happy pride to the jarls of skyrim and the way they sit on their thrones.
Imperial dogs don't want you to know this, but the mud crabs at the pond are free, you can take them home. I have 27 mudcrabs at home.

Why do I think that, if Miraak was asked whether he's a Dragonborn, he would respond "I am not A Dragonborn, I am THE Dragonborn"?
DB: “He asked for no pickles.”
Lucien: *sweating profusely*
I think this has been done already but 🗿
inigo is laughing cuz he’s confused
Me, casually (and FINALLY) downloading "Elder Scrolls Online" after YEARS: Can't wait to be able to draw my Tav from the game 🤭🥰
Also me seeing allllll the body markings/tattoos options knowing I'll have to redraw them to perfection:
the fact that all of the main priest’s names translate to smth that’s a one word meaning makes me wonder if miraaks name is supposed to mean smth specific by ‘allegiance guide’. like. idk. it’s late i need to go to bed.
get to know my character: for tharya and miraak you can answer these questions for both! 3,4, 6, 11,17, 28, 39, anddddd 48 pls
thank you for the ask!! it is a welcome break from election watching lol. i answered all for both tharya & miraak below the cut!
3. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?
miraak doesn’t really have a favorite—he actually is quite proud of his body, minus the scars, and works hard to keep himself strong. however, he does particularly like his eyes and his arms.
tharya would have a tough time choosing simply because she doesn’t think of herself highly. but she does like her hair; it’s a nice color, soft, and she enjoys messing around with it.
4. What are their favorite physical traits about their lover? (One psychological and one physical)
HOOO BOY isn’t this a great ask. let me drop some knowledge: miraak literally worships tharya. he thinks she is an actual divine being, heaven sent. in that sense he treasures everything about her, but especially her eyes—they were his first anchors in the waking world—and her endless selflessness.
tharya really admires miraak’s intelligence; my man has an entire library stored in his head, and knows everything about everything, especially when it comes to magic and history. she also really likes his bara tiddies.
6. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?
hmm good one. miraak has a hard time finding hobbies once back in tamriel but after a few years he settles in more, and actually gets into composing music and drawing. he’s very private about what he draws, but will often share music with her or ask for opinions.
tharya’s hobbies almost always include making things; she likes to whittle or build stuff, enchant things, or tend a garden. so i guess no, they don’t really annoy each other with hobbies!
11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?
miraak is laughably easy to aggravate, but to make him fly into a rage you’d probably have to insult tharya directly—bonus points if it’s something he knows she’s insecure about. also try to talk down to him, see how it goes. talk shit about atmora? you’re done. mention hermaeus mora within a 50 mile radius of him? he’ll know, and he’ll kill you on sight.
tharya is much, much harder to irritate. she’s very easy-going and laid-back. unlike miraak, who goes off the hook the first time, it would take repeated incidents to make her angry. repeated insults, repeated failures, repeated betrayals will all make her pretty upset.
17. Does your character have dreams of getting married and/or having children?
oooh. miraak, yes. miraak wants nothing more than to have kids of his own. marriage he could go either way—it would be nice, but he prioritizes kids. unfortunately as a priest he was made sterile, and it continues to haunt him.
tharya, less so. she hasn’t ever considered marriage or kids as an option for herself simply because...she’s not your standard woman. pregnancy scares her, too, and she doesn’t feel like she’d be a good parent (which is probably true.) she feels bad about it because miraak makes it pretty damn clear he’d have kids if he was able, but she also knows he wouldn’t force her into doing so, and she doesn’t want kids.
28. If your character became a celebrity, what would they be famous for?
i’m gonna take this from the modern au that’s been lurking in my head for months now: miraak & the solstheim priests create a musical group. since they’re all hot dudes with great voices they become popular really fast. i wouldn’t count out miraak being a male model either tbh.
tharya is less likely to be famous simply because she doesn’t have “big industry” talents, but if she were to become a celebrity, it would probably be because she’s a huge activist on climate change (kinda like greta thurnberg) and has a really nice travel blog.
39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?
a lot of people assume miraak is tharya’s huge, callous, silent, scary, war veteran bodyguard before they think he’s the first dragonborn. though he isn’t a war veteran, he definitely has the look of one. miraak just gives off a strange aura that steers people away from him; and he is huge and scary and somewhat of a bodyguard, and he never speaks, so most people are correct.
let’s assume people don’t know tharya is the dragonborn for a sec. a lot of people would write her off because she’s kinda small, just your average looking nord woman and doesn’t look like she commands a lot of power. and since she’s a mage that would probably drag her credit further. so a lot of people would be wrong about her.
48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?
miraak gets jealous almost as easily as he gets angry, however, like his anger, his jealousy has stages ranging from harmless, mild, annoying, and severe. he’s an attention whore specifically only for tharya’s attention, so take that away from him for a long time and he’ll be bitchy. other people flirting with her or being grabby makes him both angry and jealous.
tharya, like we said before, is super laid back, and a people person; she can read the room and body language really well. she knows when idiots are flirting with her and politely removes herself, but that doesn’t stop miraak from seething across the room. it takes a lot for her to get actually jealous, if she ever does.
this is the most self indulgent shit i’ve ever drawn in my life , bruh 🙈
some wip wednesday!
just wanted to share some of the skyrim project i'm working on :3 hoping to start posting in april (or at least put ch1 up before my ao3 draft dies lmao). open tag for anyone who wants to join, but here are some folks i know may have WIPs of any kind:
@kiir-do-faal-rahhe @helix-studios117 @nuwanders
Suddenly Miraak was below her on the ground, his eyes widening and the stench of fear flooding through his pores as he called her name; he was so distant, so slow. Her saliva slathered over her chin and dripped onto his neck, onto his pulse, quick and warm. She felt dirt push under her nails as she dug her hands into the soft ground on either side of his head - somehow his arm had detached from her, she felt it slip away as her back began to bend and crawl and her skin moved and bubbled and trembled, stretching so thin it turned white, and then a murky brown-grey.
"Tharya," Miraak whispered, struggling for breath as her face twisted and snarled just above him, as her teeth lengthened and sharpened. "I'm here, elskavin. Don't. I'm here. Your family-" she screamed at him as he spoke, a scream that had a thousand different sounds behind it, augmented chords that pulled and plucked her voice into a gargling roar, and then a guttural howl.
“But I will not bow down to the cruel fate. Some day, I know all this suffering will pass and fade away like a morning fog. All sins will be forgiven and all the blood washed away, some day. Everything will be buried by the dust of history and become part of the songs.”
— The Bard, Vigilant Mod (Skyrim)

Thank you all for the kind words and the warmest support! it means a lot to me 😳 Through this series, I wanted to convey this feeling of...awe that I had when I first played Skyrim.

"Stolen Sweetroll"
Your dad may have most of the money in Skyrim... but stealing that sweetroll was still worth it. Just for the thrill of it!
He definitely overuses his privilige of being recognized as the hero of Skyrim because of you.

My first artwork with so much perspective :)
When I escaped the dragon and safely arrived to Riverwood Faendal was the first living being to greet me (well, except the chicken of course xD). He stood there, basking in the sunlight, waiting with his quest. In the distance loomed a vision of our forthcoming adventure in Bleak Falls Barrow.
