Sometimes, I really fucking hate Skyrim.
So, a long time ago, I created a simple little mod for Skyrim that just replaced the "Riekling death noise" with sound-files that were silent. A simple, elegant solution that Skyrim has always been okay with.
Of course, for some fucking reason, this didn't work. I spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what was wrong, to no avail.
In the end, I threw my hands up, left the mod installed (since it didn't get in the way) and started a new save. Boom, no death-noise.
Obviously I was mystified and vaguely horrified at the possible implication that the sound-file was somehow hardcoded into the save-file, because how the fuck would that even happen????
But it worked, right? So who gives a shit. Live and let live.
Killed a riekling today, and it made the death-noise.
Immediately went to check that I'd installed the mod, and yeah, it'd been installed from the start. So, clearly it'd become quiet back then for some completely different reason.
Was very unhappy about it, but decided to open the Creation-Kit to see if I could track something down. Ended up finding a "riekling death-noise"-file that clearly linked to all of those aforementioned sound-files, and-...
And nothing was using that file. As in, nothing was referencing or calling to this file at all.
Which would mean that the Creation-Kit is telling me that SOMEHOW the game just spontaneously without any references or anything at all, just plays the death-noise (that has already been erased from the game) exactly when it needs to.
And like... what the fuck dude?

i don't know what anon fever has possessed some of this community this month but please seek assistance, get some antipyretics, go out and touch some grass, whatever you need to do - do it. it's genuinely been the worst month to be on this platform since i started writing in FEBRUARY! i have been here 8 months and yet this month there's just been so much nonsensical hate, vile comments and animosity directed not only towards me but my friends, and it's really tired now.

Them retooling Miss Scarlet & The Duke to cut out the Duke has hit me really hard and not just because of them splitting up the ship--it's also because deep and rich a character William really is. And there was so much more to explore. He really was half the show. It's right there in the title.
In fact, he was a linch pin between the worlds of the show, uniting Eliza and Scotland Yard. But also there's the connection with her father and his mentorship of William, and then in turn William's mentorship of Fitzroy. The opening and closing scenes in 2x05 proved how much he was a part of the community, and looked out for those less fortunate, given his upbringing in the workhouse and living on the streets as a teen. He gave back, just as Henry did to help him. He's responsible and looks after the people he supervises. Ivy is right: William is a good man.
Yes, at first William did write off Eliza's desires to be a detective, as most men would in the 1880s. But then he grew to accept it, and then not only that, but encourages her. He does grow to view her as an equal, giving her cases, and feeling bad when he cannot. He respects her opinion (even though don't they didn't always see eye to eye), and defends her when other men do not. He supports her and tells her what a good detective she is, and that she can always make it work because she always does. And it's these words that she remembers when she decides she has to reopen her agency.
So many times he put Eliza before himself, and often at the detriment of his own career. In fact, where we left off, things were him poised for him to give it up in order to be with her. Because he loves her. It's a shame that we won't continue what what was set up, and it's a shame that that they've chosen to abandon the original premise for whatever the real reason for this mess is.
