It had been a long day— by Azura, it had been a long week! Erra sighed to himself as he weaved through the bustling streets of Maar Gan. The second Turdas of every month was always a little chaotic in the market square as vendors set up their stalls for the Monthly Night Markets. He did not mind; it is just that so many people in one spot still left him a little overwhelmed at times. Even after fifteen years of living with the settled Dunmer, the crowds were something he just could not get used to. Especially when he had been on the road for days. He supposed that was why he chose to settle in Maar Gan, rather than Ald’ruhn or Vivec City. The outpost, with its sizable Velothi population situated on the edge of the Redoran-Ashlands, made him feel less homesick. Yes, business in Ald’ruhn was more lucrative, and it would have been smarter to try to set up in the heart of Redoran lands. Those would have been smarter decisions, yes. But he would have been miserable.

Hey, I finally finished it!

Character Trivia!! 🩷🩷

Thank you to @cresu @neloths-tea @sulphuricgrin for tagging me!!

Name: Kayla Seran

Age: 24 at the start of fic / TES 5 events

Occupation: Last Dragonborn, Listener / Assassin for Dark Brotherhood, former-ish Harbinger of the Companions

Background: Kayla was born in Cheydinhal, Cyrodiil as the youngest to her Imperial mother and Dunmer father. Kayla grew up with two older brothers: the oldest brother Gavin is an Imperial Legion Captain (he’s also the most human/imperial looking of the siblings but does have red iris’) and her second oldest brother named Julian is a bit of mercenary rogue type (the most Dunmer looking of the siblings with typical gray color skin, the classic red Dunmer eyes and elvish ears). Kayla’s mother was originally a priestess of Mara at the local temple and her father is a ‘mercenary / sword for hire’ (he’s a dark brotherhood assassin and does do mercenary work but that also serves as his cover LOL).

More under the cut! It’ll be too long if I don’t add it 💖 (also here’s drawings of her, her two brothers, and her mom and dad :3 )

Notable Relationships: OH BOY! I’m gonna restrict this to actual Skyrim NPC’s otherwise it’ll be too long lol

Miraak ❤️: well we probably all know this one 💀 I could yap about then forever so I’ll keep it brief! Kayla and Miraak end up doing the Enemies to Allies to Friends to Lovers route 👍❤️ eventuallyyyyyy they get married and have kids and goddamn someone give Kayla some sort of Medal of Honor for having 5 kids with Miraak smh

Vilkas 😬: you KNOW I gotta bring up this one LMAO SO! Kayla and Vilkas were nearlyyyy on the cusp of being an actual couple but that gets hastily interrupted by a cultist attack that leads her to venture to Solstheim for a few months 👀Kayla sets Vilkas in charge while she’s gone and eventually she also leaves the Companions and names him the harbinger in her place YEUP. It’s a whole thing. Vilkas still has feelings for Kayla even after time has passed and they were in fact very good friends for a while before the other stuff comes up. Someone previously mentioned in this post is a DAY ONE NUMBER ONE HATER of Vilkas for more reasons than 1-and it’s great 🙌 gotta love drama

Teldryn Sero 🦀: Kayla hires and then befriends Teldryn as she journeys to Solstheim to figure out ‘who this Miraak asshole is’. The two end up being really good friends and continue their friendship beyond the dragonborn dlc quest. Teldryn is, at least at first, pretty disappointed in her befriending AND then eventually getting romantically involved with Miraak LOL, it’s pretty much the “really? Of all the people in Skyrim or Tamriel….this one?” 😂 Teldryn and Kayla initially connect over the fact Teldryn’s from Blacklight and Kayla’s father originally lived there too!

Teldryn and Kayla are both sassy troublemakers which is a big part of their friendship and they both enjoy teasing / ‘rage baiting’ Miraak. As mentioned, Teldryn and Kayla stay friends throughout everything and even into the future, Kayla and Miraak’s kids call him Uncle Tel 💖

Camilla Valerius 😳: HEHE so Kayla and Camilla became uh friends with benefits / fuck buddies for a while which is one of the funniest random lore I have for Kayla 😂 so while Sven and Faendal bark around at each other and bicker about who should be with Camilla, Kayla’s over here going to freaky town with her without either guys having a clue 😂😂

Serana 💜: Kayla does the dawnguard quest line and definitely becomes friends with Serana. Kayla and Serana bond over a lot of different things and build a deep trust with each other. Serana becomes another lifelong friend and the two remain close and frequently in contact after the main questline and dawnguard questline events.

