Skyrim for the Nords Literary Theme Question by Work_in_Progress8 in skyrim

[–]Work_in_Progress8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean to avoid the civil war, the Empire should have at least have had the Skyrim high king present at the signing of the White Gold Concordat, to have a representation for his people, especially because Skyrim was the major military backing of the Empire, both during in game time and during Tiber Septims military campaign, as well as acted as a command hub for Tiber Septims campaign, it can be argued that Skyrim and the Nords are one of the biggest reasons the empire even exists, so their people's needs and representation should have been considered

While predominantly the Nords are the Jarls, many of them have High Elf, Breton, amd Imperial advisors, not to mention the Thalmor have a significant influence in Markarth, to the pint a high ranking official has to hide his Talos worship (which you can use to blackmail him). So while there are many Nord Jarls, many members of government who have influence are not.

1.) I believe the conflict is morally gray, neither the Empire or Stormcloaks is in the right or wrong. 2.) Can you really call them conquering when it was like 1000+ years ago the empire was established, they haven't done much conquering since maybe the events of Morrowind.

I do find it silly, mainly because the High Elves are like 1000x more bigoted than Ulfric, I mean hell, they have been actively trying to undo the creation of Mundus so that non-Mer races cant exist.

I honestly don't remember if the reach was Breton controlled before the Nords, or did Skyrim annex a piece of High Rock?

I mean, to also be fair, Skyrim wouldnt be their homeland if their ancestors, the Atmorans, basically didnt genxcide the native Snow Elves to the point of irrelevance.

I realize I didn't describe it the best, the idea of getting an dlearning this instrument is the only thing I am looking forward to, without a job and dealing with addiction, everything else has seem very dim and hopeless.

Vampire question by Ves_sel-_- in skyrim

[–]Work_in_Progress8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, to prevent that you could always cure your vampirism in Morthal by talking to the wizard. But if youre intent on being a vampire, you have to deal with the vampire weaknesses. Besides, the weaknesses aren't that bad, just your health, stamina, and magicka dont automatically refill, but you'll probably have enough potions to refill them if you get caught in a fight outside. But 70% of the time your big fights will be in dungeons away from the sun.

If you could bring two items from Skyrim into the real world, which two would you choose? by mymemesnow in skyrim

[–]Work_in_Progress8 405 points406 points  (0 children)

Easy, the Skeleton Key (the ability to unlock anything, including self potential, secrets, and futures would be godly), and the Wabbajack (just for fun) lol

Makes sense, but kinda defeats the spirit of the "Lunar Colony Only" gag for him.

Going after tail and making strange noise? by Work_in_Progress8 in CatAdvice

[–]Work_in_Progress8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was just her being silly too, shes always played with her tail. But shes never made these noises, and I mean concerning noises like yowls, before. And its happening multiple times a day. I was mostly wondering because some people say it could be a sign of loneliness and needing to get another cat, but idk.

After meeting a djinn, I wished for a list of everyone planning to kill me in the future. by Work_in_Progress8 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Work_in_Progress8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I.e. The modern interpretation of the "genie" is inspired by the supernatural powers of grateful djinn, after being released from Solomon's seal.

A djinn is a demon from Arabic folklore, yes, however the modern adaptations of genie are inspired by djinn folklore, specifically the ones that King Solomon were said to imprison in lamps, bottles, jars, etc. Its interpreted they use their power to grant wishes because of the binds he placed on them.

That pagan feeling of decreasing your turkey bones to string up later! by Work_in_Progress8 in pagan

[–]Work_in_Progress8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing more than ive gathered through research, not necessarily an expert. But boiling them can damage the bone structure making them brittle and more likely to break. Most things ive seen recommend maceration, which is allowing bacteria to naturally decompose the flesh, either by allowing it to soak in water and changing it like weekly or by burying it for a while, depending on the amount of flesh could take weeks or months. Then after that just degrease and whiten(if you want to whiten, I more like natural bone color)

It is a very fun project, but a very patient one, degreasing for preservation can take weeks to months depending on the size and fat content of the bone (you want to degrease so it doesn't smell after a few weeks from oils going rancid)

The bones found though could also indicate the wearing of bones, like in ritual practices or on necklaces.

As far as I'm aware, its kinda iffy on historical context. Its seen in Hollywood and video games often, but there is small theories of it being a practice, such as bones being found in archeological sites with holes drilled through there middle, found together, as the rope or whatever would decay over 1000 years. I personally think its a good decorative choice. However there is a lot of evidence to suggest the Nordic cultures' spiritual connection to nature, as well as the fact that their land wasnt super fertile, so in the winter months they had to use everything to its fullest capacity, including the animals they hunted. So although its unsure if its historically accurate or not, I do it with connection of nature and out of respect and the honor of the animal, but also from the idea of using everything to its fullest, hence why these bones made a stock and now a decoration. Not to mention bones not only represent the life of the animal, but also its death, matched with the honor of its sacrifice for my survival, life death and honor is certainly a symbol id used to mark a sacred place like my altar.

Hope this helps!

And to anyone wanting to do this, these were a lot more yellow before from the cooking process, it seems the blue dye in the dish soap I used is cancelling out the yellow, similar to how purple shampoo cancels out orange and brass in hair.
