I mostly post about Elder Scrolls with a focus on ESO but sometimes throw in other stuff for flavour. This usually includes Critical Role, Baldur's Gate, Destiny, cool art I like, and probably others once in a while. I occasionally post nsfw art & fic that will be tagged #yans after dark.

My ESO OCs:
Dralvayn "Drals" Arano (he/him)
Dunmer // Arcanist
My cranky old wizard. To the Horrors I've Known and Loved is his story, where he gets put through the horrors and learns the power of friendship.
He's gay/demisexual but he doesn't discover that until partway through the fic, and even then he has a ways to go before he allows himself nice things. He becomes hopelessly in love with Azandar, and later on has a bit of a thing with Zerith-var. He starts out kind of an asshole but he will get better. Probably. He's my little chew toy :)

Asha-ammu Kaushad (they/them)
Dunmer (Ashlander) // Nightblade // Vampire
Asha is my precious little princess who I would die for. Like Winter is sort of a character study, following the progression of their relationship with Donobhan, and told from his point of view.
They're nonbinary & transfem, and very shy and a little awkward. They love fungi & dwemer architecture.

Donobhan Ravenfriend (he/him)
Reachman // Warden
Don is my sweet boy. He was originally of the Spiritblood clan but left when he couldn't go through with the Vateshran's Rites. He loves nature and has a lot of wisdom about the ways of the world & life & death but is also kind of an orange cat and sometimes his head is empty. His best friend is his guardian wolf, Calahan.

Sadryn Favel (he/him?)
Dunmer // Warden // Werewolf
Sadryn is a hot bisexual mess whose favourite pastime is being a public nuisance. He's like 22 and will never die. He has a twin sister, Serysi, who belongs to @tilliphont. She's a grumpy butch and the two of them would die for each other but will probably kill each other first before that happens. The two of them were born to a Telvanni family that expected a lot from them and they ran away from that bad situation at some point. They also have a pet bear named Sujamma.
If he stopped for longer than 2 seconds to look inwards he would probably have a weird gender but alas he is going 5000mph and has a substance abuse problem so we may never know. He's got a big ol crush on Ember but she thinks he's stinky.

Auredil (he/him)
Altmer // Templar // Vestige
Auredil is my canon Vestige and gay disaster. A Variation of the Truth is sort of a tragedy that alternates between his point of view (past) and Lindir's point of view (present). Auredil was once a captain in Queen Ayrenn's navy (First Auridon Marines) where he fell in love with Prince Naemon and he and Kinlady Estre became good friends. After the events of Auridon, Naemon shuts Auredil out which drives him to make a pact with Meridia while in a bad mental state, thus being granted his Templar abilities and the rest of the main quest being set in motion.

Lilanwe (she/her)
Altmer // Necromancer
Lily is trans & bisexual and could be a villain if she was just like 12% more evil. But instead she chose to be niceys and is just kind of a little morally dubious sometimes.
She was once a promising mage and scholar who, after her brother Auredil's disappearance, fell in with the wrong crowd and turned to necromancy and the Worm Cult. They meet again on opposite sides of the conflict, and Auredil convinces her to leave the cult behind and help him fix everything. She has a penchant for being headstrong and righteous, and after the Planemeld and Auredil's (supposed) death, she goes on a revenge quest to eradicate the remains of the Worm Cult. As a treat.
(tag)
Coralantar (he/they)
Maormer // Sorcerer
Coral was a powerful storm witch who joined up with the Sea Vipers when he was young and wanted to get away from Pyandonea, but quickly recognised the atrocities the raiders were committing. After meeting Auredil in Khenarthi's Roost, he turns on the Vipers from the shadows and eventually works with the Eyes of the Queen as a spy. The Desert is a Memory of the Ocean is sort of an unfinished sequel/spinoff of Auredil's fic, in which Coralantar and @tilliphont's Galen find themselves lost in Elsweyr in the aftermath of defeating Molag Bal and have to work together to piece together what happened.
one thing I'm really liking about this style with the pen without pressure turned on is that I knowww one thing I get caught up on a lot while doing linear is details. and this really forces me to not do that. like sure it looks good in the end but like especially with thicker linearts I've done in the past I spend a loooot of time drawing a line>erasing to clean up>draw>erase>draw>erase so not having to do that is kind of freeing agdksvd
ohhhh thank you so much!! :') I like to try new things, and I recently switched art programs so I'm trying a new set of tools and stuff on top of it hahaha
actuallyyyy I'm gonna talk a bit about his tattoos
the dagger - this is the first one he got. he was a young sailor and had kind of a thing with one of his crewmates, who was an artist in his free time. it doesn't mean much beyond "haha wouldn't it be hot if I left my mark on u forever in a spot hardly anyone gets to see"
the thief constellation - same artist, but more symbolic of his bond with Lilanwe. both of them were born under the sign of the thief.
grape vines - I think by this point he realised he really liked the process of being tattooed like the masochist he is so it started to become something he had done when he was feeling particularly down. this one is to remember his and Lilanwe's parents. They had always talked about opening a vineyard when they finally retired, but never got the chance.
heron feather - this one has a couple meanings to him. one, it was for Naemon; he was fond of birds, and one of the last amicable moments he shared with Naemon, he likened Auredil to a bird in a gilded cage, arguing he didn't belong at his side and instead deserved to be set free. two, it wasn't long after he became a vestige, and the process helped him to reclaim a body that he wasn't sure was even his.
red rose - something to remember Laloriaran by. He mentioned to Auredil a fondness for the flora of High Rock. After the events of Coldharbour, that was one of the first places Auredil wandered towards.
also the scar over his chest is where he was stabbed by Mannimarco <3
jkr is literally posting upskirt photos to her social media. when will it finally get through to harry potter fans that their support makes her feel confident and correct enough to do things like this
If the holocaust denialism SOMEHOW wasn't enough for you to shut up about your favourite kids book as an adult; JK Rowling just committed a sex crime IRL against a transgender woman.
