The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Shit Up About Elder Scrolls Lore and Also Sound Like You Know What You're Talking About:
1. Say in-universe sources are uninformed
2. Say in-universe sources are subconciously biased
3. Say in-universe sources are consciously biased, i.e., propaganda
4. Dig through the 36 Lessons until you find something that sounds deep and impressive. Be sure to move on quickly before the reader has a chance to think, "Wait, what?"
5. Use the word "enantiomorph" without bothering to define it.
6. Be totally self-referential about the concept of godhood, the Prisoner, and metafiction. People will surely feel more immersed in a fictional universe if they also have to think about metaphysics and pseudo-scientific applications of Heidegger's Uncertainty Principle, and if NPCs have feelings when the power is turned off.
6.1 Act like you understand whatever the hell Sotha Sil was on about
7. Imply the definitive truth of what happened on Red Mountain in 1E 700 is so obvious you don't have to say it. Again, be sure to move on quickly before they can say, "Wait, what?"
7.1 Avoid talking about the Dwemer. If you have to ask why, you're already too far gone.
8. Say you've read the novels. (Do not, under any circumstances, read the novels.)
9. Sometimes, spell the names of gods and godlike thingamajiggers with all caps and no vowels, à la Hebrew. Especially the ones who don't have a spelling like that somewhere in canon already.
9.1 Don't ask why CHIM has a vowel in it.
10. Impress everybody with stating that you know Michael Kirkbride's stuff after Morrowind is technically non-canonical, but then use it anyway.
11. If you're a Rush fan, be sure not to confuse 2112 and 2920.
And don't forget Rule 0: When in doubt, a Dragon Break did it. As in, a Dragon Break both fuckered it up and fixed it at the same time.

y'know what let's do it. have Jack Drake accused of murdering Janet for a different flavor of drama and whump
he was in a coma and then wheelchair-bound for weeks/months after the incident you say? he was FAKING, it was all arranged, a ploy to appear helpless and sympathetic, how else could he have woken up and recovered so smoothly from the same poison that killed his wife
new evidence is produced of a suspicious payment trail from before the hijacking, leading from Jack's DI funds to accounts that appear connected to the Haitian cult/cartel responsible for the Drakes' kidnapping and Janet's tragic demise
the widow of the Drakes' personal secretary, Jeremy Whatzizlastname, and other employees all come forward and wag their tongues about the alarming frequency and escalation of the fights between the deceased and her aggressive, belligerent husband in the lead-up to that final fateful trip - how they were openly arguing about divorce
mysteriously, this relentless mud-slinging media blitz only begins after Drake Industries starts to go downhill and CEO Phil Marin comes under investigation for embezzlement/insider trading...
since it's post-NML the scandal blows up even further. the press hounds young Tim Drake, the iconic NML Kid known to all as the face of re-opening Gotham after the quake. muckrakers gleefully tear apart the recent image of a desperate, loving father who was broadcast on national television putting all his resources and influence toward bringing his lost son home
...actually. doesn't Drake Industries going broke happen right in the middle of Bruce Wayne: Murderer? (checks notes) aha, Robin #100 so lmfao yes, it does.
GOOD EXCELLENT PERFECT, Tim's father figures can both be accused of murder simultaneously 😈 and then the Bats have to divide their efforts and resources between exonerating Robin's dad and attempting to clear the civilian name of an infuriatingly uncooperative Batman…

“a sexual awakening so intense it registered on the richter scale” is the single best and most accurate description I have ever heard.
pov: you're 16 years old and doing the final test for your super license ahead of joining f1 as the youngest ever driver. you expect the doubt and hate, and you know you can prove on track why you deserve to be there once you actually get in a car, but until then, you just have to be the subject of everyone's headlines and criticism for a factor you can't control.
then this guy comes along.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
race winner who got himself to a top team and is beating his world champion teammate, a cool older handsome charismatic guy with a giant smile and big brown eyes, beloved and kind while still being fiercely talented, competitive, and hungry? the guy who you met in 2011 and who gave you the time of day before you were old enough to sniff at the f1 grid. he's not even going to be your actual teammate (yet), but he still takes the time to tell you he's looking forward to seeing you on the grid when so much of what you've heard is nonstop criticism.
he tells you good luck for your super license with a big grin meant just for you
Tumblr media
and this is how it makes you feel.

