Théoden Memes
Some of these are old as hell but I love Théoden and every "WHERE WAS GONDOR..." meme I've ever seen. Our fandom has the finest minds of any fandom and it's not even close.
I love Bernard Hill and hate to see the shit he's going thru because he said Amazon Rings of Power was a money grab. He's right, of course. A money grab and a vanity project for Bozo Bezos.
Love Bernard Hill, always.

“…it is worth while from time to time to take a look backward, and to consider what those endured who went before us. To most of us our own life is almost the only struggle worth considering, and wrapped up in our personal affairs, we do not remember the stupendous difficulties faced by our forebears, who conquered this country and made possible its development, and the ease and luxury in which we to-day have a part.”
Excerpt from Beyond the Old Frontier ~ written by George Bird Grinnell [originally published – 1913]

If there's one thing our forebears have revered almost as much as their gods of soil, it's the plough.

Okinawans seek return of forebears’ remains, collected decades ago for research | Science
Kyoto University has remains drawn from the Momojyana burial place in Okinawa, Japan, where members of the royal household of the Ryukyu Kingdom are thought to be buried.
Yasukatsu Matushima
In the late 1920s and early ’30s, scientists from Kyoto Imperial University collected 200- to 600-year-old remains of a number of hundred individuals from burial collapse Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost prefecture, which has its own culture and language. Now, in an echo of demands from Indigenous individuals all over the world for repatriation of the remains of their forefathers, 5 Okinawans are requiring that Kyoto University return the bones and pay settlement.
The complainants state Kyoto University rebuffed demands to go over the concern, so in 2018 they took the matter to court. The case is gradually making its method through the legal system, additional postponed by the pandemic. To put pressure on the university, last month the complainants pleaded for worldwide assistance at a rundown for foreign reporters in Japan.
Holding the remains breaches the constitutional right to liberty of religious beliefs, since the Okinawans don’t have the chance to venerate their forefathers, states Yasukatsu Matsushima, a financial expert at Ryukoku University who is one of the complainants. He includes that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples calls for the repatriation of native human remains. The bones drawn from one of the websites, the Momojyana burial place, are thought to consist of those of members of the royal household of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was based upon Okinawa Island. Japan taken in the kingdom into its empire in 1872 and liquified it 7 years later on.
Kyoto University just recently launched a declaration stating “the university does not consider that the bones were obtained illegally” which the remains are saved “in a manner appropriate to their preservation.” The scientists who collected the bones decades ago declared in their works to have actually gotten the approval of regional authorities. But Matsushima states remains were taken “without the agreement of families, relatives, or villagers.”
The anthropologists who took them to Kyoto wished to study bones to clarify resemblances and distinctions in between Japanese and Ryukyuans, Matsushima states. But today, they figure into long-running concerns about the origins of the Japanese individuals. Most scholars believe groups of Stone Age hunter-gatherers from northeastern Asia moved to the primary Japanese islands when land bridges linked them to the continent. Another theory holds that early Indo-Pacific mariners followed sea paths north, island hopping over Taiwan and Okinawa to reach Kyushu in southern Japan.
Whatever their origin, those early occupants were signed up with by later waves of migrants crossing into western Japan from the Korean Peninsula. It was long thought that the intermingling of these groups produced an unique, uniform Japanese population. However, current DNA research studies recommend “there is huge [genetic] diversity among Japanese,” states Mitzuho Ikeda, a cultural anthropologist at Osaka University. DNA analyses of the bones might clarify those early migration patterns, and Matsushima concerns Kyoto University is keeping the bones to extract DNA for analysis. For now, nevertheless, it appears that nobody is studying the remains.
Tsuyoshi Tamagushiku, a descendant of the Ryukyuan royal household and a celebration to the claim, states he was uninformed the bones had actually been gotten rid of from the Momojyana burial place till checking out news about the concern a number of years ago. It is still a custom, he states, for Okinawans to make expeditions to the burial place. “I feel extremely angry [to know] that I had prayed in front of the tomb when there were no ancestral bones within,” Tamagushiku states. He and the other complainants state Japan is out of action with the worldwide pattern of returning remains and artifacts to Indigenous groups.
The Japanese federal government, nevertheless, does not acknowledge the Okinawans as Indigenous. But from a cultural sociology point of view, “The Ryukyuans are an Indigenous people,” Ikeda states. For Tamagushiku it is more individual. He simply desires “to have my ancestors rest in peace in their own proper resting place.”

