I think I promised one of you that this video would be done within a week, and then I just disappeared off of the face of the earth for like two months. Really sorry about that, not one of my proudest personal traits lol
Thank you all sincerely for being patient with me. I really want to get a youtube schedule up and running but it might take some more time before I have that fully under control. Thanks for still sticking around though!
You're all awesome :)

Fiddlesticks lore and TL;DR version in case you didn’t understand the quotes
Fiddlesticks is very old, possibly older or the same age as Aurelion Sol. It’s said that Fiddlesticks was made during the “first scream of creation” and is described as a “demon before demons were known.” There’s a story about a young Mage in a tower by the sea that was messing around with dark magics, it’s said that he summoned something into the world that was older than history and was darker than the night and just like that the tower, the thing and the mage were lost to time. It’s not known for sure whether Fiddlesticks got to Runeterra through the mage in the tower or some other way but cultures around Runeterra have different ways of seeing Fiddlesticks. In Freljord, Fiddlesticks is a monster that raises itself from the ice made of helmets, bucklers, furs and wood. In Bilgewater, Fiddlesticks is only referred to as something that’s alone on an island that no one has come back from. In Targon there is a story about a child of twilight (Zoe) who “stole the only joy from a ragged, whispering horror.” this one can be explained, demons are a strange thing, we don’t know how the other demons got into the Physical Realm from the Spirit Realm but we can take Evelynn as a guess for how all demons get into the world. Evelynn was once a tiny shapeless thing in the Physical Realm until the Rune Wars where it took a physical form to feed on agony, the “ragged, whispering horror” could possibly be an example of that. In Noxus the veterans tell a story about farmhand who was blamed for a famine and fed to the crows (this is a reference to Fiddlesticks’ old lore). In Demacia, recently at least, they just blame the mages. In the new demonology tree we can also see that Fear is on top with others being below spreading into other branches of emotions, because that’s what demons do, they feed on human emotions. We can see Fear on top of the picture and two other main branches next to it that are unknown as of yet (link to demonology picture below). Of course Fiddlesticks was purely imagination… Until recently with the Demacian civil war with mages, something has awaken. It’s said that Fiddlesticks is such a dark being that it defies most of magical knowledge and that even the animals fear it. In the farming lands of Demacia however another story has resurfaced, that Fiddlesticks is an evil with no form, thoughts, or understanding of Runeterra. It is terror manifest of all things living and it hungers for fear. it is not just a fable, Fiddlesticks is real.
*TL;DR:* Fiddlesticks was born in the “first scream of creation” and is a “demon before demons were known.” Every country has a story about Fiddlesticks. Fiddlesticks defies most magical knowledge of the world and even animals fear it. Fiddlesticks is real and is no longer debated about being just a story in the fanbase anymore.
fun facts (lots of them today, I did some extra research this time)
1. The “Child of Twilight” in the Targonian story of Fiddlesticks is Zoe and that story might actually be canon. The reason it might be canon is because someone who worked for Riot confirmed that Zoe has stolen a key from another champion and Fiddlesticks has keys around his neck.
2. Fiddlesticks is trying to learn how humans sound so he can trick them easier, that’s why he has animal sounds in his voice lines.
3. The most likely theory of how Fiddlesticks got his name is from his first victim’s last words Fiddlesticks. For some context the word “Fiddlesticks” was basically an old timey way of saying ‘oh s**t.’
4. We finally got a reveal of what Swain’s knowledge demon is named, or at least a likely guess, his name is Raum (pronunciation: rah-oom), we know this because in his interactions Fiddlesticks calls the demons by their names, like for example when he sees Nocturne he simply just says “Nocturne” the same is with all other demons, I don’t think it’s been confirmed yet on second thought, but it’s a likely guess.
5. Fiddlesticks has a line saying “Fiddlesticks, end of men, Fiddlesticks, first of ten!” and there’s a theory that there are 9 others just like Fiddlesticks with Fiddlesticks obviously being the 1st, kind of like the Darkin, there are 5 left but we only know of 3 (4th Darkin is mentioned in lore only as “the sister” by Varus)
6. You may have noticed how I mention Evelynn and Fiddlesticks as “it” and that’s because demons don’t technically have a gender, Evelynn has had many different physical forms that it has shaped to feed off of humans, so the current Evelynn is only it’s physical form.
7. Fiddlesticks has voice lines about other champions too, like from Yone (Yasuo’s brother) when Yasuo killed him. He said “brother, how could you betray us?” and Fiddlesticks has that line and also has lines similar to those from other events in lore like from Annie he says “Annie, don’t let go” which was said by Annie’s step-sister. So either Fiddlesticks was there during those events or Riot is just trying to make the voice lines more interesting.
8. In Fiddlesticks’ short story “Voices” the man telling the story said “there’s a bottom to bad, and what happened in Goldweald (town the story takes place) broke right past it. Don’t believe me? Go for yourself, Goldweald ain’t there anymore” that gives you an idea of what Fiddlesticks can do.
