Se oli tonnin golden rune

u/Sufficient-Big5798 17h ago

To be fair to him, he has a good amount of eyes too

u/IAmHoneyBoy 1d ago

He kinda gives me asmongold vibes, standing like that.

Ser Shideon Filthnir, the Mold-Growing

u/ilico_ili 1d ago

i mean hes a pest

u/Former_Instance_6592 1d ago

They're both huge fans of genocide so it makes sense

u/billydecay 1d ago

They probably both reek something fierce, too.

I say "probably" only because P. Giddy is wrapped up in his books and we can't infer whether he showers or not. Assmunchtoad is confirmed to stink real bad.

u/Klutzy_Anybody_1487 1d ago

it doesn't matter his gf is still hotter than whatever will move within 10 feet of your vicinity for the rest of your life

u/JohnathanKatz 1d ago

Simping for Roachgold, yikes on trikes my dude.

u/Klutzy_Anybody_1487 1d ago

I'm not simping for him. I'm stating facts.

u/JohnathanKatz 1d ago

As if his having a hot girlfriend makes up for his being a shitty human being? You're taking the piss lad.

u/isawbobsagetnaked 1d ago

Having money NEVER makes up for smelling like a dump truck full of dirty diapers soaked in garbage water! Never!

Not once in human history has a genuinely horrible or ugly, but exceedingly wealthy, person ever somehow landed an attractive significant other. Money just doesn’t do that for anyone, nope. s/

u/billydecay 1d ago

Facts but you don't even know who I am? Grass. Now.

u/urlocalwzrd 1d ago

Please try to have more self respect. You don’t need to defend someone who chooses to live like a cockroach.

u/billydecay 1d ago

I did not expect someone to white knight assmo so quickly and with such big emotions lol Does the streamer give out compliments and money or something?

u/urlocalwzrd 1d ago

Crazy work honestly. I didn’t know Asmongold had real fans. I can only assume he’s defending him so hard because they smell the same or something.

u/imaginary92 22h ago

That's literally it. It's the reason he's so popular. They recognise themselves in him so any insult to him is an insult to them. I'm not entirely sure it's a fully conscious reaction, but I'm 100% sure that's it.

u/urlocalwzrd 22h ago

Drop an insult on the ground and someone will pick it up and say it’s theirs or whatever they say lol

u/Scharmberg 17h ago

Especially when that person is rich and could not live like that. So crazy to me someone would choose that.

u/ilico_ili 1d ago

not just like one with them too

u/NuggetWarrior09 1d ago

Not much of a flex when you’re as disgusting as almondfold.

Let’s not forget, this is the guy who had such poor hygiene that he thought water tasted like rotting teeth… because his teeth were rotting.

His girl isn’t his girl, it’s his borderline prostitute. No girl would put up with the pathetic, nasty bullshit that goes with being with him if not for his money. And that’s ignoring all the stupid ass twitter echo chamber political takes he has, he’s politically inept and, naturally, a die hard conservative.

u/tnweevnetsy 1d ago

What the hell? Who is this

u/SpindleDiccJackson 1d ago

He's not gonna fuck you, probably. And if he does, you're gonna catch something.

u/PhiCloud 12h ago

Imagine bragging about how hot someone else's girlfriend is. Asmonchuds are beyond saving.

u/ilico_ili 1d ago

JESUS the downvotes i love that we as a community can be united in hating the roach king

u/Former_Instance_6592 23h ago

Idk how she doesn't puke everytime she kisses him. Who knows, maybe she does

u/KeepOnKeepingOn00 19h ago

Defending Assmold for free.99 LMFAOOOOO

u/Neckrongonekrypton 23h ago

You’ve never gotten a good lookin one have you?

u/funny_haha_account 1d ago

Being rich and famous will do that

u/PhiCloud 12h ago

The nothing-knowing

u/lucky_harms458 21h ago

All that knowledge and he still tries to drink an empty flask

u/Ok_Violinist_9820 🩸Mogh Is Innocent🩸 20h ago

Reflex

u/Robaattousai 16h ago

Knowledge, wisdom, and intelligence are not exclusive.

u/Cincy_Viking 1d ago

This game is a master class in character design.

u/TrumpFucksKids_ 1d ago

It took me like 200+ hours to realize he’s not sitting in a chair in that room at the Roundtable he’s just hunched over a table like a freak

u/imaginary92 21h ago

He's... not sitting?

...what

u/TrumpFucksKids_ 18h ago

Nah just getting his scoliosis on

u/imaginary92 17h ago

Backpainmaxxing

u/Grouchy_Spot_6640 16h ago

literally chairs right next to him but still refuses to move them to sit in any of them, is he stupid.

u/Scharmberg 17h ago

Really? I’ll need to look again.

u/Mammoth1349 1d ago

Can’t unsee it now thanks to you

u/urlocalwzrd 1d ago

They call it a beard because he be eared

u/HeadHunter9865 1d ago

His chest plate is also an eye, with the upper and lower bits forming an eye

u/honeecumb 23h ago

Possibly obvious, but I also just noticed that his helm has a circlet/crown of eyes on it.

u/Crash4654 20h ago

Every jointed piece is an eye, pretty clever actually

u/Roraxn 15h ago

There are eyes all over him. Crown, chest, neck, stomach, shins, biceps. And then the joints of the wrists, knees, and stomach are eyes.

