#( mod notes )

Jews are an opinionated and diverse people and this is a hot takes blog so neutral moderation is a serious challenge. However, the purpose of the blog is not to be a great mud-slinging festival and the mods are in discussion about how to address some of the issues here.

For now we are announcing a nine day pause on any submissions about orthodox/conservative/reform/secular/religious/masorti/hareidi/chassidic/etc being wrong/worse/stupid/bad/non Jews. If the submission is already in the queue it will continue to move forward but any new submissions on those lines will be deleted.

My hot take is that it's not actually healthy for you to spend so much energy fighting with and making fun of each other so I am challenging you all to channel a fraction of that energy in coming up with more creative hot takes, please.

OKAY… HI.

I’M FANNY. THE ONE FROM THAT POPULAR SHOW. A LOT HAS BEEN GOING ON RECENTLY, SO I MADE A BLOG LIKE SOME FRIENDS OF MINE HAD TO VENT MY ENDLESS FRUSTRATIONS!!!

OH, AND YOU CAN SEND ME QUESTIONS, I GUESS. THAT TOO. EVEN THOUGH I HATE THEM!!!!! SO… ASK AWAY?

MORE INFORMATION UNDER THE CUT OR WHATEVER.

This may be a rather lukewarm take, as I don't have as much interaction with the Daggerfall Covenant side of the ESO fandom, but I'm convinced that, like myself until a couple years ago, neither has anyone that has ever earnestly considered her a voice of reason.

Gabrielle is that one character that people assume is put together at first glance because she's intelligent and professionally accomplished, but that perception completely shifts as people gradually discover the laundry list of borderline war crimes she's used those smarts to commit.

Her canonical claims to fame include, with no hyperbole applied:

Singlehandedly breaking into a cult-infested crypt for a talisman rumored to open portals to Oblivion.

Gleefully hacking the warding sequence on one of the most secure vaults in the Covenant and openly admitting that she'd wanted to take a crack for some time upon learning it was named the "Impervious Vault."

Getting banned from the Anchor's Point Inn for setting fire to the hair of a pushy dragonknight who failed to heed her rather upfront request to stop hitting on her (easily the most understandable point on this dissertation).

Losing "teleporting directly to the Evermore Mages' Guild" privileges for a reportedly similar incident.

And, most unnervingly of all, sending a treatise to Covenant generals advising the displacement of beasts and beastfolk in enemy territory to send them rampaging into local settlements as an invasion tactic.

Ya gurl may have more outward tact in professional settings, but there's absolutely no way her dynamic with Darien doesn't involve him reigning her in ethically as often as she reigns him in conversationally. These feral besties are two halves of a whole common sense and I love that for them.

I'm back! So sorry for the hiatus! I was super busy but I'm ready to get back in action! Looking forward to future endeavors in this blog =]
