The ashlanders: I mean maybe, you might be the nerevarine, but we can't really know for sure :/

Dagoth, doing a sexy dance in your dreams every single night: hai resdayna lord nerevar, i have eagerly awaited your return. I hope you will choose to join me, i will gladly forgive your past betrayal and welcome you as my lord and hortator with open arms [sends 50 dreamers to your exact location and gives you corprus]

#“hot singles in your area” but its you #you're the hot single netevarine and baby Ur is spamclicking it so bad he's bringing all sorts of virusses to vvardenfell

Dagoth calm down

go find a rebound

suddenly thinking of when AI wasn't considered the worst thing ever and the AI Dagoth Ur meme was the big thing, the one where he gets bent out of shape finding out Nerevar reborn is an Argonian

sits here, sweating, as Argonian reincarnation

although honestly i wonder if anyone deep in the lore has written a fun lil fandom essay on different nerevarantine races affecting narrative/themes/etc

grips hands in argonian

i don't remember seeing much in the game itself, but now i'm curious

oh yeah i doubt a game made way back then would have gone that deep into it - mostly it seems extended to one-off voice lines by npcs at best

but, like. what it could mean. what it would mean if, say, you were writing a story and such that had the time. or were roleplaying a Nerevarine

do it rp the nerevarine

like, just off-hand and written by someone who is still avoiding the main storyline, nerevar reincarnating as an argonian or khajiit - races infamously used as slaves in morrowind - could say something interesting about the nerevar being betrayed, or his service to morrowind, etc

things like that, yknow

YEAH i get u

honestly argonian/khajiit are easy in this regard, i don't know what comparisons/themes you could make with some of the other races lmao

not off the top of my head anyway

i'm ass deep in the argonian lore so i can't contribute more unfortunately...

i love these weird amphibian lizard tree people

AI issues aside want me to post the vid

A far as I know, nobody has written anything thoughtful and in depth that explores the various implications of what race the nerevarine is, but boy howdy have people loudly and angrily argued about it.

LMAO OH NO

(also i'll pass, i'm too lost in the reeds with, uh. everything.)

(don't look at what's happening on tumblr)

TES fandom isn't happy unless it's yelling at each other about obscure lore implications.

I have nothing helpful to add myself, as the races I know the most about...are two that don't even exist anymore.

have they remembered that it's a character creator game alkdjfals

Oh, die hard TES people just go 'WELL THAT'S JUST A GAME MECHANIC, IT'S NOT CANON!'

Particularly those who swear that the nerevarine has to be Dunmer.

plays argoninan neerevarine harder,

The only answer to this BS, really

Like...look, we all know I am Way Too Into TES. This canon lore is banana cracker cakes bonkers!

Half of it makes absolutely 0 sense whatsoever.

In this banana cracker cakes bonkers universe, the damned nerevarine can be a fucking housecat shaped Khajiit and it's fine, it works, it makes as much sense as anything else.

desperately looks for a mod now that lets me be a housecat nerevarine

these people sounds like they would deny the mudcrab merchant

Yeah there's a reason the majority of my 'fandom participation' with TES is mostly just yelling about stuff with redfirelight

meanwhile i'm in the morrowind tag on tumblr reblogging Everything

as this plurk can show

Morrowind is so good

ftr, tumblr morrowind? very horny for dagoth-ur, and i can appreciate it

That tracks

although i guess when a man sexy dances in your dreams for you, what else are you supposed to do?

not appreciate that pathetic level of thirst?

any TES fan who pitches a fit because "it's not canon" has shown their ass to be not as deep into the lore as they pretend they are
it's all canon, idiot, that's part of why the timelines of the games are such a god damn mess

YEAH

anyway, gives this to you all

there is literally a canonical explanation for why everything is canon, geez

pry my argonian protags from my cold dead hands

it's fun in skyrim too, especially because of how fuckin racist half the nords are

my boi rocks up and saves them from alduin they're still calling him a boot

Boy howdy are many Nord racist!

which is a fun new racist term for argonians i learned

lmao i think i remember my main skyrim character was a dunmer who got married to an argonian

hell yeah

a pissed off lesbian thief: i understand my country shouldn't be throwing stones here, but i'm kinda sick of y'all's bullshit, i'm marrying a cute lizard

my favorite Argonian fact is still that they can just ask their local tree god to trans their gender if they're not feeling the form they're in currently

and then folks throw a party to celebrate

God I love that

I love that and how they have trouble perceiving time like the other races
