colin + he/it/she + 23

this is my TES sideblog. should be considered 18+. be mindful of potentially sensitive topics. i like to talk and think about vivec, predominantly.

i know and do not care about lore.

i have played morrowind and skyrim and will play oblivion whenever i feel like it.

other interests include but not limited to: paleontology, ecology, anthropology, ceramics.

i am like a butterfly. be nice and enjoy your stay.

i'm so happy you like my interpretation❤️T_T

i don't think i have, no worries. i have fun thinking about them because i feel like it was very strained, but still close.

going off WMBTM, vivec right off the bat does not hold a high opinion of her, in a misogyny charged way, and this comes up more in the lessons. i wonder where it comes from, if it's purely projection and/or jealousy, was she really so notably lascivious....??!

i don't have an idea of the exact timeline of events, who said and did what to drive them together, but i imagine there was a sort of "click" when they met face to face. i like to think the guards were mid shooing him and nerevar off before ayem saw them and felt a chill down her spine or something, lol.

nerevar is canonically older, but ayem feels so right as the oldest... and vivec is young, and crass, and is not easily swayed by her authority. immediate tension. they both end up wanting to put each other in their place, passive aggressive, purposefully pushing buttons (vivec especially). ayem is about as privileged as it gets, too, and this is an easy target for vivec.

they are both artists, and you'd think this would be an opportunity for bonding, but it leads to more clashing. they have very different ideas about art. ayem is not very impressed by vivec's writing. maybe she thinks he is wasting his talent. vivec in turn tends to find her work vapid. maybe they open their minds more as they get older, see the value in both. i hope so!

at the end of the day though they grow to have a lot of respect for each other. they really do care.. i picture ayem worrying over vivec at times, when he's not doing well, to his annoyance. and vivec worries for her much later down the line as almsivi breaks down. they have been through a lot together.

i like this question! i've thought about it before...

i think it would be the stubbornness that is required to be in their position. i imagine nerevar was an extremely driven person. he was not swayed once he became set on something. if it needed to be done, it was.
