I've gotten into Skyrim lately thanks to a recommendation by my friend @riviere-cartia! Here is my dragonborn, Aibha, suffering while fighting a dragon.
I love skyrim because it helps fulfill my fantasy of eating endless cheese wheels and owning a home.
i saw an instagram reel that made me realise that there is still a misconception about skyrim being a good example of people who claim "not to care about real world events and politics" suddenly becoming political experts when it's time to defend fictional marginalised white people.
like, don't get me wrong, that absolutely happens. but skyrim is simply an incorrect example. the reason why there is nothing surprising about people who supposedly "don't care about politics" being political experts about skyrim is that they obviously don't care because they are racists who don't think there is anything wrong with colonialism and therefore do not care what colonisers are currently doing in the real world, which is exactly the same sentiment they express about the game, just more freely.
nords in skyrim are literal colonisers who performed a full genocide of the native snow elven population and are in the process of actively massacring the only remaining indigenous people (the forsworn of the reach) at the time of the game's events. stormcloaks in particular, whose slogan is a clearly fascist "skyrim belongs to the nords", are blatantly racist, keeping the dunmer refugees in a poor, unmaintained area of their central city and not allowing saxhleels into said city at all. their only real claim to oppression is not being able to worship talos, which is honestly a complex issue, both because of how the ban on talos worship occurred and who talos used to be as a human. regardless of that specific issue though, in the grand scheme of things, nords are not the victims of the story in any capacity, nor are stormcloaks any kind of fighters for freedom or liberators.
so like, people who turn a blind eye to horrific things that colonisers and oppressors are doing in the real world but obsess over nords in that game aren't an example of only caring about oppression when it happens to fictional white people - they are an example of real world nazis supporting fictional nazis.
First one is a portrait of her and her parents. She's an only child as her parents met later in their lives and decided to have a child even later, but she's very close with them. She's a huge daddy's girl. While her dad is from Morrowind and fully Dunmer, her mother grew up in Cyrodiil and is 1/4 Nibean Imperial and 3/4 Dunmer. Her dad is of House Sadras and her mother's ancestors were from House Hlaalu. Saori grew up in Cyrodiil but was pretty much completely raised in Dunmer culture with her mom's extended family.
Second one is a moment from Saori's childhood with her great-grandfather (on her mother's side). He's from Vvardenfell (and moved to Cyrodiil after the Red Year) and liked to tell Saori stories of Morrowind pre-Red Year, eventually inspiring her to move to Vvardenfell for her ecological restoration project as an adult. He's very excited about it and very supportive.
In Fallout universe, the Supermutants who use stealth technology, inevitably become addicted to it, manifesting maladaptive behavior, paranoia, delusions, affected speech, brain damage, and most commonly of all, schizophrenia.
In Morrowind, players often try to outdo each other with the cumulative magnitude of their constant effect Chameleon enchantments—a spell which grants them near invisibility.