If you want to know more about Fiddlesticks and maybe some theories, I recommend this video to you. It’s from a small channel named Necrit, and he explains it really well: czcams.com/video/AsL8XR4RUXs/video.html

Not related to Fiddlesticks' story but I want to mention that I'm updating older lore comments that I've written, because I've found myself cringing about how bad my grammar was. I'm updating them from the Aatrox video to the Sylas video and will probably have it done within a week. I also kept the old lore below the updated one.
Found it noiceee
The tower and the mage were Zilean, in zileans lore it's said he see's the end of runterra and he is trying to prevent it. Perhaps this has something to do with fiddlesticks
@@Alianated817 I never thought of that, it would make sense because Zilean is from Icathia and Icathia was by the sea, he paused time in a tower too so that'd explain the monster he summoned.
it was confirmed that the other demons we know arent part of the 10
Me: Fiddlesticks isn’t real he can’t hurt you

You genius

That's litterally 1:05
2:42 - 3:05
"Brother, what is that? What is that?”
"IT’S ALIVE!"
*running/panting noises*
"NO! Don’t leave me!"
"Brother! Open the door!"
"LET ME IN!"
Holy shit! That’s an insanely dark story in just a few words
I can picture Fiddlesticks bashing against the door during the last two lines you quoted there.
Meh
I'm pretty sure those were the voices of the people he haunted since he can mimic voices, and now that they're probably dead he's still repeating those quotes and what they last said
"IT'S IN THE HOUSE!"
Heard Like Fiddlesticks Is Tell A Story
The moment i realized his quotes was from his victims ...
Swiggty Swoggty, ur voice is now my property. Fun fact it's theorised that the mother and child singing in his champion theme video is actually fiddles singing with their stolen voices, which later devolve in to inchorent screaming when he finally decided to interrupt them during their little lullaby.
Except for wolf and lamb
"IT'S IN THE HOUSE!"
~some poor guy
Not all of them were his victims. Most were, but not all. It knows to mimic people very personal to its targets, even if there's no possible way it knew them, like with MF's mother or when he mimics Sylas.
"fiddlesticks is just a fable"
well...
“See it’s just a scare crow”
Famous last words
All of these are famous last words😬
*An ally has been slain*
@@YouAnd_OnlyYou loooooolllll xD
"Dont be scared it cant hurt you"
--The guy who were hurt.
I hear crows...
*Crow noises*
Get it, because he doesn't only scare the crows, it kills the crows and imitates them, that why the brother asked what is that, it was referring to the crow noises, even without any crows in the sky
"Lamb, tell me a story" "Gray man"
Fiddle both being aware of, and not being threatened by the embodiment of death is kinda scary
Well, Fiddlesticks is like Fear itself in a mangled vessel that it uses for a body... Fear itself cannot feel fear.
it's like Fiddlesticks is so powerful that even Death fears him.
fun fact: Fiddlesticks was there before Kindred exist
He has something to do with the "first breath of creation"does this mean his as old as orelion sol?
Necrit must solve this shit because if thats tha case,there is a pissibility that fiddlestick is a cosmic being,just like pennywise he is cosmic in some way,but he has a physical embodyment.
Btw.
Wait did he kill the lamb and the wolf?
I think two of the freakiest voicelines are ‘It’s in the house’ and ‘It won’t die’
"IT'S ALIVE!" Is another, It gives me chills
i think the line "See, it's just a scarecrow. Nothing to be afraid of." is really creepy, it's like he killed an adult in front of a child and probably killed the child too
@@leonardow.s.613 Ooh, that's a good one too
Don't be scared. It can't hurt you
yeah just imagine being OUTSIDE of the house or upstairs when shit breaks loose
you are literaly caught between a nightmare and another nightmare
The "its in the house" may be the worst of all. You just know you're dead.

Imagine this thing skittering around your house
You cannot possibly rank them. They are all equally beautifully horrifying.
I know what's worse
IT WONT DIE
~the poor fool who just pissed off fidd
@@djdjdjddjdjdjdjdjdj4915 The scariest part about "it won't die" means, someone was strong enough to actually fight off fiddle for a while before wearing out and perishing
“I’m always here! My little hero!”
What makes this freaky is..
He says that to Nunu.
He knows Nunus mother.
Maybe he could’ve been the cause.
fiddlesticks is easily the most horrific champion... and the most brutal in lore. and with neing a nunu main myself, this just fills me with pants-shitting fear and dread, and a sense of anger towards IT for implying that it did smth to nunu's mom
@@miguelrimando6378 must've suck for you when facing against a Roaming Fiddlesticks
No, theoretically fiddlesticks can see traumatic memories that caused you immense fear
@@iwatchstuffs7933 oh. Well thank you for that, then.
@@TonTonTheBard yea he can see the most traumatic Events of the other Champs and then Acts them with a fes words or sentences Fiddlesticks himself can't talk only "act" These phrases
Other Champs : tells philosophical voicelines
Fiddlestick : *Let me tell you a story*
No, it's more like this: *Let me show you the list of famous last words*
Ahri:: tell me a story. Fiddlesticks::tell me a story.
thats kindred tho
Rammus: Ok
Fiddlesticks: "other champs: tells philosophical voice lines"
"See? It's just a scarecrow. Nothing to be afraid of"
-Famous last words in horror movies.
