Visceral Femininity: A Bloodborne Video Essay

Follow
Honey Bat

"So what's the new video about, Honey?" "Yer mam."

Bloodborne is a very...wet game. It's bloody and messy and goopy and I love it a lot, but I don't often see people talking about the more feminine aspects of its horror (pregnancy, childbirth etc) that it's absolutely bursting with (no pun intended). Content warnings are there for a reason. Some people are probably really not gonna like this and that's cool, go watch a video more to your taste, but I had fun and I hope you do as well ^.^

Terfs and gender critical folks are not welcome here. A person’s existence is not debatable.

CW: blood, violence, infanticide, menstruation, religion/heresy, pregnancy/unwanted pregnancy, forced caesarean, medical abuse, human experimentation, intoxication, Eldritch/cosmic horror, body horror, fantasy plagues, suicide

Quote for Part 2/Lunar Cycles is from Mabel, a horror podcast about missed connections, family secrets and the blurring between myth and reality and love. I love it to pieces, highly recommended.

Quote for Part 4/Gods is from the audiobook of Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies"

Cannot place the groany sound before the Bloodborne OST kicks in? I lost the project files for this along with my harddrive but it SOUNDS like a similar audio quality to the Little Nightmares OST but I can’t place it with only 2 seconds, sorry! (It’s actually driving me nuts so if someone can place it pls tell me, also if I put time stamps it tries to re chapter the video, thanks youtube)