Lydia 💅: Kayla gets the whole thane of Whiterun title which means Lydia is appointed to her. At first, Kayla is annoyed with the idea of being assigned a bodyguard-I’m the Dragonborn why do I need a bodyguard?? but eventually accepts Lydia’s help with a quest or two and they become very good friends. Lydia is no stranger to Kayla’s antics and isn’t afraid to call her out or lecture her-in a loving bestie kind of way ❤️ Lydia sometimes is the voice of reason Kayla needs 🩷

Strengths:

Speechcraft, in many, many ways (She isn’t exactly one to enjoy or partake in lying and avoids it when she can BUT that gal knows how to put on a performance whatever the occasion may be especially if it’s of a um flirty nature). Smooth talking, gets her way out of trouble, sometimes she amplifies being unassuming, friendly, or ditzy to purposefully fly under peoples radars. And if you’ve seen or read anything about her dad I’ve shared, that’s exactly who she gets it from 😂

Combat and Murder 💀 that’s to be expected at this point 😭 she’s a melee fighter gal through and through and uh well being in the Dark Brotherhood is great for that because she’s skilled at killing people and they DB pays well for her to do it!

One handed / dual wield weapons!!

FAST! She’s small and swift!

Sympathetic / Empathetic / Caring to others (especially those who have mental strife or young). A surprising trait for a fighter assassin lady 😂 Kayla’s kind of an oddity in that she can be her scary warrior Dragonborn self but also is incredibly gentle and soft with those she loves (friends, family, etc) and espeicllay to kids-she’s very protective of them especially given the past she had. That’s how she so quickly agrees to help Aventus Arentino and gets thrown into the whole DB questline. She also used to babysit her two nephews (from oldest brother) alllllll the time back in Cyrodiil. She’s very nurturing, playful, whimsical, and protective which the kids gravitate towards.

Weaknesses:

RECKLESS: Especially / specifically with fighting, she’s the type in battle to be like, ‘I don’t care if I die fighting you, you’re going down with me’

Often overly self sacrificing or commits herself to helping others when she is already out of her depth. She tends to also feel the need to prove she’s strong and capable since she’s often overlooked for that and in turn leads to her burning out or getting injured or other unfortunate outcomes

Too comfortable / too detached with enacting violence / killing enemies: well I had a whole spiel for this but I’ll just put this here quickly. Due to Kayla’s past, she can be a bit detached from the foes she kills and sometimes not as detached and more willfully cruel. This definitely stems from her papa, but he’s ultimately worse/more guilty of this, the sadistic fuck lmao

Kayla’s grandmother on her father’s side talking about her to Azarain (Kayla’s dad):

“She is a juvenile serpent that doesn’t realize when and where to seep her venom in a panic. Teach her to wield it accordingly.”

Disorganized and Unstructured

No interest in:

Learning more Magic?!?? She just wants to attack things fast and hard with one handed weapons 💀

Thievery. “I don’t wanna waste time or energy stealing shit, feels weird. If I really need something from someone I’ll ask, talk my way to it, or kill them.” A.K.A: ‘I may be a killer but I’m not a thief!’

Substances beyond the occasional drinks lol save that sort of thing for her brother Julian or as I like to call him SKOOMA BOY

No concept of:

Minimalism (those dovah hoarding tendencies yall)

Staying on task (yep that’s my ADHD girlie right there)

Conformity or fitting into expectations

In battle:

Kayla is mostly dual wielding / using one handed weapons. She knows a few little spells here and there but nothing advanced at all or most intermediate level spells. She likes melee through and through and enjoys close proximity rather than ranged attacks. Because she is smaller/shorter, she’s had to learn to find ways to counter this set back such as being very fast and very aggressive in her attacks. She’s also incredibly unpredictable with battle strategy / movements / attack patterns which also serves as another vantage point to her combat.

Distinguishing marks or notable features?:

Has a few lil scars here and there with one larger one on her back near her ribs that’s about the length of her hand. Other than that, in terms of noticeable physical details: SHORT height! This gal is literally 5’2” or 157.5 cm 😭 the nicknames “Mal Dovah” from Miraak or “Tiny Terror” from Teldryn are in fact very accurate 😭😂😂

Trivia?:

Kayla’s last name Seran stems from her family history with House Redoran and the Seran family-one of the 30 revered families of Vvardenfell that can be traced back to the Chimer! The family has an ancestral tomb in Morrowind TES 3 you can find actually!

