-What year you become involved with the TES franchise- Hoo, boy. Defiitely way younger than I should have, in hindsight. Somewhere around 2011, I think? Skyrim was still the uber-popular talk of the gaming town, then. -What your first TES game was- I dabbled in Skyrim but the first one I really owned and got into was Oblivioin. -When you started becoming involved in the TES fandom- Whenever it was that I found this site. My memory is notoriously poor with this kind of thing. -What platforms you started talking to the fandom on, and what ones you interact on now- I've only ever interacted with this site, really. I'm horrible at social interaction, let alone integration, so this is the only site where I can be an actual member of the community. -How you think the fans have reacted to new games- It's unfortunate how much flak the new games get. I could ramble about the people that go "ZOMG do not change anything ever" for aeons, but I won't. Suffice to say, it irks me. -How the communities you are part of are different from the ones you started in (are they?)- N/A

20 years old here. Though, to be fair, I am nothing but a very small child in an adult body. :P

Epic thread! A few ideas, in loose order: First, Almalexia's descent into madness may not be public knowledge. It certainly wasn't in the timeframe of TESIII; indeed, recounting her final moments nets you a disposition decrease with most NPCs, because they don't believe the Merciful Healing Mother went cuckoo-crazy and tried to kill the Nerevarine. This lends credence to her current position as a Greater Saint (along w/ Vivec, Sotha Sil, Veloth and the first Nerevar); I doubt she'd be acknowledged at all if her final moments were well-known. Second, on the topic of Saints: Be sure to read up on the Temple Saints lore. Frankly, they serve as amazing building-blocks for Dunmeri faith, and their stories can be useful both in OOC character/story-building and IC motivation. St. Nerevar (patron of warriors and House Redoran) is pretty relevant to this concept, but a lot of them are worth a look. Third, while it's kind of vague, both Sotha Sil and the Clockwork City may still be around. A ton of stuff in ESO and Legends (of all games!) indicated that Sotha Sil wasn't inhabiting his body when it died--evidence suggests he was uploaded into the city's "software", or at the very least into some digital state of being. Hence why he didn't react at all when Almalexia came to murder him. Moreover, while I can't find a lot of details on it, ES: Legends has a storyline revolving around a visit to Clockwork City in the Fourth Era, and features a mechanical replica of the Heart of Lorkhan as its' power source. Since there are multiple endings, it's unclear what the end result was, but one ending does have the City live on. Fourth, Taladran's family could have been present at the fall of Ald'ruhn. While he himself is too young to have been there, his parents could have fought the Daedric invaders. Also worthy of note that Skar was reportedly reanimated to fight Dagon's horde, and seeing the giant crab your city was built in/around rise up like Shin Mudcrabzilla would have certainly left an impression on the Sarethi family, if they were present. Fifth, remember that the Red Year and the Argonian invasion were a crisis of Dunmer faith. It would be nice to see how these earth-shaking (literally, huehuehue) events shook Taladran and his family's faith, in comparison to Morrowind as a whole.  

Welp, with only about a month to go, there's a tongue-in-cheek "casting trailer", which features a lot of detailed renders for a large portion of the Pokemon cast. From a technical perspective at least, it's hella impressive. And I now want a pet Emolga b/c IT'S TOO DAMN CUTE AAARGHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=198gzllaumo&fbclid=IwAR3YF5Qu-uuJeo9uPNdzwrjj_Gm4L0loyy1xge7Fq3Kyo16_x7wdVobhbXM

First and foremost on my end is Detective: Pikachu. The sheer level of world-building and nods to the source material show that the movie is made by actual fans of the franchise. Which atuomatically makes it better than pretty much every other similar live-action adaptation. Apart from that, I'm also curious about the finale of the Gotham TV show. If for no other reason than to keep seeing Cameron Monaghen's amazing Joker portrayal(s).
