besides the TES community, i am equally as active in the alterhuman community, and have been for about a decade. certified cringe lover, believer in the most esoteric and unbelievable. desert witch who's actually a dogman in a skinsuit.
due to my disabilities, i make a lot of typos and may take extra time to get back to pings, messages, and asks. please be patient when interacting with me <3
yk, i'm really not happy here. i want to be, but i find myself doing nothing but mostly complaining about how toxic this community is over and over. leaving and coming back constantly... it's just an unhealthy obligation atp. remaining on this site feels like beating a dead horse. i'm infinitely happier on toyhouse and discord tes communities that are smaller and healthier. sooo many of yall have told me to not let the assholes win, but im afraid they are not worth my energy enough to even stay on tumblr. i've only had a handful of people be gross towards me, but it's jarring when it's the same people who go around harassing SO many others. calling this behavior out will just result in drama and no progress here, unfortunately.
there's no winning or losing. i just think most people here are mean, quite frankly. why stay around if we've normalized this kind of behavior so much?
i can ignore them, yes - but to be very honest with you guys, i struggle with very severe c-ptsd, and any sort of stress caused by people is extremely debilitating for me. i'm not at the part of my healing journey where i can just rationalize it and move on. :( i need safer options.
i have my tes server with over 60 members who are SO awesome and kind - and i want to invite any of my mutuals there who wish to see more tes stuff and interact with a very awesome and open community elsewhere. i truly don't care about keeping tesblr alive anymore. </3
i know it seems ironic as i have a post complaining about tes servers, but tbh? it's mostly tesblr tes servers. i'm not gonna let those previous opinions of mine stop me from finding a community somewhere else

GENERAL
Name: Vivild Fandas
Age: 39 years old (at the very beginning of the game, 40 at the start of Skywriter)
The first pic is his most recent look. But I'm also including a couple of old pieces of him below
BACKGROUND:
Vivild's is part breton and part bosmer. In his eyes, his story starts at the age of 13, when he woke up one morning with his father's assurance at his bedside. There's very little he remembers from before that, in fact, he remembers nothing at all. All he could do was rely on what his father, Mertthe told him; that he was found as a wee young boy and raised alongside his younger sister, Vermith, and that his memory loss by have something to do with a very bad hit to the head and not much could be done about it. Because of that, he found little reason to question anything about himself.
Vivild lived out his years in Cyrodiil choosing to explore the regions over living in the confinements of the city that Mertthe wanted for him, choosing instead to learn from skilled hunters and fighters how to hunt game properly out in the wild. He deeply respected his father's ideals, of course, he knew the man to be very skilled as a mage and teacher but in the end love of magic never tugged at him. Instead both he and his sister loved more physical skills over the arcane, something they both shared a love for equally.
Unfortunately, that bond between him and his sister seemed to grow more and more distant by the day. At first it seemed like she was upset with him, but no amount of apologies or questions on how to fix what he was sure he had broken seemed to work. Dinners became quiet and tense, that if anyone tried to break would probably cause a heated enough argument to needlessly dampen everyone’s mood. But very soon she had begun to fully avoid him. He never let it try to get to him, but it did hurt to know she didn’t seem to like him any longer. As a peace offering he tried to earn enough money on the side for them to achieve the one goal they shared since they were young: The chance to explore the world from beyond the city. And earn enough they soon did. But little did they realise a skirmish near the borders would end up not only separating them both for good, but turning their lives around forever.
Vermith had been faster to react and had managed to escape, but in turn left him behind. And as the well-known story unfolds, he wakes up in a wagon, dressed in rags and hands bound, carted along with other prisoners towards a town called ‘Helgen’.
══════════════════
NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Canon
Vittoria Vici: “Oh to be young, stupid, and in love again…”
Childhood friend and ex-girlfriend. She was the first person he ever dated back when they were still teens and had a fairly happy relationship. However, all good things always have to come to an end. The Vici house was of high status; something the Fandas were not. And because of that, social standing ended up becoming priority over young love. They remained friends, however they lost contact once Vittoria took over the Eastern Empire company completely. But Vivild hopes that one day they could rekindle that friendship again.
