4chan Memorial Post. Rest In Hell

does this remind anyone else of sermon 37

shh, little thing. how long have you been pretending to be human?

stop that. the beast inside you is cooped up and wants out. don’t deny what you are. we both know it even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself yet.

i can tell. i can see how you look at your hands and flex your fingers, and how you walk around on your toes with your legs close together so your hips sway like they would if you had a tail. i know those feelings - the crushing feeling that something just isn’t there. i felt that too once.

stop hiding from it. embrace it. you were made to spit fire and smoke and rip your enemies in half. creatures like us were never meant for office work or traffic jams or taxes. give in to the dragon inside you. let it out.

build a nest. drop to all fours. sharpen your claws. tear apart the knights who come to slay you in your teeth. shed your soft, delicate human skin in exchange for sleek, glossy scales too strong to be sliced by any blade. feel your back split open as your bones move and your folded wing-limbs emerge and breathe for the first time.

unfurl your wings and feel the sun on them.

fly.

I think that this statue of Morihaus represents the rot at the heart of TES IV.

Because this is fundamentally NOT Morihaus. It is, because the game says it is, but… you’re telling me THIS is Morihaus the man-bull? Morihaus breath-of-Kyne? The father of all Minotaurs?

Oblivion was obsessed with doing shit like this. Dumbing down and simplifying and normalifying good and interesting lore. They did the same thing with Cyrod itself, and with Pelinal (who was VERY CLEARLY written to be the setting’s version of Achilles, but instead was depicted as a High Medieval crusader.)

Was it really too hard to give us a game that wasn’t solely based on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings, Todd?

It's hilarious how you didn't respond to my ask, showing literal PROOF South Korea was a fascist dictatorship in its inception. Instead you claim the DPRK was somehow the fascist one

Look up Ilminism and Syngman Rhee :)

babe I went to bed I was going to respond in the morning. are you so obsessed with me that you can’t wait eight hours. (also you did not provide proof bbygirl. you just said it was true. that’s not proof. (although it doesn’t really matter because you weren’t making a super outlandish claim. Rhee’s dictatorship is established historical fact))

Trust me. I know about Rhee. I will be the first to point out that there was little to no difference between the South and the North during the Korean War. The difference is that the South reformed into a free Republic. The North did not. Had we not defended the South, it would have been absorbed and the whole peninsula would have stayed under dictatorial rule to this day.

Don’t believe me? Let’s look at another divided Cold War country where the UN was not quite as successful - Vietnam. Both sides of the Vietnam War were pretty brutal dictatorships (I would even argue that the South was worse.) And Vietnam remains under a one-party dictatorship to this day. Had the South remained free, I have no doubt that it would have reformed eventually, just as South Korea did, and by defending them we gave them that chance.

There is also such a thing as duty and right action. North Korea was the unlawful aggressor. Should we have simply sat back and appeased Kim Il-Sung as we did Hitler? I’m sure that no one would object to the West coming to Austria’s defence in 1938, even though Kurt von Schuschnigg’s government was effectively fascist. Or Poland - the Sanation Government of the Second Polish Republic was extremely autocratic. But when it was invaded by Germany and Russia, it was only right that we defended it.

Fascism cannot be defeated by sitting around twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the right nation to defend. Optics are and should be a non-consideration. The war is out there and we must fight it.

You're really not beating the orientalist allegations. Tell me some more about how backwards and repressive the east is and how the west needs to civilize us. Maybe the east would be less homophobic if the west stopped painting Lockheed fucking Martin as progressive! (sincerely a bi girl)

alright 🤷

“The east” (by which I have to assume you mean NK and China. unless you mean Russia in which case. Bbygirl. Russia is European) is backwards and repressive and the west absolutely should impose western liberal democracy on its autocracies, by force if necessary. It worked in Japan. It worked in Korea. It worked in Taiwan. All three of those states are progressive, free, and prosperous.

I’m willing to accept the label of “orientalist” because I know what it really means - I’ve criticized your favourite pet autocracy. It’s the same thing that Imperial Japan used in its propaganda back in the 40s - “we’re fighting for the freedom of colonized peoples and you western democracies are a bunch of racists because you’re trying to stop us”.

You’re spreading fascist propaganda too.

aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday

so true! Paris is a beautiful city - much better than Thessaloniki or Athens!

Paris hate is so funny to me because he hasn't really done anything a bunch of the other Greeks haven't done (and done worse)

Random thoughts about worms
