#this is one of the internets that truly made me actually laugh aloud for an extended period #i'm so happy to see it again :')

[varlaisvea]

well now i don't know what to think

So is the name of your archnemesis just being your name in reverse a coincidence?

Well, he is M'aiq's evil doppelganger. So, no, it is not a coincidence.

Did You Know: Wortcraft is the practice of discovering alchemical properties by eating ingredients? It requires "grinding it against the teeth, which occasionally releases its simplest essence and results in a fleeting effect on the eater".

#more like vorecraft

If I was in the elder scrolls universe I'd either get cancelled or cause a political incident by frequently and inadvertently offending Alfiq Khajiit by saying things like "aw little guy!" to like these grown ass merchants and bankers and such

#show some goddamn respect for clan mother tadali #my favorite thing about eso khajiit is when you meet a male NPC who is really cool #if he has a big enough role you will eventually meet a woman who will tell you what a loser he is. often his mom #this should happen with every cool guy character ever.

Okay we gotta decide something.

#‘did you hear? a wyvern attacked helgen!’ grow up #me the wyvernborn learning wyvern shouts after defeating the wyvern priests #can you believe it? wyverns in your own homeland #it’s a dragon and you’re a nerd #pronouncing gif like the brand of peanut butter ass

#thank you for adding ‘only eso is canon’. I don’t actually believe that but i believe it enough to select it on this poll for the numbers #only eso is canon in the streets #everything is canon in the sheets

Happy 10th birthday to my main, Quest Completer! The Vestige, the Hero of Coldharbour, Savior of Tamriel and Nirn, The Soulless, Moon-Hallowed, High King's Arrow, Eye of the Queen, Ahkatuz, Champion of dozens of dignitaries, deities, and political factions, and of course, Grand Master Crafter! Here she is with the senche-tiger she got for being old.

All of my characters have silly names like this, but unlike Quest Completer, the rest of them all have lore-appropriate 'real' names in my mind. The rest of them are people with fleshed-out backstories and reasons why they became Heroes. But QC is just The Vestige, the one without a soul (or a personality to speak of) and no memory of the past. The Vestige asks a ton of dumbass questions, such as "what does a queen do, exactly?", and in my mind this is because, while saving all of existence is a mundane occurrence to them, they are forever figuring out how to exist in a totally unfamiliar world while also being among the most powerful people in its history.

Because of that, and because the Vestige's dialogue contains very little emotion or humor, in my mind QC is basically No Fun and allows herself little ostentation. Even her whimsy, she takes deadly seriously, like she always has a great costume for themed dungeon runs, but she's lowkey competitive about having the best fit. She's a dual-wielding stamina-based Aedric Spear Templar DPS—about as basic as it gets, but she doesn't care about that; it's a very effective way to do a lot of violence, you have to admit. Despite her litany of accomplishments, she enjoys simple pleasures, like moving furniture around 1 centimeter at a time, learning crafting recipes, and running around fields looking for things to harvest. This woman and Bastian Hallix are bffs for a reason.

I overhauled her look for the occasion. Here she is new armor goofin:

And after 10 years I finally convinced her to get all dolled up for something other than a dungeon.

ESO was my first MMO; I liked Skyrim (my first open-world RPG) so much that I bought a computer just to play ESO when it came out. QC was the first character I made, when I had no idea what a 'build' was. She is maxed out in every crafting skill and weapon skill line, and every morph of all of her Class skills. QC made it to Veteran Rank 16 before the Champion system was introduced. She is only just now doing the Craglorn quests because she reached the end of Cadwell's Silver and Cadwell's Gold (both required to advance) over a year before One Tamriel, and I didn't know anyone else playing ESO, so I couldn't access group content. QC is old enough to remember when it was a bizarre occurrence to see another player outside of a city (or at all at night, in the Pacific timezone). She's also old enough to remember picking up literally every single quest she came upon because there just weren't that many quests to do. She truly is the Quest Completer.

QC and I learned how the fuck video games work together. Here's to another 10 years!

Gold Road will add gates that connect the West Weald to Craglorn and Reaper's March. This means that it will finally be possible to walk from the western to the eastern coast of mainland Tamriel without fast traveling (as Cyrodiil is impassable).

#FINALLY #no seriously i've tried it i'm a huge loser and i don't like fun in my video games #yaaaas

this is a sentence from my wip:

"We offer prayers to Sithis, but more as an avatar for the larger Padomaic concept of change than any one interpretation of the nature of Sithis."

nothing about this is outside of canon. i'm going to shove myself and my oc in a locker. lmao i hate the elder scrolls 😂

#by hate i mean love #this guy gets it *points at vivec* #tesblr
