thoughts on the Elder Scrolls races

NORDS:

 V I K I N G S

probably eat nails for breakfast

without milk

seriously though these guys have some issues with people drinking milk

their fashion sense is basically strapping as many dead animals to themselves as they can

punch each other for funsies

resolve polictical conflict by via shouting contest

ALTMER:

commonly called high elves because they’re so fucking tall

fab

superiority complex

do not engage in magical combat with them because you will lose

will not rest until they have complained about everything

BOSMER:

smol

chillest of the elven races

outdoor enthusiasts

archery skills to rival legolas

won’t eat their vegetables

KHAJIIT:

furry

Khajiit likes to speak about themselves in 3rd person

nomads

it’s not breaking the law if no one sees you doing it

their hands are their weapons. no seriously they got claws

their king is chosen by the moons. I’m serious

IMPERIALS:

like building empires

not very good at running empires

rich bitches

still sad because they lost sir patrick steward and his son sean bean

slapfights with the altmer 24/7

longing for the day when they will get their shit together

DUNMER:

Edgelords™

their eyes are red their skin is blue they’ll probably set fire to you

ghost whisperer(s)

their gods tend to hold grudges

seriously dont piss of their gods they will fuck you over

kind of in a bad place after most of their homeland literally exploded

BRETONS:

politics

will sell you for one cornchip

kind of the elves’ unwanted bastard child

secretly really good at magic

don’t like their rural cousins in the Reach very much

REDGUARDS:

will knock you on your butt

P I R A T E S

What’s that? You wanna invade their homeland? I’m sorry your authority isn’t recognized in Fort Kickass

wanna see a magic trick?

no

no they don’t

ARGONIANS:

lizard

can breathe underwater

history of getting fucked over by the dunmer

tree huggers

i still dont understand why their women got tiddies. but they do

maids: lusty

ORISMER:

mean green killing machines

literally trained from birth to hand your ass to you

isolate themselves a ot

not that they have to try because they get shit from literally everyone

master smiths

their god may be a bit of a dick sometimes but he looks out for his people

resting bitchface

Literally one of the greatest uses of this meme ever

Killing Undyne is fucking heartbreaking. She loves her friends so much, and Alphys, she thinks of Alphys, ‘Undyne, the heroine who never gives up’, you are right buddy. God dammit this genocide play through sucks

[thetransiententity]

Don’t worry about feeling bad, the game with punish you enough for choosing the Genocide run. Just wait. That being said the challenge was really fun.

Broken Hourglass (2015 Edit)

The sands have fallen from their place. When they ran so freely through my fingers, The time seemed only to pass while they fell before my gaze. Radiantly in the sun they shimmered, so luminous I recall. The world about me was brilliant, My life was sound. And now I ponder aloud “Is it over now? Has my time finally run out?” Resting in a hill ashen. Twas a sentence so brief; I was scalded by passion. What a fool was I, To think my fate different this time! With such Clockwork cycles; predictable sentiments. What a fool was I. My hands were never by the sands abrased, but my soul suffers in their absence. And oh! The Silence! It screams at me. So deafening it cripples, a voice that stings; a dagger’s thrust. But worse is the poison that makes the heart fast, born from toxin of lust. The sun retires, my time is passed. And such a fool I was.

All To Dust

Time is far kinder to the Earth, who knows not her own age, We, men, we scurry about our lives, Feeling the unrelenting press of our own mortality, time ever waning. But she, she is resolute, needing prove no significance to herself, Unaware of the infinite stream.. surrounded by the nothingness she shall one day become. Unflinching, aloof. And we! Such foolish men we are, Trot about her and hold ourselves as gods, while so short is the gap between life, death and rebirth, We are present for but a blink of the universe’s eye, Ah, we! Men! So brief are we, and so brief shall be, Within that endless reach of time.. Of the same matter composed, But cursed to know ourselves. And thus we flail about to leave desperate marks upon our world, Unaware that she too will decay, that she and we shall return to dust. All to dust. All to nothing. All to dust. Returning to that womb by which all was conceived, and from that womb to be conceived a-gain! Ah, yes even is matter mortal, for atoms decay. All will fade, all created again, a phoenix in a flame. Terra; the Earth and her brothers and sisters who know not of us, Nor the names to them assigned, When gone we will be unknown to them still. But we stand proud at this moment, a race still adolescent Foolish, but beautiful in our efforts, beneath the eye of the universe, Which will always remain too grand to be by us perceived. We seek purpose in our lives, but have none to inherit. And thus are free to create our own, to stand in the ceaseless river of time. To stare back at the universe and her many children in the sky, There is beauty in our brevity, and wonder in her longevity, But she too will one day die. Even eternity itself is not eternal. All to dust. All to nothing. All to dust.

