I mostly post about Elder Scrolls with a focus on ESO but sometimes throw in other stuff for flavour. This usually includes Critical Role, Baldur's Gate, Destiny, cool art I like, and probably others once in a while. I occasionally post nsfw art & fic that will be tagged #yans after dark (currently moving that to a sideblog)

My ESO OCs:
Dralvayn "Drals" Arano (he/him; later she/her)
Dunmer // Arcanist
My cranky old wizard. To the Horrors I've Known and Loved is his story, where he gets put through the horrors and learns the power of friendship.
He's gay/demisexual but he doesn't discover that until partway through the fic, and even then he has a ways to go before he allows himself nice things. He becomes hopelessly infatuated with Azandar, and later on has a bit of a thing with Zerith-var. He starts out kind of an asshole but he will get better. Probably. He's my little chew toy :)
also somewhere down the line after the main fic that egg will crack and she will become a beautiful woman <3

Asha-ammu Kaushad (they/she)
Dunmer (Ashlander) // Nightblade // Vampire
Asha is my precious little princess who I would die for. Like Winter is sort of a character study, following the progression of their relationship with Donobhan, and told from his point of view.
They're nonbinary & transfem, and very shy and a little awkward. They love fungi & dwemer architecture.
(tag)
Donobhan Ravenfriend (he/him)
Reachman // Warden
Don is my sweet boy. He was originally of the Spiritblood clan but left when he couldn't go through with the Vateshran's Rites. He loves nature and has a lot of wisdom about the ways of the world & life & death but is also kind of an orange cat and sometimes his head is empty. His best friend is his guardian wolf, Calahan.
(tag)
Sadryn Favel (he/him?)
Dunmer // Warden // Werewolf
Sadryn is a hot bisexual mess whose favourite pastime is being a public nuisance. He's like 22 and will never die. He has a twin sister, Serysi, who belongs to @tilliphont. She's a grumpy butch and the two of them would die for each other but will probably kill each other first before that happens. The two of them were born to a Telvanni family that expected a lot from them and they ran away from that bad situation at some point. They also have a pet bear named Sujamma.
If he stopped for longer than 2 seconds to look inwards he would probably have a weird gender but alas he is going 5000mph and has a substance abuse problem so we may never know. He's got a big ol crush on Ember but she thinks he's stinky.
(tag)
Auredil (he/him)
Altmer // Templar // Vestige
Auredil is my canon Vestige and gay disaster. A Variation of the Truth is sort of a tragedy that alternates between his point of view (past) and Lindir's point of view (present). Auredil was once a captain in Queen Ayrenn's navy (First Auridon Marines) where he fell in love with Prince Naemon and he and Kinlady Estre became good friends. After the events of Auridon, Naemon shuts Auredil out which drives him to make a pact with Meridia while in a bad mental state, thus being granted his Templar abilities and the rest of the main quest being set in motion.
(tag)
Lilanwe (she/her)
Altmer // Necromancer
Lily is trans & a lesbian and could be a villain if she was just like 12% more evil. But instead she chose to be niceys and is just kind of a little morally dubious sometimes.
She was once a promising mage and scholar who, after her brother Auredil's disappearance, fell in with the wrong crowd and turned to necromancy and the Worm Cult. They meet again on opposite sides of the conflict, and Auredil convinces her to leave the cult behind and help him fix everything. She has a penchant for being headstrong and righteous, and after the Planemeld and Auredil's (supposed) death, she goes on a revenge quest to eradicate the remains of the Worm Cult. As a treat.
(tag)
Coralantar (he/they)
Maormer // Sorcerer
Coral was a powerful storm witch who joined up with the Sea Vipers when he was young and wanted to get away from Pyandonea, but quickly recognised the atrocities the raiders were committing. After meeting Auredil in Khenarthi's Roost, he turns on the Vipers from the shadows and eventually works with the Eyes of the Queen as a spy. The Desert is a Memory of the Ocean is sort of an unfinished sequel/spinoff of Auredil's fic, in which Coralantar and @tilliphont's Galen find themselves lost in Elsweyr in the aftermath of defeating Molag Bal and have to work together to piece together what happened.

