SOTHA SIL: My friends, it occurs to me that, in your sentimental naivety, you have failed to overlook the most straightforward solution to our quandary. There is one road left to us, though it be a dark one.
VIVEC: No, you can't mean...
ALMALEXIA: Gods, Sil--
S: Yes. The time has come to cancel Nerevar.
V: We cant! He is too great a hero, beloved by all. The cancelling would never take.
A: Vivec is right. We are cunning but we have nowhere near his clout. How could we cancel Nerevar? Who would believe us?
S: But the truth is on our side, is it not? Who better than we know the crimes he has committed? If the people were taken into the same confidence as we, they would deem him problematic without further question.
V: It is true. He never told me whether he condemns those fools who say Mephala worship is a gender. Its clearly an ethos!
A: I am not saying he has done nothing to warrant a cancelling. I know for a fact that he once dated a man of the sign of The Steed, which given his own sign of the Lady is deeply suspicious... but Vivec is right. His popularity greatly outweighs our own. Who would listen?
S: We would only need to be clever about it. Voryn Dagoth is a principled man-- if we were to provide him evidence in the form of an anonymous message that, say, our Nerevar believed those of Dwemeri descent reserve the right to call themselves shield-bearers...
V: Voryn Dagoth! Voryn believes Lorkhan worshipers are not more oppressed than those of the Good Daedra, he's as likely to be cancelled himself.
A: Another astute point, Vivec. Have we considered what would happen if Nerevar tried to cancel us in turn? What if, Sil, he were to discover your Velotheddit account? Are you prepared to defend your opinions on Azura to the public?
V: Sehts opinions are rooted in trauma, even Nerevar wouldn't dare.
S: Unlike you both, I would gladly defend my controversial opinions to the public. The force of logic is on my side.
A: And this is why I counsel Nerevar on public opinion, not you! Cancellation has nothing to do with logic nor evidence-- it is about appeals to emotion and the use of correct terminology to win the peoples hearts. Unfortunately, Nerevar is masterful at this.
V: ... And yet, he DOES listen to our counsel.
S: Vivec, have you an idea?
V: Nerevar heeds our advice on what the people believe, yes? We may not even need to cancel him-- let him cancel himself!
A: Oh?
V: What if we could convince him to espouse a belief in public that would have the people turn on him? We would not even need to prove it!
S: My friend, you have the subtlety of the Webspinner herself!
A: It *could* work. He is due to address Mournhold tomorrow. But what would we have him say?
V: I know just the thing...
[THE NEXT DAY, MIDDAY, UPON THE PALACE COURTYARD, OVERLOOKING A GREAT CROWD]
NEREVAR: My dear friends, my beloved people of Veloth! I am delighted to welcome you to the festivities today. But let me begin this address with a revelation I have had of late. In our bounteous nation, there is no point in us fighting each other. I believe we all must set aside our differences, and learn to find the middle ground of our dissenting opinions--

hello friends I have a question. the meme "I think I hauve covid", what does it mean. this is probably understandably a difficult one to google so I am turning to you all... is it always a response to a sexy thing or is it just an indicator of general excitement