I hear crows
*Crow noises*
Get it, cause fiddlesticks is imitating the crows he killed, and that's when the brothers notice, it isn't just a scarecrow
I love how even though he just mimicks his victims, he sounds like he has some form of emotion.
"Fiddlesticks is just a fable!? A story to scare children!? Once upon a time! Once upon a time!"
He sounded so indignant an angry and seemed to tell a story with the victims' vocals to show that no, he was not a story and that he was very real.
He sounds more mocking to me, like he thinks it's funny that the stupid mortals tell themselves such lies to make themselves feel better
@@rampantsarcasm2220 I don’t think he’s mocking them. The developers said that Fiddlesticks is a demon with “no brain to think”, which may imply that he doesn’t feel at all. The whole mimicry thing is probably due to him not understanding anything.
To put it short, Fiddlesticks is an unfeeling beast, and a pretty stupid one, too.
*And yet, it still manages to fulfill its purpose of spreading fear.*
@@ARSD219 so every technique of inducing dear is natural to fiddlesticks? This pure fear he induces is primal instinct? Then that is truly scary
@@ARSD219 There's a theory that Fiddlesticks has been "split" and the one we play as is just one of the fragments of the entire fear demon. That's why Zoe has one of its keys, because one of the previous aspects of Twilight sealed one fragment somewhere else to prevent him from reassembling into its full form. That's why he says "first of ten", because the thing inside the cage is instinctively searching for the other nine parts of itself to become the actual Primordial Demon, the Fear Demon, the one from which all others come from.
The theory goes as far as stating that the skins are the other fragments and its vessels spread across Runeterra in the different regions, with the "main" one being in Demacia and the rest all over the world. If true, I wonder how powerful the Fear demon must have been to require such measures.
@@ionga I think the other nine Primordial Demons aren't fragments of Fiddlesticks, but rather, their own entities.
Fiddle’s quotes is basically Famous last words: The champion
See? It's just a scarecrow. Nothing to be afraid of.
Fidd: It'S jUsT a ScAreCrOW. NoTHiNg tO Be afRaId Of.

These relatively short voice lines tell such a terrifying story.
You can imagine what actually imagine what sort of hell happened to them...
It's the end line of horror stories.
True horror stories
@@redacted144 he *IS* fear itself, after all.
Its unbelievable that the voiceactor actually did just this, the lines were barely edited...
Not really
@@zcedan3757 I know I watched, but I guess for me it's not really unbelievable since I have listened to Metal music and vocals there tend to do the same.
i think we should all be curious who the fuck kha'zix's voice actor is and how he does his voice
@@WizardDog829 kha'zix's voice actor is Dameon Clarke (the voice actor of Handsome Jack) he voiced Singed as well.
And the technique he used is rather similar to that of Dehaka from Starcraft/Heros of the storm (which I think is voice by him as well)
and is done by resonating the Uvula while breathing in and out.
I haven't watched the video yet but it sounds like he is mainly just talking while inhaling.
" Its in the house "
" Its alive "

Nope that's when you pull out a glider and jump off the roof hoping he can't fly

@@kota2157 it's all fun and games until he uses his crows and give chase
EVeRY boDY PAnIc
Ayo, that's when you 'opt out'. Always keep one for yourself...
I didn’t realise how terrifying his voice lines were. Many of them seem to be from people that he’s chased and killed, and how he just mimics it and overall, it’s just spine chilling. Riot did an amazing job
Alot of his interactions towards other heroes are him dwelling on their most traumatizing event, like the "hide, Sarah, hide", that's his interaction with Miss Fortune
But it's not riot it's the voice actor who did it, with 0 effects look it up
You'll be happy to know that the VA for Fiddlesticks won an award for his performance.
How he speaks he kills and he steals people's lasts words bruh he's a skinwalker
Yeah Fiddle can kill them super easy but feeds off their fear instead
Them: It won't die
My teamate who plays fiddle and has 0/50: *i just started*
And yet, he's still roaming around and getting back up until the game ends...
He's 10 times more terrifying when his voice all of a sudden loses the whistle and gets super deep and serious
They’re fittingly there worse memories and fears…”all of our fault” indeed, “POWDER.”
3:02 you can kinda still hear the brother’s voice. That’s terrifying!
I think it's kinda funny seeing as how there's Yuumi and Zoe who look like they just got lost on their way to Disney Studios and found their way into Riot but then Fiddlesticks and Pyke exist
Jsc1jake lol just wait for the nocturne rework
@@asamitakafan123 Gives me anxiety thinking about it.
Woah I didn't notice that before! As the final "N" trails off you can hear it become a more human voice. It sounds so cool and creepy.
Wtf true 😨
"See? It's just a scarecrow!"
