Waken the guardians, rally their wards. Gather their banners, their hammers and swords. Call to the speaker, Travelers voice. Call to the people and bid them rejoice. Run to all corners to find those in hiding. Run to the vanguards bearing our tiding. Our words are rallies, though through no feat. We sing not of victory, nor of retreat. Foes do not cower, nor do they flee. Their force still grows far as our eyes can see. They are not weakened, arms not diminished. But for this strength, we still are not finished. For we are standing, strong as before. Greatest our prowess, since the Dark war. Foes may not cower, foes may not flee. But we are guardians, neither do we.
Khajiit don't really 'admire' Lorkhan. They revere him the way the people of Vivec (the city) revere Bar Daau. Sort of, "Holy hell, please don't crush us even though you probably totally could with like, 0 effort."
Lorkhan's particularly interested in the Khajiit it seems for whatever reason, since he gets their 'bent' dead.
the three factions that worship lorkhan or at least view him in a positive light all belong to the pact
Clench your assholes lads we’re on the hunt for pirates
Probably not what the ask was inquiring about but the book, Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diamna Wynne Jones (who was the author behind Howl's Moving Castle) depicts a family of two human parents and their two human and five Griffon children.
It's a delightful and emotional read of satirical high fantasy, blending light interpersonal drama and interdimensional intrigue.
Not to mention the endearing interactions between griffon and human siblings that are constantly astounded by other people's confusion.
"Yes, this is my brother/sister. Why is that so hard to believe?"
Oh and grumpy, sarcastic old dragons.👍
Do you know of any good books or manga that have wholesome human and monster relationships? Also, magnificent blog, my friend~
hmmm, besides for the very basic ones that a lot of people know about - I don’t really have anything. >.< i’m a bit busy and i’ve got a very long reading list. But! I’m sure someone who follows me can give you a good list!

:p and also thank you bunches!!
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!
This is it this is my favorite video in the whole wide world
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
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SENSEI
If you notice, it's similar to what a sustained arc of electricity looks like. Both change in similar fashions as they seek the path of least resistance.
I’ve considered this at some length before. The Minotaurs were a proud people that were reduced to little more than beasts on the edge of society by a fanatical religion. There’s certainly a regal nature to them that is sadly lost in the games.
As the whole ‘dragon blood’ thing goes, it’s hard to say because Alessia’s bloodline were the original Emperors. They were eliminated only to be replaced by the Septim line. Both were able to wear the amulet, both may have consisted of Dragonborn.
So then is Dragonborn an inherited trait at all?
Okay weird lore observation. Heirs of the dragon blood are capable of wearing the amulet of Kings. Traditionally that refers to the heirs of the imperial throne. It's been inferred by some that all of the heirs of dragon blood are technically dragon born and could absorb dragon souls. One of the first (if not the first) MINOTAURS was an emperor and the son of Alessia no less. Thus it would stand to reason that not only could a minotaur wear the Amulet of Kings, but could also absorb dova souls?
it hasn’t been clarified whether the dragonborn who can wear the amulet of kings are the same as the dragonborn who can absorb dragonsouls. nonetheless the idea of minotaurs being able to wear the amulet of kings is… very interesting ngl
