Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I find it actually hilarious that ppl are saying "at least Alduin isnt racist" as if his whole schtick isnt to have complete dominance over all man and mer and as if all dragons dont believe the dovah are the SUPREME RACE and that was the whole fuckin reason that they overthrew the dragons in the first place
Species race whatever but you get my point it's very very strange
Does no one pay attention to that part of the game???
I guess not?
I raise you: every race in TES is racist against the others. Stormcloaks cities aren't alone in refusing the Khajiit caravans entrance to the cities. Imperial cities — Solitude, the Imperials capital; Whiterun, the neutral trade hub of Skyrim — refuse them.
Dunmer live in the Grey Quarter and Argonians live on the docks. This is considered wrong. But there's also the issue of thousands of years of Argonians enslavement by Dunmer and a recent invasion of Morrowind by the Argonians that decimated the southern half of the province to consider. Yes, some individuals can and do get along, but it's probably not a good idea to have two groups known to hate and antagonize each other not rubbing shoulders.
Also every Dunmer in Morrowind hates everyone else. Even other Dunmer. Outlanders . . .
The Aldmeri Dominion's entire schtick is they hate the races of men (and lesser mer, but they're pretending to like them to exploit them, shh)! They even attack members of their own Altmer race for dissention or perceived defects. They lead purges in Valenwood against the Bosmer.
Let's also remember the Countess of Leyawiin in Oblivion, Alessia Caro, who had torture chambers for Argonians and Khajiit in the castle dungeons. In a city historically rich with Argonians and Khajiit cultures.
The Bosmer and Khajiit have a long history of fighting each other. Iirc one of the Wild Hunts was instigated due to Khajiit attacks at the Valenwood - Elsweyr border.
How many times have the Bretons and Redguards sacked and burnt Orsinium, only for the Orcs to rebuild it? How many wars have been waged in the Iliac Bay region between Breton and Redguard factions, all for power?
There are so many examples. But basically:
Tl;Dr — everyone in Tamriel actually hates each other. Yes, even members of their own groups. Folks like Erandur are rare because nobody loves anyone. And if they do, it's because they want something.
the fact that ram and devi were still very much into each other even after 5 years of barely seeing each other and now both are adults and can act on the passion they kept hidden for so long but minutes after finally giving in to temptation they find out she got betrothed to another and those 5 minutes of passion were the first and possibly last time they ever got to do that and now they're watching each other slip away again but this time to the point of no return and there's nothing they can do about it
Over here we got a Funny Microphone, one of the funniest microphones in recent memory, I think! Michael Drop is a microphone, that drops from above. That could bonk you on the head, which is bothersome. But to the microphone itself, or to an onlooker, it might be a bit of whimsical slapstick at your expense! And when you say "ow" or "ouch" or "hey" or "huh" in response, everyone will hear, because it is a microphone! I hope your response is family friendly, this game is rated E for everyone!
I also hope you were not having a private or sensitive conversation. Sneaky little Mic Drop could then be broadcasting your secrets to all in the vicinity... but it's not its fault! Mic Drop is innocent! It does not want to reveal your secrets. It just wants to Kill You. Is that so wrong?
Mic Drop will swing around while electrifying itself, which is a dangerous thing for a dangling object to do! But we can also look on the bright side. This will prevent you from getting too close to it. If every microphone was electrified like this, no one would put their mouths too close, and they would keep it more sanitary! This cleanliness would be important, since if you tried to clean the zappy microphone manually, you would Die.
If you are In The Know, you might have realized my favorite thing about Mic Drop by now. It is like a bagworm! There have been a few bagworm Badniks previously, and Mic Drop is designed similarly, so I think it is very intentional. I think it is so clever to have a hanging microphone be like a bagworm, and Mic Drop even seems like it is "wearing" the outer microphone casing. Imagine a world where enough microphones are destroyed and dismantled that bugs could evolve to exclusively wear them as protection, and then pupate inside of them. Isn't nature Awesome?
When I'm in a better headspace I will still be reading Stranger Things fics again eventually. But, I’m done writing for this fandom. I feel like it's just been proven to me over and over again that this is a negative, generally unsupportive, entitled, competitive space. I often wish I stayed a reader. I miss when I didn't know about all the drama. I’m not going to put my time and creativity into something just to put it out into such a toxic space. It’s not worth it to me.
I truly wish I could just get the entire ST fandom in a room and give us all the Mean Girls gym scene treatment. Like "who here has felt personally victimized by this fandom?" Because I bet it would be just like that scene, everyone would raise their hands. I have been belittled, bullied, called racist and homophobic slurs. I've had insults thrown at me that I haven't heard since l was in highschool. I've watched my friends be treated the same way. I've watched the fandom divide and then divide again. The cliquey bullshit, the pointing fingers, the accusations of "copying". It's all so fucking pointless, if I'm being honest. We are all here for the same reason more or less. We all love the same characters.
This fandom has completely forgotten what FANDOM is about. Community, creativity, a safe space to share your art and your love for something with people who love it too. I wish so badly that we could all go back to that. To when it felt like an actual safe space, an actual community. But I just want to say thank you to anyone who's ever taken the time to read my work, become my friend, or even just been kind to me on this app. I'm thankful for each and every one of you.
I've always said I wouldn't let people chase me off or ruin my love for this fandom but at this point, I'm done. I'll still be around, l'm NOT deleting my blog, I still love Eddie and Steve very much but I absolutely need to take a step back from them before my love for them is ruined entirely. I am multifandom now and I will still be writing but for other characters. So if you don't want to see that I understand if you decide to unfollow me. I won’t hold it against you. I wasn’t even going to make a post, because honestly? No one is entitled to an explanation from me but I felt that the people who have actually been kind and made being here worth while deserved to know.
