Requiem For A Love

Fuzzy and kind little things.

It's probably got some syntax or other that we haven't clarified, my bet is that it's a way of referring to themselves as children of the moons. (Having their form determined by the lunar lattice could have that effect) Similarly, it is said that the desert was made by Y'ffer in to harm Khajiit. But their philosophies and even the Riddle'Thar seem to demand that they accept the hardship. Odds are they take pride in their ability to survive in the harsh environments.

I rly wonder about the ethymology of Ja'Kha'jay too? Literally, it would mean “baby moon”, “mooncub” but that’s weird? Also, is the semblance between khaj (desert) and kha'jay (moon) something intentional, despite them being two different things and the apostrophe in kha'jay indicating a potential root from two separate words?

Since Khajiit are born under very specific Lunar cycles, I'd say their celebration is less individual and more of a group effort.

I can imagine a small army of similar looking specimens gathering in celebration every phase for loud and raucous celebration of their particular phenotype.

Also it's fun to imagine a birthday party for a hundred housecat sized mages.

lets have a headcanon thread to clear the air. reblog this with your favorite TES race + if/how you think they celebrate birthdays 

Can we step back for a second though and look at this twitter thread without any blinders whether that be on any level concerning representation in media, to realize how aggressively presumptuous the Twitter OP is being?

Outright, the focus is on ‘their’ culture. On ‘their’ tiny little aspect of this vastly creative effort that has been almost universally loved by those who’ve seen it. Things like this, people trying to control creators, to punish those who want to make something if it isn’t made to ‘their’ specifications, are the modern equivalent of the old Catholic Church arresting artists who made things the organization found “untasteful”.

Outrage culture is just a thing we have to deal with for now. People are going to flip their lids and go on childish vendettas against people that don’t fit their vision of a good artist or media maker. But preemptively throwing an aggressive and accusatory tantrum about something no one has even SEEN yet is where I draw the line.

You want to see representation for your culture? Right now that’s you. And by that example your culture is whiny, self-interested, and narrow minded.

High fantasy worlds based on real life geography and culture amazes me every time! 

Demons aren't just misguided, they're deeply corrupted, their very values made into malicious and aggressive aspects. In their state, the demons don't want to spend all the energy to cross the veil simply to occupy a weak, rotting corpse. They want to have considerable influence and ability, very difficult when you're trapped in a bag of bones. A living mage host provides extraordinary power, a much easier method to cross the veil around the already thinned aura of the mage, and a form that can not only endure physical trauma but grow in power. A living host could become stronger, a dead one cannot.

CONFESSION:

If a spirit can possess a tranquil or a dead body and restore even partially their connection to the fade (Doing this by force in the lore is called Necromancy). Why do demons take such disinterest? In that, spirits and demons are the same. Demons are the description of spirits who were once innocent and have been misguided by their own or others intentions (Such as the Fear Demon in the fade DA:I)            

Rolan Quarn is the greatest turian ever

So I’ve been doing some research for my story.  Which led to me to do a google search of Rolan Quarn, or as most people will probably know him, the turian con ‘artist’ from the Citadel DLC.  

Turns out the guy’s actually been involved in the series since August 2010 where he popped up on Cerberus Daily News, after he stole the identity of Delumcore System’s CEO after he died of a heart attack a week into a holiday.  Rolan then ran the company successfully for two years before getting caught by a routine traffic stop noticing discrepancies in his geneprint.

After his capture, police then released evidence that Rolan had previously passed himself off with dozens of other disguises, including a stunt driver, sous-chef, martial arts instructor, ambassador, varren tamer, news anchor and stand-up comedian.

Three days after, he slipped free of a tracking bracelet and police escort and escaped the planet, but only after leaving a recorded message thanking many of Delumcore’s employees by name and giving advice for the future, ending the note by saying: “Sorry about the bail.  I wish everyone the best.  I’ve never been prouder of the people I’ve worked with, and that’s saying something.”

Then, on New Year’s Eve, he steals the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball (which is four metres in diameter and weighs 5185kg) from the Citadel by himself, before returning it later with a note saying “C-Sec needs funds.  You can smuggle anything onto this station.”

Then he shows up in the Citadel DLC with the sexiest voice ever and basically tells you how he’s future Robin Hood.  But turian.  

He may only show up for five minutes in the game, but my god, what a legend.

Like looking in a mirror after I finish a test.
