hermaeus “interior design is my passion” mora needs to learn how to take better care of his books. “i’m the daedric prince of knowledge and fate–” oh, are you?? are you really?? because this doesn’t look like the room of someone who knows jack about shit. i keep a messy space too, but this is too much. you’ve got hundreds of eyes that let you see into everyone’s business both past and future, an indeterminate amount of limbs to help you pick this mess up, and yet you can’t figure out how to acquire and assemble a few bookshelves to start putting this place in order??? the seekers that live here have at least four arms each, and they can create doppelgangers of themselves, so if for some reason your countless tentacles aren’t enough i’m sure they could lend you some extra hands if you asked nicely!! i know you know the word “please”
listen, i understand you have an eldritch aesthetic going, and you need to keep the habitat at a certain humidity for your fishhead monsters to thrive – i can definitely respect maintaining an ecological niche for an endemic (possibly endangered?) species – but this is no way for a boundless cosmic entity to curate a library!! you probably don’t need alphabetical order or the dewey decimal system, you automatically know where everything is because it’s in your nature to see everything at all times, but at LEAST don’t let your books get all soggy!! not everyone can see in four+ dimensions, SOME of us need to actually READ books instead of just absorbing the knowledge through the ether, and it’s really hard to enjoy a good book when the pages are all sticking together!! 0/10, please invest in a wet vacuum. and never let Urag gro-Shub see this, he would probably faint.
while we’re on the subject of daedra shaming, can we talk about what the absolute fuck is going on with mehrunes dagon’s realm of oblivion???
like???
why am i suddenly trapped in a heavy metal album cover??? the only color palette that exists is red and black??? did this guy die in a hot topic in previous life or something??? is that linkin park echoing over the sound system??? and the only furniture in sight is those pulsating anatomically correct hearts filled with loot and the occasional Very Sharp Bench. has dagon never heard of a fucking throw pillow??? hey dagon!!! raw meat is not a valid flooring option!!!
and every area has a name like “Blood Feast” or “Rending Halls” or “Corridors of Dark Salvation” or “Sump of Misery” or (my personal favorite) “Meat Harbor”. dagon. dagon. what the fuck. are those just scrapped ideas for song titles on your upcoming debut album 2Edgy4U??? dagon, you say you’re the prince of ambition but what exactly is your ambition here?? your aesthetic is worse than mine was at age 12. this screams desperation. dagon. please take a nap.
hi everyone im still pissed we never learnt in school that shakespeare was bi and wrote the sonnets about a dude and a woc he was into
hi everyone im still pissed that we were told emily dickinson was a spinster when she spent her whole life writing love letters to a woman
hi everyone im still pissed about the fact that we never got taught any of the super super gay Greek myths. it seems impossible to think they managed to pick all the hetero myths when Greece was just THAT gay but guess what? they did.
hi everyone virginia woolf was also bi im still pissed that so much of literature is queer and has queer coding within it that deserves to be analysed through that lens in the same way that we don’t ignore the gender of an author, but sexuality is never mentioned in highschool literature classes
hi everyone i’m still pissed that we were never taught that da vinci was gay af and that the ideal the western world has of jesus (white, long straight brown hair) was based on one of his male lovers
hi everyone i’m still pissed that we were told sir isaac newton died a virgin when he had multiple boyfriends over the course of his life one of whom he wrote passionate love letters too and lived with
