Better quests( even side quests tend to be interesting)
A world that feels lived in
The towns and cities actually look like towns and cities not a few houses just thrown down
Npcs have an actual personality hell. Even the guards have different personalities from each other
Thieves guild, dark brotherhood, mages and fighters guild quests are great and my favourite part is that we aren't made the leader
So many different armor types with zero gender lock
Again the world is beautiful
Dragons are actually dangerous and earn thier reputation (I remember my first time fighting one, got my ass kicked immediately)
Also they're not afraid to have flirty npcs thst even flirt with the player charecter that aren't just weirdly horny female npcs (some guards even flirt)
It's been in the 60s and 70s here after brutal -20 degree temps. I feel its so close...so close
i just need to hold on until the trees start blooming again
being nonchalant is overrated, spam me, send me all the videos that made you laugh, show me you care, send me your silly jokes and random thoughts, no need to hide your enthusiasm to come over as uninterested
Look, this is what moral OCD is like for me:
I walk past a piece of paper. I don’t pick it up because I had a long day at work and it’s very cold outside. This then becomes my internal monologue:
I didn’t pick up that piece of paper, I should have. Don’t I care about the environment? It’s not my trash, I shouldn’t have to pick it up. But also that’s how these things happen right? We place the blame on others as our environment degrades. It was just a piece of paper, it’s not like it can do that much damage. But also how do I know: I’m not an environmental expert. Maybe stray paper scraps are killing the frogs. You’re literally killing the frogs. You should look up how many frogs die a year so you know how shitty you are-No stop it.
I care about the environment, and I recycle and I joined green activism movements but is that enough? I could be doing more. I should be doing more. I should donate my entire check to charity. But isn’t it self serving to think that my one check could help that much? Do I really think I’m that important, how self entitled and-no stop it, reset! You are obsessing and if you fall for it, you will not eat dinner. Let it go.
Okay it’s just a piece of paper. It’s okay you skipped it this once: it could have had something dangerous on it. Yeah that makes sense. But also, that means I’m putting my own safety over trying to help the environment, which is very selfish of me. I’m just one shitty person: god how could I be so self absorbed. I should have picked up the piece of paper. I’m so selfish, and shitty and-no, no, stop it! This is not helpful. It’s fine.
It’s been a long day and I’m cold, that’s not a crime- no that’s being selfish again, you’re making excuses. You’re just a lazy piece of shit who doesn’t care about others, and selfish and God the fact you’re thinking this much about one piece of paper shows how selfish you are, you care more about if you’re a good person than anything else, you’re a piece of shit, you’re a piece of shit, YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT.
I get home and open up Tumblr. The first post I see says “if you don’t reblog this post about the environment you’re as complicit as an oil billionaire.” I close my computer and resign myself to looking up the state frog populations until I go to bed.
I don’t eat dinner.
The amount of frogs that die a year is somewhere from 200 million to over 1 billion.
Howdy I'm TheBastardHyena but you can just call me Scav or Scavenger. I'm 28 (he/him) and currently a graduate student finishing up my masters degree. In my spare time I like writing, drawing, video games and binging TV.

"Every social media app has Elvis impersonators" is a statistical error, Tumblr Georg, who lives in a cave and has 1000000 Elvi was an outlier and should not have been counted
