i think abt haskill and what he was like and what he did and what he probably was going through as madgod ALL the time, like bethany really just flipped my metaphorical worldview by revealing that he’s a former mantle in the same vein as the OB protag. i know that the canon revelation we may get at some eventuality, likely in teso, will be extremely lackluster, but in my heart of hearts im dreaming of the wild scenarios that could be done with him. was his mortal self a wild motherfucker, leading to him reversing his trajectory entirely as a mantle/later vestige servant? was he a banal, milquetoast mortal dude that a scheming sheo swooped up into his plan to stall jyggalag? and even so, did haskill become a retained vestige of some mortal personality by chance or force of will, or because sheo valuedloved him so much he didnt want to go on with eternity without him?

what really gets me is that they went back to having fun interesting nords in tes online again? which turns skyrim into this weird hiccup in the series that’s also unfortunately the one most people know about

that was me asking that question because i was legitimately interested in thoughts on it, because i'm still very new to tes and know little about all the lore or rules or gray areas involved, i was on anon because i was worried about getting this exact reaction from people misunderstanding my intent :(

nah like, its fine, but honestly most other people have a real simplistic view of daedra morality when its pretty well established that daedra do NOT act in line with any regular real life morality, and the whole tumblr performative social justice intent taints every goddamn fandom now so blue and orange morality gets either swept under the rug or taken as a black and white issue
