Yaaay!

yaaay!

for better reference, check out illumancer's old drawings of their miraak - i'm heavily inspired by that, because it was the first representation of miraak that i'd ever seen that totally agreed with me.

tall (which i believe is the only fandom-wide consensual characteristic), broad shouldered, long and thick limbed, strong boulder of a man. rich brown skin (in my canon, he's part yokudan) with these gorgeous golden eyes like q sunset; but, in the modern era, they're notably unsettling to look at because of their lack of life. they occasionally flare with emotion, but most of the time they are cold and flat, and despite their beauty, that thousand-yard-stare is difficult to keep prolonged eye contact with.

his hair is a bit unruly, a bit wavy but not curly (unless it grows long) and usually parted, but not slicked back, with some strands framing or falling around the edges of his forehead. his nose is broad, his jaw is broad and a bit squarish, his lips are soft and everything about his face is proportionate. and his eyebrows are pretty thick, but neat (once read a post where they said people w thicker eyebrows are more angry so YEAH).

in my canon (and mostly because, when i first started writing, i was a bit all over the place and not thinking much about anything) miraak takes his mask off almost immediately out of apocrypha. he leaves it in his backpack, and later, in their room at the college, and after that, tucked away in one of those low, long chests at the foot of the bed in their home. he never touches it unless he needs to - and he almost never needs to. he doesn't want to keep wearing the mask outside of apocrypha because it reminds him of hermaeus mora, it reminds him of the young, stupid, prideful man who thought he could cheat a daedric prince, who thought he could topple dragons, and who thought he could abandon his family in pursuit of false knowledge. he switches out the mask for a hood, usually pulling it up to cast a shadow on his face but not hide it. he deserves to be seen.

even the scars, the two over the bridge of his nose, and the one in his eyebrow. he leaves the mask behind because he forgot his face in apocrypha, and is too terrified of forgetting again to don the mask once more.

that, and he enjoys tharya being able to caress his face whenever she wants to.

Still sick.

What does your Miraak look like under the mask? Or does he never, ever take it off?

it actually makes me so s/mad that smoker gets nerfed after the timeskip, because he has SO much potential. my man is a vice admiral in the new world, he's gotta be strong - so i understand the narrative affect of one or two meaningful defeats (esp from doflamingo, who is crazy) but getting his ass whooped continually throughout a single arc just feels wrong. at the very least i hope my man gets a good comeback or at least does something crazy important by the end. i think it would've been more meaningful to keep him around his threat level in loguetown throughout the series - a powerful antihero who the straw hats/luffy can escape by inches at every turn - rather than making him like, one shot-able. til then catch me writing him at the power level he should be at if oda didn't want him as cannon fodder (one piece dudebros die mad about it okay?) in best case scenario all his defeats on punk hazard give him a training montage and he comes back stronger than ever 💨 you can't call him "smoker the white hunter" or "white chase smoker" without giving him some reason to live up to the name, imo.

i am honestly so in love with that version of miraak 🤩 so of course i had to basically adopt him.

in my canon miraak's father was a yokudan sailor while miraak's mother was atmoran; neither of them were super tall though, lending to miraak being 'only' 6'8" (203cm), a few inches short by atmoran standards 🤪

he looks almost like a carbon copy of his father (jondor) which is unfortunate because jondor left and went back to yokuda when miraak was born.

Still sick.
