Tuesday March 28.

It's Tuesday: so Skyrim.

You know, it's funny that goats should be so prevalent in the magical Skyrim universe, as the internet might just say that the Elder Scrolls: #skyrim is the G.O.A.T. of video games. If not the internet, Dear Reader, then at least we here at Tumblr. We who have spent countless hours wandering the misty mountains, battling dragons, bartering with NPCs, staring out across the landscape, and, of course, Shouting various goats from the rock face and into the abyss below. That'll learn 'em. Countless hours, countless fun. Fuuuus, Ro Dah! 

For whatever joyous reason, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim finds itself trending on Tumblr today. Which is total delight for us. It is quite simply one of the greatest games ever to materialize on our screens and a beautiful, enchanting world that remains every bit as popular more than *ten years* after its first release. And for very good reason.

Happy Tuesday, folks. Why not celebrate with 20 Quotes From Skyrim That Are Absolutely Hilarious x

Enchanting as always: Carmilla~!

Human disguised Carmilla Carmine with her hair up and down in the style of my #HHStargazersAU! She doesn't play a major role or anything, nor will I focus much on the other Overlords. I'll mostly keep it between Chaggie & Radioapple, but @softholly made me curious about what Camilla would look like if I were to draw her in my story. I got the curly haired idea from one of her daughters. As for WHY she would be disguised as a human if we were to see her in my AU... Surely you didn't think Vaggie & Alastor are the ONLY angelic/demonic entities roaming the Earth now, did you? =) Question is, why are any of these powerful beings on the mortal realm to begin with? Guess we'll later find out~! XD -Bubbly💙

Sokka and Azula would not date each other. They would be those two kids who take summer engineering camps and they have to win every competition or they might literally die. When school starts they meet up again in a speech debate club and become partners because they’re the only people they know there. They bond over Zuko being a dumbass. When Sokka does weed on the weekends and decides aliens do actually exist, Azula drops everything to walk in the woods with him and look for evidence. They are best friends.

I love how Wolf Bruce was running around absolutely feral with his only thoughts being his primal instincts to protect Gotham and meanwhile Wolf Jason is prowling the streets contemplating his morality/motivations and questioning if he’ll ever be human again while in total fight or flight survival mode

Alduin, after Paarthurnax helps the Last Dragonborn learn Dragonrend: Don’t do this to me. I’m your brother!

Paarthurnax: Don’t play the brother card now.

Alduin: Don’t play the brother card? Situations like this are exactly why the brother card exists!

pidw wives committing adultery on their lord husband–

thinking abt like. how hostile this website makes us to one another, and to good-faith discussion—

someone i follow fact-checked a post and was like ‘actually the murdered relative in question was her great-uncle, not her father,’ which, fine, yeah, precision abt stuff like that is good and respectful!

but then in tags they were like ‘that’s a really weird claim to have made, OP, especially when everything else here was basically accurate???’ and i just thought to myself—isn’t the best-faith assumption here also the likeliest, namely that they simply misremembered?? why jump straight to characterizing the situation as a ‘weird claim,’ and implying something ambiguous-but-negative abt their motives and/or character?

and like. a while back i did basically the same thing myself: someone had posted a photograph of a gay family that cropped out their visibly disabled daughter, and i was like 🧐 and went up my ladder about it; and then later i saw they’d been like ‘i just saw the cropped version somewhere and thought it was sweet and wanted to share it, i didn’t know it wasn’t the original!’

and like. yeah, it’s good to do a little research on things before you post them, and maybe tineye would have turned up the original for them, but. their intent hadn’t been what i’d indignantly implied it might be; and i felt (and feel) bad about the tone i’d taken wrt their post, and abt having potentially directed third-party vitriol their way because of how i’d framed things—which was, frankly, the result of my failing to do enough research before posting, or at least to think through whether i had any actual evidence for what i was claiming?

anyway, i’m sure i still make unfair assumptions—we all do! but i do try to take a beat and make a little extra effort to think: is the most likely scenario here actually that this person is deliberately misrepresenting things? do they deserve my casting aspersions to that effect? or is it just that they don’t know what they don’t know, and they haven’t thought to double-check themself, and they’re human…

because the thing is, being kinder and being more intellectually rigorous actually go hand in hand here? it’s good not to ascribe motives to people that you have no active evidence of, both because reflexively doing that is a hostile approach to the world that makes you pricklier and less patient, and because it’s exactly the same sort of sloppy unsupported assertion we fact-checkers are supposed to stand against!

anyway. longer post than intended, but. some Food for Thought maybe. <3

always wondered why so many people think william is the artist when henry is quite literally described as an artist in the books
