why do you draw taliesin so old lmao not tryna hate

Hello there!

And, oh..! Well, Taliesin is not necessarily a spring chicken from what I know, but I do not think I turned him into a grandaddy. Even if I did, I doubt anyone would have a problem with that.

I am one of those people who view aging as a privilege (despite a few fleeting jokes I made in the past), which it is, and admire traits like wrinkles, smile lines, eye bags, dark circles, etc., on a person in an artistic and reverential manner. I'd rather be the guy who causes a scandal by drawing characters as their age (or older) rather than below that. :3

Yes, So There's this photographer who is associated with my Agency (as in the one I work for)

I've worked with him once before, I found him... Well, Likable.

Then the next time we went on a 5 days work trip with our whole team, his team. And there was this one evening when we and another colleague ended up like walking back to our hotel together and idk...

I just tell myself and everyone that I just find him "cute" nothing else

But my brain is rotting

And idk a few of my colleagues got to know (while we were drinking) and they kinda tease, and ik his team kinda tease him and vice versa.

But I basically think he isn't interested cause he has my number, we've spoken once like he sent me the pictures he clicked of me and i thanked him. But he never reached out further...

Uuhhhhhh no I do not have a crush on him!!

i mean that's cute though! he might not think you're interested as well, and therefore hasn't reached out. ans i mean if he's cute, it doesn't hurt trying either, right?

What is Ida's favorite kind of music?

“Since Ida works as a music composer, his clients tend to lean towards modern-day music - aka, pop.

Ida has taken a liking to classical music since he’d gotten this job, so composers like Beethoven and Mozart are pretty high up on his favorites.

It’s a great way to refresh his pallet after the work day is over, that’s for sure.”

Can I just say I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the Altmer? I hardly see it anywhere, so your posts about them make me smile.

Also Taliesin. The Taliesin posting makes me laugh. What's one of your favorite lines of his in game?

Hi! I'm so happy you enjoyed my posts about the Altmer! I find them to be very neat. Glad I could make you smile! :]

As for Taliesin, oh lord, I have no idea where to begin when it comes to my favorite lines (honestly, there's too many). I want to put his entire commentary on the Bard's College questline up there in the hall of fame. Him just processing how bizarre and morbid the situation for the LDB being accepted into the college had my sides hurting. Tally really had me during the "Burning of King Olaf" festival portion. Him calling out the horrible timing of the event was just perfect. Truly enjoyed seeing the more artistic side of Taliesin. ^^

Hi yes hello this is the same anon that asked about your favorite Tally dialogue - I started the bard's college yesterday and 20 hours later I'm still recovering from how much I laughed. This is so good holy shit 😭

Hi again!! :]

Man, if only I could make videos (damn you wisdom teeth for silencing my voice) right now, my footage from the Bard's College questline would definitely turn into something I can post here 😭. That is guaranteed. Taliesin had bangers, and rewatching the footage I had clipped has me giggling. With that "not deliver bad news" portion, I kind of related to him in that moment. I say kind of because I'm the type to rather ghost someone than deliver bad news 🤣!

Window? Broken. Ida? Missing. Hotel? Trivago.

Also, some advice. Let that mer rant about Viarmo's performance. If you don't, Arkay save you. I don't make the rules /j

Have you seen the update the mod devs gave about Taliesin? I'm honestly kinda devastated but custom voiced Skyrim followers is such a niche topic that I have no one to commiserate with :((((

Hello! And, yes, I have seen the update. As much as it does sadden me to see that there will be no more updates for poor Tally, we do have to remember that not everything lasts forever and that is okay. Now, as for me (and I hope for everyone else in this little cranny of the Skyrim modded follower community), I am still going to have fun making silly content for him. Life got in the way, but I will return soon here.

It's okay to feel sad, I am a bit too, but that doesn't mean we still can't have fun with the mod. Things happen, and life isn't fair. Everything will be okay, and I wish everyone (the mod developers, Taliesin fans, supporters, etc) well here. Thank you for reaching out to me, I appreciate it, and I hope you're okay. ^^

Saw your requests open so 👀 How would s/o approach Seungcheol when she notices that he’s been gifting her books on her “want to read” list? Like he thought he was being smooth, but still cute 🤭

Ps. congrats 🎉

Hi! I actually love this so much that I decided to incorporate this into my full length seungcheol fic (that hopefully will start posting soon). I hope this works out for you, even if I have to tweak the idea a bit to fit the plot! Hope you have a great day!🥰
