To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.

I understand where people who say "at least rop is getting more people into tolkien" are coming from but unfortunately my tolkien-obsessed brain can only reply with a very purist "what's the point if it'll only make them enter tolkien's world with a ton of misconceptions and wrong perceptions of many themes, events and characters therefore not really getting them into tolkien but someone else's warped version of tolkien; the only way to get into tolkien is to acually READ him"

it's no-one's fault that it happens and nothing can be done about BUT ☝️ at least it also makes me so very painfully frustrated

Unfortunately one of my main criteria for enjoying high fantasy is whether it scratches my itch for narrative symmetry or not

[fusrobruh]

Argon: I’ve seen a lot of murders in my time, and all six of them were today

[fusrobruh]

Maedhros: Look, I’m glad everyone’s finally on the same page

Maedhros: But It’s the last page in a book titled ‘We’re all going to die’

Curufin: That’s not even clever

[fusrobruh]

Turgon: How long do you think it’ll be until Finrod finally snaps and commits murder?

Galadriel: I’ve been going through life assuming it’s already happened at some point and no one was able to trace it back

[fusrobruh]

Galadriel: Present your best argument for eating bacon

Orodreth: If animals don’t want to be eaten, why are they made of food?

I'm obsessed with Sean Bean's line delivery for when you give Martin the Mysterium Xarxes.

It's giving "let me see what you have" "a knife!!" "NO!!!!"

Oblivion Remastered Rant

Martin Septim’s Remodel - Thoughts & Opinions & Controversies

I’m going to upset some of y’all but I truly do not understand people’s complaints about the remodel done to Martin Septim in the Remaster. He looks too young?

Uriel Septim when his father, Pelagius Septim IV, died in 3E 368. He was 22 at the time. It doesn’t say exactly when he married Cayla Voria, but he had three children with her, together, Geldall, Enman and Ebel. Geldall, being the eldest, was born 3E 377. Ebel, the youngest, was born 3E 380. That being said, Uriel had already started having his marriage fall apart by the time Martin was conceived. He even already had an illegitimate heir before Martin named Calaxes (we have no info on when he was born nor who his mother was). While we have no concrete proof, I seriously doubt Uriel was going around sleeping with women every single night from the time his youngest was born to when Martin was born.

Uriel also spent ten years in Oblivion, being sent there in 3E 389, before his eventual rescue in 399, which would’ve made him 43 when he was imprisoned and 53 when he was rescued (assuming time works the same way in Tharn’s pocket dimension). He was 87 when he was killed in 3E 433. He most certainly wouldn’t have been making illegitimate heirs during those 10 years in Oblivion. That would make Martin, at the youngest, 34 years old if he had been born the same year Uriel was freed from Oblivion. The oldest Martin would be is about 44-45 if he was born right before Uriel’s imprisonment. I don’t know about you, but this character model looks to be right in that age range.

I seriously don’t get what the complaining is about. He looks similar to his voice actor, which I thought was a thing that is usually praised. Sean Bean was 47 when he voiced Martin. Again, fits right into the age range of Martin in-game.

They white-washed him? Um, no, they didn’t. They made him less orange. Could his skin color be darker? Yes, it could. That being said, if you take away the orange tint on the original character model his skin becomes lighter. These are also 2006 graphics. Idk if y’all really remember what the character shading was like back in the original but it was not the best. But anyways, isn’t that also glossing over the fact that in every race there are degrees of skin shades? Like there are Latinos who can pass as white, but that doesn’t mean they’re not Latinos. There are Africans with the most gorgeous, black shade of skin you’ll ever see. Does that mean other Africans who aren’t as dark as them are whitewashed?

Martin Septim is an Imperial character in a fantasy game. Imperials of Tamriel are based off of Roman/Greek cultures. Last I checked, Greeks and Romans (in modern times, Italians) are just as diverse in skin color as the characters in the game. Some are white, most are olive toned, some are black. That doesn’t make them any less Greek/Italian than someone who’s skin is darker than their own.

People hating on martin septims' model in the remake makes me sad 😔 I THINK HE LOOKS GOOD

I think it's because he has facial hair now is why people don't like it

[fusrobruh]

I hate those oblivion mods that try to "fix" the NPCs by making them sexy. that's gooner shit. I'd fuck martin septim the way he is

[fusrobruh]

Me: oh, the oblivion remastered dropped! I’m so excited to see the community grow together with the new players coming in!

*opens tumblr*

*post after post of original tesIV people whining about Martin’s updated look*

Stuck in thought about how Akatosh makes Martin Septim and the Last Dragonborn be the martyr for his problems. Like, get up ho and do it yourself.
