#Racist Curious

TES still microwaves my brain constantly just haven't had a "main" char to focus on rn other than my current Yazara play thru. But while hanging around Markarth I've been thinking about making a Forsworn character. I'd really like to explore that part of the lore more and perhaps use it as an opportunity to rewrite and redesign the reachmen to be well.. less... ya know. Because I find them suuuper interesting and a part of elder scrolls and esp skyrim lore that could be so unique and interesting if actually given some time and thought.

My main thoughts abt what i'd do with them are;

Have their culture and appearance focus more on their connection to hagravens, folk magic and old pre-imperial gods.

Perhaps they wear primarily leather and animal hide because of bosmeri influence? (during the merethic era)

ehh thats all i got so far

im thinking for the oc i have in mind, maybe the daughter of a hagraven or witch who's invested in the politics of the reachmen issue. Also thought maybe could make a good LDB character, but idk if i wanna have two LDB as i would have to juggle different timelines. i feel like she would make a good adopted daughter of my ldb tho so maybe could do smth with that?

edit: for the record i havent read up on ESO's interpretation of reachmen yet, just going off what ive read/seen in skyrim. it'll be taken into account lol

So what is it about the 1830s that Taylor swift is actually into

I finished reading Sha Po Lang today. I don't think I'll have time to get into all my thoughts for a few days, but there's a really interesting essay to be written about how this novel's themes compare to Tai Sui's. Both novels are about the end of one era and the start of another, but each story's protagonist (and each story as a whole) goes about fighting corruption and societal decay in very different ways. Sha Po Lang is a story about fixing a failing country from the inside by working within the system—it's a story celebrating a Good Emperor. Tai Sui is, for the most part, about systems that are corrupt and oppressive by nature and must be torn down and equalized to elevate the common people. That's a hell of a change in viewpoint for novels written by the same author six years apart.

In the Cars movies,

Would the word to describe someone who discriminates on ethnicity still be racist?

Or would it be mobileist?

Since they're modes of transport and not people??

NOTE: THIS IS NOT ABOUT HAVING CITIZENSHIP IN THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN. Having citizenship doesn't make you stop being an immigrant. You still moved lol. (Just cos ive legit met people who say im no longer an immigrant cos i have citizenship. Like... No king. I'm still not from here.)

Im just genuinely curious. There's obvs more nuance when it comes to immigration vs being a native citizen of the country you live in, but the poll is simplistic for the sake of getting clear numbers. But the button is there should u wish to press it.

learned partially how to make head mods for bg3 finally (clothing next????) but I think I’m going to keep them for personal use… nexus has turned into such a shit hole for bg3 modding. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed such a toxic modding community
