back from the dead with a dwemer headcanon

weird-ass and probably 100% non-canon take:

kagrenac wasn't a name, it was a title. likewise dumac and radac.

someone smarter and into the elder scrolls for longer has probably made this guess before me, so i'm reviving it

So Bethesda's been a stinky whirlwind of bad, Larian ascended, and sometimes therapy is a roguelite. Did I miss anything important?

#am game dork #skyrim modding hell #baldur's gate 3 hell #yes i keep up with news about gow:norse saga #the plot fascinated me #bethesda why just...why

why does mikhail keep making awesome mods?

#skyrim mods #it is a mystery #i live again

[nirnroot-brownies]

i rise from the grave

because Mihail made something terrifying (again)

of course we needed more angry zombies in Skyrim. of course we did.

#snow elf bs for all #falmer #the ice holds many secrets

My stomach is full of turkey and my head is full of Skyrim.  Thus, I present a completely mad idea for your consideration:

Could at least one, possibly more, of the Reachfolk clans be Falmer-blooded? 

#loud nirnroot brownies #thinking too much #snow elf shenanigans #reach shenanigans...? #the geography checks out

skyrim modding shenanigans:

that beautiful moment when you’re playing a snow elf and some rando enemy goes SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS

and next thing you know you crit kill them

it’s the very best way of going ‘NO, IT FUCKING DOESN’T!’

#skyrim modding glory #snow elf shenanigans #skyrim does not in fact belong to the nords

Inspired fully by this post, this work of poetry roughly translates to: “Bare breasts are the rallying cry to universal peace”. What this says about the Falmer’s approach to nudity is, according to Alobentus the Heterosexual, “anyone’s guess”.

#it also says something about their cold tolerance #also hi folks i rise from my grave #so this means they're good to wear the skimpy armors i guess #if they were so inclined #also lol at alobentius the heterosexual

Welp my Priestess of Mara ficlet found its way to the anti-choicers and transphobes so here's the usual reminder that trans women are women, all abortion is moral, and bodily autonomy is an inalienable human right.

Die mad about it.

*GRUMPY WHEEZE*

> be me > have rotten luck finding an Amulet of Mara on playthroughs where I almost pick up Kaidan as a follower > “i’m going on a wild solo adventure this time NO ONE STOP ME” > Embershard Mine?  Amulet of Mara.  Right there in the locked chest.

"So let there be no way back.  From that temptation I sunder us.”

Guess who finished Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker recently?  Yep, I’m dyin’ from feels and I felt the urge to recreate a certain character in Skyrim as a result.  It ain’t perfect, but somehow, I think she’d be okay with that.

Is she a Nord in-game?  Yes.  And for spoileriffic/planned playthrough reasons, it’s fitting.

tfw you stare at your current save game, sigh, and decide you want something else for a while instead, so you go make another dragonborn 

this is why i’ve never completed a playthrough!!

#Skyrim #skyrim woes in general #-35% fire resistance can get pretty painful tho #sometimes you just need a break #or was it -25%? either way it still hurt

[nirnroot-brownies]

meanwhile, i got sucked into the fishing dlc storyline way too easily

one of the fishing bounties involves getting a little kid a goldfish. did i do this? *yes*

#in their off time the dragonborn can be a total sweetie #this is an option

[nirnroot-brownies]

this is the same baby whose first reaction to a big beard Nord was to snap at him, ugduin, she’s probably fine!!

welp

random attack by miraak cultists in riverwood, news at elephant

annie’s confused and annoyed because this sure was a thing that happened and they almost killed alvor

also i guess @ungalove‘s orcdad and fam are getting another letter when this happens, to the tune of “hey all, does the name ‘miraak’ mean anything to you?  because he just started something i’m gonna do my best to end.”

#i used console commands to bring him back though #so shhhh #he's alive okay #he just got ko'd #dragonborn dlc is happening soon i guess #but yeah you don't near-kill one of annie's tolerated nords and get away with it

[nirnroot-brownies]

also, these are my thoughts on how this may have happened, they are up for debate and change:

guard/join the skyrim expedition, they said

it will be fun or at least profitable, they said

suddenly, kid in a rock who bared her tiny teefies at the first especially bearded Nord who tried to talk to her

at some point ugduin's gonna get one whole dragon scale in the mail along with annie's "got to skyrim, dragons are happening" note, i just thought it would be funny if this happened :>

Ugduin, packing his stuff and shoving bread into his bag: Wives, I’m moving, baby has dragons to kill

#am i warm #is this a good start #she confused but she got the spirit

[nirnroot-brownies]

oh lord I forgot about the whole ‘suddenly, MANY moms’ thing this adoption might entail

she loves them all of course, but she still wonders what happened to birf mom because It Is A Mystery :Ta

#adoptive family is good for annie's mental health #trauma is less but a mystery is still a mystery

[nirnroot-brownies]

when you send a whole dragon scale through the post with your letter to prove to your dad that no, you’re not drunk or on the skooma, this actually happened

#ansethe #orc dad is +1 dragon scale #it'll make a nice plate maybe?? #skyrim behind the scenes shenanigans #enjoy your weird mail ugduin