Finally the entire hem of his cloak is eyes.

u/idk_ausername864f Mild Mohg Enjoyer 1d ago

Finally someone who sees this for how fucked up and weird it is... Gideon, my man, you are WEIRD

u/Robaattousai 16h ago

Buried with ears and a box of eyes.

u/MBiddy828 10h ago

Also, HE IS THE ONE doing the backstory intro and just goes all out on his own hype. “Other people blah blah blah and me THE ALL KNOWING”

u/Tem-productions PC not gud enough 7h ago

He is?

u/Phattybluntz 4h ago

I don't think so. Narrator is voiced by Jimmy Livingston, and Gideon is voiced by Joe McGann.

u/Ok-Dependent3584 1d ago

Cus he sees and hears everything

u/MrNobody_0 1d ago

Not everything.

u/ImmaculatePizza 19h ago

He didn't see this coming (Great Stars with Lion's Claw)

u/TheUnDoctor 1d ago

All-seeing, All-hearing

u/arash__1383 20h ago

The All Knowing!

u/CoffeeSorcerer69 1d ago

Get a real good lock at him in the the openning cinematic.

u/sincubus33 1d ago

I hate you for pointing this out to me

u/_richard_pictures_ 1d ago

That all-hearing brute

u/triel20 FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR 20h ago

Only now did I realize this is what Latenna meant when she called him “the all hearing brute” I thought she was talking about Ensha since Gideon is the all knowing.

Gideon was personally there to interrogate Latenna and her village. She calls him all hearing because of his outfit. I wonder then if Gideon is the one that bloodhound knight serves that guards her location.

u/SpindleDiccJackson 1d ago

That's an eary design choice

u/OcWitch 22h ago

took way too long to think those are flowers. kinda of prefer that way actually

u/ArkaneSpirit 8h ago

Yup, he's all ears and wisedom, but still dumb enough to challenge the Tarnished who cleared all of the demidog possible and found everything he was looking for.

u/Wesgizmo365 1d ago

How I sleep knowing

u/MrNobody_0 1d ago

Yeah, everything about Gideon is disgusting, right down to his armour.

u/ExedbySnuSnu 1d ago

And I feel stupid believing he was a badass, because when you see all the ears in his coffin during the opening you think back to Souls games where ears were a pvp/covenant reward

u/ComprehensiveTap4353 23h ago

His blacksmith and tailor had to have hated the hell out of him with those incredibly intricate details. It's fantastic from a story or lore standpoint. Hell I didn't even know any of this before today that was his design. It looks great actually. Just pointing out how much effort and work had to probably go into the beard alone.

u/Ok_Violinist_9820 🩸Mogh Is Innocent🩸 20h ago

I love this armors design, my favorite in the whole game

u/Upper-County3290 20h ago

Yeah when I first saw his armor at a glance I was like yeah gotta have that. But when you really look at it. It’s simply the ugliest set in the game bar none and that’s saying something because there are a lot of ugly sets in this game. Wish they had gone another route with his whole deal. Also the reason I don’t really wear the eye surcoat

u/noldenath 20h ago

If he spent more time getting runes and less time working on his armor he’d be cooler

u/Many-Personality-530 20h ago

All knowing, his armor is the primary organs for information acquisition

u/teacherthelon 19h ago

Plump sort

u/Greektrii 15h ago

It’s how he knows we’ll come.

u/viznac 14h ago

Fuck that guy

u/Within_a_Dream 13h ago

Sir Gideon offnEAR

u/ReedsAndSerpents Aspiring Alabaster Lord/Current Darkmoon Simp 12h ago

OP when he actually looks at something: 

u/Entgegnerz 12h ago

He sees and hears all

u/Dank-Paladin 11h ago

Tf going on with his legs why does it look so trippy

u/RacoonWithBenefits 8h ago

in the intro where he's introduced, he is lying in a bunch of ears too

instead of packing peanuts

u/ShibitoYakaze123 4h ago

he do be hearin

u/hornwalker 3h ago

The eye on his chest is reminiscent of the Fel God in the Fire Giant’s chest, and the other eyes kind of remind me of death blight.

u/ilico_ili 1d ago

all hearing sure but if he truly knows is another question

u/billydecay 1d ago

And the dad bod

u/Thefeno 1d ago

Wait what

u/DaimonHans 1d ago

That's probably why you aren't the All-Knowing.

u/Quirinus84 1d ago

He's all ears

u/Molkwi 1d ago

B-ear-d

Miyazaki loves puns

u/Vandermere 1d ago

Sir Gideon OfEar

u/Resident-of-Pluto 1d ago

One could say he's got eyes and ears everywhere

u/somewriteword 23h ago

It's the only thing that makes his armor not S tier for me. I'm so sad they "ruined" (to me!!! its okay if you like it) it with his motif even if it's fitting
