STEAL HIS LOOK !!!!!!!
Overview
This is a humorous parody meme using the popular 'Steal His Look' fashion breakdown format, featuring Dragon Slayer Ornstein, a famous boss character from the Dark Souls video game series. On the left side, Ornstein is depicted standing in his full iconic spiky golden armor while holding his spear. On the right, his outfit is broken into individual listed pieces with associated costs: Ornstein's helmet, chest armor, gauntlets, and leg armor each cost 20,000 Souls (the primary in-game currency of the Dark Souls franchise). The joke punchline comes with the final two pieces: a black lace bra and matching panties priced at $50 total, crudely and absurdly implying that the imposing knight character wears lacy lingerie under his heavy suit of armor. As a humorous answer to the titular question: affording the armor requires a lot of in-game grinding for Souls, while the lingerie is very cheap for most people, making the full look theoretically affordable for most players who have progressed far enough in Dark Souls.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as noted in the provided source metadata. It is a derivative work that remixes two widely recognized cultural elements: the viral 'Steal His Look' meme format that typically breaks down celebrity public outfits with their retail costs, and official character assets and lore from the Dark Souls video game series. Absurdist jokes that undercut the serious, imposing tone of Soulsborne boss characters are extremely common in online gaming meme communities.
