Crazy how quiet everybody was and is about chechnya. Like lgbt people are being tortured and murdered by chechen officials and by their own family and people. When the news first broke out in 2017 there was barely any posts on tumblr despite the fact that we found out a literal gay purge was happening and now the documentary about it was released two days ago and im one of the only people doing posts about it here on tumblr. Honestly the most heartbreaking part about the documentary wasnt all the fucked up things but the fact despite these horrible fucking things happening nobody cares barely anybody is talking about it. Youd think a website with huge amounts of lgbt users would make this trend but no when you go in the tags theres literally less than ten new posts. Putin isnt gonna do shit about it the lgbt chechens and the people evacuating them need support from other countries russia is not gonna fucking help them. Every day this fucking site is filled with stupid lgbt discourse and shit that doesnt fucking matter but when an actual gay purge happens and actual people are being murdered and tortured yall decide to be quiet and do absolutely nothing.
1.) solitude: wealthy, well-protected, festive, and boasting an exciting arts scene. this is the best place to live in skyrim. as long as you respect that free speech is not welcome here (unless you’re dressing it up in layers upon layers of inscrutable metaphor and calling it skaldic verse), you’ll do just fine. religious sorts and imperial sycophants will also appreciate solitude’s good old alessian values.
2.) whiterun: let’s be clear that there are actually only two good places to live in skyrim, and this is the other one. fair and respected leadership, a strong sense of town pride, and convenient access to just about anywhere else you’d like to go. one thing to consider is that the walls are terrible, and there’s about a 70% chance your house will be burned down with you in it if a dragon or stormcloak trebuchets come rolling by.
3.) riften: mild climate and beautiful views. plenty of employment opportunities both above and below ground, if you don’t mind that you’ll essentially be working for the same people at any of them. you won’t be allowed to get too ambitious, but that’s OK, because there’s a great sense of camaraderie among the diverse and hugely exploited working class.
4.) dawnstar: obviously chilly, but the port is busy and the mines are well-producing enough that their proprietors are taking out hits on one another. awe-inspiring sunrises over the sea and a somewhat picturesque, mysterious, maybe malignant tower overlooking the town. leadership is horrendous but easily ignored and will hopefully die of old age soon.
5.) falkreath: lovely pine forests, though the dour weather often makes it difficult to appreciate them. quirky sorts will find themselves right at home with the town’s singular fascination with death, and if you know someone who’s likely to die soon, there’s a sweet little family in the area who can help put them to rest. you might also be introduced to falkreath’s historic cemetery through having the jarl sic his bandits on you.
6.) morthal: seat of the poorest hold in skyrim, so not an ideal launching pad for your latest business venture. the remote and revolting location makes it seem like a good place to retire if you’re looking to withdraw from the outside world, but be aware that the outside world might still come creeping in from the bog. and eat you. or turn you into a vampire. or any other number of horrific things that the locals boredly chat about.
7.) winterhold: if you weren’t born in winterhold, it’s already too late to move in. the people follow a traditional nordic way of life that involves complaining loudly about how much they hate it here, but they will kill you if you agree with them. mages are so far removed from municipal life that the college of winterhold might as well be considered its own settlement for you magic users out there, but only a slightly better one.
8.) markarth: home to the greatest class disparity in the province. people from all walks of life travel through markarth, and half of them end up prison labor. if you want to live in skyrim without feeling like you live in skyrim, this completely backwards, hateful city is just waiting to murder you with its sheer drops and unmaintained 4000 year old stairs. afterwards, your broken body will support markarth’s popular farm-to-table movement.
9.) windhelm: everything bad about markarth, plus the fact that it’s also cold as the void itself. this is the worst place to live in skyrim. with one exception: if you care about history at the cost of your fingers and toes (and if you’re a woman, maybe also your spleen and your entire life), this could be the place for you. talos-deniers need not apply.
I haven’t shaken this quote nor the need to play Bioshock with Septimus as a character since last night, so here have this.
Audio Transcript:
*radio whine, distant music throughout* Septimus: Well, we’ve been speaking to the other side for thousands of years and our understanding evolves and changes with the passing of the years but the core remains the same. We’re all just reaching for the same truth and describing it in different ways, I imagine. *radio whine* *bioshock noise*
How everyone hopes to play Call of Cthulhu:
How it usually turns out:
Gender affirming surgery of give me elf ears
Have a dump of the outfits I've done for Animal Crossing New Horizons so far:
It is that old Horrid Phobias Lovecraft’s birthday today. And I am delighted to be seeing his ideas of cosmic horror being torn from his cold, shriveled, horrid hands. That the concepts of the unknown aren’t being co-opted into HP’s own prejudices.
