Can We Step Back For A Second Though And Look At This Twitter Thread Without Any Blinders Whether That

It was only when Shona, in sheer fury, turned the carnivorous sheep among them that they moved. They ran, some of them with charming little white sheep attached to their legs or backsides and the rest shouting about monsters.

This is it this is my favorite video in the whole wide world

list of characters that would be weirdly sexualized if they were made today

I, the Dark

Do not fear, my child of light You might not understand

Why the world grants you no right Rewards you naught but sand

Haughty is the greatest might Claiming itself grand

I, the dark, will aid your fight If you’ll but take my hand

Imagine with me...

Orcs discovering makeup.

Orcs finding the boldest red to coat on their lips because, "It's supposed to make it look like they're flush with blood."

Orcs circling their eyes furiously with eyeliner to bring out the PURE FIREY FURY within and terrify their opponents.

Orcs of all sexes and ages doing their daily things, talking, fighting, all with their faces done up and not one of them finding it unusual.

Orcs being touchy on the subject with outsiders because, "How did the humans find this before us? This is so much better than warpaint."

Orcs swarming high society shops whenever they raid or trade with a city and terrifying the noble customers as they march out with arms full of the highest fashions.

Orcs complimenting each other on a particular style or color as screaming people run by and surroundings burn.

Orcs pitching a fit when they can't find their favorite brands.

ORCS

But I pleated it.

Mara as the Glamorous Enchantress, from Diana Wynne Jones’ “Dark Lord of Derkholm”

Shona is not impressed.

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 

Wild and Winter King

Out the north comes flying fast Master, guide and mentor None need bow or cry aloud In service, King of Winter. Voices pure, without waver Tales and ballads sing Loudest voices wail against Wild and Winter King. Stalwart stand the men of kings Faces stony, mild Eyes toward not foes nor flight But King of Winters Wild Ever shall naysayer's cry "Kings are cowards" ring Insults fall upon wise ears "Not I" speaks Winter King
