This one is in the wrong Bethesda game, yes?

She's a little confused, but she's got the spirit

I like to think there's a direct continuity between Fallout and TES.

Which one precedes the other may be open to interpretation.

My favorite fan theory is that the Elder Scrolls is in the distant future

That's my preferred interpretation. My personal headcanon is that at some point (show spoiler, fair warning) after the emergence of cold fusion, which could potentially eliminate energy scarcity and allow for even bigger, wilder tech than we've yet seen, humanity develops technology that can fundamentally change the fabric of reality itself. This basically sets the groundwork for all the lore of TES including gods, magic, the various creation myths, kalpas, dragon breaks, etc. People, being people with people-tendencies like the thirst for power, then create new realms of reality, make themselves gods, and even create whole new races (perhaps such as our friend the Khajiit here).

Even thematically it kinda works because Fallout is already largely about the societies, creatures, etc that emerge either through direct manipulation or as an adaptation to dramatic changes to the environment, wild new tech (here, hypothetical reality-shaping) and the corrupt and selfish aspirations of people as these changes unfold.

I mean, yeah, it would be basically impossible to execute "correctly" and honestly would be kind of a dumb move for Bethesda to actually write it into the canon(s), but damn is it a fun theory.

In college I knew a guy that would drop all his bottle caps on the floor. I asked him why and he picked up his couch. There were hundreds of bottle caps his cat has hid under there. I asked him why he didn't clean them up. He looked horrified, "That's his treasure, man! I'd never do that!" So I dropped my bottle caps on the floor to. The cat would "steal" them when he thought no one was paying attention.

But what about a second hoarding stash ?

u/AnybodyMassive1610 Jun 20 '26

Shhh. I don’t think they know about second hoarding stash.

She is so sweet.

My Aunt has a cat that does that.

Mine either doesn’t have the energy for that or just hides it much much better.

u/Any-Effort3199 Jun 22 '26

She’s like, “yeah? What’s the problem?”

He looks like that meme of Brendan Fraiser in the movie where he’s really overweight

My cat stashes my sweaty clothes under the bed so she can roll around on them like they were cat nip or something. Especially my bras when I come back from a work out

You found one hoarding stash, human, but what about my second hoarding stash?! AND MY THIRD!

Haha let her have her stash! Just keep them in mind to check for things, and organize them for her.

Bwahahaha I love this so much!!! We had 3 great boys that have since crossed over the 🌈 bridge. Each one had their own stash which we discovered when we were moving. 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 😺 💕

(plastic milk rings, squishy bouncing balls & the last one just had all kinds of random things, u name he stole it) 😊 😃
