Runa

Blog for my dorky ocs. I occasionally do some art.

[runathequiet]

Heya. I go by Rika or Runa (she/her). I play video games, I write stories, I have wayyyy too many ocs, and sometimes I try to draw.

Main blog where I post just about everything, cuz I'm too lazy/ADHD to run multiple blogs. Will get better at tagging. Please let me know if there are particular things you'd like me to tag to be filtered properly.

Askbox/Messages is always open! I'm a little shy to initiate conversation sometimes, but I'm always happy to chat. Also open to discussing RP.

Chronic Pain/Illness + Fibromyalgia + Fatigue + Mental Health struggles mean that replies may be slow even when I’m “Online”/actively reblogging things. I promise I’m not “anti-social”, I just have a low social battery, and I’m often doomscrolling and reblogging to destress- not ignoring anyone when I take a while to respond, I just like to actually be in a proper headspace to reply thoroughly.

I mostly enjoy TES and Dragon Age, lots of OCs for both, still working on pages for them, and will update tags as I build things up. Will also try to keep up tags for things that are not related to this, like a "not tes" and "not da" tags, but can't really promise I'll remember each time (sorry for y'all who followed me for Morrowind stuff from the start lmao).

I also have an "Original World/Story" of sorts called Knotted Threads (KT for short). Lots of OC's there as well, and while I have a "cannon setting/plots" of sorts, it's honestly also a world that I created to share with friends, be it for RP or Writing or just in general for fun. If you take an interest in it, want to make OCs for it, and play pretend with me in a dramatic multicultural world, I'd be incredibly honored and probably love you forever.

Will update this post with proper Tags/Links as I build things up.

Of all the tags on this post this is the one that worries me most

[butchfagminotaur]

the sims will never not be one of the funniest games on the planet

[runathequiet]

Kinda like the idea that different Houses in Morrowind probably have different accents/ways of speech, especially between regions- ei Vvardenfell Hlaalu might have a different "accent" than mainland/Narsis Hlaalu accent, if that makes sense?

Thinking of this got me realizing, in this headcannon scenario, Tilven would have grown up with a "Vvardenfell Hlaalu" accent, considering his adoptive mother used to be part of a Hlaalu family branch. Which is hilarious to me, cuz Tilven kinda hates House Hlaalu, but for his formative years, he has that accent.

[villainessbian]

a MANGAL is a swamp whose soil concentrates high amounts of salt and very low amounts of oxygen, supporting little else than mangrove trees

a PEATLAND is a wetland whose soil concentrates decaying organic matter, becoming peat

Oh yeah baby, keep coming at me with watery environmental states

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?

“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?

“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.

 You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

[nope-the-weeb-deactivated202408]

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

[prof-grace-aspen]

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

These tags were too perfect to not include

In case y'all need pictures sorry it aint in crayon 🖍️-

[ilynpilled]

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure, redemptive, or salvific. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

when you say something awkward and stupid in a social situation that probably no one will remember except you for the rest of time

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

[noelle-ism]

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.

Study for a self-portrait with a scrib. 3E 217.

I miss my scrib Anya. One of the ash ghouls back in Mamaea left the gate open and she ran away. It's ok though, I don't think she would have liked it here in Dagoth Ur.
