100 Episodes of Mighty Nein!!!
I could not be happier and can’t wait to see where this story brings them next. With everything going on I hadn’t realised how much I missed the show, the characters, the cast.
Welcome back <3
people I still want to stab over a decade later:
Creative Writing Professor at a former college: Welcome to creative writing! By the way, you will not write fantasy, ghost stories, pranormal, or science fiction in this class, as this is a creative writing course.”
What the ever loving fuck is with “creative” writing professors who think that speculative fiction of any stripe ISN’T CREATIVE?
I still remember my own creative writing teacher telling me this because he saw the Terry Pratchett book on my desk and got this smug smirk on his face like “aha, gotcha”. He had the nerve to pick it up and call it “popularist fiction”, like somehow being popular and easily accessible made it less inherent in intellectual value.
I had it in my back pack because I did my final thesis on the evolution of mythology and folk tails into fantasy and sci-fi and the societal importance of telling stories (before anyone asks, no I don’t have it, I lost it when I moved continents), and I used Terry Pratchett because there wasn’t a single humanitarian issue the man did not touch on.
Which I told him. And then he kind of floundered and went “ah, well but, it’s…well I mean it’s not exactly high brow”, like neither the fuck was Shakespeare or Dickens you self-important turnip. Dickens was literally selling his stories by the chapter. He was the popular author of his time. Shakespeare was too, he fucking made up words and phrases all the time because the language he needed to express himself didn’t exist in the way he needed it too.
Intellectual elitism is nothing more than a hold over from class warfare and the belief that only certain people should get to be truly educated. And it needs to be smashed.
A look into the Whiterun Collapse - The Tamriel Economist
A report by Sven Jorgenson of the Vale Times.
The province of Skyrim has suffered severe economic turmoil in recent weeks. The gold standard has sunk to a record low. The replacement is the ‘dragon bone’ quotient. Unfortunately, only the 1% are in control of the total supply of dragon bone in all of Skyrim.
This fiscal calamity has left experts of Tamriel baffled.“We have never witnessed such a catastrophic market crash! Sure, in the days of the Oblivion Crisis things weren’t great either, but this? This is unprecedented!” remarked one spokesman of the Guild of Commerce.
An employee of the Aldmeri Banking Commission had this to say: “Unemployment is at an all time high. The septim has failed. The only tradable commodity is dragon bone, and to a lesser extent dragon scale. But there is no government treasury for these! This has resulted in unparalleled inflation.”
The vendors are at their wits’ end as well. “The dragon trade has ruined us! No merchant has enough gold to trade in for dragon bones, so the customer relies on the black market. We legitimate business people can’t afford to keep our shops open anymore. I’m sure this is a Khajit conspiracy. Those desert cats are stealing food from the mouths of our babies!" - Belethor of Whiterun General Goods.
However, recent information has come to light which does indeed hold a particular party responsible for the turmoil. Olava the Feeble, a supposed fortune teller and resident of Whiterun has made bold claims:
"Hail Sithis! It was the Dragonborn! He alone brought about this hell on us! I’ve seen him many a times from my bench, hauling chest-fulls of dragon bones to his cottage in the city. No one questions him, just because he is Thane he seems to get away with everything!”
The city government has refused to comment on the allegations levelled on the Dragonborn. Whiterun in particular was hit hard by the market slump causing prominent local businesses such as the Bannered Made and Arcadia’s Cauldron to declare bankruptcy.
Jarl Balgruff is attending a meeting of local Thanes and Jarls in order to bolster support and organise an aid package to alleviate the suffering of his people.
The Dovahkin, Thane of Whiterun, Slayer of Alduin, was unavailable for an interview.
When dealing with the negative voices in your head, do a Jojo Rabbit and personify them as Hitler who often has unicorn for dinner and offers cigarettes to minors.
But not as Takia playing Hitler, because Takia is babie.
need more media where the irredeemable piece of shit antagonist gets beaten in the climactic final battle and is like ‘heh… are you going to kill me… hero?” and the protags like Ya lol and cleaves their head off with a battleaxe
Where my Mistborns at ?
Lord Ruler, more like Lord Lamer.
the trouble with writing is that it’s literally always easier to just lie facedown on your floor and make inarticulate noises
Sexy word of the day
From Mistborn: The Final Empire
Yeah Eid Mubarak, but can we talk about how we announce the end of the fast with literal cannon fire?
Like I imagine a few centuries ago, some local nobleman with a tiny ass ego goes “yeah the setting sun isn’t a good enough reminder for the *common* folk to understand that they can eat now (as they have since forever, so pedestrian), better fire this giant weapon like 4 times lol (gotta justify the tax collection someway)