Delphine: “I loved her once. In fact, a part of me still does care for her, but I'd be too much of a fool to think we could reignite what passion was long gone.”
Throughout dealing with the dragon menace he eventually developed feelings for her, and despite how infuriating she seemed to find him to deal with at first, those feelings were soon returned. Their little romance was short-lived and looking back, he shoudl have figured it wouldn't last. Delphine was too goal-focused and he was, according to her, not taking the threats seriously enough (which isn't remotely true). Not to mention they both had their opposing opinions of certain subjects such as The Greybeards. Their relationship fell apart when Paarthurnax entered the picture and Vivild was presented with an ultimatum. They haven't spoken since Alduin's fall…
Hadvar: “He’s a sheep, but I can’t help but feel fondness over him.”
A nord imperial soldier he found himself growing fond of against his own will. He found the man impossibly annoying at first given him singing praises for an army that had previously tried to have him killed for no given reason, but overtime it was his sympathy that won him over. The more time he spent around him, the more Vivild found himself not only enjoying his company but actively seeking it out.
(Eventual love interest, but it takes them SO long to get there)
Serana:
An eventual friend of his later down the line. There was a little wariness of her at first, given her vampirism, but Vivild eventually pushes that aside in order to help her. The two become steadfast friends and there was nothing he'd trade that for on any day at all.
Valdr:
Saved his life once, and although they hadn’t bonded as well yet, Vivild is still willing to consider the man a friend.
Ahkari:
His travels have often had him passing by Ahkari's caravan, and the two ended up conversing quite often, trading their goods and sharing their stories of their individual adventures. Vivild appreciates Ahkari a lot, and finds her rather admirable, understanding to the extent that feeling of always having trouble follow them around. There are many times where he'd sit himself and simply… talk the day away with the Khajiit.
Odahviing:
Look, when he said “call for me when you have need and I’ll come if I can” Vivild took that as not only a sign of alliance but a potential bond of friendship. He likes the dragon a lot, and does often call for him in times when he’s outnumbered or in need of more… aerial aid. That or to simply have a chat as well. Someone needs to stop him from going rusty when speaking in dovahzul, right?
────────────────
Skywriter-verse (OCs)
Mertthe Fandas: “My boy, your heart is so great, yet so easy to wound… You’re just like me when I was your age.”
Vivild loves his father a lot, and is eternally grateful for his care throughout all his years. There are plenty of frustrations especially regarding his lack of recollection, but he trusted his father that he'd eventually get those back.
Vermith Fandas: “What happened to us?”
He cares a lot about her but… he's not really sure how much of that is reciprocated. In truth, Vivild feels like Vermith and him had drifted apart over the time they grew older, and he cannot figure out why. A part of him also feels rather ashamed he never went looking for her after Helgen had happened, despite the world's end taking precedence. He only hopes he could make up for that one day…
Kadota: “Strange as he can be, there’s no one he’d rather have at his side.”
A bosmer that had actively put himself in his personal space until Vivild started appreciating him too much to let him go. He’s one of the first real proper friends he had made in the province. They got off at a slight rocky start, what with Vivild feeling overwhelmed by the discovery of being dragonborn, and Kadota’s confusion over all of the current events helping him very little, but the man’s steadiness and calm, though unusual to him, is something he greatly appreciates.
Maryam: “An eager little wolf with a strong heart, and quick wits.”
A young little girl he ends up taking under his wing when her parents abandon her. She’s rather spritely and eager to learn, always soaking up every detail of his adventures as though she were a sponge. He hopes he could give her a proper home and life someday, instead of making her travel with him and his companion non-stop the way he is.
