i know its probably been done to death but i love the concept of the shivering isles as only a realm of "madness" insofar as no one in tamriel has a concept of what neurodiversity or mental illness is lmao

#like. 'mad' being used as a catch-all term for someone who is just neurodivergent or otherwise acting in a way ppl cant understand #shivering isles #sheogorath #(i am by no means well read abt neurodivergent perspectives im just speaking as a neurodivergent person relating to it) buut #i think its interesting to reframe sheogorath as more of a partly-benevolent figure. not wholly but just a bit #who (if he feels like it) takes in ppl who would ordinarily suffer bc others might try to hurt/'cure' them‚ and lets them be free #'free' to act how theyd like in peace (but also if im being honest also enabling potentially-harmful behaviors)#(like i love you relmyna but also holy shit. lmao)#(and sheogorath is def NOT like. 'good' or a staunch advocate for healthy behavior or morality sjnfjsdfdsf. so double edged sword)#personally. ik no one in tamriel would understand my ocd (for example) but i think sheogorath might go 'oh yes! i get that sometimes'#<- but that might just be wish fulfilment on my part. teehee #enochtalk
