did I prove OP’s point? I don’t think so

I offered that anecdote to draw a parallel between two people who I thought were similar.

Horner disliked tyrannosaurs because he preferred hadrosaurs, and thus tried to prove that tyrannosaurs were Objectively Bad.

Op dislikes lottienat because they prefer mistynat, and thus in this post attempted to prove that lottienat is Objectively Bad. *Are you picking up what I’m putting down?*

My point was that it’s fine to dislike something but going this far is just… kind of pointless. Let people enjoy things. I don’t go around posting about how mistynat is evil and bad and no one should ship it ever, even though I prefer lottienat.

can we talk about how lottienats disregard travnat/ mistynat/travis/misty as characters for their ship? they're insanely important to nat. and disregarding them means disregarding nat's development, drives, and ideals. they literally changed nat's perspective and character. like do you even care about lottienat as characters? and the whole 'i hate men so i'll ignore him and misty's a freak so i'll ignore her' like way to strip natalie of possibly the narratively two most important people to her

and i fear lottienats have a super surface level understanding be another thing is like. whether you like travnat/travis or not he's important for her characters development and drive for her entire life. there's a reason why travis haunts her story, whether you like him or not you gotta understand why he's fundamental for her character

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.)

firzgerald really sat down and went “hm today I will put an nazi in my novel”

all the people criticizing Vance for “not being a good enough catholic” need to get a fucking grip. there are SO MANY THING to criticize Vance and every member of that administration for which aren’t “he’s not good at being a cult member”

temporarily back on my vampire bullshit

I don’t know how much Furher Putin is paying you to act like an idiot online, but I hope it’s a lot.

woke up to a lot of anon hate today (which, by the way, is a fundamentally cowardly way to argue online. if you want to spit in my face at least have the decency to show yours.) I assume most of it was spurred by my rather uncharitable response to a Russia simp.

let me make one thing absolutely clear. if you have any positive feeling at all towards modern Russia, you are not welcome here. The Russian state is fundamentally and unimpeachably evil. It is a reactionary and autocratic nation ruled by the union of fascists, oligarchs, and the Church. Nothing of it is good. Nothing is redeemable. If a just god existed, Russia would burn forever in hellfire.

If you must do this damn silly thing, don’t do it in this damn silly way.