══════════════════
EXTRA
Strengths
Two-handed wielding: Vivild’s preferred weapon is any giant two-handed weapon, preferably greatswords or battleaxes. Anything he can use and swing in a large arch and cut something down with both hands holding onto it is his first weapon of choice.
Very Charismatic: While there are situations he can’t talk his way out of, most of the time Vivild has a way with words. With a charming smile and a tone sweet as honey to accompanying a gentle demeanour that’s willing to hear out anyone’s woes. But also one that’s willing to sweet-talk his way out of a situation if need be.
Resilience: Is he the Akatosh's favourite little princess? Or just extremely lucky? It’s anyone’s guess, but Vivild could be battered and beaten down and still remain standing without his strength giving way.
Altruism: A man with a heart that wants nothing more that to be of use to others. Vivild is always willing to push aside his needs to take care of the need of others.
Weaknesses
Magic: In the past he wasn't too shabby at it. In fact, his father told him he practiced the craft pretty well. However, Vivild has endured one head injury too many, which has severely impacted his ability to cast even the most simple spells. Casting a familiar is something he can do rather easily (much to his relief), but anything else requires far too much effort to try, if he can even succeed to will his magicka for it. It's a matter he's rather bitter about, but he makes do by relying on his strength... and any needed potions he can get his hands on.
Stubbornness: Hardheaded and reckless. Vivild is not too willing to admit when he’s at his lowest point, always pushing his strength past its limits.
Snappiness: Now Vivild know he's powerful and how much strength the thu'um has. Which does not pair well with any layers of frustration he may encounter. Since he was younger the one way it would manifest is through him snapping. Now pair that with vocal powers, and you're left with someone that now refuses to talk in a bout of anger.
A Bleeding Heart: Vivild, in the wake of anyone needing help, cannot bring himself to deny it. Whether it's money, healing, protection, you name it, he'll do whatever is needed. It doesn't matter what he might have been doing until then, the needs of others would always end up taking priority over anything. This can land him in some serious trouble. The man is too trusting and if time-constraint isn't a problem, then some can easily take advantage of this kindness. And there are no few number of times where they had.
══════════════════
No Interest in:
Power – Modest to a fault, Vivild has no interest in obtaining almighty strength to wield over others. In fact, the notion of having something like that scares him.
Fame – Vivild doesn't care for titles or recognition. It's too much pressure for him to endure, and the role of dragonborn is already too much for him at times. If he could, he’d rather be a nobody. But alas, his title barely allows him to do that.
The Daedric Princes – Vivild has little care nor desire to make dealings with them and that's not about to change anytime soon.
No concept of:
Self-worth – Vivild has built his whole self around serving others, which had only gotten worse with the discovery of being dragonborn. He does not see himself as his own person and with all the pressure put on his shoulders when it came to stopping Alduin, he had come to accept that pretty much everyone else views him the same way. He was supposed to be strong, he was supposed to protect everyone, he was supposed to fight he was— he was supposed to be this big, legendary hero. Any short-comings weren’t an option. And if he has them… well it’s best to shelf them and deal with them later, because who’s going to care what he thinks and feels anyway?
Physical limit – Granted, he is aware that he has limits, but in a lot of cases he will recklessly push past them. He’ll go days without proper rest, he’ll walk himself lame if he has an injury, drink himself foolish with potions, anything to just keep going. Anything to stay upright and stay bloody strong, until his final breath.
Vivild strives to be as kind to others the way he had received it. Raised with a gentle hand he wants nothing but the best for everyone that’s around him, and never hesitates to offer assistance whenever it’s needed. From charity to beggars, to helping someone carry their things, or even just talking to someone to make their day. He is a man of the people, and is never afraid to show that. He’s rather youthful, always greeting one with a smile or quick to charm someone.