The fact that he sounds like he's _laughing_ when he recounts that one...
“Grey man”
“Lamb, tell me a story”
If all of Fiddlesticks lines are mimicked, that means he has MET death (Wolf & Lamb) or overheard them talking, which is honestly terrifying when you think about it.
Fiddle came to existance during the first scream of creation. He IS old, the first of all demons as the primordial emotion is the fear.
Also, The Kindred arent that old, they came to be after the former spirit of death, the Greyman, felt so alone that he split himself into two, creating the Lamb and the Wolf
Thats their biggest fear, being united again, forever alone, and Fiddle mocks this
@@guifdcanalli additionally LoR revealed that belief in a spirit like Kindred in heavily important to how powerful they are
Considering what Fiddlsticks does it’s little wonder it’s met them
This is proof that your imagination is scarier than what they could create. They just gave us out of context last words and we imagine their anquish and terror as Fiddlesticks stalks and kills them. They made a terrifying character and i'm super proud of their art team
All of Fiddlesticks Lines are him mocking people hes killed or their fears he is the Primordial Demon of all fear born from the first scream of the universe coming into existence
First of ten.
He isn't mocking, he has no idea what the words mean, he just knows that they fuckin terrify people
I like to think whenever they say, "The First Scream of Creation" I like to think that Fiddlesticks was made and just terrified creation itself into screaming.
“Fiddlesticks is just a fable. Just a story to scare children”
I bet that guy feels pretty dumb right now
Ion think that nigga feeling anything
nah, he doesnt feel anything anymore.
I love how well such short phrases work.
Most people recognize the "help me" from the trailer. Sure, it's easy to understand that it's imitating people to lure or scare others... But what I find remarkable it's how connecting the "help me" with the trailer stimulates our imagination. How we interpret what he says, each person coming up with a different horrifying tale for each little sentence.
"It knows what we are afraid of". Fiddlesticks hasn't a word of his own in all his lines. And, yet, he has more to say than any other champion in the game.
All horrifying and well said, but that last part was pure poetic beauty.
@@danieldortch8779 although, I don’t think anyone would say “cut reap shear sow” as their last words
@@Brock_Lee501 unless it was farmers on days fiddle was impatient and offed them in the middle of working and talking. *shrugs* could've been
The only time fiddlesticks uses his own voice is talking to other demons and kindred. (To swain- "Raum" to nocturne "nocturne" and so on)
3:34 "It won't die." If it's a quote from one his victims, then it's pretty badass to consider that a random human actually got the drop on a demon older than creation (probably used fire or something).
Maybe some villagers manages to trap it in a barn or something and burned it down on top of it. Only to learn that it, won't die
"IT'S IN THE HOUSE" is the one that fucks me up the most. This... thing, crashing into your own safe haven is something we should be thankful isn't real.
I’m a bit creeped out by the ending quite. “Lamb, tell me a story.”
Wolf and the Lamb? Where did it hear that? Does it know what they fear? Does this thing know what death itself fears?
So many possibilities.
You should watch necrits video on fiddlesticks... He makes interesting theories about him
He does know what death itself fears! Each champion has a fiddle quote where he imitates what they are most afraid of. To Kindred he says 'Grey Man', which i personally interpret as Kindred being most afraid of being one again and thus alone once more.
@@artisticarcheopteryx5358 love how that implies he's older than death itself... he's intimately connected to the reality they live in...
It's actually been confirmed on reddit that lore wise, Lamb and wolf do fear becoming alone again and thus fiddle sticks refers to them as "grey man". Both as a homage to the fact he's far far older than them and has thus known their true form and as the one thing they fear.
I think the idea is that Lamb and Wolf are afraid of who they used to be; The Grey Man.
The grey man was lonely and hated, so split himself into 2 entities.
Someone knowing about the grey man story, means they know the grey man.
It sounds like he’s mocking those who he is mimicking.
He doesn't have a voice of his own so he mimicks the voices of other.
Yeah
If i were to make the subtitle for his line i would: bRotHeR, pLeaSe dOn'T hAtE mE
I love how this video, more than any other, seems to tell a story. The first minute seems to me that it's setting the tone for the piece, but after that is when it really begins.
1:03-2:07 Some people are singing the songs about the children's boogeyman, known as Fiddlesticks. The nursery rhyme is a little morbid when you piece it together (High above the rotten rows, cloth and metal, teeth and crows), but then again what nursery rhyme isn't. It's just a song about some sort of boogeyman, nothing more.
2:08-2:37 Two brothers are walking through a field. The younger of the two is a bit scared because they remember the stories of the monster that lurks in these woods, but the other is reassuring them that it's just a story. However, one of them hears some rustling somewhere in the field. They call out to find who it is, but as they approach they see it's just a harmless scarecrow.
2:38-3:03 It gets dark and the two brothers are still out in the field. They hear the cawing of crows, which starts to unsettle them. They sense movement somewhere in the field when suddenly, something comes bursting out from the field surrounded by crows. The more frightful brother shouts out in fear ("What is that? WHAT IS THAT!") before they recognize it to be the scarecrow they saw earlier. They both run as fast as they can, panting heavily, but the elder brother stumbles and the younger gets in the house first. Fearing for his life, the younger brother shuts and locks the door, and the younger brother pleads for his sibling to let him in as the scarecrow is closing in on him.
