Oriinthel

Hi everyone. I know I’ve been super absent lately, and I’ve been dropping a lot of threads or otherwise going much slower than I would like. Unfortunately this is due to the fact that I’ve been kinda really unhappy lately in my rp (mostly due to my own writing and characterization) and really stressed in real life.

I feel like I’ve hit a wall on Ori, and due to recent events she is in much need of a revamping. Thus I have decided to send her back to square one, and essentially redo her arc. I also plan to work on her personality a bit, so I can solidify her character.

Additionally, I will be moving her and Norrim to a multimuse blog, where I will add a few more of my muses.

Hi, I think I’m gonna be on hiatus for a little bit. Things just aren’t going well right now. I thought they were doing better but… I guess not. 

Not sure how long this hiatus is gonna be. Could be a few days, but probably longer. If I have an active thread with you, I will respond to it when I’m back from hiatus.

Olmir-jo: a second era muse, a smuggler and alchemist/ poisoner

.

Next is Sontna Duure. If her name sounds familiar, it’s because you read Norrim’s profile page :3 she’s a first through third era muse.

.

Last is Xan, a Bright Throat necromantic healer. Second through fourth era, though rather lich-ish by Skyrim.

this is a TES focused fandom blog that i made mostly for fun and dumping interesting/funny/thought-provoking or otherwise good fan-content for the series but people in fan-communities need to take stands against our fellow fans who perpetuate bigotry

so here is my message: if you are a racist in any way, if you decry BLM as “violent rioters”, if you support police, if you defend police and the american anti-black institutions, if you harass people for supporting BLM or any other similar organization that campaigns for human and civil rights even if you harass game companies online over delaying releases because of protests:

I Am Not An Ally To You

what is happening now is change in action. if you care about activism, and you should, you know that blm deserves to be seen, their voices to be heard.

pride matters, and we should still celebrate, still fight, still demand our place in the world. but black and indigenous people need our support right now. cops are not our friends. oppression is never okay. privilege is never comfortable. if you are white or non-black, refuse to let support for blm die down.

this pride, let’s fight for each other. demand spaces for lgbtq people of colour. let their voices be heard. listen.

It’d seemed like a simple enough task at the time: drop off a letter at his door, leave in the middle of the night so she wouldn’t have to say anything about it, or watch her grandpibble’s heart break when he read the letter... discovered her intent to leave the college. Temporarily. But now that she found herself at the door, standing in front of it with Talasse on the other side, she felt less sure of herself. Wouldn’t it be worse if he woke up to find her missing? What if he didn’t see the letter? But still, she didn’t want to tell him out loud. That felt too final. Too confrontational.

He watched her with the detached yet intense interest of a hawk eyeing a mouse.  His eyes were wide and unblinking, but his intention was hidden in the misplaced expression.  Talasse was not a bird of prey watching some unaware creature and judging if he could catch it and eat it.  He was a concerned man.  Concerned for his grand niece and for his students.  But she would not answer him.  She had never been open with him, and perhaps she wasn’t the one to ask, but she had been there, and he had had some sense of her unease by his door.  

When he spoke, his voice was true to his nature.  Genuine.  Melodic.  Curious.  Benign.  His head canted sharply and slightly.  “Why are you avoiding my question?”  The tea was likely ready, but he made no move for it.  “Oriinthel..?”  His hands came together, fingers knitting, between his knees.  “Are you afraid of my judgement?  Are you…”  His face shifted from the bird like curiosity to a softened sadness.  “Afraid of me..?”

Talasse hesitated in contemplation before leaning back.  “I suppose if the answer is yes to either of those, you would still answer no.  I cannot imagine being in your position.  Learning that one of your professors is first a daedra and then connected to your family.  I’ve never been able to navigate social channels.”

He paused briefly to pour the tea before sitting and trying to catch her gaze.  “I do not know if anyone has ever said this to you, Oriinthel, but you are never obligated to love someone.  Love is not something you can owe.  It is only ever a choice.  Regardless of that, I do choose to love you, and I will support you in your endeavors.  I am sorry for asking you such a delicate question in such a cumbersome way.  You are free to go.  You have always been free to go.”

Ori drew in a sharp breath, and her head shot up, meeting his gaze for the first time that evening. “I’m not afraid of you! I’m not.” She swallowed and after another, more bracing breath, she pulled out the crumpled letter and set it on the table, then pushed it a little closer to him. “I love you. You’re my family. And I didn’t want to disappoint you.” 

She glanced back down, short nails now picking at the sleeves of her shirt. “Doing magic... being a good student... becoming a good mage like you, or Revus... it’s more important than the dragon... things overall. But right now, things are just. And I just. I didn’t want to hurt you. If I leave, I’ll be a quitter. And I’ll be putting this dragonborn business over my healing studies.”