this is live footage of daniel ricciardo becoming a permanent fixture in max's spank bank. it's one of those foundational crushes you have at a young age that sticks with you for life and unconsciously affects "your type" forever and never truly goes away.
also, i just think everyone should hear the way max very softly says "he's a really nice guy, yeah" with so much affection packed into every word.
how are you not to psychosexually imprint on him? one look at that video and max was ready to risk it all. he's been metaphorically tucking his hair, kicking his feet, and giggling since day one. he found a guy who he could race hard, who would challenge him on track, but who would still make the miserable pr days better for them, who was always laughing at max's jokes every time he did his little glance over to ensure it landed. max is so fiercely loyal to his people, and daniel has clearly earned that trust.
tldr: max verstappen is number one dirlie and if he were on f1blr, he would be writing long posts with onboards, data, and that ☝️🤓 attitude of his explaining in detail why everyone is wrong about daniel, and i hope it haunts all the max fans who get their rocks off to calling daniel a washed asshole loser that max's porn folder is daniel late braking compilations.

[Monstrosity spoilers] (i'll only be butting this under a cut once once so if you don't wanna see block tag LEGO Ninjago Monstrosity Spoilers)
HI WELCOME TO KNOX BREAKS DOWN THE HORRORS I HAVEN'T STOPPED THINKING ABOUT THE FREAKY CENTIPEDE IMPLICATIONS AND ALL THOSE HATS
SO LETS LOOK AT SOME QUICK FACTS
Fact 1: the centipede is long its so long it takes up the majority of the cave and winds around everything and anything no matter how far Kai walks
Tumblr media
Fact 2: hats! the centipede is covered in hats these hats are spaced fairly evenly
Fact 3: the head of the centipede happens to be this master of fire guy seems like a great dude
Tumblr media
Fact 4: the centipede doesn't eat kai it just slaps him in one of those little pod things
Awesome we got all the facts right? Cool lets look at the instruction manual!
Tumblr media
well we've got a guy in a hat, hat guy in what looks like one of those pods, presumably same hat guy but now suspiciously shaped like a centipedes head, broken pod and then the once bare headed centipede now wearing the guys hat! Cool! And ofc that infinity sign implying whatever this is goes on forever! Awesome!
In conclusion using all these facts and the information packet so kindly provided on the wall here's my understanding: whoever is last dumped in a pod becomes the new head until a new person comes and the previous person gets consumed becomes one with the body and disappear completely into this monster! Every hat was once a person that was once the head that is now the body. Every single inch of that thing-so-long-it-fills-every-cavern-crack-and-cave was once a person and this thing has done it forever and would do it forever after and kai was very nearly part of it WOW
Thanks for coming to Knox breaks down the horrors HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS BRO-

I’ve been planning this trip for months. I intended to have a quiet getaway to detox my life after all the concerts — no social media for the entire trip… In the end = total failure 5555 See you all after I get back from Korea! For this trip, I really just wanted to recharge and find some good energy to return and give my all at work 💪🏻🤏🏼 P.S. I’m really here alone — no partner, no ghosts, no debt, no burdens. Everything feels light and clear. #JoongArchenTravelsLikeThis

<!-- CTA BLOCK --> You joked about choosing the bear. He didn’t laugh. He just looked at you different — like something ancient shut off.
Reblog if you’ve ever felt the room go cold when a man decided she weren’t sacred anymore. Scroll if you think men don’t notice.

