I don't really use this blog as intended anymore, and most of my writings have shifted to Elder Scrolls content.

I'll leave this blog up but if you want to see more regular posting of my writing and ramblings for Elder Scrolls head over to @captain-of-silvenar

See you there!

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"

[aurevoirblog-deactivated2023082]

I am also “damn, girl, you wrote this? (forgetful)”

Mercer isn't smarter than Brynjolf, but he's close enough to him that he knows how to hurt him.

Brynjolf takes on a lot of responsibility, since even though Mercer is Guildmaster it seems like Bryn has to do all the hard stuff. He is barely keeping the guild together, and it's mentioned that Mercer has such a temper that no one goes to him anyways. They always go to Brynjolf, who is doing the best he can.

And Mercer knows that Brynjolf is smarter than him, so he does everything he can to keep him down. He discourages Brynjolf's interest in the falmer (which we see fail when Brynjolf can read Falmeri.), he explodes on him too (although Brynjolf seems generally Used To It), and it's implied he sent you to Goldenglow to get you killed, because "even Vex" couldn't get in.

And then Karliah's name comes up. Mercer internally panics, because that truly means it could all come to light. He was able to pin Gallus' murder on her, but only because no one had the time or energy to look closely. But when you show up, the Guild has new life breathed into it.

And you clearly mean something to Brynjolf. He's thrilled when you get down into the Flagon, after Goldenglow, when Maven asks for you by name, he's your friend. He's so excited both that you're helping the Guild in the way you are, and that he gets to be right there to see it.

Mercer has to get rid of you. You are ruining everything. A happy Brynjolf is a Brynjolf that could think and find out the truth. So it's so, so perfect when Karliah practically invites him to battle her. Mercer can take you with him, have you killed, and pin that on Karliah too. Brynjolf will be heartbroken, you'll be out of the way, and the story of Gallus' murder becomes that much more plausible with another victim.

And of course Brynjolf runs out after you and Mercer. He, of all people, knows how dangerous Karliah is. He was there for Gallus' murder, he's been watching her try and take the guild down from the inside, he knows. So even though Mercer insists to him to let you and he handle it, Bryn still goes out after the two of you.

And then Brynjolf learns you died. Karliah killed you, just as she killed Gallus. She truly is trying to destroy the guild. Mercer even tells him that your last words, your last thoughts, they were for Brynjolf. You, Brynjolf's friend and protégé, had whispered his name in your final moments.

Brynjolf is heartbroken, and Mercer is right there to make sure he stays heartbroken.

I would like to hear abojt your Dragonborn Ralof AU. Ralof sneezes and accidently fus-ro-dah's Ulfric's dinner table.

While that would be hilarious, the Dragonborn!Ralof au is actually... pretty heavy on the angst.

It's a story about self reflection, challenging viewpoints, and asking about what one wants in life... but also, it's pretty gay. A lot happens to both Ralof and Hadvar, most of it is pretty miserable and depressing, but also kinda delves into their characters and their relationship. There's also just a lot with this au just cause of how extensive the game can be when adding on more quests than just the main ones. So, I won't delve too deep into it unless asked specifically. But I can chat a little bit about some Dragonborn headcanons that go along with this AU.

1.) Like dragons, the DB has an innate sense of time. Like you could throw them in a dark cave for months and they'd still pop out and tell you the exact year, month, day, and time. Hadvar and the other kids from Riverwood would talk about never needing to read a clock because they had Ralof. The one day someone asked him the time and he went down to the minute second, and people stopped asking.

2.) Like dragons, Dragonborns seek power in some way. It's something that has to be controlled. For Ralof, while it seems rather controlled or that he doesn't care for power, Ralof in reality does lust for some kind of power. It's more territorial in nature, in that, when he perceives a threat, he feels the need to exert his power or to gain what power he can in order to meet that threat head on. Hence his initial joining of the Stormcloaks when the Thalmore really started to threaten Skyrim.

3.) Dragons and Dragonborns are semi omnipotent, even tho they're not really aware of it. They're not fortune tellers, they can't see into the future or anything. However, it's more like they have a deep sense of the inevitable and therefore are able to act accordingly. Things more obvious like Uriel Septim IV having a dream about meeting the Hero of Kvatch and dying. Or the more subtle betrayal of Paarthurnax and his role in teaching mortals Thu'um. Or Alduin's inevitable destroying of the world, even if it never seems to be the right time. I often use this one to explain why Ralof is so... different than his fellow Stormcloaks. It's as tho he's "seen the bigger picture." He knows that it's only a matter of time when everyone in Skyrim will be threatened by the Thalmore. So, it doesn't matter if you're a "true nord" or not, if you call Skyrim your home, you need to fight for it.

Honestly, I have more of a complete story, but it's hard to explain without knowing these headcanons really. Cause it's rather important to many of his future decisions throughout the narrative. As well as explain why he's so fucking miserable towards the end.

“First, he is in fact a man—a Nord like Morhjartyr, to be exact—who is rapidly approaching middle age. Of an unusually large stature, which I speculate is the result of profuse alchemical enhancement, Arkasis is described as a reclusive academic.”
