On a semi-related note: I wonder if “Talos The God” was partially possible due to the hole in mankind’s psyche from Lorkhan/Shor/Shezzar. There isn’t a god of mankind in the Divines, and that’s a flaw for a very human empire- Talos fills this gap without having to address the “devil” aspect of Lorkhan and gives a (much needed) propaganda bump for the empire.

A mortal* CAN ascend- Mannimarco is some sort of proof of that. Was the ascension of Tiber Septim something similar? But if so… what was his power source? He lacked anything like the Heart of Lorkhan or the Numidium, or even the weirdness of a dragon break. So that makes it feel more like a propaganda move.

Also by “ascending” to the pantheon of Aedra he becomes a lot harder to communicate with than a Daedra would be- you can whistle up a Daedric Prince on certain dates! But for the most part you have to be a saint or a prophet (or a madman) to talk to the divines and have them answer. (With an extremely notable exception at the end of the third era)

*yes, yes, he claimed he was Aldmer, and he was definitely ridiculously old even before lichdom. Aldmer are still being counted as mortal for these purposes, since he definitely wasn’t et’Ada.

Safe return.

“You’re alive!”

“You made it back.

We both did.”

Thinking about Ulfric and Galmar as young legion soldiers both making it out of a bloody battle from which the legion had to eventually retreat (considering the Thalmor were probably kicking the empire’s ass) Only after the chaos has finally settled did they manage to find each other alive and well after.

Don’t think it was possible to ever separate them in battle after this one time. Alongside Rikke of course. Then you have yourself the coolest imperial trio. You’d wish you were them in highschool.

Look at this fucking bear (derogatory)

[incorrectskyrimquotes]

if you're not on r/skyrimmemes good but you're missing mod drama bc one of the mods is a stormcloak and ulfric defender but for all the worst and dumbest reasons

[whiterunguard]

why is ulfric in tes castles but tullius isn't. DO NOT SEPARATE THEM THEY ARE BONDED ANIMALS

[starcleere]

*Battle for Fort Dunstad*

No one:

Cary and Tally:

"YOUR MOTHER CAN'T SAVE YOU NOW"

"YOU HAVEN'T MET MY FATHER"

---------

Also:

Lucia: I saw a Thalmor the other day. He was really scary!

Nyra, side-eyeing Tally and Cary: Is that so...

(Meanwhile, the real culprit is Nebarra)

Ulfric is not only a racist and a weirdo but also a colonizer, according to 'the bear of Markarth', which recounts how the man led a charge against the relatively peaceful forsworn city, stealing it from them even as they were in the works of getting recognised as an official hold.

Repost from another account, but I just love the idea of a Fem!Ralof trying so hard to get Ulfric's attentions only for his gay ass to daughter-zone her at every turn

[smalllonelyegg]

skyrim really does show you a bunch of indigenous people who faced genocide and are like "that's why they're eeeeevil, now go on and kill them" instead of actually sympathizing with them huh.

Well at least there are definitely no real world implications to deal with *I say knowingly*

[vox-off]

i will give skyrim props for making both sides of the civil war acutely unlikeable

[storm-of-feathers]

well its been a year. and here is my full and honest advice to anyone who wants to start a sexyman poll:

dont <3

[idalynsskyrimdiaries]

When I was little, I was a naive supporter of the Stormcloaks. In my late teens, my characters were mostly locked in with the Imperial Legion because of my realization of the rebellion's many flaws.

In current times, I am deeply ashamed. How did I go from an innocent Stormcloak defender to a Thalmor lap-dancer in the span of a few years?? And I know I'm not alone in that regard, how the fuck did we get here?? 😭

[cosmic-cris-draws]

Kind of insane for you to be the only blonde bitch out of your siblings, truly showing you are doomed by the fucking narrative

[whiterunguard]