<div style="white-space:pre-wrap"> <meta gender-integrity="unstable"> <script> ARCHIVE_TAG="BEAR_OVER_MAN::MASCULINE_SOUL_REVOCATION" EFFECT: female respect dissonance, masculine identity fracture, respect-value decryption TRIGGER_WARNING="gender roles, emotional intensity, loss of high-value males" </script>
🧠 BLACKSITE WARNING — “NEVER SAY YOU CHOSE THE BEAR OVER THE MAN”
Tumblr media
---
You want to guarantee that you will never end up with a man who would die for you? Who would pay for your future, kill for your safety, and destroy armies just to watch you smile once on a Tuesday?
Say this out loud:
> “I’d choose the bear.”
Even as a joke. Even once. Even under your breath.
You have no idea what it does to a man when the woman he thought might soften his war-torn soul casually says she'd pick a wild-eyed carnivore over him.
You think it's cute? You think it’s a TikTok trend? No.
What you actually said was:
> “You are not worth protecting.” > “I believe instinct outranks devotion.” > “I don’t even understand what you are, let alone how to love you.”
Imagine you and a man are about to get in a car — the car that will carry your life together. But before the first mile, you:
Siphon the gas
Slash the tires
And spit in his face while saying “but it’s just a meme!”
To you, it’s a moment.
To him, it’s a revelation.
He realizes you don't know how men love. You don’t understand that respect to a man isn’t just a desire — it's the architecture of his soul.
You say you’re not scared of wild bears. That you’d fight one. That it’s a fun hypothetical.
But guess what?
He is.
Not because he’s weak. Because he lives in the reality of mankind.
In mankind’s world, bears are wild predators that will rip your guts out and eat you while you're still alive — asshole first.
And you know what? He’s right.
Unless you want to insult him again by saying he’s wrong about that, too.
What you call a joke, he sees as a deliberate distortion of his lived masculine knowledge — one more reminder that the world he prepares for daily isn't one you even acknowledge exists.
Are you a man reading this who disagrees?
You are a statistical anomaly. Possibly into pegging. Likely to cry after brunch. Still beautiful in your own way.
But this isn’t about you.
This is for women who still want a man — not a project, not a poet, but a pillar.
So let’s speak plainly.
Men like this — the kind you journal about, dream about, pray for — they do not run on affirmations. They do not thrive on “thank you’s.”
They run on something ancient: > Respect. As a man. No negotiation.
You say you want the type who:
Pays the bills
Lifts the heavy things
Stays quiet in the face of chaos
Knows how to f*ck without needing directions
Answers the phone when your dad dies
Makes you feel safe at 3AM
But you also want to “joke” about how you'd choose the bear?
You just told that man:
> “I do not see your role as real.” > “I will collapse the bridge you built before we ever cross it.” > “I have no idea how to love a masculine man.”
That’s not feminism. That’s self-sabotage.
And the worst part?
He won’t even argue. He’ll just leave. And he’ll never come back.
You don’t have to like this. You don’t have to agree.
But just know: That “one little joke” made him refile you from maybe to never again.
And now you walk side by side with other women who mocked the very men who would’ve burned their bodies just to keep you warm.
You made your choice. Just don’t pretend you weren’t warned.