3:04-3:22 The younger brother survived to tell the tale of what happened to him, but nobody believes him except his own family. He managed to escape the scarecrow, but it's still stalking him. He can hear it call out to him each night. He can't leave his house after sundown, because that's when the scarecrow stalks.
3:23-4:15 Elsewhere in the village, a young girl named Sarah is getting ready to sleep when she hears a voice from her closet, telling her to come closer. When she does, the scarecrow bursts out, slashing at her as she runs to get away. She calls out for help and her family tries to fight it off, but the scarecrow won't die no matter what they do. The father is cut down by the scarecrow's claws (No, no! Please no!) as Sarah and her mother run our of the house. Her mother tells her to find a hiding place, and to not look right at the scarecrow and to just keep running as she prepares to give her life to buy time for her daughter. Sarah runs out into the fields and finds a place to hide. As she hides, she hears her mother's voice, comforting her. Her heart swells with joy! Her mother survived and she's back! She promises Sarah she'll always be there to protect her. As she looks up, however, she doesn't see her mother, but instead a scarecrow, looking right at her.
4:17-5:17 The villagers are growing quite concerned. Several people have found wandered into the fields only to never return. A search party is formed to look for them, but there is no sign of them anywhere. As they return, however, one man is separated from the group. As he tries to find his way back, he hears a voice taunting him. It's all his fault, the voice says. He could have saved his brother, it whispers to him. The man can't take it anymore. All the stress of the recent attack, the death of his brother, and being lost in these damned fields again, he breaks down and cries out, begging for someone, anyone, to come and help him. He hears a soft rustling behind him, and the caw of a crow. As he looks up, he sees once again the terrible scarecrow that's been plaguing his nightmares. He remembers the old nursery rhymes that he once sang when he was a child. Songs of a silly scarecrow with a silly name, something like Fiddlesticks, who would snatch away naughty children who wander the fields. Some children found the rhymes goofy, but there was nothing comedic about the thing standing before him. It's not real, he tries to tell himself. He must be dreaming, or hallucinating, something, anything! He'll wake up any second now. This is all just a bad dream...
Yeah I had a similar interpretation to his words
That was such a good interpretation, but the one Fiddlesticks calling at the Sarah, guilty, and ALL YOUR FAULT, is actually a dialogue between fiddle and other champions (Sarah being Miss Fortune, guilty being Riven, and ALL YOUR FAULT being Jinx, which explains that Fiddle reads the darkest memories and deepest fear of others and speaks of it)
Good story anyway
The mother and Sarah(Miss Fortune) is actually quite sad and horror story to me.. it's like Miss Fortune's Mother died cause of fiddlesticks
Omg thanks this helped alot

@orion cabral cabral how can you make lore for a demon that’s older than the entity of death itself
I’m satisfied with the Tedric lore, where Tedric gets butchered. That’s all I need to know about Fiddlesticks
@orion cabral cabral Did you even try to read the new fidd's lore?
I dont even play the game, but i love these
Same
Same here
stay away
Keep like that
Yea I'm just here for stuff to listen to while I draw lmao
His quotes aren't even his own its his victims... Thats morbidly terrifying
If true then this thing hunted down a demon as one of the voices it does is deep and demonic sounding.
He does properly talk when he’s talking to other Demons, and Kindred. When he talks to the Demons, he calls them by name, and may mention what they’re the demon OF:
Like with Evelynn, he says “Agony”, or with Tahm Kench, “Addiction”.
@@Techhunter_Talon he is the demon of primordial fear
"Lamb, tell me a story"
"Brother...please dont hate me"
I can immagine that person leaving his brother to be devoured by the creature, just to buy himself a few precious seconds.
Guess those few precious seconds where filled with regret, fear and guilt before the creature took the rest of his time.
That particular quote is actually what Fiddlesticks says to Garen, since Garen's greatest fear is making his sister, Lux, afraid of being herself in the anti-mage city of Demacia that he enforced and supported
@@ascended8174 yeah, i did find it out later, but without context it could be interpretended in my disturbing way
I love how when he's imitating 'brother, open the door!' you can hear pounding in the background. Might just be the drums from the music but it lined up so well, like he just mimic'd the whole noise instead of just the voice. Also the way you can occasionally make out what the victim must've sounded like under the demented fiddlesticks-tones... wew, scary stuff.
This has an early 2010s creepypasta feel, one of the legitimately disturbing ones not the muh haunted video game/lost episode ones. It's great.
Fiddlesticks: *Possibly a being closely related to that of League's Reality*
Also Fiddlesticks: _ScErScRoW_
He is just a demon when it comes to lore.
@@strider8662 But he's most likely the first demon ever created. He's older than death, older than the stars.
He could be the actual manifestation of the creator of League's universe's (prolly A-soul) nightmares.
