Hi! 🇦🇷 / 18 / AroAce 💜💚 / TES obsessed / INFJ I'm new, so, I don't really know how this works- But, I want to post things of my TES characters! I'm REALLY lazy, so, it won't be often-

Me: Well, I have a little bit of free time, let's play Dragon Age nn!!

My headphones: MY NAME, MY NAME, MY NAME IS HATSUNE MIKU

VOCALOID

Ho ho

VOCALOID-

Dealing with auditory processing disorder

LAWFUL: take the parts you heard and turn it into a clarifying question, e. g. "you saw your cousin where?" or "she's writing a what?"

NEUTRAL: "what did you say?"

CHAOTIC: take a wild stab at what the person said, e. g. "you want to baptize a mackerel?"

To answer someone's question: yes this post applies to you even if you only experience auditory processing difficulties sometimes. Dynamic disability is still disability, and you can still count yourself as disabled even if your disability is not 100% all the time.

Personally, I like post-extraction Miraak being one of those villains turned reluctant (or “reluctant”) buddies with the player character/their group where he keeps very vocally insisting he’s still going to RULE SOLSTHEIM STILL, OOOH GET READY! and more or less proceeds to not really do much about it atm

But he feels like shit, like literally he looked up while there in the flesh and it was sunny out and he just threw up because he’s not used to the sun and everything hurts, and almost died of dehydration because he forgot he needs to eat and drink. Also if he’s headcanoned to restore to his human/normal appearance or develop one he hasn’t done that yet, and he won’t stop secreting apocrypha goo as it leaves his system, so now your house essentially has a snail trail from a sad pissy man who insists he WILL fulfill his plans, but also he respects you as the LDB, also he appreciates the water down broth his body WON’T reject violently for the first like 2 weeks, he needs to sleep for 3 days straight now k thanks,

