Soo i might end up homeless. I can't afford rent because of the price of electric shot up because of a cold January. I rent a bedroom in some student apartments (im not a student, but they accepted me anyways). My car doesn't have heat, and I live in Michigan. I can do art commissions, i just need help. This is my caard:

Exactly!
It's always a little awkward when people see my obsession with TES and then assume that I'm going to like whatever fantasy franchise they recommend to me just as much.
Because, you know, my favorite elements of TES are the ones it DOESN'T have in common with most other media products in the genre.

boethiah and almalexia if they were strangely sapphic or something
Look at these darlings!!! There's an even littler one!!!! Need more scribs!!
hi :3
Good news is rare and precious these days
So I'm hoping to do art commissions. I'm not the best at "selling myself," as people say, but I'm not terrible at drawing. I can do digital and traditional, but my traditional is almost always greyscale/black and white with line work, stippling, and detail. Digital can definitely be done in color! I am open to drawing OCs, fan characters, favorite characters, and the like. I'm not experienced in anthro art, but I can certainly attempt. I'd say I can do Busts and 3/4ths body for $45-50 (depending on digital or traditional, the extra $5 for shipping purposes if you wanted the original piece, if traditional). $75-80 for full body, but no background ($90-$95 if a colored traditional). And $100-120 for full body plus background (the extra $20 goes to complexity or a full color traditional). I will do a $10 fee for NSFW images (no minors/cub or anything illegal). I can do cash app, Venmo, and PayPal
I've included some examples of my work, the two that aren't a part of the wizard/dino pic are my personal OCs

I love vivec sm when you ask them why dagoth ur is winning i can’t help but read this part with ultimate sass

By the gods that's amazing!

There's bugs everywhere!
made some morrowind tweets + text posts ♡
so we all know that the 36 Lessons of Vivec is considered Vivec's confession- and apology. But what I think yall are sleeping on is the Fables of Almalexia, both the Homilies and the Fables for morning, afternoon, and evening.
Each story in the four books written by Almalexia ends with a moral or lesson, and it is not uncommon for one of the Tribunal to feature in the stories as well. While a few lessons are based on real world fables (such as the Boiled Kagouti or the Gifted Guar), many of the others had lessons that directly related to the flaws and stories of the Tribunal. I think these fables that likely every dunmer child who went to temple heard, were all confessions of their own, and warnings just the same as the 36 Lessons.
Obviously, I don't care about all of these, you can read them yourself and come to your own conclusions, (hell, even synthesize them with some of the 36 Lessons, that would be fascinating for me to read) but I do want to talk about a few of them.
"Sotha Sil and the Scribs" has the moral "And so Sotha Sil discovered that the idle amusements of one may be the solemn tortures of another.", and looking on Sil's character in The Elder Scrolls: Online it is obvious that he sees mortals- even his own disciples- as somewhat lesser than him. And as a god, this belief is not wholly undeserved. Sotha Sil is significantly more powerful, older, and in many quantifiable ways *better* than the mortals he rules, that's just in the territory of being a god. But when the mortals- the scribs, in the fable- suffer, Sil is at best distant and apathetic, seeing suffering as not only not his responsibility, but also inevitable. Luciana Pullo's diary shows us a lot of what this looks like from the perspective of a mortal, even a powerful, interesting mortal that Sil obviously respects.
in "The Tallest Shroom Beetle", a beetle ""ascends"" by climbing, and is killed by a cliff racer. The moral here is stated to be "forsaking one's nature brings nothing but ruin." which would read as terribly hypocritical if taken at face value. The Tribunal, who were once mortals, warning others not to forsake their natures, to me more likely shows regret than hypocrisy.
In "The Friendly Alit" the lesson we are to learn is that "that which we hate in ourselves is often our greatest gift". Sotha Sil is the easiest to compare this to when we see his relationship with time- more on that later. I have thoughts on Almalexia that cannot be summed in a tumblr post about childrens fables, but believe me when I say I've been thinking about her. Despite this, I don't have an answer for what Almalexia might hate most about herself- she is the member of the Tribunal that we know basically nothing about before she becomes a god, her backstory being swallowed by her marriage to Nerevar. She is basically shown as having no weaknesses, and her actions are difficult to interpret even at face value.
Certainly related is the idea of Almalexia or one of the other Tribunal admitting their flaws (it is worth noting that in the Homilies, Almalexia is directly cited as the author, whereas in the Fables for Morning, Afternoon, and Evening, there is no author given. We have *assumed* that these were written by Almalexia, I mean, her name is on the cover, but it is only listed as a group of fables.)
in "The Crow and the Netch" the moral is "none can change their own weakness". Once again I think this is related to the hindsight we see in "The Friendly Alit", which seems to suggest that, if we are to seriously consider these fables, they might show the regret of the Tribunal. Each sees themself as weak in their own way, and even after sacrificing everything to destroy that weakness, they are still the same.
Related, in "The Child of the Councilor", the lesson learned is "We often forget to be thankful for what we have, when thinking only of what we want."
Many of the Homilies can be seen as confessions of regret, hindsight regarding limitations, and most importantly, flaws. I will probably end up writing an essay on this when i get around to it because I'm really normal
Post-canon Vivec be upon ye!
Some headcanons: •He had a few potions prepared just in case so he doesn't really age for now and won't get infected with some serious illness.
•Was absolutely mentally wrecked from losing his divinity (as if the return of his old friend that he had murdered wasn't enough) but surprisingly it helped him deal with some other mental problems in the end.
•Travels Tamriel with Sotha Sil (yes I couldn't just put up with his death), who is now a big dwemer-ish quadruped mecha thanks to the Clockwork City and his past experiments. Sil's soul is the same but his body is now very different, although he doesn't seem to mind. Vivec doesn't mind as well, using Sil as transport :D
•Smokes a hookah or a pipe 24/7, the only reason he didn't damage his voice yet is probably Azura not wanting him to screech like a cliff racer cuz Vivi definitely isn't giving up singing under no circumstances.
•Made up an insane backstory for himself and Sotha Sil, pretends to be one of those heroes who once were prisoners, tells everyone he found mecha-Sil in a dwemer ruin and managed to repair him.
•Shows off for a living. Sings, tells stories (mostly made up and about himself), occasionally sells trinkets.
•Avoids sleep until passing out, has bad dreams quite often and blames Sharmat on it (it's just consequences of his tough life). Additionally doesn't really like staying tet-a-tet with his thoughts for long.
•He and Sotha Sil try their best to care for each other, although Vivi doesn't always understand what a big mecha might need and often doesn't let Sil know about how he feels cuz he's too proud and cool to be sad or scared. But they slowly open up more to each other. Overall they get along really well.
•Used to be quite skinny as a god but it's chubby Vivi era now.
Hell yeah! Fargoth! A fellow Bosmer!
@tes-summer-fest Day 4: Thief/Enamoured: I think you're a thief because you stole my heart!

I plan to do either a long hexagon or I'll try to round off the top. In the middle, I'm going to try to embroider a tree of life. It'll either end up a tree or some branches. I'd love for however it turns to be!
I've always kinda found altmer fashion lacking in game(s) bc with their magically advanced society and always warm colorful spring islands they would definitely not dress the same as nords basically
1. Layered dresses for more casual wear and cooler weather
2. Fancier dresses for hotter sunny days
3. Mage robes that have more oldie morrowind vibe and dont suck
Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.
Elder Scrolls AND Kamelot?!?!? Two of my favorite things!