Vivild has a rather simple approach to life, often making him seem rather naive. While he’s well-read and understands matters in theory, in practice he’s weak in many directions, such as catching on when someone may have bad intentions or anything related to political spheres. He doesn’t consider himself the smartest cookie and would rather stay away from such matters and decisions that could affect the lives on a larger scale. But unfortunately he can’t always avoid them.
On the other end though, he’s easily stressed out. When problems and situations begin to pile up, he can get overwhelmed rather quickly. During moments like this, when reaching a breaking point he’ll react in two ways, and neither of them are calm: He’ll either get snappy with a person or cry, and there’s no in between there. Vivild will often than not wear his heart on his sleeve, and is unafraid to really show that. There are no few times where he isn’t reduced to tears whether out of sheer joy, or something that might have upset him.
══════════════════
In battle:
Vivild's strength lies in, well, his strength, and endurance. He can withstand heavy enough blows and block them efficiently enough. He has a preference for melee ranged fighting, using a two-handed battleaxe (and having taken a huge liking to one made out of orsinum). Although that doesn't stop him from using a bow from time to time and eventually switching to a crossbow once he got his hands on one.
While unafraid of the craft, Vivild knows little about utilising magic, and has little interest in learning. There are only a couple of spells he knew how to cast, which were healing spells to help him and others around him and how to conjure a familiar. Healing spells are now near beyond his limit for him...
His familiar takes the form of a Lynx and would often show when he's in need of assistance in the battlefield or otherwise. Sometimes even seeking out others for him when he's in need of aid.
══════════════════
Distinguishing marks:
Vivild's left ear is torn, the scar crossing over half his face. He had previously taken a very bad strike to the head from a troll which had left him rather roughed up. The damage left him going deaf on his left side.
He has several lash marks on his back that he doesn't really know how he obtained them.
Permanent eyebags. This man's ability to sleep is A Problem™.
══════════════════
TRIVIA:
He stands at 5’10
His hair is very long. Down to his knees in fact. He prefers to wear it down, tying back a part of it with two braids and a ribbon, but would sometimes wear it up in a bun. Especially when exploring caverns or ruins
Vivild has an incredibly soft-spot for children. If asked to play he will drop everything to do so. He's also rather good with them as well and doesn't mind playing baby-sitter if asked. There is always a toy in his bag to give to a child as a means of cheering them up.
He is devoted to the teachings of Dibella and has had no few amount of lovers and flings in between them. When dedicated to a serious relationship Vivild will, however, devote his attention to that individual. The quality of the relationship matters to him far more than the quantity.
Vivild owns a horse; a giant, shire-like, dapple-grey mare called Orka. He bought her from a travelling merchant coming in from Skyrim who was trying to sell her when she was still five, and instantly fell in love with her. He loves and cares for that creature with all his heart and soul, considering her to be akin to that of a soulmate of his.
Vivild's familiar isn't just his partner in battle, but also his support in times of distress. He's conditioned himself to call upon it whenever moments of stress and anxiety were to show.
Due to their lacking intrigue in the arcane arts, both Vivild and his sister were convinced by their father to at least attend the bard's college. Vivild revelled in the art of music, and is rather talented as a singer. He can also play the lute as well. A lot of the time, he could subconsciously tap into an inborn ability of using thaumavocalism in his songs, but it's unknown if he can do so now, nor he has yet to realise that this is something he can do. If the call for adventure didn’t tempt him more, Vivild might have chosen to make a living as a bard instead.
Vivild rarely curses. He doesn’t find any need for it. A 'damn' might slip past his tongue here and there, but otherwise nothing extreme. It’s only moments of greater distress or anger that he would let out a curse or two at anyone.
Vivild has dealt with a lot of head injuries, which messes with his ability to retain information and sleep. If nightmares aren’t keeping him up, then insomnia is doing that. He gets headaches and bouts of dizziness as well
reminder to my mutuals that i am not very social on this site! i mostly just come here to post and then leave. if anyone ever wants to chat about TES, my discord is always open :] i even have that little private 18+ tes server that i've mentioned before. i'm also much more active on Toyhouse
Tagging: @lady-iizsil @pinessydr @illumiera @hircines-hunter @umbracirrus @lobo-inu @pocket-vvardvark @dirty-bosmer and whoever wishes to join!!
