mohgwyn dynasty themes
going back to my mohg posting era, to say i've thought about the whole symbolism behind it
First of all, as you already know Mohg was shunned from birth. Mohg used his own acursed blood as both a weapon and he also embraced it. The formless mother came to him. Mohg never had a mother. Not a present one anyway. There's this theme of neglect behind it. The formless mother is absent, Mohg seems to be absent to his own followers, and even Miquella seemed to be absent.
Varre says that the two fingers hold no "love" for the tarnished, despite them bringing the tarnished into existence. I think theres a vague undertone of Mohg wanting a family of his own and living that through the dynasty. He didn't create the tarnished, but he takes them in and gives them blood powers, and holds more "love" for them than the two fingers according to Varre.
Now that we know Mohg was bewitched, and how bewitchment works, we know that it only makes the victim love [Miquella]. Mohg's love seems to be very present-- but very obsessive. He's obsessed with this idea, the concept he can have his own family and be loved despite his past, so he embraces his hornsent nature. He grows free wings in his second phase.
He gives Okina who nearly kills him a blood katana, because she is worthy to survive. Like Mohg once did.
There is this poetic undertone to all the suffering in Mohgwyn dynasty and it's followers, that no matter how much you bleed, you can be loved. By Mohg, lord of blood.
okay my brain hurts dies
Mohg, Lord of Extra
Summer shenanigans
Okay but why mohg and Radahn I hear you all asking, I get it, that seems odd to me too until I realized, they are the ONLY demigods that don’t reject and remove a single part of themselves. The only ones that are “whole”. Rykard becomes snake man. Ranni rids herself of her body. Godwyn loses his soul. Malenia gives up her memories to the scarlet rot. Morgott not only shaves his horns but he also purges himself of his entire curse at the end of the fight. Let’s go beyond siblings. Godfrey gives up his savagery. What HASNT Marika given up. Rennala has lost her faculties to heart break and more. Godrick grafts. Messmer has a bajillion seals on his body. Melina’s body has been burned away at some point leaving her just a spirit.
There is a huge significance to the fact that Miquella has taken the only two demigods who gave up nothing… and forced them to lose a part of themselves. Mohg lost his soul and Radahn lost his body (and his horse 😭). It’s fascinating how they both gave up nothing. Mohg let his horns take his eye out and just left the golden order without any real retaliation (yet, his dynasty was still growing ofc, there’s something to be said for growing one’s forces after all). He really seemed to just accept a lot happening to and around him and then firming it. He’s got shit to do. A cult to run. Blood to, idk, bathe in or whatever. The bloodflame is fascinating though. More on that in a moment. Radahn embraces his heritage just as much as Mohg embraces his own. He embraces the red hair AND he embraces the lion. He doesn’t even give up Leonard! That’s actually story significant symbolism! And the symbolism I think is that Miquella wanted demigods who would not reject. If they didn’t reject any part of themselves, then they would truly embody compassion.
What got me thinking about this was Morgott actually and I was sitting here wondering, what is the significance of him vomiting during the bossfight? Like what was the decision there from a director perspective, why isn’t her just doing a big explosion of Omen Bairns or something and then it occurred to me that this is WHY he’s completely purged of his curse at the end of the fight. Morgott is blessed in his final moments after giving his entire life to the Erdtree by having his curse that stains the very throne he sits on purged from his body and he doesn’t even realize it. “Thy part in such shame shall not be forgiven!” And there is so much omen curse in his body, you don’t understand. He has more omen blood on his hands than anyone else alive. He has to vomit GEYSERS of it out. We are the agent of his mother and we push him to the breaking point where at last he can be purged of this critical mass of omen curse. Morgott’s story is defined by FEELING alone, but in truth, he is loved by the crucible of life, by the Erdtree, by his father, even by his mother, misguided as she was. His final words ache so much in my chest. “We are all forsaken” and “Thy deeds shall be met with failure just as I” NO MORGOTT YOU SUCCEEDED. THE ERDTREE EMBRACED YOU, YOURE FREE OF YOUR CURSE NOW. ITS OKAY, ITS ALL GONNA BE OKAY, YOU MADE IT.
I sit and wonder how many times he polished the thrones himself on hands and knees, worried that some of his curse may have fallen upon them. I wonder if he felt the curse leaving his body and felt disgust because he thought he deserved to suffer longer.

Mother knows best!”

He has forsaken Lord Mohg's soul. He desires only his empty shell. It beggars belief, but… I'm afraid Tender Miquella fails to grasp the humiliation implied by this act.
One thing is certain. My dear lord deserved better.
THEYRE SO ITTY BITTY 😭😭/vvvpos
