Aureli-us - Aurelius

honestly i'm so sick of seeing people ragging on people who are less enthused abt the new DA4 stuff 😭 the trailer was shit, the gameplay reveal was much better. i am not the hugest fan initially of the art style but it has grown on me and i presume it will be better once i'm immersed in it in-game. does it all look & feel a little bit like a mobile action RPG? yes. that is my unprofessional opinion now tumblr can you stop with all the echo chamber shit and relax when people think differently 😭 overall i'm really excited for the game and was tbh expecting a LOT worse, so i'm pleasantly surprised! and i will be buying it regardless bc i'm very excited for it! but we're all forming ride or die opinions based on....what, 10-15 mins of edited and spliced together gameplay? like please chill😭

i like dropping little tidbits about upcoming fics as if i'm a huge name brand movie studio dropping tiny crumbs of information to goad people so they freak tf out when the full thing drops 😌

i feel like these two posts go together. inexplicably

Miraak: The dragonborn has an ulterior motive. I can't let my attraction to her sway me. I have to resist.

Also Miraak: *Writes down her name in his notebook, literally has a sketch of her in his notebook, can't stop thinking about her eyes, dreams of her, stares at her when he thinks she is not looking, doesn't mind when she touches him, enjoys her company and has made excuses to spend more time with her, compliments her on her strength regularly, has definitely made some subtle flirty comment at her*

Do you think after a particularly intense battle, someone fighting with their Thu’um would lose their voice? Like, the Last Dragonborn would be all hoarse and croaky for a week after fighting Miraak

last line tag

OP did NOT tag me (@pitiable-arisen) but i wanted to do it anyway :3 i've been getting close to finishing the last chapter of my new fic and wrote some miraak bangers (as usual, he always gets my best lines, sorry tharya)

“Good heroes do not exist.” Lofrek jumped a little at those words, surprised by their force and clarity since Miraak had been murmuring his sentences until now. But he said it so staunchly, so fully, that Lofrek couldn’t help but peer up at him. He would have to get used to that gaze if he wanted to make any of this work in the years they would inevitably be around each other. “They are only people whose shortcomings are weighted less when faced with the grandiosity of their accomplishments. Your sister tries to be something that does not exist, and cannot be attained - she knows this. It makes her better, but it destroys her.”

tagging anyone and everyone who wants to share! @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @nusaran @evil-is-relative @elventhief
