Every time I start the DB this is how I imagine this scene goes pretty much.

Today is Fifth of First Seed, Hermaeus Mora's Summoning Day! We have reasonable evidence to believe that Hermaeus Mora enjoys books, so if you choose to summon him today, perhaps regale him with recommendations of your favorite obscure novels.

I logged back in to tumblr just to see ur thoughts on the Oblivion remake that's probably being revealed tomorrow. May I point out they're still using the imperial city guard as their stand-in for the self insert main character and idk that tickles me Youtube link /watch?v=Ed_E2crglcw

So I've been pretty out of the fucking loop and not on my dashboard much, so this ask plus the series of searches I just did to confirm it is the first I've heard that bethesda is almost definitely doing a fucking OBLIVION REMAKE LMAO.

There is still a part of me that's like 'ouugghhhh it might actually be really cool to see Oblivion made with better graphics and a more fleshed out world, even just visually.... perhaps they will even.... do some rewriting??!!?'. But I will be extremely shocked if Bethesda has gone an extra mile to improve the quest/story content, and genuinely the potato faces and stilted voice acting and 50% of the characters being voiced by Wes Johnson are SO fundamental to Oblivion's tone and experience it will probably feel like an entirely different game even if they keep all the quests and dialogue 1:1, and probably not for the better. Like Oblivion's quest writing Does have some legitimate high notes (mostly Shivering Isles and the first half of the DBH, and some standalones) but I think it gets wayyyyy too much credit for having good quests. While playing it you (maybe) let a lot of stuff go because the visuals and voice acting just put you into this dreamlike clown universe where it's like, yeah, I guess that can happen (and the tone itself really Is intentionally silly at times).

Like what's it going to be like to get to the end of a really feeble and badly written mages guild questline where you're finally confronting MANNIMARCO KING OF WORMS, WHO MANTLED THE NECROMANCERS MOON and etc and he DOESN'T fucking look like this

The questline probably won't be any better (unless they're actually rewriting shit, and even then probably won't be any better) AND you're denied the sight of its allegedly powerful and intimidating antagonist standing barefoot in a cave in a hot topic bathrobe. This will be my 9/11.

Why does pretty much every game except the one that takes place in Cyrodiil lean into Ancient Roman aesthetics for Cyrodiil and the Empire? Why are the only Roman aesthetics in Oblivion shit built by the Ayleids? Why is the one game where I could've been in fantasy Rome generic fantasy Europe??? Where is my fantasy Rome DAMMIT!!!!!

Thinking about my non-dragonborn Skyrim characters again (cause I'm finishing the last art for Genevieve's bio finally) and with Oblivion In Vogue and them being the descendants of my Champion of Cyrodiil I once again hold to my headcanon that

Imperials and Bretons are virtually the same thing aside from facial features given the years of cultural exchange, similar origins of slavery under Mer, and that Oblivion has an obscene amount of Breton NPCs to the point where they're also inexplicably in largely Imperial families. Also the fact that Oblivion turned Cyrodiil into High Rock Lite

If it weren't for the fact that they have the Sharp Features™ and long ears and also that the men that married into the family were from High Rock, I'd consider Alois and Genevieve Colovians in spite of their ancestry and their dad's attempt to teach them about his home province.

Same world, same place.

Just 200 years apart.

Running through Bruma in the 3rd Era (Oblivion Remaster) to compare it with 200 years of change in the 4th Era (Beyond Skyrim: Bruma), fills me with a kind of yearning that only the concept of time marching ever onward can do to me.

It's why I love time travel stuff so much :)

Chapter 3: The Beast

How you long to sever the arm that wields the blade as if that were the source of your corruption, as if you can run from the bones that shape you, as if you too are not a weapon.

Back in 2014, Star Trek Into Oblivion was the third Kelvinverse Star Trek movie, set to be directed by Roberto Orci. They did concept art, location scouting and casting. Then everything went quiet and Star Trek Beyond, directed by Justin Lin, was announced and rushed into production.

After reading this, I'm very glad Orci was dropped from Trek and vanished from Hollywood altogether:

Day 6 of asking Mark-senpai to notice me

Asking how likely an Elder Scrolls UB would be and what he thinks the Dragonborn’s color identity would be, but he hasn’t answered :(

It might be one of the questions he can’t answer but I will remain undeterred

The return of Mathieu Bellamont Angst Hours.

Chapter Two: Without

Summary: What are you without him?

Little Brother, they call you, eyes forever gliding past the slip of a boy that you are, dearest Mathieu who does always what he’s told. It’s easy to make yourself small, barely there, so sickly a sight that all those who look wish to unsee you. It’s second nature to not exist to others, first to die, and you don’t need to be known by anyone here anyway; all they’ve ever looked for was the blood on your hands to recognize you as one of their own