Taliesin: I must say, you've a very good nose for finding injured people, Inigo.
Inigo: Thank you. They are just up this hill.
Kaidan: Peak's Shade?
Lucien: Oh dear, I hope S'vashni hasn't killed anybody again..
Xelzaz: No, this one is still alive.
Inigo: There they are!
Gore: *sitting on the ground with his leg caught in a bear trap*
Lucien: Oh gosh. I suppose asking if you're okay wouldn't be very helpful here.
Gore: N-Not really- *sees Morana standing near the front of the group* Uh.
Morana: *sighs, shaking her head. She pulls out her notebook and begins writing in it, showing the finished phrase to Gore* Hello, my name is Morana. No I am not here to kill you or lead you to your death. *she tilts her head, considering, before turning the notebook back towards her and adding more* Or enslave you.
Gore: You- What? I mean, the killing or leading me to my death I would have believed, but where did enslavement come from?
Morana: *points at Yaksha* That one.
Yaksha: Haha. She saved me from a slaver.
Gore: That.. makes more sense. But, if you're not here to kill me, then... *he stares at the group, confused. His gaze finds Taliesin, and his expression falls into a glare* You're here to imprison me. You're with the Thalmor.
Taliesin: What.
Morana: *waving her hands frantically* No, we're not. *turns to Taliesin* I told you to stop wearing those robes!
Taliesin: Well I don't have anything else to wear!
Morana: I just bought you new Vagrant robes!
Taliesin: When???
Morana: Like a week ago! I told you about them!
Gore: What is happening.
Lucien: Ah, Morana can't speak very well, so she uses sign language. Me, Taliesin and Yaksha can understand her, and the others are learning.
Kaidan: *speaking over Taliesin's arguing* Anyways, Taliesin won't imprison you or anything. If he were still a Thalmor Justiciar he wouldn't be alive right now. I'd have made sure of it.
Inigo: Yes, do not worry.
Gore: ... Right. I suppose I'll believe it for now.. Um. *he winces* Can you guys- just get me out of this thing?
Kaidan: Oh shit I forgot about that- Yeah, we'll get you out. Yaksha!
Yaksha: Right here. Please bite down on this while we get your leg free. *hands him a leather strip*
Gore: Thanks..
Morana: *looks over at Gore's muffled yelling* Oh, you got him free.
Xelzaz: *sigh* No thanks to you!
Taliesin: Don't you look away from me, I am still talking to you!
Morana: *shakes her head*
Taliesin: Don't roll your eyes at me!
Morana: I wasn't even looking at you!
Yaksha: *checking for broken bones and applying healing salve to Gore's wound* How does that feel? Better?
Gore: Very much so. Thank you, er..
Yaksha: Yaksha. And that's Kaidan, Lucien, Inigo, Xelzaz, Taliesin, Styx, and Morana.
Gore: Quite a crowd you all have. Cute nightmare dog.
Lucien: Isn't she?
Styx: *barks*
Taliesin: *still rambling* It's not as if it is my fault the Thalmor hunt anyone suspicious! Of course people like Kaidan are going to be targeted if they stand out enough!
Morana: You're really not helping your case here.
Gore: Er, my name's Gore.
Inigo: Gore? That is quite a strange name.
Gore: It's a long story. Any chance we could talk about it back in town?
Lucien: Oh yes- Yes of course! Is he well enough to stand yet, Yaksha?
Yaksha: I am unsure. If need be, I can carry him.
Gore: I don't think that'll be necessary, big guy.
Morana: *still arguing* For claiming to know so much about fashion, you're certainly attached to those ugly robes.
Taliesin: UGLY?! Why you-!
Morana: *perks up, hearing twigs snapping at the bottom of the hill* Wait shut up.
Taliesin: You dare tell me to-?!
Morana: I said shut up!
Inigo: You heard it too?
Morana: *nods* ...
Kaidan: Yaksha, watch the lad.
Gore: Who the hell are you calling a lad-?
Thalmor Soldier: Well the mutt couldn't have gone off far! Spread out and search for him! And be careful, there are hunting traps everywhere.
Inigo: *whispers, sword drawn* We go on your signal, my friend.
Morana: *nods, drawing her dagger and dousing it in poison* Go.
~
Morana: *taps Gore's shoulder*
Gore: *sitting by the fire, leg bandaged* Hm? What is it?
Morana: *showing him her notebook* How's your leg?
Gore: Fine. Your healer works wonders.
Morana: Yeah, he's the best we could ask for.
Yaksha: *competing with Inigo to see who can fit the most honey nut treats in their mouths*
Morana: ... Assuming he doesn't choke to death himself.
Gore: Haha! I can see there's no end of excitement with these ones.
Morana: Are you sure you're okay travelling with someone who used to be a Thalmor? I'll understand if you don't want to.
Gore: Hm, well.. It'll take some getting used to. I think I'll survive, though. As long as he doesn't try anything funny.
Morana: You sound like Kaidan.
Gore: Ha!
Taliesin: *walks out of the tent wearing his new Vagrant robes* ...
Morana: Well, how are they?
Taliesin: ... They are. Acceptable. I thought most Vagrant robes had conjuration enchantments though. Are these destruction?
Morana: I enchanted them myself.
Taliesin: ... I suppose I must thank you, then.
Morana: I suppose so.
Gore: I'm really gonna have to learn your sign language so I know what you're saying without that book.
Taliesin: It seems Lucien has taken up the mantle of resident sign language teacher, if you'd like to ask him.
Gore: I'll be sure to do that.

She’s got a point Taliesin the thalmor robes are really ugly, you look like a knock off kingdom hearts character ~bambi

I WAS SUPER FOCUSED ON THE CONVERSATION UNTIL I SAW YOUR COMMENT, BAMBI, SHUDSJAJJAJAJA

I love everything about this, I now want Gore and Yaksha in my team 😭

Anyone else go a little buck wild for inverted tropes when it comes to writing vampires in TES? Especially in context of close relationships?

Vampire blood is an established antivenom in TES. Picture a situation where your character is poisoned and there is no antidote. Watch their vampire companion slide up their sleeve and cut their arm before bringing it to the character's lips, cursing and begging under their breath that it works as they offer their own blood up to another.

Vampires are natural predators, but they have to drink blood to survive. Picture a situation where a vampire witnesses their perfectly normal adventurer friend killing people without question or remorse, having been in this line of work too long to have a soft spot for the people on the other side of the blade, knowing that even a second of hesitation can be the difference between life and death. What kind of thoughts would run through that vampire's head, seeing a person kill others not out of necessity but as a mere precaution? As a source of income? As a source of entertainment?

Vampires do not feel cold, but their friends do. Picture a traveler close to freezing, struggling to keep themselves conscious, when a vampire takes off the clothes they wear for appearances and offer them up. The confusion and gratitude mixing in the person's expression as the vampire ventures out into the ungodly cold, looking for food, for warmth, for any kind of help, dragging their freezing, vulnerable, mortal companion on their back if it means even the smallest chance at saving their fragile life.

Is that anything idk. Consider this a vaguepost about Serana and every vampire OC out there.