@@maddoxio I can agree with this
The man literally makes a scream like noise before saying "Stars..." when interacting with Soraka, implying that he REALLY doesn't like stars.
Fiddle isnt the scarecrow
He is that shadow inside the cage, sealed a long time ago by the Aspect of Twilight herself, imprisioned far below the anti magic land of Demacia, and yet besides all of that this Monster can manifest out of the cage, through raw matter around
His true form must be way more terrifying and thank god its sealed away
I swear they need to make a animated series with at least one episode where it focuses on each champion.
Fiddlesticks would be amazing
Imagine an episode of the upcoming animated show that focuses on Jinx and Vi hiding/running from Fiddle (Warwick could work here too)
Then the serie would have 154 episode i think.
"So what kind of music do you listen to?"
"So WhAT KiND oF MusIC dO YoU LiSTeN TO?"
"NO!! Dont leave me!! Brother!! Open the door! LET ME IN"
GOD I love this champs quotes and how they did it.
I remember originally they said they were gonna have fiddle have multiple overlapping voices of his victims but having him Mimic what he hears to learn how to talk was SUCH A BETTER route
Just an evil primordial parrot
Open the noor
Perfect for when you're going to sleep 😃
Definitely. Geez...why am I watching this at 2:00 a.m.
"It's in the house!"
pErFeCT fOr wHEn yOu'RE GoInG tO sLeEp
You can feel the sarcasm coming off this comment 😂
And yes. I also watched it at night.
Gave me nightmares.
Literally watching this at 3 am
When he suddenly said "lamb, tell me a story"
I freaking jumped
I wonder if he knows what he is saying or does he just thinks it is noise and uses it to scare his victims or gives them a warning to make the hunt more interesting.
Fiddlesticks clearly understands, when he says "Im always here, my little hero!" is an interaction with Willump, not Nunu
Emerald Crown I thought that was for Nunu, since its interpreted that the line comes from his mother.
@@alvarocanto8071 it is for nunu, her mother used to call him my little hero
I think he is like a parrot, he copies what he heard, that's why some of his phrases are like been said by someone else
I think Fiddlesticks doesn't understand speech, for him it's just noise that humans make, just like breathing and whistling.
An interesting note, when killing demons, he says what they feed off of.
Evelynn is Agony.
Tahm Kench is Addiction.
Raum, the demon with Swain, Secrets.
Nocturne is Nightmares.
And, when he himself dies, he says Horror.
Fiddlesticks: Raum.....
Swain: NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.......... OnO
"See? It's just a scarecrow"
_just_
_a harmless_
_scarecrow_
God the voice is haunting it's perfect hopefully I can write stories and lore as good as these someday
I love how him repeating the last words of his victims tells a horror story by itself
To this day “IT’S IN THE HOUSE” is the most haunting voice line
"It won't die!!" You're implying that he's alive to begin with
The game: Colorful, quirky characters, funny animations, meant for everyone.
The lore: Has a few of the most tragic, sad, horrifying, brutal stories in modern fiction.
"Grey man"
At least everyone now knows what the portrayal of death itself fears.
Becoming one again.
It's scary bcs it looks like fiddlesticks is not afraid of Kindred. The very death himself. But it's sad that we don't see any reactions with Voidborns
Because he will never have a friend?
In the spirit bonds kindred said that Long ago when they were 1 being called the grey,the grey man was tired of the rountine of Claim souls,rest ,wake,Claim souls ect. and because of that It got lonely so he split himself in 2 like what kindred said in there trailer but in the spirit bonds kindred buried the memory cause it was that sad but you help them remember it again and come to terms with there past.
Fiddle is older than Kindred (as he was around before life, and thus death, even existed). "Grey man" may just be fiddlesticks stating that he recognizes Kindred as the same being as, well, the gray man, as a show of how ancient he is and how he is aware of death's wherabouts without ever having to face death itself... but the "lamb, tell me a story".. is the real one where Fiddle tries to create fear.. by suggesting he could take Wolf away from Lamb, and leave her to be alone. Or, since Fiddle reproduces the voice of his victims to lure new ones.. MAYBE FIDDLESTICKS ALREADY KILLED WOLF and maybe he is now trying to lure Lamb with the voice of kindred's lost half...
@@thahoule7924 I don't think fiddle killed wolf but you might be right that fiddle recognizes kindred as almost same powerful beings. But fiddle is older than the universe bcs ( I don't remember where I have read that) he said that he heard the Voice of Creation and it was full of Fear. So that States he is older than kindred and maybe as old as the Selestials. Unlike Bard who heard something beautiful in the creation of universe fiddle heard something that would bring Fear. Maybe this means that he heard the Void and Bard could not hear it. But fiddle is Like the God Demon. He was never an Azakana but he states he is the first of ten. Maybe Ten refers to Ten Selestials. That Ten Selestials exists and he was the first
Lamb, tell me a story.

