Trying to transliterate Leara's name into Quenya, and it somehow becomes, uh,

Lëarra

Which basically means "You Sealion!"

And I'm just, "Oh yes, this is That Sealion Woman, and she can breathe fire, as all sealions do."

If Leara, for any reason at all, needed an actual Quenya or Sindarin name for any fun Elvish shenanigans, we'll just use Calairie/Calearil, which is "Light of the Sea" in Quenya and Sindarin, and what Leara actually means.

never underestimate the power of hyperspecific worldbuilding conversations with a friend to be immediately and irrevocably incorporated into your personal canon

Thinking about how if the Dragonborn is Talos reborn and falls in love with an elf and demands peace how poetic that is

Favorite daedric prince?

you get three guesses and the first two don't count! here's a hint: my ldb, vestige, and hok are all daughters of sheogorath 🧀

they're each the demiprince of shenanigans! it's a family title. gets passed down from one sister to the next every time there's an apocalyptic prophecy ready to unfold...

some suspect the madgod is strategically having magically-inclined offspring by somehow divining forbidden knowledge, whether it be from the elder scrolls or some obscurer oracle, to calculate the best place and time to set his spawn up for success. others think it's a mix of good genes and blind luck. a select few swear that he's the one making up all these prophecies in the first place. who's to say? at least these ladies have... gouda intentions.

Given that Ayrenn wasn't a xenophobic isolationist piece of shit (quite the opposite) I'm rather stunned the ancestors did give her their blessing

230-something Vanus Galerion. The glass changes shape because it'a a different one, by the way. Not a mistake of the artist. He's just drinking a lot.

On unrelated "ramble about an OC note".

I do joke a whole lot about Deer being a dumbass, but while this is not entirely wrong, this is entirely correct either.

Like, yes, she is derpy, and is not exactly bright about many topics, and makes really questionable life choices (especially about sticking her nose in the all and every life-threatening situation she can).

But she is very much not an idiot.

She is competent in what she is doing, intelligent enough to excel with both her dragonknight stuff (and therefore a pretty complicated and unorthodox type of magic) and the whole adventuring/dungeon delving/being a fancy bodyguard thing. All of which naturally would require her to be, you know, smart enough to don't die.

🏃🏃🏃 running back in here to ask for 💇👖🪞 for my poor little meow meow andros

YES pathetic tallboy hours

💇 What is your OC’s hairstyle? How do they maintain their hair? Do they wash it and/or cut it regularly? Have they ever dyed their hair?

-His hair is light golden blonde and goes down to the small of his back. In casual settings he lets it down, maybe a few small braids in it. He washes it regularly and takes great pride in it. In battle he wears it in a long braid or coiled up into a bun so it stays out of his face. He has specialty salves he rubs through it to keep it soft and smelling like flowers.

👖 What type of clothing does your OC generally wear? Why? Do they have any “signature” accessories?

--Hes a clothes snob and prefers to wear only things of the highest quality. He enjoys silk and velvet above all else, and is fond of things cut with lace or floral designs. An example for casualwear would be this

His favorite accessory would be the deep  blue brooch his mother gave him that matches his eyes. Hes very particular about what he wears and it took a long time for him to get used to wearing… ‘lesser’ clothing while out camping and sleeping in tents. 

🪞 How does your OC perceive themself? Do they believe themself to be attractive, unattractive, or average? Does their view of themself affect their self-esteem, or are they unbothered by their physical appearance? (If your OC does have things they’re confident or insecure about, what are they?)

-Physically he knows he is a very beautiful man. I mean, he was literally bred to be so. His parents were chosen together for being ideal altmer specimen and bred to produce offspring with the most desirable traits. Hes constantly fretting about his appearance and trying to be as attractive as possible and gets anxiety when he feels hes not living up to his own standards. Hes both very confident (arrogant) in his appearance and very insecure about every little detail. Hes made his public persona and outward appearance so important (due to his upbringing) that when its taken away from him he really doesnt have a lot of sense of self to fall back on.

Sometimes, nightmares of his childhood will trigger Briengr's long-repressed memories of the day his biological family was killed by bandits. If the nightmare is particularly bad, Briengr will revert to an almost child-like state and instinctively cry out for his mother in a language he can't remember before it passes.

vollithil, a character who has been my eyes in my current playthrough of skyrim anniversary edition. this guy kind of has me enraptured. ive been collecting an absurd amount of mushrooms so of course hes a mycologist. idk what hes doing in skyrim but whatever it is it involves fungus

hes a natural redhead but dyes his hair blonde, and an amputee on both legs below the knee but the only reason why thats not pictured here is because i am afraid of how ornate and detailed altmeri prosthetics are

kind of a stuffy, stuck up guy who thinks he knows whats best. claims to be apolitical but tends to parrot thalmor rhetoric. has never taken responsibility for his own actions. his intentions are probably good but his head is too far up his own ass to actually take initiative. he sucks and i hate him
