IDK if this is a hot take but its crazy how ESO has had some genuinely amazing writing and lore, including things that just will never be shown.
Like a lot of the lore that TES fans mention in the main games is just flavor text or some half baked dream Kirkbride wrote up, its rarely ever shown in the games.
But in ESO, you see all the types of Khajiit, you get to be in jungles and deserts and swamps, you get to talk to the Hist, enter planes of oblivion, and go to the moon! Even when it wasn't always the best, it still did more to flesh out the world.
And when TES 6 does come out, I expect it to be disappointing in a lot of ways, but especially in that people will pretend that ESO isn't canon and had nothing to offer the franchise, when it carried it on its back and tbh has been the only MMO I can stomach.
2025 is the year to get around to it. rub some dirt in the gaping wound of your heart and bare your teeth to your own life
i wonder what it's like to be emotionally stable. anyways [thinks about fictional characters to survive] i am fine
Been having a rough time as of late but I still managed to get some artwork done after a long break from drawing. Inspired by a quote I saw here on tumblr. Also I hate doing backgrounds but they say practice makes it easier, so I persevere.

my vibe is that feeling you get when you hear the king of the hill intro start playing on adult swim at 4 in the morning.
man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.
I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"
it's just... lonely and sucks bad.
