welcome to my blog!

Important: if you would like to save lives and receive bespoke fanfiction for your effort, please check out my blood donation post. I will write you a fic of at least 1,000 words in exchange for proof of blood donation.

Anyway! I'm Vin, and this is my high fantasy sideblog, where you'll find mostly Elder Scrolls and Baldur's Gate 3, with a little Tolkien sprinkled in. My main is @orbitalmirror, where you will mostly find Star Wars, so all likes/follows/asks will come from there.

All nsfw content is tagged #nsfp. I don’t use any other warning tags, but please let me know if I forget to tag adult content!

I'm a huge fan of Oblivion and Skyrim, and though I've never played Morrowind and I really never got into ESO, I'm trying to learn more about the lore!

Currently, I'm writing an AU fic where the Oblivion Crisis started in 3E 407, when Martin was a still a postulant of the church in the aftermath of the whole Daedra incident. I've got four OCs for that fic, which makes a veritable D&D party's worth of characters, and I have a post about them here. Feel free to scroll through the tag #young martin au if you want to check out my writing related to that story.

Please send me asks and tell me about your OCs!! I'm very friendly :)

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

Morgen Tavriel, Cleric of Lathander

This is my Tav, illustrated by the fantastically talented @87000beesinapersonsuit!! Thank you so much for this, Nita.

Before the events of BG3, Morgen was the Dawnmaster (head priest) at the temple in Neverwinter. Her fellow Dawnmasters have dubbed her "Lathander's Grumpiest Soldier", which she insists is an exaggeration, but despite her protests, her reputation as a hardass and a curmudgeon precedes her. Before she became a cleric, she tried very hard to become a paladin, but she found that channeling the Weave through prayer came far more easily to her than through the sheer power of Rizz™ (of which she has...rather little).

[labskeever]

I was possessed, and now I'm shipping her with Gale?

imagine your pompous self-important ass of a colleague finally fumbles it with the goddess of magic, he goes into isolation for two years, is stripped of most his magic, and youre revelling in the schadenfreude, only for him to show up with a baddie hanging off his arm, skin glowing, a stable job, a hero of baldur's gate, a new, humble(r), #blessed 🙏 attitude, and a wedding invite. id chew off my arm.

Another TES Medical Headcanon :3

So I was thinking about how magically closing wounds would work in Tamriel and tied that in with my nursing knowledge on wound healing and also negative-pressure wound therapy :))

In order for this to make sense, you need to understand how wounds actually heal. This is very much the oversimplified version because it gets complicated. But anyway! Wounds heal in four stages. 1. The wound wound will bleed, and your platelets form a nice blood clot to stop the bleeding. 2. Your immune system goes in to help clean up the area and stimulate new tissue growth. 3. It starts to make new tissue to fill in the gap. This tissue is granulation tissue, and it fills in the wound from the bottom up. 4. After the granulation tissue has built up the base layer, your top layer of skin cells close in from the outside to cover up the wound with fresh new skin. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an awesome invention in the wound care world. IRL, NPWT gets used for non-healing wounds and ulcers, partial-thickness burns, complex surgical wounds and more things that my sleep deprived butt can't think of right now XD. NPWT works by maintaining the moisture balance of a wound, stimulating granulation tissue, closing wound edges and removing wound debris and exudate through continuous suction of the wound.

I imagine that the restoration spell close wounds would work like a superspeed, extra fast-forwarded version of NPWT. Much like how you can't start NPWT on an actively bleeding wound, you can't use close wounds on an actively bleeding wound as it will cause more bleeding. So, healers will apply pressure to the wound to stop bleeding, before casting close wounds. Once the bleeding has stopped, and the healer can clearly see the base of the wound, they give it a good clean with whatever tonic they are carrying in their satchel, and then, it is safe to cast close wounds! When casting close wounds on a wound, it draws the granulation tissue up from the bottom to fill in the wound, and helps to bring the edges closer together. However, it may not be able to fully close the wound depending on it's size. In that case, the wound needs to be properly dressed or sutured up so that it can finish healing.

I do think that because using the close wounds spell works so fast, the skin around the wound is less likely to become macerated, however, in compromised skin, maceration could occur. I also headcanon that if close wounds is cast poorly, (too strong, too fast, wrong area hit) it can cause hypergranulation, bleeding or just more damage to the wound in general, so healers need to do plenty of training to make sure that they can safely close a wound.

No I didn't do a whole design just to make the Weavechair pun. That was coincidence.

Martin as a character drives me crazy because the archetypal secret heir to the throne is a warrior so pure of heart that he can easily rise to the task & we get a middle aged priest who is so sad and wet and sweet and will do whatever he can but clearly feels the crushing weight of his new role far too heavily.

Just look at him. Someone please give him a job as a librarian and a cat.
