Why does Thistle not have any mods really to change it's appearance... does no one like the rabbit?

It literally brought me a Daedric heart

Like what's not to love about a rabbit who seems to have ripped out someone's heart?!

Sneak peaks at the trio's ref sheets! (I still need to add some greying and scars to Miraak. And some small details for Lilli. But their bodies are done! Onto clothes! I'm not sharing their nude forms in a wip. Y'all gotta wait 🙈)

Miraak || Lilliandra || Elikar

Now have some banter between Miraak and Lilliandra! the fucking nerds🤭 (Sorry if you've already read this from writing sprints! I had to share this bit!)

word count: 533

---

Wordlessly, Miraak finally makes it to her desk — letting her watch as he now invades her space, fingers ghosting along the scattered papers. He’s calm and quiet, but the air between them is brittle. And her ledger on her desk is open, facing him. He lingers besides her desk for a beat before he steps between the desk and chair, his fingers skimming the edge of the open ledger. She neither stops him nor speaks up about his intrusion, instead turning back to her work.

So, he turns the ledger and pulls it towards him and begins flipping through the pages with causal ease. The quiet sound of page flipping as he skims through it accompany the strained breaths of her victim. The formatting is meticulously — not unlike her formal handwriting — but the structure itself is unconventional. Not alphabetical. Not even by subject matter or school of magic. Instead—

“‘Nervous twitch, too many rings, smells like vinegar’…” he reads aloud, brow lifting slightly. “Is that meant to be a description or an insult?”

Lilliandra doesn’t look away from her subject, but her voice floats lazily toward him. “It’s both, if I’m being honest.” She gives a half-shrug.

He makes a sound of amusement in his throat. “Charming. And here I thought your noble upbringing would afford them a touch more grace.”

“They aren’t guests. They’re ciphers,” she states matter-of-factly. “And I don’t recall you treating them with anything resembling dignity either.”

“I don’t dissect them like barn animals either.”

Her voice is light, too smooth. “No, you just bleed them of secrets, blackmail them, and throw them aside. I’m far more intimate.”

He continues leafing through the pages. “Do you keep a similar record for me, or do I get my own volume?”

There’s a long pause, then she hums. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”

Another label “paranoia, third tier, loses hair under pressure” — his brows furrow slightly at the precise cruelty of her notes — until a page further on catches his eyes.

His name.

Not a full heading. Just scribbled in the margin. Miraak — see also: red ink notes, effect variance. His lips press together, expression unreadable.

Another entry further in: Possible shared influence on cipher behaviour? Observation needed.

And another: Response different with Miraak nearby — reactivity shift noted. Unclear if psychological or magical.

He glances back up at her. “You’re keeping track of me.” He can't even say he's surprised, given her past attempts at stalking. But this— this was becoming more thorough.

She doesn’t spare him a glance. “No. I keep track of anything that may skew results. You just happen to.”

“How flattering.”

Checking the cipher’s pupils, she then finally turns from her experiment. “Would you rather I guess blindly about your influence?” Her tone is clipped but almost… indulgent. “You do have a reputation, you know,” she says with a bit more amusement.

Oh, he knew, but she was gaining one just as quick. “And apparently, a column in your journal.” He taps the page. “Tell me— is it alphabetized under M, or do I fall under a different classification?”

Despite her trying to hide it, he catches how the corner of her lip twitches. “You’re a variable. I file those by volatility.”

A small snort escapes him, half a laugh despite himself. “How oddly fitting."

It's so funny now that i can put them side by side for accurate heights. LMAO Elikar looks smol but Lilli's just insanely tall

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

The Eternal Champion and The Agent staring at all the other Prisoners, cuz it took them at least ten years for them to finish their quest.

And let's not talk about how much the Vestige has done in just one year...

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

people wanna be high elves but when i pull out the weed they run away 🙄

Guys I think i found the IRL inspo for the Altmer 🤯🤯🤯

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

This was supposed to be just a doodle, but I kinda like it. So I decided to post it!!

The colours looked better on my ipad... oh well

This is just Alix having been invited to a fancy breakfast with the Mad God himself. They're rather calm for being in his presence.

I have another version of this with everything coloured and differently rendered, but it doesn't look as nice. Also I drew Sheogorath's Palace from memory... yeahh, not accurate I know.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

Curious how Sheogorath has a memory wand and doesn't seem to remember Jyggalag in Elder Scrolls Legends. Even though there is one active Obelisk of Order still, with a Knight of Order guarding Jyggalag's sword.

