“Here in my hands is the only remaining copy of the complete 36 Lessons of Vivec. He must’ve been quite the teacher to have to write so many lessons for the people of Morrowind. Only nobody can figure out what they mean, so it’s more like The 36 Chapters of Absolute Drivel if you ask me.”

long story short Homs n I were joking about TES live action and "Henry Cavill as Nerevar" stuff and I think I've said it before but I firmly believe that if they ever do a TES show they have to get Diane Morgan. Even aside from my Cunk on Morrowind post I feel like she has the face for it.

Heeey guys °_°

I finished this thing. Finally. I had fun but it was also really exhausting. I'll probably do more though -w- Sorry for the blood again.

I'm not that experienced in making comics so sorry if it looks a bit awkward.

So yeah! Anyway! Here's this comic thing with Rasha. This is basically how I think the story would go with her. I'll be adding a lot of stuff for my own pleasure so sorry if some stuff later will end up different from the canon story!

I like to imagine that Nerevar's spirit shows up when Rasha arrives to Morrowind but I also figured that it would be too easy cause he could just tell her everything in that situation. So... I decided to take away his face at the start of the story. It makes sense because Rasha has absolutely no idea who Nerevar is. He'll regain his face when Rasha learns a bit more about the whole situation she's in.

maormer again, yes

Can the Maormer cut their tongues in half to look like snakes? it would be cool…

dreadlocks are cool

This year I watched Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and was amused by the moment when a half-naked pirate caught a saber in his teeth and threw his attacker overboard the ship. Then I remembered how last year I drew a half-naked fish pirate who caught an oar in his teeth.

geniuses think alike.

It is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

And I have some big feelings, as a part of the diaspora. Remembrance Day is an inappropriate title for a time in which Armenians still face genocidal forces. Just last year, Azerbaijan, armed by Turkey, ethnically cleansed over 280,000 Armenians from Artsakh. The illegal colonizer state of Israel, currently in the midst of their 6+ month-long genocide against the Palestinians, has placed the Armenians who call Jerusalem home under threat and siege.

The Armenian struggle and the Palestinian struggle are deeply linked.

In his rise to power, Hitler is quoted to justify his actions against the Jewish, Roma, Queer, Disabled, and other victims of the Holocaust, to say "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Echoing these chilling words, Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish wrote:

Who Remembers the Armenians? I remember them and I ride the nightmare bus with them each night and my coffee, this morning I'm drinking it with them You, murderer - Who remembers you?

The trauma sustained during a genocide is not limited to the people experiencing it right now. The echoes of that trauma leak forward into the next generations, passed down through survival, and that is so insidious. My grandmother got to live, but did so believing that her parents did not love her, because the trauma they endured prevented them from expressing it. Abuse and unhealthy attachment were passed down because that starving hunger for love and acceptance was passed down. It is so deeply cruel and unfair that our oppressors get to reach through time and hurt our children's children.

We need to band together and stop the present-day abusers, the genocidal monsters that oppress the people of Palestine, Armenia, Congo, and so many others.

We need to uplift art made by those who survived, and by those who are surviving. Art is always targeted by the oppressor to erase cultural identity, to destroy legacy, and to break spirits. Support Palestinian and Armenian poets, and artists, and writers.

If you are one of the many who never learned about the Armenian Genocide, learn today. Ask yourself why people worked so hard not to educate you on this piece of history.

Today we remember the Armenian Genocide and Honor its 1.5 Million Victims

“I became interested in genocide, because it happened so many times. It happened to the Armenians and after the Armenians, Hitler took action.” ~ Raphael Lemkin

We call on Turkey, the nation responsible, to own its history and recognize the victims. Thankfully, on June 2, 2016, the German Bundestag (Parliament) almost unanimously (with one vote against and one abstention) passed a resolution qualifying the Ottoman-era Armenian killings ‘genocide’. Denial of the genocide is criminalized. Punishable by up to 3 years in prison and a fine not to exceed €30,000, per act. If your country hasn’t  recognized the Armenian genocide until now, call or write to your Representative and demand action. It’s 108 years today, that the 1.5 million victims, who were robbed of their homes, lives, and dignity should finally receive the justice a world that looked away since 1915 owes them. 

If you lack knowledge of the Armenian Genocide, there are countless resources you can use:

”One hundred years ago, on the night of April 24, 1915, the genocide of more than 1,500,000 Armenians began. The first to be singled out and massacred were the leaders and intellectuals of the Armenian communities in Ottoman Turkey; when it was over, two out of three Armenians living in that country had perished–the victims of a systematic extermination of Turkey’s Armenian population.

