Inactivity Update: Semi-Hiatus

Because of a concussion, which ended with a trip to the ER, the mun has been offline entirely to speed up recovery. They are still recovering from the damage, and will be offline for forseeable future. I am writing this out to inform their followers, and we hope you understand. —Mun’s s/o

[After much consideration, I’m putting this blog on indefinite hiatus to recover completely. My injuries are healed, but I’ve never felt more drained. I’m going to work on home projects, and get my self together. Thank you for all your well wishes, and the infinite patience of my beloved followers. Mutuals- If you want to chat off tumblr, send me a private message and I’ll give you my discord name. Thank you again for all your support.]

This is your local Scandinavian telling y’all that Norse mythology has a goddess called Lofn who is a goddess of love and bringing together those ‘for whom marriage was forbidden or banned’, and I’m not saying she said gay rights, but she totally said gay rights.

I low-key ship our muses

When we discuss the Imperial involvement in the events of Morrowind, some things should be taken into consideration. Above all, the Empire doesn’t want the Nerevarine to save Morrowind per se, it is interested in saving Morrowind as an Imperial province instead.

Dealing with Dagoth Ur threat? Great! Undermining the Tribunal? Even better! Setting the Nerevarine against anti-Imperial / separatist elites (e.g., Orvas Dren, Bolvyn Venim, Gothren)? Excellent!

And if our pocket heroes start to misbehave, we have enough blackmail material to destroy them. They come to Morrowind as prisoners, and it’s rather easy to fabricate the proof that they were convicted for raping corpses or something equally disgusting. This is pure speculation on my part, sure…

However, the game itself gives us much more tangible proof of the Blades’ conspiracy: the very first missions Cauis gives us look suspiciously like some sort of stitch-up. The Nerevarines start their spy career with scavenging from Dwemeri ruins, which is indeed a crime against Imperial law.

But the next step - the deal with Sharn gra-Muzgob - is much, much worse. The woman asks us to desecrate a Dunmeri ancestral tomb and steal a particular skull for her rituals, which is one of the most dreadful, wretched things we could do in the eyes of local population. Moreover, Sharn is lying: she says that Llevule Andrano was a simple wizard while in reality he was a canon of the Tribunal Temple, and well-loved by lord Vivec on top of it.

Caius knows perfectly well that the woman is a necromancer, and the information she’s able to provide us with is pretty trivial. Why endanger your precious agent so much? Stealing a skull of a god-blessed mer? How scandalous! And if the Nerevarines try to pull some anti-Imperial trick, well…

One of my friends thinks that the Blades killed (or tried to kill) the Nerevarine after the events of the game and spread the rumors about the Akavir trip to throw everybody off track - charming, but rather effective :D

Azura’s look in daggerfall was the best because not only was she femme, she was also a lovely brown woman, that’s like the most powerful lesbian ever

Who on Nirn would have thought, that giving Elanor a big ass war axe and telling her to pay a visit to Ulfric would end in disaster?

[aiboumatsu]

My brain 90% of the time: Sheo!Hok and Akatosh!Martin kissing and being immortal, forming a “I was a mortal but mantled a god and it’s really confusing” support group.

My hell brain other 10% of the time: Sheo!Hok and Akatosh!Martin being bitter exes who still love each other but the whole daedra thing really soiled their relationship and now the only thing they can do is reminiscing. Also sometimes they meet and usually it ends with even more drama. :)

AZURA

her skin is made of stars and her veil of light and her appearance always shifts to look the most attractive to you because she’s like that

[siilidoodles]

“I am whatever the people need me to be. A guardian. An oppressor. For some, too distant. For others, too meddlesome.”

(tes) lycanthrope headcanons

-lycanthropy gives human races pointier ears and teeth. most human lycanthropes grow long hair to cover their ears, and some grow facial hair to obscure their mouth somewhat.

-lycanthropes are extraordinarily loyal to their loved ones. even a previously unfaithful person will become trustworthy after conversion.

-lycanthropes can eat raw meat even without using their beast form.

-most lycanthropes that don’t seek a cure also don’t willingly transform often, as the process is painful.

-lycanthropes have incredible hearing, which sometimes results in symptoms similar to that of selective sound sensitivity or hypersensitive sensory processing disorder.

-their sense of smell is the same way.

-lycanthropes are great at teamwork and often form close bonds with people they work with.

❝ You reek of death…I like it. ❞

“Really? I thought I covered the scent well,” Cereza mused, crossing her arms and looking around. Faintly, the odor of blood and sweat surrounds her.

[captain-helbaron]

What did I do wrong? Was I boring? Did I ignore you? -boethedragonborn

“Boe,” Cereza jolts, having been avoiding the other like they carried the plague for the better part of a week now. “It— it is not you, you have done nothing wrong… I simply… needed space,” she explains lamely, not yet willing to jeopardize their relationship with her secret.

For the better part of a week, she had been trapped in her lycanthrope form, gorging on hearts of fallen bandits and witches like a monster. She didn’t want Boe to see her like that.

[troubledtwins]

Boe wasn’t quite willing to believe it wasn’t something they had done or said. “A-are you s-sure? I c-can m-make it up to y-you if I-I did…or d-do you s-still n-need space?” Boe wasn’t good at stuff like this. Maybe they should have stayed away.

[captain-helbaron]

“No, no, no, please don’t—“ she stops herself, feeling a wave of nausea hit her, shaking it off as she resumes speaking, praying this is just a passing feeling and not imminent transformation. “Don’t go yet... please.”

[aang-the-last-motherfucker]

I’m shook.

so I’m playing ESO Summerset and doing this real neat and clever quest where this lady is liked “my twin bro gave up the chance to train with amazing mages to join an acting troupe. this is the worst decision he ever made on top of ditching me. please help me find him because all the actors wear masks.”

so i go through the motions and find a dancer who has a scar like the lady mentioned and he said he used to be a mage. but the troupe leader convinces me that I should think about the brother and what he wants and we put a stop to the sister’s plan to unmask the actor to get him kicked out.

sister pisses off and is going to be thrown out of town. So i go to the troupe leader and she confesses that SHE’S the twin! Now she had said briefly that I should be careful in picking whom I thought was the bro because some people hide their gender on top of hiding their faces, so it’s not quite 100% out of the blue.

 I convince her to talk with her sis and she reveals herself to be her twin and apologizes for lying, but she just didn’t want to be something she wasn’t anymore–mainly a mage.

AND THEN the troupe leader/twin says to me “hey, if you want to ever stop bythe troupe house, I’d love to chat more” and that is after the quest. it’s pretty rare for there to be stuff to do/learn after the quest, but with Morrowind, there have been a few things. So I go and find her because I have aa feeling I know what it’s about. anyone who doesn’t quite catch what the quest is REALLY about might not think much and just think “ya she probs just will say ‘hey thanks for helping me out” because that how most of these quests go. NPCs give you like 3 lines about what they’re up to know and then just rinse and repeat.

but I went and it got a whole lot better. This convo was clearly meant for people who knew what the end of the quest was really about.

Not only does she admit that  she was uncomfortable living as a man so she transitioned she also explains that there are plenty of trans folk across tamriel and some go about their self learned identity in different ways.

this is why I fuck with Bethesda and Todd Howard. they have always been including like real people and real stories into their games. they’ve always allowed you to gay marry anyone, they’ve tossed in gays here and there, and finally they gave us a transwoman. Other games are just weak and they are cowards
