on watching a parent age

i saw somebody say “what if you’re gone and i haven’t become anything yet” and basically that broke me on a random thursday evening

I’ll write more about it when I get to the scene again on my second playthrough but Davrin’s reaction and confusion when he stabs the archdemon and DOESNT die is honestly kind of heartbreaking?

Because he’s just like. Why didn’t I die? I was supposed to die. And the way he talks about it just makes me wanna… grab his shoulders and shake him and be like you know you aren’t only valuable as a martyr, right? You know that you don’t have to die to be important. You’re already important. You already matter. For all the small and big things you do every day - every wooden figurine. Every note in your book. Every supportive and steadfast loving act. You are not just a hero to be sacrificed.

my fave overheard on campus moment of all time was the two guys who sat behind me in pop culture theory

as class was starting one of them was like “so… do you want a blowjob after this” in a rly bored voice, and then the second guy was like [pause][dejected sigh] “yes”

The reality of being Indigenous in so called Canada

• Indigenous women and girls make up 50% of human trafficking victims, while only making up about 2% of the population.¹

•If the territory of Nunavut was an independent country it would have the highest suicide rate in the world (135 per 100,000, which is 10x the canadian average)²

•Despite Calgary having a fairly low crime rate the Calgary Police kill more people than any other police force in Canada. In 2018 CPS killed more people than the police forces of Winnipeg, Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto and Edmonton combined. ASIRT, the provincial police watchdog, has never charged an officer for these murders. If you control for population, the rate of civilians killed in Calgary by police is 8 times higher than in New York City. ³

•Between August 30th and December 14th 2024, 15 Indigenous people were killed by police in Canada. 15 people in under 4 months. Because Canada does not collect data on victims of police violence it's difficult to know exact numbers, but it's estimated that Indigenous people make up 16% of police killings, while only making up 4.1% of the population. Indigenous people are killed by police at a rate 10x higher than white canadians.⁴

•28% of people federally incarcerated are Indigenous. This number is as high as 40% in women's prisons. Indigenous women are incarcerated at a rate 12.5x higher than non Indigenous women. ⁵

•29 reserves in Canada are under drinking water advisories. Some of these advisories have been in place for more than 25 years. ⁶

•53.8% of kids in the foster care system are Indigenous. In the province I live in (Alberta) that number is more than 70%. ⁷

• 7% of non Indigenous Canadian children live in poverty. 38% of Indigenous children in Canada live in poverty. ⁷

Canada is not America-lite. Canada is not America's polite northern neighbour. Canada has its own brutal colonial history, and sits on forcibly occupied Indigenous land.

Guide to Friendmancing Fenris as pro-mage, without sacrificing your integrity.

I’ve seen many people still having impression that it’s hard to friendmance Fenris as a mage-supporter, and especially - a mage. A fair number even claim it’s impossible, without tossing your ideals in the gutter and bending to the templar’s will. Let me assure you - this is not close to the truth. Friendmancing Fenris can be tricky, but in fact, it requires nothing except a bit of common sense and some caution. Or as the saying goes - “pick your battles.” Hopefully this guide will help players to successfully navigate the deep waters of Fenris’ Friendship romance, while standing firm in their pro-mage beliefs. Let’s start:

Also for the record if someone does say or do something insensitive and it doesn't seem like they were being Intentionally Malicious, informing them and going "hey this isn't cool by the way" is 100x more productive than trying to be snarky and rude without any specification about what ur mad about. I've gotten so many anons where people were mad at me for xyz reason and I genuinely don't know what I did to incite that reaction. I don't wanna be bigoted in any way shape or form, and I understand not everyone is like that, but at least tell me what the damn problem is so I can fix it instead of cluelessly continuing to propagate harm
