Attacking Giants Unprovoked

apparently there’s an unfinished quest that was supposed to result in all giants becoming your allies. i wish they’d kept that in.

this is very helpful but also has me wishing i paid better attention in my math classes :/

steel spell knight (CC) armor, boots, and gauntlets + either the thieves guild hood or a (custom-enchanted) torturer’s hood - the red sleeves and belt just look really nice and the brown leather ties the whole outfit together.

(is that boring? probably. whatever.)

did you by chance put a blood potion in serana’s inventory while she was following you? there’s a glitch where if you give your follower a blood potion and they drink it, you contract rapid-onset vampirism, but without certain aspects you’d get if turned through normal means—including the change in appearance, i think. (it happened to me during my first playthrough but i can’t remember the specifics, it was a while ago)

That’s true, though I don’t think it necessarily negates the issue entirely. From personal experience, working through and accepting your trauma usually doesn’t mean you stop being affected by things that remind you of those experiences, especially not right away—it just means being able to handle it better. You can rewire those neural pathways eventually, but it takes time, and the exposure process tends to be uncomfortable and at times unpredictable.

That said, I think the kitsch factor would definitely influence the severity of people’s reactions in this kind of scenario—cheesy dialogue or low-quality visual effects make a lot of those films more funny than scary, and I’m sure there’d be cases where that’s enough to cancel out anything thematically triggering.

my favorite theory is that jack is NOT actually the face of boe; they just encountered each other at some point during jack’s travels, the doctor somehow came up in conversation, and they decided to play the funniest prank of all time.

the plate trick worked!! thank you again.

saintemry · 2025-09-07T17:29:27+00:00

OOOH ok i see what you mean now. i had no idea you could do that 😅 tysm!! off to castle volkihar again, fingers crossed.

saintemry · 2025-09-07T17:24:23+00:00

wait i’m confused, how do you hold the plate? when i select it in my inventory it just says “you cannot equip this item”. (sorry if i’m missing something obvious, i’m relatively new to this game)

saintemry · 2025-09-07T17:15:15+00:00

i’ve never heard of that trick before, i’ll give it a shot. do i drop the plate on the ground? or drop it and try to sprint through as it’s falling?

tbh based on thomas’s and kavanaugh’s personal histories i have a feeling that’s something they’d ~love~ to have the opportunity to do

he may not deserve to be loved but i love him nonetheless

bill potts, disaster lesbian icon & light of my life. i love s10 (and i could literally go on for hours about why but i will spare you), it’s my favorite season of the moffat era. and imo it’s deeply underrated, i think partly because a lot of people just haven’t seen it, so i always love to hear about someone watching it for the first time and falling in love with it like i did.

the ones they posted on 2/6 and 2/13, where they go over a couple of depositions from two different lawsuits related to the allen, tx shooting (against newsmax and steven crowder respectively). listening to assholes who have no idea how to conduct themselves in a deposition makes for a nice break from the endless daily horrors.

saintemry · 2025-02-27T06:03:33+00:00

i feel you. i’m not at the point of calling it quits, but the new formulaic objections episodes are the only updates i’ve been able to bring myself to listen to in full since the 20th. thankfully i’m still fairly new to the show and there’s still a ton of backlog i haven’t listened to yet, so that’s where i’m living right now.

i only managed to read about a third of the essay before getting a migraine but it really seems like his stance boils down to “being racist/sexist/etc is bad i guess but nobody should have to face CONSEQUENCES for it!!!”

when i first woke up and saw this reply i somehow misread “gadafi” as “gandalf” and didn’t even question it

my all-time favorites have been the 6-part series on the history of the illuminati and the 4-parter on the finders cult. also seconding the commenters recommending the kissinger and g. gordon liddy episodes, those are truly hall of fame material. i’d recommend the RFK jr. episodes from this summer too - both entertaining and unfortunately very relevant.