The Gaze, watercolours on cold-pressed paper (2026)
Bathed in gentle morning light, with his head pillowed in his arms, Do'vassha laid his gaze upon his still sleeping lover. Still slumbering when I'm just about done getting ready for the day, hmm, he thought, a light, affectionate chuff escaping him. Not for the first time, he found himself wishing those soft, quiet moments they shared could linger on a little longer, granting them a little more time. But he knew it would not stop for them; time would not stop for anyone. One day, they would be old and aching and their memories would fail them. So he watched. He watched and hoped to sear the image in his mind so that, in a lifetime, he could recall it.
A late ArtFight revenge for @strigoium, featuring her Khajiit character Do'vassha. She drew a looping animation of my S'hodantuh last year, and I keep going back to look at it. This painting is my thanks!
Pensées, the flowers he has in his hair, mean "thinking of you" in the language of flowers.
I haven't done any creative writing in a little while, and English isn't my first language, so bear with me!
Process shots and rambling under read more.
Sketching... As usual, I posed in front a mirror to serve as a reference.
Final sketch, scanned. I do all my sketching with a Rotring criterium (can't tell you which model, I have no idea. I've had this criterium for 15 years or so and none of the models on the website seem to be it) with 0.5 mm HB pencil leads.
I transposed the lineart on a sheet of Montval 300 mg watercolour cold-pressed paper (I don't have a light table so I just use my computer screen... aha). I lined with watercolours using my Witch Hat Atelier dip pen! The trick is to dilute the pigments quite a lot, so the paint does go down the reservoir, and to apply layers. The watercolours also fix some of the pencil underneath! I erased the excess and then started with underpainting with raw sienna.
And then, I'm very sorry, I pulled a "draw the rest of the fucking owl". I just locked in and forgot to take process shots.
The fur was painted using raw sienna, raw umber and sepia, more or less mixed together or simply layered upon one another. I also added ivory black for the darkest parts, alongside a light wash to desaturate the fur to fit Do'vassha's colors. Then, it was a lot of painting individual strands of fur. It might seem boring to you, but it's actually one of my favorite parts! I love short-haired animals for that, aha.
All the blue is turquoise; the gold is raw sienna.
And then, I just finished the painting (shaded the tunic, reworked the lineart. I think some charm got a little lost on the arms; I could have re-added fur textures where they got erased from the layers, and I used too much ivory black in my mix for lineart fur on the arms. Oh well! Mistakes are bound to happen when you overwork your watercolours.
In the end, I'm still quite happy with the result! I especially like the expression I gave him. I hope you'll all like it! If you've read this far (thank you!), a reblog would always be appreciated!
i rly enjoy these lines so i wanted to draw something simple/fun for them skfkkdsfjsdgh. like i Knowww they're technically about lyris and sai and not the vestige, but with the right emphasis a fun double meaning can be applied 👀

I do think people should be more into giving their blorbos and ocs more fucked up teeth like, crooked, missing, gap teeth, higher or protruding canines, broken and chipped teeth, like i am SOOOO tired of seeing all these characters with veneer perfect pearly whites!!!!!!!
ough one thing I just realised is the divide between Sharp finding elden root comforting bc it was the first place he found after losing his memories vs. it being probably the most traumatic place for auredil to revisit due to everything that happened with naemon and then being killed there
Just a full offense reminder that I don't tolerate fence-sitting for childhood nostalgia over a certain wizard franchise here. Not when real lives are on the line. If autistic people who once had hyperfixations on these books and movies can drop it in support of human rights, you have no excuse.

COMPANIONS RANKED BY LIKELIHOOD TO FALL INTO CROWN CRATE GAMBLING ADDICTION
Ember. Is stealing your credit card to pay for them. Canonically does steal the Vestige's wallet
Azandar. Very easily falls into addiction, but thinks he's too smart for that (he is not)
Zerith, but in a "these people haven't been exposed to old world diseases yet" way. He doesn't have the immune system to resist
Tanlorin. Morally against it but oo shiny...
Bastian. Partakes but places hard limits on spending, like buying a weekly lottery ticket
Isobel. Should be immune but does get lured by shinies and sweets. She can actually drop it whenever she wants and doesn't want much
Mirri. Her treasure hunting family history makes her pretty immune herself, seeing the consequences firsthand and judges others for it
Sharp. Utterly immune. Built different. Got a radiant apex in a free crown crate once, told everyone skill issue, and refuses to use it in game because it's too flashy.
