FUCK I FORGOT I ALWAYS FORGET big HUGE shoutout to @toxaquepex and their amazing holographic rainbow shinobi art, which I kept staring at for inspiration for how to Sparkle-Glamourfy this drawing.

My first thought was blackreach in Skyrim I'm not gonna lie. I got Skyrim on the brain
But I think the bottom of the well in Ocarina of Time gets my vote for how much I avoided the shit out of it as a kid. I got the Lens of Truth and cheesed the fuck outta there I was so scared
WAIT NO I CHANGE MY VOTE
No underground level in any game hosts the raw power of being the third strongest. The Desert Gold Mine level in Earthbound is the third best video game underground level. Beware.
You know what the One Ring is definitely made of pure gold. As in bona fide 100%. Sauron is that bitch who made sure every atom of his special boy magic ring was gucci. He loved looking fair and the Drowning of Númenor robbed him of his sunday best WAS NOT GONNA CHANGE THAT. And what else says Vogue more than ✨gold✨
But isn't gold uh you know the putty metal so squishy you can basically chew it and the addition of base metals actually makes it stronger and not uh play-doh
uhBITCH. This is the MaStEr RiNg the OnE rInG all the others are stinky BUT THIS ONE IS SPECIAL. I'M NOT STINKY YOU ARE.
"Into this ring Sauron poured all his malice and will to dominate all life" yeah and most of that juice was just for making the gold unsquishable. Stinky bitch.
@sixleggedboar it would have been really smart of me to check I had my asks turned on when I posted the ask game
ANYWAY
I promise no killy of the paarthy 💕
"Kill Paarthurnax" is the name of the quest Delphine and Esburn give the Player when they find out Paarthy's a dragon. Because they're stupid.
Anyway, in my little fic/snippet, my 4 Dragonborn OCs* have just been given the "Kill your Granpa Dragon or we'll hate u 5ever!!!! 🤬🚫💔" ultimatum by Delphine, and my world-hopping OC Morwenna is also there to just give some... extra info 👀
*Four DB OCs are Nosaga, Pra' Anaska, Deek-Vakka, and Psytar
(Please excuse the very scrappy formatting, this is a rough draft of a rough draft)
(Delphine thinks Morwenna's gonna argue against her and talk them out of it. She knows Morwenna has the whole "all life is sacred" attitude, which she thinks is foolish.)
Morwenna: Delphine, I understand your point of view. It's only reasonable for them to know the all facts before they make a decision, whether they do it alone or together. And I want you to hear what I have to say too.
Delphine: >:| (grumpy)
Morwenna: (continuing) If you four decide to fight, Paarthurnax will not be alone. Doubtless many dragons will come to his aide, and so will I.
Delphine: What?!
Morwenna: You and I have known each other a long time. But I have known Paarthurnax even longer. I will defend my friend no matter your prejudices against him.
Delphine: Prejudices?! He is a war criminal! He deserves death!
Morwenna: And he has spent lifetimes atoning for those crimes. Death is not justice. It is only revenge.
Morwenna: (to the DBs) You face a decision. Delphine has given you the Blades' position, now I offer you mine: the four of you are strong, especially when you work together. But I am stonger. Fight me, and you'll lose. I won't kill you, but I can't promise you won't be permanently injured.
(Morwenna smiles and leaves. Delphine glares at everyone and leaves too, but out a different door bc fuck Morwenna. Esbern leaves with her - he isn't mad, he's just disappointed.)
Pra' Anaska: "I can't promise you won't be permanently injured." Bah. What obnoxious preening.
Deek-Vakka: Hm. (says nothing, not sure if Pra' is right but also wanting to fill the awkward silence)
(Nosaga and Psytar catch each other's eye. Nosaga looks back at doorways, Psytar at Pra')
Psytar: Are you saying we should go through with Delphine's plan?
Pra': (hisses) Of course not! The Blade's head is full of hot smoke that clouds her vision. To kill Paarthurnax would be a foolish errand.
Deek: (relieved) I think whatever we do, we should all agree on it
Nosaga: (frowns) What? No of course not. Why would we even do that?
Psytar: Ahh honey, are you with us? We just had that whole speech from Delphine?
Nosaga: ...no, right. Yes, Delphine. Her request is absurd.
Pra': You weren't actually considering it, were you?
Nosaga: (offended) Don't be stupid.
Deek: (now concerned, not about Nosaga secretly wanting to kill Paarthurnax, but about whatever's got her spacing. Is Nosaga picking up on something?) What? What is it?
Nosaga: (says nothing, looks at doorway Morwenna exited through)
Nosaga: ...nothing
Bonus info! Nosaga is the only one of the group who has worked one-on-one with Morwenna. To the others, Morwenna is kinda a joke. Sure, Paarthurnax trusts her, but she's also just... weird. Spacey. Says things that don't make sense and then laughs at herself. But Nosaga has a feeling that the strange woman is being serious this time. 👀👀👀

Rules!!
Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!
I tag! @hidendumbassvillage @sharkymothfaby @sixleggedboar @unhingedpolycule @oncosis and ofc all the peeps who wanna
~✨
Oh boy. It's a doozy. I'm putting this nonsense under the cut. And I'm gonna give no hints to what these are about other than what's in the file names so if anyone does send an ask it's at their own peril mwehehehehe! Leeeeet's go!

Okay I lied here is some context for these next ones. These WIPS are all in one story, and the file names all start with "[Story Name chapter number.part]..." So instead of c&v that same thing over and over, I just put the tail end of the names (I warned you melodiouswanderer, you opened a can of worms 🪱)
