Sheogorath: Hey, what’s up? I’m completely fine like I said, you stupid idiot.

Shalidor: Yeah, great timeline-resetting, dicknips.

Valaste: Actually, this guy never reset the timeline. You’re kinda just really bad at killing people.

Sheogorath: Yeah, no. I’m fucking with ‘im at this point. You ever heard of gaslighting? That’s like my specialty. I’m the devil. Did you know that? Hi, nice to meet you. I already know who you are, Valaste. You translated that riddle that one time?

Valaste: Ooh, gaslight me! Gaslight me!

Sheogorath: Oh, I already am. I was gaslighting you this whole time.

Valaste: Whooooa-ho-ho-ho-ho! Cool!

Sheogorath: Shut up.

My favourite part about Elder Scrolls Online gas to be Arch Mage Shalidor’s audacity to claim Sheogorath as evil. Like, my dude, you bet against the Daedric Prince of Madness, what did you think would happen?

Honestly you can be glad Sheo didn’t do worse.

Whole time through, I was on Sheo’s side.

I was travelling through a zone on a hunt for skyshards and lorebooks. I got stopped by a mob, and Azandar, going into combat mode, yelled: "You are interrupting scholarship!"

Yeah, that was actually a very accurate description of the situation.

Vanus Galerion wanted the Vestige to fail the Mages Guild ESO questline and if Vestige doesn't give in to Sheogorath deal he still sabotages it post-game send tweet.

THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM - Shalidor's Maze

Sheogorath: If you listen closely to dishwashers, you can hear the slurping sound of the hundreds of tongues cleaning off the dishes.

Shalidor: I am not a violent person, but I’m about to be.

Every time I play the College of Winterhold Questline and get the staff in Labyrinthian is to joke that my character would use the staff on Ancano as a weapon as a last resort. Not as a magical staff, but a melee weapon (i mean with the decorations on top, and with a good swing - you probably could do some bludgeoning damage if struck right?). But now playing through it with Eden (who very much doesn’t want to be there), they’re the one that would probably ignore that it’s a magic staff (beyond scarcely using it for the battle on the Eye) and just full on beat Ancano with it, as their main way of attacking, because why not.

Which is why then being named Archmage is even more funnier. This random loser who randomly showed up to get an Elder Scroll (for Dawnguard) and didn’t show up after, appears 2 in game years later to Saarthal (reluctantly, Miraak dragged them there but they only go along with it because of being able to get Morokei in order to claim Konahrik + to see Urag for more books for the museum, he’s the only person actually keeping them there). Spent the entire Questline using a bow and shouts and a few seconds of panicked healing, but besides that, no spells. Got back from Labyrinthian, beat the Thalmor up with the literal staff (an artifact of a God). And the Psijic Order saw that and went “yeah, that one is the perfect fit” and Tolfdir just went along with it??? (Either these people are trolling or they are straight up that desperate).

Anyways - They’ll force Tolfdir to become Archmage (“either you take over, or I’m making J’Zargo the Archmage” (if he keeps pushing, they’ll just pull random NPCs to the college as a replacement until he gives up), because nope, even as a purely symbolic status, they’re not doing that (which every leadership of every guild in this game is).

-“Don’t contact me, unless on the rare event of the Thalmor sends another advisor to the college, then I’ll handle it. Only us and the Sea of Ghosts will know where they will be resting”.

The only time they return is to help Arniel in order to obtain Keening, when he disappears to who the fuck knows, they just panicked, grabbed the dagger and never showed up to the College again (unless they can figure out a teleportation method to the Arcaneum and just the Arcaneum, because Urag).

Shalidor, Magnus and Julianos would be so proud of this loser, not.

Stubborn grass and roots stand in the stiff arctic clime, refusing to yield. Ahead of you stands the entrance to the Labyrinthian, testing ground of the Archmagus Shalidor.

In which Vethis suffers. Truly.

I had to draw this scene. Vethis lives in my head rent free 💀 Full chapter available here on Quotev

thinking about the skeletal dragon in Labyrinthian. you don't get a dragon soul from it = it's not a dragon animating those bones = Shalidor necromanced something Else into a dragon skeleton for his wizard death maze... do we think the bones belonged to Morokei's dragon originally

mouse(@everybodyknows-everybodydies)'s writing on shalidor's much-overlooked ex-wife (and the mind behind half of his famed projects and discoveries) has captivated me utterly. nothing cooler than an old-timey woman whose contributions to her field were subsumed by her ex-husband and whose memory now exists only in buried glimpses and guesses, a series of scraps to be pieced fruitlessly together. my beloved
