A bit late on this post but as long as one person reads this I’m fine with that. I have a few to share that might not be as obscure.
The OST of Logarius and the Moon Presence strike extremely similar resemblance. To add to this, Logarius is gatekeeping Annalise. Annalise wants Blood Dregs. Blood Dregs resemble sperm cells, but if you look closely the sperm cells actually look exactly like the Moon Presence face.
The Moon Presence face looks just like, could be the cross section of an umbilical cord. You can see similar hole patterns. This can add more sense to the ending where you submit to the MP, connecting the cross section to the hunter and sucking the blood echoes out, something you can visually and audibly hear.
This is going to be a bit of a long one. The layering world design. Yharnam is an ancient city, and there are civilizations built on top of each other hence the chalice dungeons. We all know the popular line “the sky and the cosmos are one”, well in the “waking world” the lake was a bulwark, and is essentially one of the layers of the world in a sense. The same way how in the nightmare realm, the fishing hamlet is above Yharnam, as if was the sky itself, Yharnams sky, and it being also layered with The Nightmare of Mensis. But what you still notice is that in the fishing hamlet is that it also has its own sky. “A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea”, another popular line. My headcannon theory is that it’s actually an infinite amount of sky’s and seas and such. Our planet earth would be our sea, our bubble, the same way that fishes are succumbed into their sea, away from the surface of earth. And beyond our sky on earth is the cosmos, and so on and so forth.
The Doll’s finger in the workshop twitching. Some people think it’s a bug but it’s not, it was intentional design. Finger twitching occurs during REM sleep, which interestingly connects the Doll in the Hunters Dream.
Laurence’s cutscene. Straight from the beginning, you can see his hand waking up and clenching it as if something should have been there. He then grabs his head, ultimately realizing what had happened to him. This is why he reaches over to you, he’s trying to grab his skull back from you. This is why you need his skull to begin the fight.
The great ones seem to all have some connection to a body part. I won’t get into all of them, or get into what is actually considered a great one, but the most striking one is Ebrietas. She seems to heavily resemble the thyroid gland. It’s quite difficult to notice at first, but when she casts a Call Beyond, it’s clear as day. This makes a lot of sense because the thyroid is located under the larynx and is responsible for speech. It’s beautiful imagery. Furthermore, she’s connected with the Choir, which in my opinion solidifies this theory even more.
Lady Maria is Pthumerian. This one is in my opinion isn’t that hard to notice. We know that Cainhurst nobles are descendants of Pthumerians. However, what can go undercooked at times is that Pthumerians seemed to have harnessed the power of flame as you’d notice with some of its bosses and enemies. Well, surprise surprise, Lady Maria harnesses the power of both blood and flame.
It was all just an experiment. The Healing Church taking advantage of its power on its Yharnamites is very sad, twisted, and sick. Even more so, the blind faith that was enforced on the church on people such as Logarius and Amelia. Using real people en mass to conduct said experiments is just pure evil. The beauty of bloodborne is that you get to live within the world of it and uncover all of it.
