DIBELLA ❤
I don’t play skyrim to kill dragons and marry farkas.
I play skyrim to sell my souls to every god and daedric prince in the nine realms, thereby forcing the powers of the universe to go to custody court over me, only to go live with my aunt that give me wine if I leave her alone while she watches interview with a vampire (Nocturnal) and my uncle that’s been wandering around the woods for six months with his dog (Hircine) AND marry farkas.

Look I'm just enough of an Elder Scrolls lorehead to make this connection but not enough to form like, a cohesive theory.
I am so, so, SO fascinated by the thing with moths relating to the Scrolls. Because the Elder Scrolls are fragments of creation, the written word of the Divines (or maybe just Magnus) in the most literal sense. The 'code' of the universe, if you want to be cheeky, or at least the divine debug menu.
And as per the Moth Priests, the only way for an ordinary person to read an Elder Scroll is through a ritual involving the Ancestor Moths. And according to some generic dialogue in Morrowind, the Moth Priests (or at least, some sects dedicated to the Scrolls) have a sort of loose association with Julianos. Y'know, god of magic and language, it fits enough, right?
... But the moth isn't Julianos' totem animal. His is an owl.
The moth is Dibella's totem.
I'm so fucking obsessed with this. The Elder Scrolls, unbelievably powerful artifacts that even the immortal Dragons are terrified of, having an unspoken association with a deity that usually gets reduced to sex jokes. Like, Dibella is the goddess of, yes, sex and passion, but also art and beauty. What exactly is being implied by this connection? What hides in this secret sphere of her influence? Do you think her priestesses know, and that's why they're so secretive? This adds a whole new layer to Dibella as a deity, but I'm just not sure what. Given that "Tamriel" literally translates as "Dawn's Beauty," there's not a snowball's chance this is an accident.
I wish I had anything more profound to say on it, but sadly I'm not a super turbo ultra lorehead with a whole lot of time to dissect esoteric lore sources.

This is one of the pieces I made during the art courses (Which explains why I had to dress Dram even funnier and why this place is unrecognisable), thanks to my mentor Anna Terskova and @smkndfbb who did, like, 90% of the shading (🤫).
