Full Targaryen Family Tree

I began work on this last year and it took two weeks to do the paper dolls, crop and paste them and even more weeks to get all the lines straight. I wasn't sure if i was gonna post it anywhere because it's so huge, but hopefully the segmentation will make it easier to view on mobile.

Only women are pictured because i suck at male paperdolls

I will post the paper dolls later in generational groups (along with others from those time-spans that aren't in the family tree.)

i did an alduin redesign awhile ago but it sucked so i decided to try again

my reason behind both is that skyrim’s dragons are so fucking boring, especially alduin in terms of him being pretty much a god but his design is just ‘youve seen every dragon ever.. now its got more spikes”. this one takes some inspo from jörmundgandr (which i assume alduin was at least slightly inspired by in general) so im going for a more serpentine wormy thing. i feel like the alduin you see and kill in-game is just an aspect of THE Alduin, because youd think an entity that eats the world every cycle would be less easy to beat by some guy who can yell good, and hes still gonna come back and do his world eating regardless.

so with this in mind, the idea with the design is that you see different aspects of him ingame. the more draconic one is what you see in your early encounters, and one that you encounter in sovengarde is his true form as a gigantic serpent. you never see his whole body and his coils just disappear out of view ..  kind of defeats the game mechanics purpose of dragonrend but like a) i dont care b) the lore reason is to force the dragon to experience mortality, so i imagine that his boss fight would start with him as a giant infinite serpent but is temporarily forced into his draconic aspect by the shout and can then be “killed”.

also theres a paarthurnax who, like his brother, is a big worm but isnt quite an infinite world serpent

Bethesda needs to release tes6 because we've now reached the stage of Skyrims life where such ships as Carlotta/Ysolda and Enthir/Urag are being made. Soon we'll start shipping named bandit bosses. Todd please save us from this madness, I don't think I can stay sane if they begin shipping the Dragon Priests.

and what is so wrong with carlotta/ysolda!!!

Op I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but people have been shipping the dragons priests for a while

They fucking what. Show me. Show me the sacred texts I need to confirm this. Is there fucking fanfiction. Fanart? Both?

Dear diary,

Torbjorn is soooooo handsome, I just love the way he says "kren sosaal"! I wish I was brave enough to tell him, but whenever I see those glowing blue eyes and that handsome mottled grey chin, I just freeze up. I'm so frustrated, I almost HOPE someone comes and raids the barrow so I can beat them to death...

I'm fed up with how Hrefna the Storm-Weaver thinks she can boss us all around. Nirn to Hrefna, the dragons died out thousands of years ago, the only thing you're a priest of is silly masks! She does know how to sing, though, I'll give her that.

Idea! If I can get Hrefna to teach me how to sing, maybe I can sing something marvellous and make Torbjorn notice me! I'll have to play it cool, as if I'm just singing to myself while I stack the wheels of cheese, at a convenient moment when he just happens to be coming by... Or I could hide his big Draugr Death Overlord helmet to make sure he comes by. I don't want to get stabbed again, though... What do I do?!

No one asked but I think the secret to making the enemies-to-lovers trip work is respect. They can loath each other, but they have to loath each other as equals. Like “sorry but no one else is allowed to murder this man but me” + “it’s an honor and privilege to despise you.”