Also Dyus for some reason knows where the sword went... even saying he won't know if Talym gets thanked or killed for it.

So... hear me out, what if the Hero of Kvatch used the wand to erase their memories? I kinda like to think they created/acquired the wand with Dyus help.

Kinda like the Staff of Sheogorath.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

In Elder Scrolls Blades you're able to change your race, gender and appearance. You have to talk to the NPC who is totally not Sheogorath.

So I thought it would be fun if my Warrior/Fugitive is genderfluid and visits him quite often.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

Vanus attempt #2 😓

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

Masc!Lilli update!

We're got the flat colors down! >:D I'm gonna do the jewelry lineless, so it's not in the wip yet

WIP Wednesday

I'm behind by 3 weeks!! AHHHH, I'll get to everyone, I swear!! ;^;

I have been tagged by: @skyrim-forever @chiqita @umbracirrus @silly-little-diary @madam-whim @theoneandonlysemla @sunlightpassingthroughthewater @sanzas-reverie @pocket-vvardvark @pinessydr @hircines-hunter @captain-of-silvenar @yansurnummu @dirty-bosmer I'm already so behind, but I'll tag just a few: @rambles-about-some-scrolls @truth-01001001-liar @bookworm-driven-insane @vertekel @scholarlyhermit (sorry if I forget people, gotta catch up first to the rest!!)

I've GOT ART!! :DD Lesser known fact about Lilliandra (if you don't read the fic) is that she enjoys "wearing" illusions that make her masculine! Heheheh Now with my upgraded setup for drawing, I decided that look should finally be given a face! >:)

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

When you call Martin as a joke brother, because he is a priest. Until suddenly you realise it's no longer a joke and you mean it now.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

I haven't played enough ESO to know how much sense it would make, but my Vestige is well... someone. I won't say who, cuz it sounds kinda silly.

I did make them very OC ish tho, so their lore is kinda crazy. I thought it would be quirky... if they're also a CHIM user.

If someone is able to guess who it is, I would be both impressed and would say one weird lore part about them.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

This is a doodle from when I drew with @bookworm-driven-insane on Magma. It's my Nerevarine, Antonius, who I draw a lot for some reason.

The quality is crunchy, cuz I took a screenshot of it. I forgot to download the canvas instead oops.

🐵 WIP WEDNESDAY 🐵

Ty for the tags @skyrim-forever @sugarysins @yansurnummu @chiqita @hircines-hunter @captain-of-silvenar @umbracirrus @sanzas-reverie @theoneandonlysemla !

I'd like to tag @pinessydr @sunsettemplar @changelingsandothernonsense @red-mountain-flower @fangsandsoftgrass @sulphuricgrin @dirty-bosmer @kaijukafka @caliblorn @countravenwatch @progmetol @tiredela @harlequinalis @anini--panini @madam-whim @madamefluffnstuff @rzpotato @yewphoric @oblivions-dawn @scholarlyhermit @lucius-the-sinful @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @sunlightpassingthroughthewater no pressure, I love youuuu all 🫶

Um, to be honest I've been working really late in lab on synthesis, so I've had little time to do stuff I wanna do. I have been working on character interactions though, because I really wanna get better at that. Idk if I'll render this, bc tbh I like how it looks already but here it is 👐

Vanus thinks Alethia's fit is too short </3

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

I present to you these two:

Was bored and drew them with just using my finger. I'm just gonna ramble a little about these two under the cut.

Alix (HoK):

They look so much like their grandfather, that even the daedra get confused on whether they are him.

They're the Attronach sign, so they can't regenerate magicka on their own. Their family does have a natural magicka absorption going on, so with that added they absorb almost all magic attacks.

The only spell they use in combat is Telekinesis. When they throw their dagger they can bring it back to them, at times they even use Telekinesis to strengthen their throw.

Antonius (Nerevarine):

Being the Ebony Warrior in my story, he does use the same spells and attacks as he does. Yes, even the shouts.

He got turned into a Werewolf, because he thought Corprus would stop it from happening. He does get cured at one point.

The white in his hair is natural, his biological mother had even more white in hers, but he doesn't know that. He thought he had it, because he was Nerevar reborn. He did dye it for some time.

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

Barbas should be a Borzoi

[rambles-about-some-scrolls]

I don't think I will ever finish this, but here is my Altmer OC, who is the brother of Cyreriil.

He doesn't have an actual name yet and I refuse to say the name I gave him when I played Oblivion.
