Thinking about my Mythic Dawn assassin OC and how she flees from Summerset after her parents declare her a hulkynd for her burn scars. Mankar Camoran finds her in the streets of Anvil and sees opportunity in this small pathetic child, so he takes her in. Because she’s so desperate for love and acceptance, she responds quite easily to the indoctrination, but it’s not until Mankar tells of how he transformed himself from a bosmer into an altmer through the power and teachings of Mehrunes Dagon, that she finds herself filled with hope and wonder and faith, because if Dagon could do a great thing as that, then how simple it must be for him to change her body from that of a boy to one of a girl. Even though Mankar tells her that removing her scars would be a simple feat combined with everything else, she keeps them because they remind her of the fire and destruction that changed her life forever to be on that path. They remind her of Dagon’s sphere. That would be the same day she shed her former name to become Tamrialle, the Beauty of Dawn.

But her outward scars are not the only she kept. Deep down, hidden inside, in spite of all the teachings and brainwashing to tell her otherwise, she remembers the horror of the fire and she still fears death. Even when she kills Uriel, one of the greatest honors a Mythic Dawn cultist could have, she fears death. And after that moment, her life could go anywhere. Or nowhere.

Thank you to @wispstalk for the tag! 🧡

Last song listened to: Šturm Zamka Pulien by Stary Olsa. This is one of their original medieval style works played with maximal recreations of historic instruments local to them in Belarus. Normally, Stary Olsa’s music is taken directly from historical compositions and local folk tunes, so this is a neat divergence from that. As explained in the screenshot from the bands website, this song is based on a historic event

Currently watching: Diablero! Mexican Netflix show about demons and demon-hunters. It’s one of the first shows that caught our eye when we were looking for something that was created in Spanish. It’s the language we’re currently learning so we’re trying to consume more media in it. Might end up reading the books the show was based on at some point too!

Currently reading: Packing for Mars by Mary Roach. Fascinating book asking and answering all the weird questions regarding space science and logistics. She does everything from clear a space chimp of public masturbatory crimes to confirm whether or not flatulence can propel you in space. Before this, I read her book Stiff, all about cadavers, from the scientific study of them to historical gravedigging to “medical” cannibalism to the death industry. Mary Roach is just a powerhouse of an author on weird science in general and I’ll probably end up reading all of her books at some point lol

Current obsession: I feel like we’re a little in between obsessions at the moment and simultaneously consumed by many various smaller obsessions. I suppose medieval history and fashion in general is one of the bigger ones. Recently purchased The First Book of Fashion and absolutely cannot wait for it to come in so I can admire all the illustrations of fashion by medieval illuminists. It’s supposed to come with a sewing pattern too so I might try my hand at actually making that piece! I want to eventually sew my own historically accurate clothing :)

Tagging: @heliosynchronisity @un-sea-lie @fdelopera @tiptapricot @riddlebot @rotteprinsen and anyone else who wants to join in on this!
