(Set during S2E8: Keith has just activated his knife, and is now piloting the Red Lion back to the Castle)
Keith: …
Shiro: Keith? You okay? You’ve been kind of quiet.
Keith: Huh? Oh, sorry Shiro. It’s just been… a really longday.
Shiro: (puts a handon Keith’s shoulder) Hey. It’ll be okay. You’re a strong kid, Keith. You always have been.
Keith: Thanks. I just… I just can’t believe I forgot.
Shiro: Forgot? (pause) Keith, I thought you said you didn’t know you were part-Galra until now.
Keith: What? No, no, I didn’t mean it like that. I mean, I had- I had a hunch, but I didn’t know for sure until today, Shiro, I swear.
Shiro: Hey, hey, calm down. It’s okay, Keith. I wasn’t trying to imply anything, I’m sorry. But if you weren’t talking about being part-alien, what did you forget…?
Keith: (looks away)
Keith: The suit… showed me things. Some of them were memories. One of them was- Shiro, I saw my dad.
Shiro: … Keith, you don’t have to tell me anything if you d-
Keith: I’m fine, Shiro, I’m over it. It’s been a long time. I’m fine now. But because it’s been so long, I… I didn’t think I still remembered his face. I didn’t realize how much I’d forgotten.
Shiro: (gently) The simulation could have made some of it up, Keith.
Keith: I know. I know. And I don’t know if that makes it better or worse. But I doubt the simulation could’ve known enough about Earth to make this up. Because when he spoke, I realized that I… I’m…
Did You Know: The White-Gold Concordat was signed in 4E 175, banning the worship of Talos within the Empire? This means that by the time of the events of Skyrim, Talos worship has already been illegal in the Empire for 26 years.
this is true but it’s notable that npcs suggest in-game that this was barely reinforced in skyrim until the stormcloak uprising and the thalmor came in to rlly crack down on it. ulfric dealing with the forsworn probably contributed to this but yeah talos worship was still acceptable in skyrim until the start of the civil war
also do you think anyone in skyrim gives a shit about anything going on

You never think it happens to you until it does. You never think that you’d be the one that people reblog tips for.
I wash just closely followed and taped by a man at a convention today. The only reason I’m here to talk about it is because of said reblogged tips. They might have just saved me.
When I saw that man behind me, I did a run-through of everything I knew to keep me safe. Everything I saw on this website that would help me. First, I made sure I was being followed. I picked up my pace, went around tables sporadically, mixed up my directions. I never stopped moving. When I saw he was still the same distance behind me, I knew.
Second, I looked for my friends. I had come with three other people and had split up to look at merch. But when I couldn’t find them, I did what I never thought I’d have to do. I thank all of the people I followed for reblogging it so many times.
I picked a random cosplayer my age (a Midoriya cosplayer of 15-16 years) and pretended that I just met a long lost friend. I leaned in close to give them a hug and then whispered that I was being followed. They understood IMMEDIATELY and let me follow them to a different booth. It wasn’t until I grouped with them that the man stopped following me. I later went to security and the man was already someone who they were having trouble with earlier.
Moral of the story: Please reblog tips for safety on your dash. I don’t care if it doesn’t fit. If I didn’t think of pretending I knew someone, something worse could’ve happened to me. If you’re being followed, don’t be afraid to pretend you know someone. Be careful out there. You never think it’s going to be you until it happens.