The entire Armenian population was uprooted from its indigenous homeland, which it had inhabited for over 3,000 years.

Hundreds of Armenian churches, monasteries, schools, and cultural centers in Ottoman Turkey were destroyed.

Raphael Lemkin–who first coined the term “genocide” and is considered the father of the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention–cited the fate of Ottoman Turkey’s Armenian population as an example of what constituted a genocide.

In their brutality, the Ottoman Turks set the tone for the 20th century: a dreadful tone which would be heard again in the Nazi death camps, in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in Rwanda and Darfur. And it echoes ominously in our own time, in desperate places where “ethnic cleansing” has become a policy of state, instead of a crime before man and God.” (The Diocese of the Armenian Church of America [Eastern])

Armenians have lived in Jerusalem for 1,600 years and Armenian Palestinians are the oldest group in the Armenian diaspora. From their indigenous land in Artsakh to the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem, Armenians have been facing ethnic cleansing and persecution on multiple fronts. With the escalating genocidal violence in Gaza and the West Bank, armed settler encroachment into Armenian holdings in Jerusalem has fallen under the radar of some pro-Palestine activism and it is critical we do not allow this to happen.

Some context:

( In 1948, Armenians in Jerusalem numbered about 16,000. Today, that number has shrunk; estimates range from 700-1000, with a smaller community in Bethlehem. )

“We are not the objectives of the Israelis, but we occupy a huge chunk of Jerusalem. The fact that we’re here is an obstacle for them, but we’ve been here for 1,600 years and we’re not going anywhere.” "These are only the most visible of the challenges facing the community....Israeli discrimination, economic decline, and political insecurity have taken a toll on Armenians, encouraging emigration. A century after the community was nearly annihilated, Armenian Palestinians today say they feel deeply at home in the Holy Land, but fear how much longer they will be able to hold on."

“Don’t ask me about the massacres that happened 100 years ago [1915],” Annie Guluzian said when asked about her experiences as an Armenian Palestinian. “I won’t open [up about] those topics. Because if I do, I will start talking about my brother who was martyred by the Israelis in the [second] Intifada.” The toll of the Israeli occupation in Palestine is what defines her life today, Guluzian added.

Since October 26th, 2023, when the leader of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem announced it would cancel a once-secret 2021 land lease deal with a real estate company that has alleged links to settler interests, the company, Xana Gardens, has sent in armed settlers and bulldozers to steal the land (including Armenian Chruch property and several Armenian families). Armenians have been resisting the occupational forces day in and day out.

In response, Armenians have created an account on Twitter called SaveTheArq which has been documenting and updating on social media the recent land demolitions by Israeli settlers in the Armenian quarter, they have also launched a fundraiser for legal actions to protect the Armenian quarter and I highly recommend donating, if you can't, please share it around:

I will never get over the fact that thousands of Armenians were massacred in 2020. The grief that has been left behind in their passing. The lives they were meant to live. I shouldn’t be seeing graves marked with the dates “2001-2020”.

These people were not killed in a war, they were killed in a genocide. They were murdered defending their native land against colonizers. Those who seek to use and destroy our land for its natural resources. Those who wish to see Indigenous populations destroyed or Turkified.

Armenians have been resisting genocide and Turkification since the Turks entered our highlands in the 10th century.

I understand the complexities of many Azerbaijani’s and today’s Turks being mixed with the indigenous populations of our region— including Armenians. However, that acknowledgment can only go so far when they choose to identify with the colonizing group, and commit genocide against indigenous people that resisted assimilation. When you choose to identify with the colonizer, when you take on their identity, you become them. You are them.

Turkey filing a case against the genocide of Palestinians in the International Criminal Court.

While also actively committing a genocide against the Armenian's and Kurdish people.

Feels like the modern day equivalent of Winston Churchill preaching about fighting against tyranny, in particularly against Nazi Germany.

While also being very much for gestures to the entire British empire... That.

Oh yeah we totally value innocent lives and are absolutely against cruelty and genocide... But it's fine when we do it.

That's different.

[ Revenge ]

> During the carnage, Sotha Sil arrived with Almalexia to Mournhold, and engaged the Prince of Destruction in the battlefield that was lit by a barrage of flame which fell indiscriminately. Almalexia plunged Hopesfire into Dagon's flesh and carved him from within. Meanwhile, Sotha Sil, enacting vengeance for Ald Sotha, used god-bronze whips to lash the Prince into submission.

In this battle Sotha Sil received his scar, which he later began to cover with a brass helmet. Mehrunes Dagon wounded him with his Dagger of the Final Wounds.