MOTHERF-- ITS FIRST VOICE SCARED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH LOUD SPEAKERS
Dude same lol when I first heard this I nearly jumped out of my skin at 4 in the morning
The voice acting here is profoundly good, and I can hear several themes the actor was going for. The raspy gasping makes FS sound sick, very, very wrong, and constantly out of breath. He's struggling to speak, not because it needs to breathe, but because it doesn't understand what it's emulating and is just attracting prey and/or arousing fear. Absolute terror probably seasons its meal, like basting a turkey, and FS is absolutely going to fuck to the fear turkey.
The random tonal shifts make it sound more alien. Like, if you heard this in the dark, you aren't sure what the fuck you just heard, but it definitely isn't human. And then, the actor compounds this with a trick of speaking while inhaling air, letting him hit notes in dialogue and make sounds that aren't normally possible because he's effectively using his vocal chords backwards.
Just parroting the words of its victims and the animals along the farmlands it haunts. It’s not even clear if it understands what it’s saying or it just knows these noises get attention but in either case it paints such a grim idea of what it’s done just by speaking.
What makes it worse is that you can tell who the people are from the quotes. From parents reassuring their children, lost travelers, people trying to help, and then there are kids. There were KIDS.
I'd pay good money to see the faces the VA made during this recording session.
The VA made a video about how he did fiddle's voice, also showed some examples, here's the link if you wanna check it out - czcams.com/video/czsRZd2-6Ac/video.html
"They haven't come back from the fields it's been 3 days....." That is the line that terrifies me the most. If you read the short story for Fiddle the guy telling says Fiddle stalked and tormented the town for like months before he finally "attacked" made the people paranoid turned what was once a thriving town into slums turned friends and family against each other one by one lanterns on people's houses going out night by night...until....well I think the video explains it well....
“They haven’t come back from the fields.. it’s been three days.”
Is HORRIFYING when you realize that Fiddlesticks was in the house the whole time to hear them say that….
"Your not... real." you can almost hear the desperation. And isn't that just sad? That your died, denying it to your last breath.
RIP to the poor souls named Sarah who'll watch this video and won't know that line's coming for them 😂
Perfect for listening in the dark,at 3 am
I can just imagine a story when Garen and Lux are trapped in a village that's being stalked by Fiddlesticks. Garen's trying to be calm, initially not believing that it's Fiddlesticks. After all, he's just a fairy tail, right?
And then in the night...
"High above the rotted rows,
Rags and metal, teeth and crows,
Fiddlesticks, death of men,
Fiddlesticks, FIRST OF TEN!"
This makes my day. That voice made fiddle my fav champ near-instantly.
*[Robbers enter house]*
Alexa: *[Unauthorized hostile intruder detected, playing "The Ancient Fear - Fiddlesticks quotes (rework)" as programmed.]*
the worst thing is that he sounds like he's out of breath
he sounds out breath bc all of the voice lines hes mimicking his victims either being out of breath (bc they were running away, or screaming in terror) or the last few, bloody breaths they took when he slashed them to pieces
@@thahoule7924 I also think it's because Fiddlesticks doesn't have a throat or mouth to speak out of. It's a mass of demonic energy piloting a scarecrow puppet. It's forcing air through its body in order to make sounds that sound like words, but are obviously not human
He’s really old and doesn’t excactly have lungs being a scarecrow and all
SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A FIDDLESTICKS SOUND BOARD I NEED TO USE THIS IN A D&D CAMPAIGN
The wiki should have all the clips separately
I like how it sounds offended when is says 'Fiddlesticks is just a fable'.
1:01 I wasn’t ready
for anyone wondering, fiddle stick reference many champions using "words they would be afraid to hear".
"brother please don't hate me" is from lux to garen, "sarah" is miss fortune's real name, "little light" is how sylas calls lux, "my little hero" is how nunu's mother called him when she was alive, "guilty!" is addressed to riven who feels deeply guilty about the horrors she committed during the campaign of ionia, "all your fault" is adressed to jinx and there's also a version were he says jinx name at the start, "grey man" reference kindred's first form before they split themselves in two out of loneliness.
there's a few more quotes directly addressed to champions that don't appear in that video: "vannis don't hurt her" to sylas, "vayne. give us a smile", and "brother how could you betray us?" to yasuo.
You are a master at creating stories from these quotes!
How about we give some love to our buff robotic-spider boi and our thicc classy catfish boi? :)
Who is the robotic-spider boi? Urgot? I think he is more of an octopus lol
@@lttacoman actually, one of his concept rework names was "Spider-tank"
Nah the Got's clearly a crab, with shotgun knees in place of pincers.
With arcane out, I kind of now want to see what kind of horror show/movie they can do with fiddlesticks.
Void:invades runeterra
Fiddle:hi
Void:bacc in da hole
Aurelion:plans on attacking runeterta
Fiddle:hi
Aurelion:bacc in the leash
Void: *what is this "fear" and how can i eat it?*
More horror than a movie ( im kidding but the feelings....ARE ALIVE)
"They haven't come back from the field... It's been three days..." Made me actually sad
These quotes are definitely Fiddlesticks mimicking the final moments of two brothers and whoever Sarah is
Sarah is Miss Fortune's forename, I believe this is who this line relates to.