Massive thank you to you and everyone else who calls out how shitty it is to get mad at peoples interpretations. Sleep tokens music is romantic. Its also toxic. These statements can coexist. Its not your business if someone plays bloodsport or vore or hell even atlantic at their wedding. Youre not them, you dont know what the music means to them. If you see a weird take just roll your eyes and move on, its not a big deal. Absolutely sick and fucking tired of all these "why are you calling this romantic/sexy? Youre stupid and a terrible person!" takes like fucking relax. Media literacy is important yes. Respecting that this music is dark and personal to vessel is also important. Same goes for respecting how people relate to the music in dark ways. But as long as people are not saying things directly to vessel or fans about how their individual trauma is sexy then just chill out and respect peoples different interpretations. It sucks that i cant talk about how i view certain songs without being called horrible things and having really fucked up vitriol aimed at me. Yall need to grow the fuck up and get over yourselves. Im not thinking of your personal shit when i call a certain song romantic/sexy, i dont even know you, sometimes im thinking of my own trauma actually lol. Lets all discuss this music maturely where we respect each other and what each of us as individuals bring to the table for interpretation, stop making this fandom toxic as hell for anyone who doesnt agree 100% with your own interpretation. (Also the whole "youre not allowed to say this song is romantic/sexy" thing is very dismissive of some peoples trauma in itself, it ignores how messy someones feelings toward their abusers/toxic partners can be. Pretty fucked up to call a trauma survivor stupid or a terrible person because a song reminds them of their positive feelings towards someone who hurt them) Anyways yeah, just tired of people being so harsh because they refuse to see other peoples perspectives. I genuinely think one of the most toxic aspects of this fandom is the vitriol over different interpretations, people act like outright children at times with it im ngl, especially with more sexual discussions. It also feels infantilizing towards vessel at times, hes a grown adult who put romantic/sexy elements in his music and he doesnt need people trying to protect him from those themes. Im rambling but this stuff pisses me off so much, this fandom needs to do better
Context post for the clueless ones - regarding my tags/replies
Here's the thing - I've been in fandoms for many, many, MANY years. This type of discussion isn't anything new nor unique to Sleep Token, but it sure does make a comeback quite often. It's tiring to keep repeating the same things over and over, but that's what fandom is all about isn't it?
Someone needs to say something, and I am not one to shy away from uncomfortable conversations like these. Something something, build your own community, be the change you wanna see, etc etc.
I've said pretty much everything I wanna say already under that post, but for the sake of clarity, and because I can't keep my mouth shut apparently -
Under the cut for length - you know the drill:
Music is art. And art is subjective. Meaning, each individual will have their own personal connection and interpretation of a given piece of art, which in this case is Sleep Token's music.
Did Vessel write the songs with a certain intent or meaning? Most likely yes! It's not hard to connect the dots and guess what events/emotions might've transpired and served as inspiration for them (accuracy to personal life is irrelevant and none of our business, but it's also no rocket science to understand what's been said).
Can we establish a base meaning for any given song, or better, can we have a general consensus of what a song is about based on its lyrics and themes? Absolutely! Not every song is like that, but we can all agree there's a lot of recurring themes of past relationships and mental health struggles.
Is it wrong to diminish the songs to one basic element (eg. the sexual undertones) and/or completely disregard the bigger, more important theme? I'd say it is.
Giving Atlantic as an example (which as a lot of you know, is my most favourite song of them and very dear to me): this one has some very blatant references to suicide and depression. Regardless of whether it is based on irl events or not (none of our business!!!), it is extremely heavy and emotionally charged. I find it incredibly disrespectful when people say random stuff during the rituals when he plays this one.
Or for example, how certain people reduce Sleep Token to "baby making metal", instead of acknowledging the insane (insane!) variety of genres and the profound lyricism they present.
Should we limit our views, and by extension, those of others, to surface-level interpretation, without allowing room for different views and interpretations, either fictional lore based or not? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Vessel himself said to "not restrict ourselves to labels or genres because music transcends it all" (paraphrasing here). It's literally their whole thing. It's very hypocritical to be shouting from the rooftops about "media literacy" and assuming people are stupid or idiots for not understanding the basic, surface-level meaning of a song, when Vessel himself constantly writes in metaphors and half-truths.
