as i’m falling asleep

wait i just found old doodles I forgot to post here

Behold, I've been meaning to have a go at drawing Morgott's wings properly so here are some loose drawings. Much thanks to Tarnussy's post here which was very helpful.

For those unaware Morgott does in fact have wings, as shown on his model rigging, but they're invisible likely because of clipping issues. Much as I like (and have drawn) teeny tiny chicken wings at the base of his tail, they're more like medium chicken wings that have been accidentally tumble-dried.

Are there certain places he can’t feel?

I was talking before about the knuckles on Morgott’s model. How big and knotted they look, from what I assume are callouses. Can only assume how he’s earned them. I figure they’re on the inside of his palms, too.

He grew up in the literal gutter, scrounging and suffering. Are there certain sensations he can’t feel anymore? Like if he doesn’t flinch in the slightest from scratching his knuckles on steel and stone, he has to have very little feeling in his feet, too. Where else? His knees look thickened, as well?

In contrast, where lies his ‘underbelly’? Where CAN he feel, the slightest drag of the fingernail… where does the heat burn right through him 🤔

And can it drive him mad,

if the touch is very kind?

[diamondwerewolf]

What about the look of the eye?

i imagine, a gaze full of animosity is easier to deal with. someone witnessing him with disgust, contempt, fear, maybe even twisted opportunity, that's all much more familiar. he can gnash his teeth, raise his weapon, and fight like he always has. that's gotta be his first and second nature by now. But to be looked at with a certain excitement, or -- desire? that isn't business, or the cold satiation of urges. Genuine desire, like you'd missed him, or wanted to be closer, or gave a damn about what happened to him that day, and tomorrow, and the day after that. Would he know how to deal with it?

would someone so stalwart become awkward or unsure? Confused? 'what could there possibly be here to desire.'

kill him with a kiss, and then loot his heart lol

i want to know, what would happen if he felt reciprocation for the first time in his wretched life <3
