oh hey I saw you on Reddit lol

Prince of Morrowind

handsome prince lounging around... i had the lighting in mind since i started the picture but im not sure if i like how it came out. but he is so handsome

fun fact: in the first era the sixth house was known as the house of serving. serving cunt, that is.

putting the version without the lighting under the cut

people who call him Mark Antony should be shot I think. he doesn’t work at the fucking Greggs down the street!!! he was a consul of Rome!!!

if you must shorten Marcus Antonius, then at least latinize it a bit! Make it Marc Antony! It looks so much better!

this is like when Jack Horner dedicated his entire life to arguing that Tyrannosaurus is actually not a super cool predator but in reality a cringe gay scavenger because his favourite dinosaur was often portrayed as tyrannosaurs’ prey

(elite paleontology reference)

can we talk about how lottienats disregard travnat/ mistynat/travis/misty as characters for their ship? they're insanely important to nat. and disregarding them means disregarding nat's development, drives, and ideals. they literally changed nat's perspective and character. like do you even care about lottienat as characters? and the whole 'i hate men so i'll ignore him and misty's a freak so i'll ignore her' like way to strip natalie of possibly the narratively two most important people to her

and i fear lottienats have a super surface level understanding be another thing is like. whether you like travnat/travis or not he's important for her characters development and drive for her entire life. there's a reason why travis haunts her story, whether you like him or not you gotta understand why he's fundamental for her character

you know that farmed fish are like… not from the ocean, right? this is like saying that the billions of chickens we’ve got are a part of the environment.

you can’t have it both ways. either the problem is overfishing or the problem is industrial farming. not both.

Silicon Valley's Fish Killing Machine

There's a tech company called "Shinkei Systems" that created an "AI powered fish killing machine" (they're using an automated machine to do ike jime, a traditional Japanese slaughter technique where a fish is killed instantly via a knife to the brain). Here's a picture of their machine:

Isn't that metal box such a great way for a living creature to die? Shinkei systems claims this automated death machine is "more humane" than error prone humans, who of course, sometimes miss the mark when severing a fish's brain from its spinal cord.

If the idea of automated animal slaughter doesn't freak you out enough, take a look at their promotional material where they promise to "eliminate 85% of the workforce" wherever their machine is used.

And just to wrap this story up in a bow, the founder is a guy named Saif Khawaja who retweets a lot about "DNA based IQ testing" and other race-science nonsense:

So yeah....a tech company run by a race obsessed skull-measurer decided the most pressing issue facing the world was not enough cheap sushi-grade salmon. The solution, of course, isn't to allow the ocean's depleted fisheries to regain their natural levels by reducing commercial fishing, it's to make a robot that can kill fish in a fancy Japanese way so people who eat industrialy farmed animals can feel less bad about it. And why not put a bunch of fishermen out of work while you're at it? The solution to our ever alienated world is clearly removing any human contact in the food supply and ceding that role to a machine. Clearly, the faster we can kill animals the better; perhaps we can kill them quickly before any concerns about the rapid destruction of the earth's aquatic ecosystems arise out of our collective haunted consciousness.

Happy Star Wars Day! Here’s my other Skywalker Twins comic all in one post!

cant stop thinking about the yellowjackets cgs still being just teenagers . like yes, they take amazing care of the little’s but it takes the combined forces of Nat, Tai and Laura Lee to try and make a bottle for Lottie the first time. And little!van whining and rolling around because they are SO bored but Mama can’t play right now because she’s doing homework. Nat and Jackie are deep into a gossip session about someone from school who had a go at Lottie in the hallway and Lottie’s just sitting on Nat’s lap with her fingers in her mouth completely unaware of what they are talking about. Shauna, who is usually the go to for English assignments, being regressed and now they’re all just making up their essays and it’s not going to end well.

anarchists are, I think, my least favourite type of political extremist because they’re just so annoyingly convinced of their own utopianness.

like, there have been a lot of absolutely vile ideologies and states through history. empires. monarchies. dictatorships both red and brown. theocracies. but at least they all have like. a coherent idea of how the world works and the realities of power and real political theory and actual successful (in some form) societies that they can look back on. and for the most part they recognize that those societies were not perfect utopias, but are able to argue that their actions had some purpose beyond simple malice. to put it another way all these ideologies have some idea of the social contract and the greater good and realpolitik. some liberties have to be given up. some people have to be hurt or killed. some morally repugnant things have to be done so that most people can go on living a relatively good life.

whereas anarchists are just like “everyone will be nice to each other 🥰🥰🥰 and we’ll all share everything and everyone will be happy 😊🥰😌 and all the problems in the world will just be fixed ❤️🥰🤗🤗 no law or justice? that’s ok! no one will commit crimes 😇😊☺️ no international trade? that’s ok! we’ll return to an agrarian society, those are always good 🥰😌😁 no central authority to stop anti-anarchists from seizing power and reverting the whole thing? that’s ok! they just won’t 🤗🫠🤭”

all the people criticizing Vance for “not being a good enough catholic” need to get a fucking grip. there are SO MANY THING to criticize Vance and every member of that administration for which aren’t “he’s not good at being a cult member”

Except you’re not “just some guy”. Uriel Septim directly calls you - not Martin, you - a Hero.

“In your face I behold the sun’s companion” (or perhaps, the *son’s* companion).

“You are the one from my dreams.”

“The gods placed you here so that we may meet.”

“You are our only hope to stem the blood tide.”

“This burden is now yours alone. You hold our future in your hands.”

Uriel is explicit in the fact that you are the hero who will save Tamriel. The Nerevarine is less prophesied than this, and they have a whole prophesy named after them!

something fantastic about the opening of oblivion where the emperor asserts the hok's position within a prophecy and we assume its for us. we're the main character, of course, why wouldnt we be this legendary figure like the nerevarine was

and then jauffre immediately informs us upon meeting him that the emperor's son was hidden away at the moment of his birth. the implication that maybe two or three decades ago the emperor knew of the prophecy and acted decades ahead to ensure it's fulfilment through martin. and then you travel to kvatch, and its destroyed because of martin, who is the last of the dynasty, who dagon has been hunting all along. not you, but him, and then you realise that martin has always been the prophesied one, the legendary figure touched by the gods - and you were just the Guy in the cell afterall

kill yourself, cracker 🙄

Me: maybe perhaps people shouldn’t live under dictatorships