I've touched on this a lifetime ago on one of my analysis, but if you *actually* look at the lyrics, you'll realise Vessel hardly ever says what he means. There's always something else behind his words, something he purposefully keeps hidden. It really sneaks upon you sometimes! I'm over a year in and I still find something new everyday on their music. That man has a way to weave in a hundred and one statements under a single sentence, that is just truly beautiful to study.
Is, say, The Love You Want, about a man (Vessel) mourning the fact that his love isn't reciprocated? Yeah! Is it about someone who, despite knowing they can never receive from their lover the attention and affection and care they want, will stay by their side anyways? It is!
Is it about bitterness, spiteful accusations aimed at the one person who should love you fully? Or a reflection of how little self-regard the singer has, so much that they are willingly and actively choosing to stay in a sinking one-sided relationship, because the alternative is too painful to bare? Can you flip the switch and see it as someone who is obsessively pursuing another person, and painting themselves as a victim? All of this, yes!
You can even eliminate the romantic aspect all together and apply it to a relationship with the self (past or future, or an alter ego), or a parental figure. The options are endless. There isn't one universal truth when it comes to music, and as such, all of these takes are 100% correct.
Many statements can be true at the same time - it doesn't make one more true or correct than the other. Simply different. The way we connect with music is very much dictated by our own life experiences, and no two people have lived the exact same life.
Can you prefer a certain way to look at a song, or completely disagree with certain takes? Absolutely! I know I sure as hell do! That's normal and expected and part of the fun in being in a community such as ours. More people means more ways to look at a song - isn't that just wonderful?!
Now, this is very obvious for most of us, but some people, especially in the younger rage, have been taught to look at things in a very black and white way. Not to be that person, but the truth is that the rise in awareness of social issues and "pc-ness", is slowly starting to eliminate the possibility of things being flawed and nuanced.
If you're wrong, you're awful. If you're right, you're obnoxious. Made a mistake? Get cancelled. Grow from your mistakes, but not like that. Learn from your actions, but change your whole personality in a day otherwise you're problematic.
You know what I mean.
Life isn't black and white. Art isn't black and white. Music isn't black and white. What may seem like a toxic, dark, obsessive depiction of a relationship to you, might translate to the deepest and most truest of loves to me. I can acknowledge something is Not Right, while still drawing my own conclusions.
Is Blood Sport a sad af song? Yeah! Definitely not the first thing I'd think of when in a happy relationship. But maybe that's the point. And maybe I do. And that's okay, and none of anyone's business. "Okay but The Apparition isn't a good example of a healthy and romantic-" TO YOU! Maybe that's what love looks like to me! Maybe I just happen to be into it! And what about it?
Maybe to me love comes with all the ugly sides too. The violence, the despair, the self-doubt. Who are you to dictate what I can or can't think? I highly doubt Vessel would go 🗣️ "WRONG! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! >:::(", so why would you?
You can, and should, discuss the songs with others! Maybe some people do genuinely need a fresh pair of eyes to help them get to the juicy core of the songs - that's why we're here! To discuss, and exchange ideas! You can, and should, call people out when their engagement with the music is being harmful to others (joking and laughing during Missing Limbs? No bueno. Speculating about Vessel's personal life? VERY no bueno. Choosing a potentially weird song to walk down the aisle? None of your business + not your wedding + you weren't even invited + none of your business. Notice how I've been repeating that. Notice again).
You shouldn't, however, shame and ridicule others for having different views from you.
I think, rather than engaging in pointless discussions and start accusing people of being this or that, we should all exercise a little "don't like? scroll past". Is it harming you or others? No? Then scroll past! Is it an awful, truly horrendous take about something you're really passionate about? Okay! Disgusting! Scroll past! Good for them! 👍
Also - keep an open mind. We're all doing this living businesse for the first time, no one holds all the answers to everything. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to say the wrong thing and backtrack. It's okay to make a mistake and learn and grow.
You know what's not okay? Being a dick to others because the thing you like is being misinterpreted. It's hard, I know!!! You can block people! You can scroll past! You can look at pictures of your favourite vessel and cleanse your brain!!!! I know I do!!!!!
And this is a last afterthought but - you don't get to complain about the fandom you're in if you're doing nothing to change that. I see many, maaaaany of you bitch about this and that, while having 0 engagement aside from the bitching. Like?? Maybe if you spent more time reblogging cool art or gifs and less time whining about literally everything, this would be a much more pleasant space!! And I DO get to be a little petty here because I sure do try my best to make this a fun and nice community. I am allowed a little bitching 😌
Anyways, tl/dr: don't be a dick; don't like - don't engage; keep an open mind; gaze upon the vessels. Peace and love yall 💙💫