Its been a while since I last posted in these tag games a missed a LOT, but im kinda back :)
Im taking into writing again and rewriting this chapter. I smile everytime I write Vilkas' pov is so depressing and a rabbit hole of many "what ifs" meanwhile Anneberry is mostly vibing xD.
Here have a piece of younger Vilkas (a year or two ago) butting heads with Kodlak (surprising but he told me they argued...?)
i think that his younger self would be a little bit stuck-up, argumentative, prideful and even more stubborn that gave his Harbinger headaches. The way, he grew into the man that trusts Kodlak blindly today as you see him in game is because the times he failed, was because he did not listen to Kodlak. So it does explain a bit why is he protective of Anneberry almost right away, believing that anyone who comes into his life is sworn to die on Brynjar's jaws.
And certainly, he doesn't want that kind of fate for Anneberry...

thanks so much for the tag Nani! <3 i haven't done one of these in awhile. i've honestly been much more focused on video games and a huge non-TES art trade as of late lol.
🖤【Lydia's Tarot】 - despite Robin's card still being a major WIP, i decided to go ahead and start Lydia's while i had the inspiration! this is just a small snippet, as so far it's mostly just her horse. x)
🖤【Were-Miraak ???】 - a very mediocre were-Miraak i doodled to try and break out of a momentary art slump. i think it's best if i just go back and redraw it from scratch. @_@
🖤【Robin/Miraak cuddles】 - what i hope to eventually be a fully rendered room study as well!
🖤【too many Miraaks】 - doodles upon doodles of this guy, including his reference sheet wip still. i've been having big feelings about him as of late, which includes a huge also WIP post i have in my drafts at the moment. in the last one they are simply um.....
Heading into the final stretch of artfight with some more elder scrolls art! The first image is @peachwoodarts' ESO ocs Jo'Aravi and Ardalwen Ceruaire with Jo'Aravi's pet squirrel Ananda, and the second one is @lobo-inu's Skyrim oc Robin and their Miraak with their dog Kavik.
been doing some research for @tes-tarot... i find it very funny that Aspen trees are used as an anti-theft herb in real-world magick, only for them to be found only in the Rift in Skyrim, of all places. xD not sure if that was on purpose or merely just a great coincidence
IRL Barberry being used in magick for "cleansing, sorcery, atonement, freeing oneself from the power or control of another," which you could assume insinuates to curses, hexes, etc...... TES Barbleberry being used as a powerful diuretic in anti-venom.
something something both flushing out the negative influence from your body. hmm. how queer how quaint
much more on the nose here, but they also seem to take IRL magickal inspiration from Belladonna!
Belladonna in TES:
"When consumed, the berries are said to purge the body of evil energies." source
"You will need one unit of ripened berries during the Rite of the Wolf Giver quest to cure yourself of Lycanthropy." source
Belladonna in real-life magick:
"Healing & forgetting past loves. Provides protection when placed in a secret place in the home." source
"...She can also help us in removing of toxic situations and people (Saturn) and providing offensive protection (Mars). Belladonna is a combination of Saturnian energy being a poisonous plant, and Martial force due to her aggressive and protective nature." source

officially getting to work on @tes-tarot today! i'm writing a huge google doc of different themes, and of course different prompts for each theme :) so far i've separated the tarot major arcana into 2 different sections (that way we can have a break between tarot-specific prompts). there's also divination prompts and herbal prompts, but i'm still brainstorming on others at the moment.
it's looking like i'll have quite literally years worth of prompts, if we do one prompt a month... i might also add optional every-2-week prompts as well, for those who desire a faster pace. my inbox is open again, please let me know what you think / if you have any ideas!
