brain empty and the only thought is the feeling of price’s beard scratching against the skin of your neck while he nuzzles it before alternating between harsh and soft kisses. knows how embarrassed you get when he leaves visible marks behind, but can’t help leaving just a tiny one. murmuring into your neck that he’s sorry. says he’ll be careful, but proceeds to leave another one on the opposite side, arms secured around you from wriggling away.

when you’re trying to cover it up with makeup later in the mirror, he’ll come up behind you and teasingly press his teeth against your neck. “don’t know why you won’t just let people see it,” he mumbled, hands giving your waist a squeeze before he pulls away from you and lets you continue covering it up.

I promised to make this post months ago and completely forgot about it until the last few days (a classic!), so here I am now. Making it. And with silly art included. Yay!

As many of you know, Mannimarco and Vanus Galerion in Elder Scrolls Online are portrayed as 2E contemporaries who mirror each other journeys to leaders, out of the Psijic Order and into their own groups. ESO makes it clear that they're meant to be similar in age as well, and it does so both by de-aging Mannimarco's model for the "Half-Forming Understandings" quest, and by making it say by Vanus himself in Artaeum Lost.

BUT! If you have played Morrowind or Oblivion, you might already be familiar with Where were you when the Dragon Broke?, an account of different people's experiences during the Middle Dawn, the 1E Dragon Break. And oh! Look who it is.

(notice also he says God, not King) The Middle Dawn happened between 1E 1200 and 1E 2208. Time fuckeries as much as you want, but nonetheless, 1E ends in 2920, and we know FOR SURE that Vanus was born the first years of 2E and that he joined the Psijics as a 11 yo. So, even if we took into consideration ONLY the latest period of the Middle Dawn, Mannimarco would have been a... 700+ years old novice when he met Vanus. Very funny to think about, but an old mer having an intellectual rivalry with a teenager doesn't really scream "brilliant" to me.

I'd say the retconning of his age is also supported by Worm Saga, were he doesn't mention at all his period in the Maruhkati and makes it sound like he was either born or taken to Artaeum at a very young age.

Plus, both in Worm Saga and in the Vault's flashbacks and in every other source ever (WRITTEN FOR ESO. AHEM.) we see that his "discovery" of necromancy happened on Artaeum. Like, it's screamed into our ears a couple of times or more in the game itself.

The problem with all of this? The book that implies he lived through the Middle Dawn is still present in ESO.

Which is to me one little example of a bigger issue with ESO writers rewriting/retconning things without taking away/trying to somewhat link the original sources. But I digress, there are different ways to make this work but since some are too complicated to be discussed now, I'll just share with you what I usually go with;

Mannimarco is a great liar. Not only a liar, a politician. A sales man. A guru. He knows how to give himself prestige. What "Where were you when the dragon broke?" is to me is either fake accounts fabricated by the Cult themselves, or stolen accounts (probably from Artaeum's archives!) where his false experience was added and then sent around Tamriel.

If I had to make a TIMELINE for all the pieces cited, I would say the publication order would be "Where were you when the dragon broke" (used as propaganda by the Cult to make Mannimarco's figure important)-> "Artaeum Lost" (disproves what was fabricated about Mannimarco)-> "Worm Saga" (new attempt to give himself prestige with that "aldmer, scion of et'Ada").

thinkin about bestfriend!johnny who sweet talked his way between your legs, and who is just so good at fucking, you sometimes recklessly allow yourself the fantasy of something *more* with him, which is almost unbearable because of the enormity of your love for each other. until he manhandles you a bit too roughly, a bit too fucking well, and you’re all at once reminded of how strong he is, how the weight and breadth of him have been forged by *killing*, and by being very fucking good at it. you forget, until you glimpse the obsessive coldness hidden in his eyes. there’s a killer in your bed.

belovedunseeling i seriously need to take your brain and put it in a museum or something oh my god

funny, unserious johnny that gives you raspberries on your tummy and ruffles your hair. silly, goofy johnny that sends you texts like "your so smart, kitty, anywayz when r u done work 2day". playful, smiley johnny who's your best friend, with the fluffiest hair and puppy dog eyes.

your best friend who suddenly looks like a completely different person when you glance over your shoulder when he's fucking you in your bed. brows furrowed and mouth a tight snarl, his laughter too rough, too grating. his hands that clench too tight around your hips, a hidden strength you barely ever encounter in your daily life with him.

your best friend who clamps a hand down on your shoulder when you unconsciously try to crawl up the bed and away from him. who growls "no no no, you get fucking back here" and wrenches you back into him.

Thinking about Draken giving you backshots in the back seat of your car.

You whine and paw at him after a movie date later at night so the parking lot is almost empty, plus it was too cold for his bike so you had a perfectly nice back seat to ruin. Any other time he probably would have told you no, rolling his eyes and telling you you're crazy (affectionately) but there was something about tonight that was different. Chalk it up to how pretty you look or the moon cycle or whatever but he's shuffling to the backseat to get in between your legs without any argument.

Next thing he knows you're underneath him, his big hands pushing you into a nasty arch with your ass against his pelvis and your hands scrambling to hold onto anything as you cream around his thick cock. Every roll of his hips has you squealing and seeing stars, his heavy groans and slaps to your asscheeks only pushing you further and further over the edge. Maybe you shift your hips a bit too far away when a particularly hard thrust nearly knocks your air out before he forcibly pulls you back to spear you on his length, his flushed chest pressing against your back.

"Nuh-uh princess don't be running from me" He scolds with a nip to your shoulder blade "you wanted this dick so bad, you'll take it. All of it"
