Yeah I’m Lgbt

have I ever mentioned how much I fucking hate meditation/mindfulness/etc

can I use parts of this idea? Lottie is so adorable I need to write about her now ❤️

💛☀️Thinking abt all the yellowjackets going on a trip to a farm/petting zoo and meeting up with Travis (he’s deffo a flip/uncle cg). Akilah dragging him off to go look at the bunnies immediately whilst Van, Melissa, Gen and Mari are chasing each other on those pedal go karts painted to look like tractors (Van is very much in cg space which makes the whole thing even funnier to imagine). Jackie, Shauna and Misty are all giggling copying the calves’ loud moos back to them after initially being startled, and when they get to the stables area Tai has to step in when they start bickering over which one of them is the pony’s favourite person. Lottie is sitting down on a tiny hay bale seat, super quiet and calmly feeding a baby lamb, whispering gently to it like her Mama does to her when she has her bottle, whilst Nat beams with pride.💛☀️

(I’m so close to sending this to someone as a fic request or acc tryna write it myself even tho I’ve never written fics before, but also my heart is gonna explode thinking about this😭)

I think I’ve been so conditioned by my friend group and my little corner of the internet that I’ve started being like. the opposite of heteronormative. homonormative. I was driving today and I saw two young women standing near to each other and went “omg lesbians!!!”

nothing about them remotely suggested that they were queer. I just saw two girls and automatically assumed they were gay and in love.

I believe that Kirkbride’s original idea for the Bosmer (as he outlined in the concept art you’re referencing (no, I don’t know why it’s a nexus link, that’s the only place I could find the version with his notes))

https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/105701/105701-1606858796-124772823.png

was the male and female bosmer represented two different sides of our fairy myths. The women are the ethereally beautiful, good (or at least noble), fae (descended from the gods of Celtic myth); Titania, the Tuatha de Danann, the Leannán Sídhe (Tolkien’s elves also are a deliberate reference to these fae) - while the men are the little, sometimes evil, or at least trickster, fairies that we find more in medieval stories; Puck, the Fomorians, coblynau, pixies, boggarts, kobolds, etc.

to put it another way: the women are goddesscore and the men are rodentpilled

Also, for what it’s worth, Kirkbride wrote that the men have “lost their power of glamour”, so it could be that women are also ugly, they just use magic to conceal their appearance. Which is also very fae.

You know what bugs me? Bosmer males. Look, idk how ESO does things, but from Morrowind to Oblivion they seem to be the butt of a joke that just says, aren't short men with squeaky voices funny and juvenile and stupid and ripe for mockery? (Fargoth, Gaenir, Glarthir, The Adoring Fan. I don't remember any Bosmer in Skyrim, but then I haven't played Skyrim since like 2015.) Plus there's that old lore about how the Bosmeri women are hot and the men are not, and frankly, fuck that. Where the short king Bosmer at? (Please share any cool Bosmeri male OCs with me.)

Can we just acknowledge that Lottie is the only person we ever see Nat accept comfort from? Throughout the series, in both timelines, Nat suffers alone and in silence. Travis reaches out to touch her after both Javi and Coach Ben’s deaths, but she walks past him in both instances. When she finds Travis’ body, Misty attempts to comfort her but Nat pushes her away. Whenever Nat breaks down, she turns inward, shutting others out instead of seeking connection. Nowhere is this more evident than in the final moments of 3x09, when she begins to sob and everyone around her vanishes, leaving her utterly alone. It’s a visual metaphor for the profound isolation that defines how Nat experiences pain.

Given the nature of Nat’s home environment, I don’t think she ever learned how to accept tenderness and physical intimacy beyond sex. It’s foreign to her. And, on a deeper level, I think she doesn’t believe she deserves this kind of intimacy and unconditional care.

But, in this moment with Lottie, she finally allows herself to be held. For what might be the first time in her life, she feels safe enough to surrender, to lean into someone else’s care without flinching. She even feels safe enough to regress to a younger version of herself, a form of healing her inner child as she lays her head on Lottie’s lap. We see Nat engage in simple hello or goodbye hugs (or moments of sexual intimacy) with other characters, but Lottie is truly the only character Nat physically embraces in this unguarded, emotionally vulnerable way.

red china, as opposed to blue and purple china

generally the colour people use for anti-communism is white. but the KMT’s flag was blue so I’ll accept it.

I say “red China” to distinguish the illegitimate government in Beijing from the Republic on Taiwan. “Red” is quicker to type than “communist” or “mainland”.

it’s so insane to see all the red note posts? like you realize this app is owned by fascists right. you realize that you’re on an authoritarian government’s state owned propaganda machine.

history fact: this is not historically accurate, Caesar actually planned to stay home with his wife that day because she had a nightmare about him dying and didn’t want him to go

and then decimus brutus came by and said “lmao are you going to listen to a WOMAN? nerd” so of course he had to go

guys, not to spoil anything but i have an announcement! everyone on tbe 15th of March, let's all go to the senate so I can tell you guys! 🫃

yeah it says our society is based as fuck

this says a lot about our society as a whole

she’s JUST like me

melissa had a KNIFE held to her THROAT and went oh i need to kiss this girl right now I'M CRYINGG
