She sees Ahab has once again acquired a crew of people who she is driving to their destruction purely for her satisfaction, and eventually resolves to put her down not out of vengeance or wrath, but to stop her from ensnaring others the way she was and perhaps finally give her old captain the peace in death she clearly could not find in life.

The Pinky: do whatever

The Middle: Middle Apprentice Ishmael mentions a Middle Sibling (singular), which is cool. When you come out they probably throw a mandatory gender reveal party complete with all the worst parts of gender reveal parties. If you do not want to come out to everyone, too bad. All your other siblings go “Don’t worry about getting hate! If they don’t respect your identity we’ll just kill them” if you express your desire to maybe not be so loud in announcing your new title

The Ring: encourages messing with your pronouns and gender presentation to the point that no one can tell who is serious about their gender and who is doing it for as performance art (and if you try to insist that this is about your core identity and not a persona, everyone gets mad at you for insinuating doing it for art is any less meaningful). and by “performance art” I mean less like drag and more like coming up with the longest neopronouns you can specifically to watch your fellow students struggle to pronounce them. so it's like no one will attack you for coming out but no one is really taking you seriously either and depending on what you do they might even call you boring

The Thumb: I feel like they just do run-of-the-mill transphobia

theres a skill called athletics as well. this determines how fast you run - because running is different from walking. walking is extremely slow, so running is important. Athletics is the fourth most important factor in determining your movement speed.

theres another stat called "strength". among other things, it determines your carry capacity. the percentage of your current carrying capacity which is currently 'filled' determines how fast you move. In practice, this is the second most important factor in determining your character's movement speed.

Now, old hats of elder scrolls games can see where im going with this. most know that in skyrim, your speed is actually someone determined by your height. this means that, in practice, high elves are a little bit faster than everyone else. In morrowind, the characters also have different heights, and its actually more pronounced than in later games

This has no effect on movement speed*.

There is a secret stat, determined by race and gender, in morrowind and only morrowind. it is called 'Weight' and for some reason determines how wide chests are and how jacked your character looks when shirtless. For some reason, this hidden and unchangeable stat is the single biggest determinator of movement speed. A male wood elf, the smallest race at a diminutive .9 weight and a fast starting speed of 50, will move significantly slower than a male orc, the most jacked beefcake race at 1.35 weight with only 30 starting speed.
