nah but i think it’s a mistake not to accept that the oblivion dark brotherhood has a very…eh i don’t know if i’ll say culty in all seriousness, and unhealthy seems a bit obvious, but it’s not a structure where everyone is playing on even grounds or operating in a reasonable headspace.
while the skyrim brotherhood’s loose structure means that even the conflict between cicero and astrid doesn’t escalate to an in-house murder until cicero tries to kill everyone (a fact that many of his adoring fans dislike acknowledging), the oblivion dark brotherhood goes scorched earth at the slightest provocation. this is not the structure of a loving family and it’s not the action of a loving father or mentor. lucien lachance is more loyal to the set of rules he follows than he is his fellows and this is not an admirable trait but one of indoctrination. this adherence to an arbitrary set of rules is also what allows mathieu to get as far as he does and results in lucien’s own death at mathieu’s hands.
the hierarchical and harsh structure of the oblivion dark brotherhood creates a system of power that is easily misused (not to mention the night mother’s own role in this phenomenon) and i think ignoring the undertones of that structure in favor of what almost seems to be an au version of the organization leaves a lot of potential story richness out in the sun to shrivel up and die.
Hi! I smashed the lord above out of my phone, as seen above, and have a big bill to pay off. So, I'm opening commissions to soften the blow!
This is not an emergency-emergency- I have a phone I can use in the meantime, and I have savings. Please, do not feel like you must commission me or I'm screwed. I'm also not looking for donations due to this. However, paying this is going to drain my savings and leave me with next to nothing for any actual emergencies, so I'd like to be able to soften the blow.
So hey, if you want a little avatar, hmu! I've included some examples of ones I've done for myself for discord tuppers, but I can do them for anything. These are going to be quick and clean, and shouldn't take me too long to get out. HMU if you're interested!
remember in skyrim how you were hired to exterminate some rats in a brewery only to find that they were all originating from a cave deep underground and being controlled by some gollum lifestyle living guy creating a rat army to attack the nearest city as his first stop in his plans for rat fueled destruction and then you just never mention that to anyone ever
hey who wants 2 help me get the fuck out of my shit house
okay SO. Hi, I’m Octavius, and for the past year and some change I’ve been forced to live at home with my rapist and it’s naturally been stressful as hell. However, I finally have a really good deal lined up to move out of here around January/February. I want to be as cushioned as possible for when I move out, so I’m looking for help raising about two months worth of rent to cover me while I move out. I’m also trying to get my name changed, which is going to be a pretty penny. Anything extra would go to bills: phone bill, bus fare, stuff like that.
I have a job right now, but they’ve flat out refused to my face to give me the hours I need so. Fun. I’m looking for other work but it took me months to get this job and idk how long it’ll take for me to find another. I’m putting aside what I can, but I still have bills now, as well as paying my mom for staying here (yeah i know.), so if you’ve got anything to spare, I’ll leave my p/ypal below (I don’t have anything else I’m canadian), and I also have commissions over on my artblog @catboyjpeg
I’m looking for about 1400 CAD by Feb 1st at the latest ideally, but honestly any amount helps because its money I can put aside alongside the money I’m already putting in there. If you can’t donate, no worries, spreading the post around helps too.
it literally never gets old when people hate astrid, who is the current leader of a hired murderer assassin cult, not for being the leader of a hired murderer assassin cult but because she tries to make the hired murder assassin cult less of a cult
I’m a gay trans man who has to move out this year and needs money, let me draw things for you! All prices listed above are in CAD. (Look up conversion rates- if you use USD or GBP, you might be surprised at how much less they are!) If you’re looking to support me in other ways, I also have a ko-fi
If you’re interested in a commission, three options: DM me here on tumblr, DM me on discord @Catboy#7855, or email me at [email protected]