Kayla enjoys artsy hobbies like charcoal sketching and painting and enjoy singing a bit too-her mother tried to encourage a lot of hobbies and other varying skills when she was young to balance out the more unsavory and ‘lethal ones.’ Kayla also enjoys hobbies that keep her hands busy usually

Okay so this is relevant for the next lil lore piece but Kayla has pretty rough PTSD prior to TES 5 events and it comes up frequently in her life (I got a whole post explaining those but it’s a bit heavy-it was for the myths of Tamriel disability post so if you wanna know more feel free to look there). She loves animals and eventually ends up with a few including her dog she adopts from the Dawnguard named Winnie. Although the dawnguard dogs are usually husky looking, Winnie resembles more a long haired German Shepherd. Winnie acts as the TES equivalent of a PTSD service dog in many ways such as general comfort /grounding, crowd control / blocking, disrupting SI behaviors, alerting (usually to Miraak) for help, checking surroundings (Kayla can sometimes suffer hallucinations in bad flashbacks and whatnot so Winnie helps to show that the area is safe). Winnie is the best doggy :3 and is able to lend that sort of therapeutic animal duty to Miraak too from time to time ❤️‍🩹 who wouldn’t wanna pet and hug that big fluffy dog?! :3

Even though Kayla’s only half Dunmer, I like to give her some of the aspects usually associated with Dunmer including the ole Morrowind Ancestor Guardian! Kayla’s main ‘guardian’ shows up here and there and is an aunt from of course her dad’s side of the family longggg ago. I’ll have to draw her and post her but her name is Nova Seran or as Kayla calls her Aunt Nova (or Daesma Nova / just Daesma as a sort of Dunmeri translation for aunt- sister: Daeseh and Mother: Alma, thank you to @changelingsandothernonsense for the translation idea help!))

Kayla’s religious associations and practices are all over the place!! Her mother being a priestess of Mara from Cyrodiil, her father worshipping the Reclamations just as his family does back in Morrowind, Kayla also being the listener for the dark brotherhood-it’s scattered to say the least!! It’s easy enough for her to have an appreciation for Aedra but also has no quarrels with appreciating Daedra (mainly just the Reclamations-Azura, Mephala, Boethiah). SO! When Kayla and Miraak do eventually marry, their wedding ceremony is a bit of a mixture that includes little traditions or homages from their cultures (I mean we got a half Dunmer half Imperial with a half Atmoran half Yokudan lol).

Tagging these lovely folks (no pressure to post) (and also if I forgot to tag it wasn’t intentional and feel free to tag me in yours if you want :3 ) and YOU READING IF YOU WANT :3 🫶❤️

Proof of life - Erandur sketch! There's just a lot going on right now that's keeping me from playing and writing, but I'm still getting some work in here and there.

I think I've gotten the hang of his nose. The challenge is now making sure his eyes are deep-set enough.

But yeah, casual Erandur, pouring himself some wine.

Wildfires in northern Ontario force First Nations to flee

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

⚠️ WIP Wednesday! 🚧

Birthday edition hehe— survived my first quarter of a century!

First of all, thank you all who tagged me in the previous weeks!^^ I haven’t done a WIP Wednesday in a hot minute (and was rather inactive on tumblr, sorry about that too!) sooo im hopping in to show some stuff i was working on as of late:3

Aside from Artfight stuff (which i will be posting at the end of July – feel free to share the attacks i made for you or use it as you please in the meantime!:3), i have been sketching my beloved ocs again – aka my fav rat Narusur getting his tattoos done + a sketch of Sen

Im also planning to do some short-comic-type-of-things featuring my ocs, mostly because im enjoying drawing way too much than actually writing them:D I’m currently quite meh about doing fic-stuff, so i have another outlet to share some story snippets this way:3

At the moment i’m focusing on Salyn’s storyline among the Morag Tong:

Tagging some of mutuals, no pressure as usual!^^

WIP Wednesday!

Thank you so much for the tags <3! @honeybeebunny111 @cresu @donemer @friend-of-giants @blue-dartwing

I was thinking about skipping this week, but gonna post my doodles anyway!

I did a slight study in portraits, I suppose, though I should have done more of the full front face perspective, but I chickened out since I still struggle with Loomis.

These three ladies are as follows: Freya's Breton mother (suddenly can't remember her name now! DAMN IT!), Freya in the middle, and my Bosmer Lyra on the end. I tried to draw her antlers ;____;

I tried to make Freya resemble her mother, but I think I made the noses too different.

At work today, I was bored and decided to draw some plants, but Skyrim plants. I got inspiration from @skyrimhusbandmaterial, who once drew a wonderful Nirnroot picture. I need to reblog it!

I thought it funny if Freya tried to keep track of certain alchemical ingredients, and if she did, what would she write down for each one?

So this may become a series, idk yet.

No pressure tags <3 @scribeofskyrim @sassybakalesbian @dark-brotherhoe @life-dairy @cursedsilver @neloths-tea @runathequiet @dragonhold @knifecalledlust @monsonata @laedbunny @darkcimba @juliette-has-a-pencil @flycasual @changelingsandothernonsense @hircines-hunter @nerevarbean @orca-water-ghoul @dirty-bosmer @sunlightpassingthroughthewater @aspendruid @anilliscarts and you!

