just another blog

honestly most of what going to college has been is just people assigning words to shit i’ve observed or experienced for much of my life. profs act like they’re teaching Very Important Concepts to me and i am like bro i have just. lived this shit

ah yes, “food gentrification” is what the kids are calling it when rich white americans Suddenly Decide that they’re obsessed with something that’s been a staple food for marginalized groups forever (like hummus and pita or quinoa) so it becomes vastly appropriated and incredibly overpriced…meanwhile i’ve just been calling it “stop overpricing my damn breab” and “stop trying to make hummus into a dessert, you MONSTERS”

yeah 2d art is hard…….but modding (with textures and 3d components, adding them to the game, and then taking steps to make sure that things work properly) is far harder then 2d art by virtue of the troubleshooting elements alone…or even just by virtue of using Blender and that’s the fax

no takers so far, so I’m boosting this again. treatment is kind of important to my survival actually so it would help if folks spread the word

peekaboo is essentially just making fun of babies for not understanding object permanence 

#i’ve made fun of babies for less

i’m half asleep so it took me a good 30 seconds to realise that this wasn’t just a passage reminiscent of my morrowind fic coming up from nowhere on my dash, it was actually a quote from it, and someone on tumblr is using bitter-teen Iriel quotes to illustrate child psychology, and i couldn’t be happier right now

I’m making noises like a dying dolphin.

hot fukin take: given how Vivec seems very ready to hand over the reins to the Nerevarine at this time (which I think is also bc they’re tired after being left to manage the Ghostfence and stuff, basically alone), the persecution of the Nerevarine thing really strikes me as the Tribunal (or more specifically, Vivec) testing the incarnates until one strong enough/qualified enough/able to fulfill the prophecies comes forward to address the 6th House threat. also, ordinators/armigers/inquisitors would be potatoes compared to the challenge of the sharmat and the flesh-divine-warped 6th house creatures. ofc it was also partially bc they were afraid of the Nerevarine being 100% brainwashed by the 3 daedra/used as the 3 daedras’ tool to take back their influence from theTribunal, as well. this theme of testing also happens to be a recurring one in the dunmer/chimer belief systems.  

I’m torn between wanting to know exactly what he was wearing, and knowing the details are probably funnier left to the imagination.

self care is unfollowing people who post negative shit about stuff that makes you happy

shadowmere is genderfluid and that’s the hot take for tonight

So, Shadowmere is just Boethia muscling in on Mephala’s toys?

SHADOWMERE AE DAEDROTH

nerevar probably flipped his shit when the dwemer gave it to him

a holy site of almalexia that now has some deep mythical lore attached to it but originally was only associated with her because as a mortal she single-handedly delayed a diplomatic mission for a week because it turned out that half the border guards used to work for her in mournhold castle and omg gunnhild how’d you get that scar, that looks sick, wow brynngar you finally married harald, how wonderful, oh aeda i still have the bear-fur cloak you gave me, hrundi you must come meet my companions…. vivec and sotha sil spend the next three days sitting around awkwardly while almalexia gets turnt on mead and catches up with half of a village 

the legend is like “here almalexia showed her legendary mercy to a band of nord warriors who sought to oppose them by greeting each by name and with supernatural insight” but the reality is more “here almalexia spent way too much time hanging out with nords and it took three days for her to recover from the hangover”
