Elden Ring: The Trans-figuration of Ranni the Witch
Channel: euphyelsie
Date: 2024-03-12

in Witch i elaborate on and extrapolate from my feelings on transgender embodiment relative to Lady Ranni's narrative and lore in Elden Ring.

this is a very niche video but because a lot of it is so personal to me, i spent an incredible amount of time on production and editing for it relative to the other simpler ones. hopefully that comes through, and i'll at least be able to use the things i've learned for the more straightforward future things. 

i'm pretty happy with the visuals for a lot this one, but sorry if the audio is a little rough, i had to do so many takes for each section it's not even funny and eventually i just used the least-bad ones to get through it all and finally move on to some other stuff.

there are no heavy trigger warnings for this video, although blood does appear later on (which you will have already seen if you've finished Ranni's questline).

even if you're not trans, if you're into critical analysis of any kind you may find this interesting, or at least i'd hope!

i don't have much else to say, so yeah, watch this if the concept sounds at all interesting to you and let me know your thoughts afterwards if you have any.