My usual disclaimer: if I tagged you and you don't wish to be tagged, please let me know! Also, if you want to be tagged, you can always tag me back, regardless! <3

My blog has only been quiet because I have been on ESO so much. But I love posting and boosting others' art!

Below the cut is a funny glitch I managed to screen-record on Sunday in ESO, along with a peek at a new custom armor I somehow acquired.

Dark Seducer Armor <3

Small edit: Going to hopefully up my game with this!

WIP Wednesday 💖💖

WOW so I posted a lot of wips so I don’t think I even have the most!? 💀 BUT I remembered I have hundreds upon thousands and thousands of words written never seen or shared so I’m gonna put some of that here!

Thank you to these lovely people for tagging me:

@sulphuricgrin @chiqita @donemer @cresu @chronicgirlfailure

The urge to obsess over Azarain continues….. SO most of this is related to him and Adrianna >:3 (LDB OC Kayla’s parents)

Of course more under the cut!

(Word count: 660):

(For context, this takes place sometime after Azarain and Adrianna have already met (Kayla's parents). Essentially, they first meet when Azarain got injured on a Dark Brotherhood contract mission and Adrianna found him wounded, helped heal him, and get him to the temple of Mara she works at. It doesn't take long after that for both to be smitten with one another but there is certainly some barriers to their shared attraction)

“You! Why are you back here?! You’re lucky enough I haven’t run off to the guards and told them about your occupation!” Adrianna interrogates in a hushed tone, pulling Azarain through the doorframe and shutting it behind her.

“I am lucky! I’m not denying that. Although if you turned me in, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation and I think you’d miss my pretty face,” Azarain casually replies with a grin. Adrianna rolls her eyes and attempts to keep herself busy with organizing different potions and medicinal supplies scattered around the surfaces of the room. It was already tough enough for her to be working at the temple today, the last thing she needed was that smug-albeit handsome- man around here again distracting her. He had already managed to occupy her thoughts enough already, more than she'd ever wish to admit.

“You really shouldn’t be here you know, I actually have things to do right now- I’m working,” Adrianna scoffs reminding him, and perhaps herself too, of her duties at the temple.

“Ahh you’re right I shouldn’t be. That’s why I figured I should ask to take you somewhere else,” Azarain sighs leaning against the wall watching her busy herself with tidying and grinning to himself. Azarain found she was all too easy to tease and even prettier when she was flustered like that.

“What?!” she yelps nearly knocking a jar of herbs over as she stands to face him again.

“Humor me, I’ll take you out on a date and if it’s the absolute worst date you’ve been on, you can turn me into the guards,” Azarain offers a little too cheerfully and casually.

“Is this a joke?! Are you crazy?!!” Adrianna stammers unsure whether she should be freaking out over his date invite or the suggestion of his own potential imprisonment and death. Someone being in the Dark Brotherhood was pretty much frowned upon well, everywhere. She knew that for him to be discovered like that would almost undeniably lead to his execution.

“Crazy for you, yes. What do you say? Tomorrow before noon I’ll meet you here-“

“Here?!”

“Okay I’ll meet you…….by the old Bridge Inn near the bookstore and we’ll have a picnic! I’ll bring food, basket, everything. A proper date, a real one. What do you say?” he beams with a hopeful smile. Adrianna looks at him entirely stunned, confused, and peeved but undeniably intrigued by this entire insane situation.

“Why? Why would you offer to let me turn you in? You know what they do to people in…..who do your type of work right?” she questions lowering her voice, eyes glancing around as if anyone else was in the room with them.

“To earn your trust and prove how I feel. I’m not a gambler, but I’d like to think the odds of the latter being the outcome are slim. So, what do you say princess? Is it a date?” he answers casually moving off the wall and stepping closer towards her with his hand held out to her. Adrianna looks between his extended hand and the hopeful but almost smug smile on his face a few times before letting out a small sigh and shaking his hand.

“Very well then Azarain. I’ll meet you by the inn tomorrow," she replies trying to compose her tone and keep a straight face.

"Wonderful, I'll be looking forward to it. I'll see you then Adrianna," he comments back, playfully mimicking her almost cold guarded tone before pressing his lips to her hand that he held before swiftly seeing himself out the door.

"Hey! Don't just go out the-ugh!" Adrianna hollers after him but remains where she stands and crosses her arms. Maybe it was a good thing after all they didn't have as many priests and priestess available at Mara's temple today, otherwise they'd probably interrogate her for the blush on her cheeks and if anyone saw that tall Dunmer man stop by.

Bonus meme: Kayla’s mom:

And other Azarain meme lol:
