Hi! I'm MareenaVee. (She/They) 🖤🤍💜 | 💚🤍🖤
I am not super active on Tumblr these days, but I've not disappeared entirely!
I write fanfics like a nerd, mostly Elder Scrolls stuff but also have an old one I plan to revisit and finish in the Stardew Valley fandom :D Heyyy. Anyway. Click the link above to go to my collection of fics, which is not exhaustive. I'll be writing/posting more.
~*~
Anyway --
In real life I am a dog mom (when I post dog photos, they are here under the tag #nemesisnyx), an artist as well as an editor and proofreader professionally and yes you can ask me about that. That, and ask me about writing in general! I went to school for Creative Writing and it's a huge part of my life. I love it. Love telling stories in general.
I do write original fiction as well, but before I jumped back into fandom, a lot of it was short form and even sometimes poetry. I also used to perform spoken word poetry.
Anyway -- TAGS.
When I post my writing here, which I just might throw links to chapters, I'll use the tag #MareenaWrites. The tag will apply to anything about my current fic. Asks shall henceforth be filed under the tag #AskMareena.

@saltymaplesyrup did done tag me this week, so I tag them back as well as @archangelsunited, @crimsonsairina, @juliette-has-a-pencil, @thequeenofthewinter, @oblivions-dawn, @gilgamish, @kookaburra1701 and whomsoever else wants to share some art and/or writing this week!
I didn't write, I have to say, a hell of a lot in an actual document, because I am playing Skyrim once again. (SHOCKER.) But modded, this time! I was working on a new LDB named Eira Shore-Born. She is from Anvil in Cyrodiil, but like many LDBs, began her adventure near Falkreath. I'll talk more about her origin stories that are still in my head in a moment, but, for now, screenshots! I'm no screen archer, just warning ya'll. I am using the Constellations modpack and a few additional mods and replacers, and that's about the extent of it. ((Ignore the class/trait section on RM, I just pulled that up for screenshots a second ago.))
So...who is she?
This is Eira Shore-Born of Anvil. She didn't have the worst time of it growing up, except for the occasional racism against her Elven side—not to mention generally not totally fitting with either group because of that. They weren't poor, nor rich. They never went hungry. Her father was absent, for the most part—thought to be dead, but nobody could be sure. She is Half-Altmer on her father's side, Half-Nord on her mom's side. When her mom—a smith—passed without enlightening her about her family history, she took it upon herself to figure things out on her own. Apparently, her father was—or might still be—a mage. All she has from him is a ring, an odd affinity for magic, and a bunch of unanswered questions.
What does she look like?
She is a little taller than the average Nord. Her ears are a little pointier, her eyes a little more outlandish. Her skin is a pale golden color with freckles like her mother had, and her hair—while still technically blonde—is very nearly white. She wears a green mage outfit for traveling and uses a set of silver glasses. She has a few scars from misadventures while trying to follow leads about her father.
What skills does she have?
She is a very decent smith, like her mother. She wants to work on enchanting to combine her talents. She's not terrible with a sword or a bow, and is quick and light on her feet. You kind of have to be while traveling the countryside these days. While what magic she knows is powerful, she doesn't know a lot yet. She aims to change that.
Where is she now?
She crossed the border into Skyrim from Bruma, trying to make her way north and head for the College of Winterhold where she wants to study with professors who might have once known her father, if he was ever even there at all. She is headed toward Falkreath. If she had run into any trouble at all, it seems she'd have gotten caught up in the mess that happened in Helgen, but she missed the Imperial ambush. She paid attention to the news, but still isn't exactly sure what good the Civil War is doing at the moment. She did, in fact, see the giant black dragon as it flew from Helgen over the mountains. She and a few other travelers hid under an outcropping of stone, but she could have sworn the thing saw them. It paused mid-air and seemed to turn toward them, before deciding to fly away.
And For the Writer...
Q: Are you going to write a fic with Eira in it?
A: Perhaps, maybe. Not immediately. I do have another Dragonborn I'd like to write for first named Telare Velan (a Dunmer) of Solstheim who was in Skyrim to find her idiot kid brother, Arvel "The Swift" Velan and drag him home by the ear. (Her save file got corrupted, and no, Arvel didn't survive ofc, but that's why I'd like to write a fic.) Then shit, of course, happened, and she became the Dragonborn, and well, there's no way she'll let her little brother out of her sight to go play at being a bandit again, even if she has to save the world before they can go home.
Q: Will Eira's story occur in an alternate universe from Nyenna's story?
A: I am sure I am going to keep some headcanons here and there, but it'd be an excellent time for me to reimagine how magic works and fuck around a little more with that. I love Weird Magic Shit, as ya'll might remember from World.
Q: Who do you ship Eira with?
A: AH. Questions for the ages. (: Not Teldryn Sero. It depends. I think Rumarin or Lucien might be fun to write. Or perhaps she is bi or gay and falls for Remi or Mjoll or Lydia. Who knows? Maybe another OC? Maybe Athis? That boy deserves the world after what he's been through in World (;
Q: Can I send asks about Eira for ask games?
A: Yep! Any of my OCs are fun to wax poetic about.
Q: Can I borrow your screenshots for references or to try and remake Eira my way?
A: Go for it. You and I may have characters with the same names, but their stories will be as different as can be, I can guarantee.
Gonna use this one in place of my WIP Wednesday even though I do have some writing in the cooker (not super happy with that quite yet), as I don't usually post art WIPs on here. Tags and sketches under cut!
I was not super happy with the initial sketch I had going on 'cause I popped that one out at 12am purely to get the idea out of my head, but then decided to redraw it with better perspective in the morning - which is how I landed on the one I got now.
From the get-go, the plan was to portray Wulfharth in the same vein as Skyrim's ash spawn, given that he is supposed to be a blighted ash monster at this point in history. However, that also meant that I would have to give him some kind of internal glow for contrast, and I knew I wouldn't be able to pull that off while keeping the image as dark as I wanted, so I decided to disembowel him and give him some glowing snake-intestines instead :)
The texturing was probably the hardest part to figure out, since the texturing would mean I'd have to add a lot of fine details and hatching that could be VERY easy to mess up, so I pre-sketched much of it with a pencil using images of burnt wood and charcoal as reference.
And with all the inking applied, and some blending with a tissue to smooth over the sharper lines, this was what I ended up with before throwing it into an image editor for refining :)
Thank you to @kookaburra1701, @mareenavee, @chiqita, and @sulphuricgrin for tagging me last week <3
Forwarding to @spicyraeman, @skyrim-forever, @ego-osbourne, @gilgamish, @theropoda, @arimabari, @truth-01001001-liar, @cookbookbutch and whoever else hasn't seen this yet!

"Almalexia defies simple analysis. I doubt she could even describe herself accurately ..."
"To understand Almalexia, you must first understand the value of fiction. Vivec fancies himself the poet, but in truth, Ayem is the greater storyteller ..."
"As I said, we are, all of us, bound by our nature. Almalexia does what she does because she cannot do otherwise. It will not end well. But then, even the best endings rarely bring joy."
(*) In this image, Almalexia, already distraught in her divinity, cuts open her own navel, denying her connection with all mortals. She believes that she is an immortal goddess.

Inaffri in native Malabal Tor styled armor for @lambasi !!
character belongs to @/lambasi, please don't use or repost without explicit permission.
Coincidentally one of my main bosmer OCs is also from Malabal Tor so I love imagining how different tribes/bosmer from the area have things in common with their styles >:3 Thank you for letting me draw her ^^