It's crazy how you can play so many hours and years of this game and have no idea that this goofy scarecrow sounds absolutely terrifying because you've never played him before.
"Lamb, tell me a story"
I almost missed this one at the very end
That "NO!" at 2:54, holy shit
The fact that he parrots the last words of his is victims is just so... haunting
I really just want a movie... is that too much to ask? Would really be a nice addition to the horror genre
God, the rework of Fiddlesticks is phenomenal. They turned it from a kooky-looking scarecrow to a vaguely-humanoid nightmare thing made of jagged steel and burlap, held together by primal darkness.
Cant wait for them to make a whole series with THIS GUY as the villain in Arcane...
Thank you all for being patient with me whenever I randomly disappear off of the face of the earth for a couple of months, hope this video can make up for it
Glad you returned :)
I’m glad you’re back bro
Don't sweat it, we all love your quote videos and Fiddlesticks was worth the wait
@Terry Alhazred Thanks! I also do lore for the other videos on the channel although I'm currently updating some of my older ones since I had bad grammar on those and they look awful (imo) compared to my newer ones
Don't cha worry man, it's understandable u gotta make it in real life before making time for these videos. So great job at getting ur drivers license and diploma 👍.
Also when u say that the next few vids are patron commission does that mean they will only be avaliable for patron to view or just that patrons get a say in what the next champ is.
My man lookin like he was about to growl out a "general kenobi"
Are we all gonna ignore that fiddlesticks says LAMB TELL ME A STORY!?!?!? That's a line form the wolf and lamb champion!!!!! Ya know DEATH?!?!?!!!!!
0:04 God. The moment it starts talking when you have your headphones on is enough to make your skin crawl.
Fiddlesticks douse uses quotes from otheres but they are quotes he heard not his victims, the lines “brother please don’t hate me” and “little light” are from people who are still alive in current lore (those two being lux and sylas). Now for the lore part of those line *confetti and cheering* , little light is what sylas calls lux (because of her light magic and possibly because she is the only mage to be able to walk around demacia (imho that is), while the lines “brother please don’t hate me” is from lux and her fear that garen will hate her just for being born with magic.
What I love about Fiddlesticks so much is that so far as I can tell, there is no concrete lore for its origins or its nature. I haven't checked lately, but if there is I don't wanna know. In a world like Runeterra where tentacled aliens from beyond the colors of time, swaggering space dragons, immortal shortstack goblinoids, mechanically-augmented serial murderers and every flavor of wizard imaginable are par for the course, and all of which have fairly concrete explanations, there is also just...this thing. Nobody knows what it is, where it came from or if it's even really sentient. It's just a shambling, chameleonic, scrapmetal scarecrow that kills indiscriminately and without any acknowledgement of its own actions. I like to imagine even vast repositors of knowledge like the Kinkou or Aurelion Sol or Zilean don't like to talk about Fiddlesticks because even in a world this crazy, Fiddlesticks just not being able to be accounted for is a deeply disturbing implication.
he sounds like scooby with a sore throat
Almost midnight at me, I should go to sleep...
Oh look Fiddle video
"Lamb,tell me a story"
Fiddle,don't tell me you were able to hunt the personification of a nightmare wolf and actually succes
Some of Fiddlesticks's voice lines aren't from previous victims. In fact, it sometimes says things that it had no way of knowing and as though it has some way of accessing the memories of those that it hunts. Usually when it does this it is to mock, scare, lure, or any combination of the three.
Spirits cant feed out of fear from other spirits, thus Fiddle only says that to simply mock the aspects of death themselves
He is that old, powerful and dammed
With how popular Arcane was imagine if they just flipped the script and made an animated horror story staring fiddlesticks.
This one character makes me almost play League solely for his lines.
... Almost.
Yes, I'm so glad ur here. I was afraid you perished.
Kellen Goff is so talented, the diversity and depth to each line is incredible.
Fiddlesticks' recreations of its victim's last words, uses a slightly toned down emotional tone, meaning its victims were probably ten times more emotional... Now, take into consideration 2:49 the way it says "it's alive" has so much sheer terror in it... Imagine how the victim may have sounded.
SKINWALKER!!!!!!
@@crystalinqq1107 no, bad commentor, stop appropriating native American culture
I wasn't specting that reference to Kindred, but oh my god, loved it. Did he hear it from someone before they died? Or from Wolf himself? So cool.
No. Fiddlesticks is fear itself. It knows what they are afraid of.
@@darkmatter3112 Ohhhhh that makes it even cooler
Fiddlesticks also has lines for other demons like Evelynn. He'll either say their names in a deep tone similar to anger or disgust or state what they are demons of. As Fiddlesticks says. He is the first of 10. He is the Demon of Fear.
@@francisharkins
Fiddlesticks = Fear
Evelynn = Agony
Tahm Kench = Addiction
Raum = Secrets
Nocturne = Nightmares
