You know, it's funny that goats should be so prevalent in the magical Skyrim universe, as the internet might just say that the Elder Scrolls: #skyrim is the G.O.A.T. of video games. If not the internet, Dear Reader, then at least we here at Tumblr. We who have spent countless hours wandering the misty mountains, battling dragons, bartering with NPCs, staring out across the landscape, and, of course, Shouting various goats from the rock face and into the abyss below. That'll learn 'em. Countless hours, countless fun. Fuuuus, Ro Dah!
For whatever joyous reason, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim finds itself trending on Tumblr today. Which is total delight for us. It is quite simply one of the greatest games ever to materialize on our screens and a beautiful, enchanting world that remains every bit as popular more than *ten years* after its first release. And for very good reason.
Happy Tuesday, folks. Why not celebrate with 20 Quotes From Skyrim That Are Absolutely Hilarious x
since orome is obviously the family vala (with aule coming in second) the group costume theme that year was orome. (they do a different vala each year)
yes celegorm does in fact have a horse, yes his horse does actually look somewhat like nahar, and yes he put a rubber horse mask on huan instead.
instead of doing orome + a friend, ambarussa are doing Tall Orome (they did rock paper scissors for who gets to be the head).
aredhel and galadriel show up as orome & vana, but halfway through the party galadriel pops into the bathroom and converts her costume to tulkas:
Bonus: Maglor forgot what the theme was and showed up dressed as a crab
i have very particular tastes in blorbos and they’re all either: depressed, vaguely androgynous, generally unwell with unhealthy vices, or otherwise Suffering™
problem is i keep collecting them like pokemon cards lately so i have to send my bf updates on the blorbos infecting my peanut brain like this
Context: me simping for Dolores the Sleeping Arrow again
Being an ash that uses the player model, Dolores causes my penchant for summoning hot girls and my penchant for making my character look like hot girls to collide in unpleasant ways.
Really funny how More Fun Comics #73 introduced two of DC's most popular superheroes, both of whom had wildly different Golden Age origins than any other origin since, and yet both origins are on completely different axis of 'would be cool if they were an Elseworld story someday'.
To whit, Aquaman's Golden Age origin sees his father as an undersea explorer who discovers the ruin of Atlantis, and uses their advanced technology to grant his infant son the ability to breathe underwater and communicate with sea-life. I'd be really interested in a modern take on this idea - I did see a fanart a few years back that reimagined Golden Age Aquaman as a tech hero, old-school divers suit and all, and hell it would even be cool to have an Aquaman story not focused on Atlantis, but instead on Aquaman as Protector of the Seas.
On the other hand, Golden Age Oliver Queen is a white guy who has... ahem, ""gathered"" a huge collection of Native American* artifacts and cultural relics, which he keeps for himself and used to train himself in archery and the like, before all of the artifacts are destroyed when criminals burn his house down. Oliver seeks out a secret, long-lost Native American* city and runs into Roy Harper when his plane crashes. Roy has been on the island the city is buried under for years, with his only companion being Quoag, his Native American* ""manservant"" who talks like every racist Asian caricature from the Golden Age because I guess the writers were too used to writing WWII propaganda to be creative in their racism. Anyway, thieves show up, Quoag dies and is immediately forgotten, they force in some really painful references to Green Arrow and Speedy (like, if you thought the reasoning for Speedy's name in Arrow being 'Oliver's sister does drugs' was painfully forced...) and eventually Oliver and Roy find the Native American* city, which is made out of solid gold because... reasons. Rather than tell anyone about it, Oliver and Roy decide to dismantle the city, sell it brick by brick, and use the money to become wealthy, and also fund their superhero exploits because apparently they decided that was a good idea.
If DC ever brings back Golden Age Oliver Queen under any circumstances and the story doesn't end with Modern Ollie and Roy teaming up to shank him and redistribute his wealth, I'm going to kill someone.
*I say 'Native American' knowing that it's incredibly broad, but the comic doesn't offer a specific group. It also... doesn't call them Native Americans, which I'm pretty sure you can guess.
