[Man 1: (singing) One last time. Did you just... flick my hand away from your hand? It just like registered like three seconds later. Why did you do that? You didn’t want the Hydrangeas to see? They’re homophobic ya know. That’s why they’re not blooming as well.

They’re spewing hate. So they’re not... blooming. That’s how that works by the way. If you spew hate you don’t bloom, as a human. So you can tell when someone’s unhappy and they’re causing pain to someone else, you’re just a flower who’s not blooming and you’re mad you’re not blooming.

But it’s because you’re mad at the other person. So just stop being mad at the other person and focus on your blooming. Focus. On. Your blooming! (laugh) They’re really not doing so well.

Man 2: And that’s because they’re homophobic?

Man 1: Or the soil.]

also I'm deeply enjoying how drastically different the Imperials and Nords see the Dragonborn. like in Nord culture, the Dragonborn is the archrtypical Nord hero and to what all Nords of all stations can and should aspire to, they're a religious and cultural symbol and myth and embodiment of the Old Ways when Skyrim could stand against dragons and come out victorious, when the Nords were the center of human civilization on Tamriel before Skyrim was just another province in the empire.

meanwhile the Imperials hear 'Dragonborn' and think: emperors and conquerors, the imperial bloodline, the very foundation of the state and the religious pantheon. people don't just aspire to be like Dragonborn bc the Dragonborn is basically walking proof of the divine right of kings. Dragonborn to the imperials embodies the dragon part, not the dragon slayer. and more than anything, the Dragonborn is the embodiment of the state itself and the empire's legitimacy.

all of this is to say: both General Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak must've been over the moons excited for the appearance of the Dragonborn and taken it for granted that the LDB would join their side over the other and give them an unbeatable boost in morale and credibility. meanwhile Rikke, the only one who seems to really, genuinely get both cultures, is just "Ah shit, this is gonna suck."