Thunder and Clear Sky are fighting and oh no! Clear Sky seems to be winning? But what’s this?? IT’S SLASH WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!
Funny enough I WAS actually planning a moment like that with the Wind Coalition. I might shuffle it now...
It was going to be one of the first times Bumble really showcases how good her ability to translate is. Thunder Storm was trying to painfully negotiate with Shadow's Group, or gets in some scuffle with Sky's Clan again (was still working out the details) and JUST as it seemed lost, Bumble shouted "HELP! MURDER!" in Parkmew, causing a cluster of WindCo cats to burst to the rescue
But maybe instead I can shuffle it so that there's a moment towards the very, very end of the diplomacy section where Clear Sky brings his WHOLE forces to destroy the tiny Clan, and THAT is when Thunder and Slash realize they've been pitted against each other.
Hmm... maybe I should back up and cause some sections in that diplomacy arc where Tall Shadow and The Wind Runner offer what Thunder needs in their talks, in exchange for being mercenaries against Slash's cats. Thunder accepts several times, since he was in Clear Sky's group where he "saw that it's true, theyre violent and aggressive..."
Show how it can benefit him to accept what the other groups believe about Slash and his cats, but also REJECT it by showing that in the end, it oppresses BOTH Thunder and Slash to be fighting each other and Thunder was completely wrong to accept their words at face value.
Thunder Storm isn't immune to being an enforcer of the systems he created a Clan to reject.
I think it would also be really good form to change Slash's name a little, because he's SO BAD in the original text, just to differentiate what I'm doing with him.
Hmm... since none of the other groups seem to have a Leader Power yet since they're so new, maybe SLASH and his group is the one with a little bit of magic? I could have Slash be able to die a couple of times.
I could have the white marks on his legs spread up every time he takes damage. Instead of straightforward "lives," however bad it was determines how vertical the slash is. So a REALLY bad death stands straight up, while every drain from weakness or starvation just loops around the leg.
Kinda like one of those heartbeat monitors.
Maybe the other groups call him Slash because of that, but it's not his real name...
#better bones au#BB!DOTC#BB!Slash#Maybe his name in his language is Shai. The word that becomes the -Star suffix#Thunder Storm takes it in his honor after the First Battle maybe and cultural memory over time turns it from--#--just a name into the word for ancestral stars#There is a star-based worship from the Mountain Cats#And the concept of patrons#But maybe BB!Slash becomes Silverpelt itself#Fitting since the forebears of the wind runner and King Arc are lost forever and even King Arc is mostly remembered through a single phrase#Meanwhile this one becomes that which holds them together

Nobody set out to intentionally bugger up the world. In many ways we have done just that, though, through ignorance, self-interest and poor historical reference. What we have done, and got away with in the short term, we can't continue to do. It's not denigrating our forebears to acknowledge that the things we did to build civilisations, to pull people out of poverty, to feed entire nations, also had an impact that we can now too readily see.

Between Redguard and ESO I’m really starting to love redguards and Hammerfell, but I’m crossing my fingers we get some soft retcons or changes for tes 6 (assuming it is in Hammerfell) because they have way too many in-universe historical and cultural similarities to the nords imo
#like they also have some cool unique stuff going on#but also both groups came to Tamriel from a recently inhospitable continent and then wiped out the local elven populations where they#landed on Tamriel#they both have this thing where it is most honorable to die in battle#(which I don’t mind that much as a similarity but it is another one)#they both (as of the 4th era) have an empire sympathetic and anti-empire factions#which at least the crowns and forebears have a longer deeper cultural history#but it does mean we might get civil war part 2 for tes 6#I just want them to change up the elf genocide thing you can only do that so many times before it makes me raise an eyebrow at the writers#mine#lean into the Japanese samurai thing please Bethesda#and lean into the parts of the crown/forebear conflict that don’t have to do with the empire