Some more shameless self promotion. Enjoy, hopefully.

Oh what a thing it is to love, and another to love without requite. Still to this day do I recall that one, fateful late summer night. The last I had to hold you, to call you my very own. But because that night has passed I shall henceforth remain alone. Alas, there is no love at the end of my story, my suspicions proven true, For I can never love another… Not after loving you.

BPD Translations

What I mean when I say….

“I’m fine”……”Please ask me more, please see through this pain and ask me, force it out of me, make me tell you, please”

“k”…..”I currently feel really upset, angry or disappointed at you“

“Sorry”……”I am self aware. I know what I say and do upsets you, I know that you get annoyed at me. I wish I wasn’t this way but I can’t help it”

“Forget it”……”OH MY GOD PLEASE SEE THAT I’M NOT OKAY!!!”

“Bye. ”……”Oh so you’re leaving? Great, I’m going to be left here wondering what I did wrong. Don’t worry if I split on you, heh” 

“It doesn’t matter”……”This is the most important thing to me currently but I can see you think I’m being dramatic again so I’ll stop talking”

“Message me. Please…”……”I am seriously freaking out right now, I need reassurance and without it I’m going to wind myself up even more”

“I’m gonna go….”……”I perceive that you have had enough of me or are not able to cope with me, so its best that I leave, even though I don’t really want to and you should stop me, please?”

“I hate you!!”……”I love you but I just can’t deal with the intense negative emotions you’ve made me feel probably unknowingly, I’ll have forgiven you soon though so don’t take me to heart”

“I love you”……”The positive emotions I feel towards you are so intense and so deep that I can’t even comprehend how to communicate them. Theres too much to say and it would take a lifetime to make you see what I you truly mean to me”

“Hug me?”……”Theres something serious going on for me right now. I need support in a physical way, just hold me, you don’t even need to talk to me, just hold me as long as I need”

“Please don’t leave me”……”Everybody I have ever loved has left me, literally. Everybody. Nobody sticks around. Ever. You’ll need to prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re not going to do that, and even then I might not believe you”

“I’m so sad”……”These feelings are so overwhelming, I can’t even function right now. I can’t see any hope for the future, I can see nothing other than this emotion right now. I will never be happy again”

“Nobody ever takes me seriously”.…..”People invalidate my feelings constantly.

“Please don’t ignore me”……”Under ANY circumstances do NOT ignore me. EVER. Its actually really abusive”

“I can’t cope”……”I am ridiculously overwhelmed, I’m probably dissociating right now”

“Help”……”This is literally an emergency. I will not ask for help from anybody, I feel like I’m not important enough to get help. I feel unworthy”

“I need some space for a bit”……”If you don’t get the fuck away from me right now I’m likely to lose my temper and take it out on you, so please back off, I’ll come to you full of apologies when I’m done being irrational”

“I was worried about you”……”My world ended, I thought you were dead or injured or you’d abandoned me like everyone else. My brain was telling me so many things, the thoughts were terrible, intrusive, paranoid.

“I’m borderline”……”I’m intense, I’m needy, I’m paranoid, I’m dependent, I have maladaptive coping strategies, I can’t regulate my emotions, I’m probably this way because of an intensive childhood trauma or historical abuse, I sometimes see and hear things when I’m stressed, I have addictions, I need constant reassurance and will probably get angry at you regularly if we get close. Oh and sometimes just for fun I will switch from loving you to hating you for no reason and it could last a while”

If you relate then please pass these translations on to any neurotypicals who you feel may benefit

If I had a nickel for every time I unclogged a drain, I would probably unionize because five cents is not a salary you can survive on in today's economy.
