Low quality meme
I didnt draw the references of the first Council so I'm using not timeline accurate pics (and ambiguous dumac on the door if that's even him lmao)
shout out to elder scrolls fans who just really like random npcs that are relatively obscure. i've been a hirrus clutumnus enjoyer since 2014. there's hardly any discussion about him anywhere besides him dying

CLEANING THE SHOWER DRAIN AGAIN
Before this catches on with miserable adult babies reblogging to only add “KILL IT WITH FIRE” or some other idiotic, unfunny meme:
This is a mature female spider of the Nephila genus. I’m not sure the exact species, but members of this genus are also known as “golden silk orb weavers.” Their yellow-orange silk can be used to make golden cloth, like in this tapestry.
The bite of a Nephila isn’t serious. Wikipedia describes the worst case scenario - localized pain or a more severe allergic reaction - but most bitten will only experience a little itching. Like any spider, they only bite in self defense or when forcibly pressed against skin, and these big females are especially docile. I’ve held a related species on two occasions, they don’t scare very easily.
They’re so laid back, in fact, and so insistent on remaining in the same web, that these are the spiders some cultures have used as mosquito guards, deliberately setting them up to spin webs in open windows or over the top of a baby’s crib.
You can trust spiders with babies. Don’t be an asshat about your phobia plz. (By which I mean it’s perfectly okay to have a phobia and be afraid, but you don’t need to hate all spiders and wish they were all dead they didn’t do anything but get born spiders)
Since the old link to the golden tapestry is broken, here’s another one.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but be nice to fanfic authors. Reblog their stuff. Tell them you liked it. How you felt when reading. What school assignment you didn’t finish because of how captivating their story was. Don’t just scream to your friends about it. But tell them.
So many wonderfully talented people out there don’t get the praise they need. If their work brought you joy, make their day better by telling them it did.
Long ago I wrote a fic. Posted it under a different name without telling anyone in the fandom group I was active in. Watched how the online fandom group loved the fic and had a conversation of it in a positive spirit with each other - what did they like it, theories of this and that, how nice it was to get a new fic into this small fandom etc. - but did they leave feedback to the fic? No. I think it was only one person who commented the fic from the group.
I know the fan group liked the fic because I saw the outside comments. But, if I hadn’t seen them - like readers don’t - then I’d think the fic was not worth of my time and no one read it, or read it but didn’t care about it as it clearly was not worth of any comment.
We’re not telepathics. We don’t know. Tell the creators. They want it and appreciate the feedback. If we didn’t want you to interact with the stuff we create, like comment it/share it/reblog it/etc. we wouldn’t post the stuff online for you to see.
It occurs to me upon reading this that we don't have conversations like this in the comments to the author's fic---so much of fandom is interacting with each other about media we love, but in the fanfic comments section the conversation is almost just commenters talking directly to the author, and maybe the author talking back.
Nobody launches a metacommentary thesis for other readers to debate about in the AO3 comments, or has long comment threads gushing to each other about their favorite character's interactions; it's like the tendency to give the author space while we go play with their creations, a relic of our past when we weren't supposed to exist, has extended to fic authors who are themselves playing in the same mud we are.
We act like it's bad manners to love a fic in front of an author, in the ways the fandom that writes fanfic loves a fic.
And that shouldn't be the case.
They're one of us too.
I have had one or two fics where readers engaged with one another in the comments and I can say with 100% surety that it was REALLY COOL to see!!! Even if they weren’t talking to ME, they were talking about the thing I made where I could see it and that made me feel GREAT. Absolutely loved it.
I’m currently reading a fic with one of my best friends. every time it updates, the first person to see the AO3 email will text the other so that we can both open up the new chapter as soon as we can and binge read it. we live blog our reactions to each other.
but the important thing is, I don’t just leave it to die in our DMs! I copy-paste that shit right into the AO3 comment box!! the author loves it, and it barely takes any effort from me. everyone wins. remember that most of the things you say to a friend about a fic can be said to the author as well.
i just need to be unhinged for a moment
Lady Cassandra Dorell (neé Gautier)
If there was anyone who benefitted from the Montclair's incident, it would be Lady Cassandra Dorell; the second wife of Baron Alard Dorell. He wedded her about eight years after his first wife passed away and gave him three children... Adrian, Genevieve and Regina. Smart children, they were mere shadows compared to Ellic Dorell, their half-brother and the heir of Northpoint.
However, with Ellic failed to defend Northpoint against the Montclair and even went as far as being seduced by Lleraya Montclair, Baron Alard Dorell decided to imprison and disown his eldest son. With Ellic gone, Cassandra's son Adrian was named the heir of Northpoint.
"Perhaps even the most terrible of tragedies has Akatosh' light shining upon it," she once said. Cassandra fled with her young children away from Northpoint just a night before Lleraya's arrival.
Maybe she knew something?
(I added noise filter to my art because I heard it protects art from being stolen by generative AI and ended up liking the result🩷 it added texture that I always struggle with)