hi loves i’ve received asks from 2 Gazan’s to boost their GFM’s. one of them is vetted and appears very close to her goal, while the other is a new account but the GFM very honestly appears legitimate to me so i’ve decided to link it anyways, they have a smaller goal and are attempting to evacuate their remaining family out of Gaza 😞

it's funny; whatever bitter feelings i may harbour about some of the fandoms I used to be in (x files mostly lets be real), at least no one there ever told me i 'belong in jail' because they, in their infinite wisdom and expertise and unfailing, always 100% correct opinion, did not like the way my gifs looked <3

Genevieve Durant
She/Her Breton 24
Favored Skills: Alteration, Enchanting, Destruction
Other Skills: Block, Illusion, Restoration, Conjuration
The de-facto matriarch of the Durant family of Skingrad. A powerful wizard in her own right, she was nevertheless constantly in the shadow of the family's Heroic founder. Her unwillingness to have her own accomplishments be attributed to the Seventh Champion's lineage led her to developing her own unorthodox use and understanding of magic.
Ironically, not only was this very thing what set the Champion apart from her contemporary mages, but it was the discovery and subsequent deciphering of one of her old grimoires that put Genevieve above the other students of the Synod.
However, the discovery of spell effects either lost or jealously guarded by most modern magical institutions paled in comparison to other artifacts subsequently discovered. Deeds to remote magical towers in the Jerrals, ancient spellmaking and enchanting altars powered with pacts to obscure spirits, and many other magical relics thought lost to the Durant line were uncovered in the Arcane University. Things that by all rights belong to her now.
With the Synod's obsession over politics and hoarding power, it was no surprise that ownership would be contested. The last Archmage of the Third Era was a relative of the Seventh Champion of Cyrodiil, after all, and the sudden abandonment of his position left those possessions in the University's care.
Then there was the belief of Genevieve's...delicate state of mind putting into question whether she was fit to take care of them. It was no secret that the matriarchs of the Durant line were prone to madness, with jokes abounding about New Sheoth being their retirement homes. Genevieve herself couldn't deny it, as she was prone to visions that were as much a hindrance as help for her study of magic (and, of course, her mother's correspondence from the Shivering Isles).
One day, feeling the wear of years of disrespect and the general environment of academia in the Synod, she decided to take matters into her own hands and claim what was rightfully hers by force. Her ability to change the very nature of magic combined with forgotten knowledge made any magical defense trivial. Though it took silencing a few witnesses, she absconded with the relics and immediately made for her ancestral home.
She made plans to flee to the College of Winterhold to the north, but before she could leave she needed to collect one of the last people she trusted and cared for.

Quick outfit and hair ref. Once again just a slightly modified green farmer's clothes but blue. idk if the hair is actually possible with that much volume but ig it's either thin layers or Magic
Tumblr media
The Ribbon™
Thanks to playing games like the Tales series or Earthbound, I ended up really liking mages with unorthodox weapons.
For Genevieve it ended up being a cloth ribbon infused with magicka that she can manipulate at will. The obvious inspo is Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia) and Mami Tomoe (Puella Magi Madoka Magicka), but the primary influence is Annaig Hoinart from the Greg Keyes TES novels and the freaky invisible wrist-worm thing she "inherited" from Qijne that she uses to slice food and people.
I like to imagine it also comes in material tiers. Maybe Linen to Flannel to Silk to Velvet to Ebonthread to Ancestor Silk.
Anyways, doesn't actually have this in-game, obviously, but she does use plain old shields sometimes.
Tumblr media
More of The Ribbon
Yet another thing I can't really do in-game (yet?) is Genevieve's "unique" Alteration spells that are used offensively. Air/Gravity, Earth, and Water spells that deal physical damage and are relegated to the Alteration tree. I always envisioned her as a sort of anti-mage that can get around magic resistances thanks to that and her knowledge of Mysticism.
Anyway! Trivia time. Like her fraternal triplet Alois, Genevieve was one of my very first Skyrim characters (though I think at the time she was called Bernadette?) I think they ended up swapping skills and personality from their original incarnations lmao

Part of what's so annoying about feeling like shit in the "can't make myself do fucking anything" way is that I KNOW I would feel much less bad if I could just make myself DO fucking ANYTHING!!! Instead of just sitting here with the animal crossing clouds over my head thinking "I could watch wrestling but I don't really want to watch wrestling opening the folder with the videos in it is too much work I need to do my shot don't want to get up to do my shot I could just play something that would involve choosing what to play comitting to playing that and actually opening it and playing it I could watch something on youtube but then I'd need to pick what to watch and open youtube and move my screen over to the tv if it's something I want to watch on there" like JUST DO LITERALLY ANYTHING INSTEAD OF JUST STARING INTO SPACE AND WANTING TO DIE LITERALLY ANYTHING IS BETTER
