I love the Skyrim sexyman battle sm bc everyone has come to the conclusion Serana and Cicero should be besties instead of fighting

But let me tell you my game is bugged tf out and I'm stuck w Serana as a follower, and every now and again Cicero and Serana just randomly start attacking eachother for no fucking reason. You have not lived until and you have to tight off all the guards single handedly by urself bc ur two followers start dukin it out in the Whiterun Waffle House parking lot

So no they're not besties. They're SIBLINGS

I hope that in the dark brotherhood sanctuary of the next elder scrolls game there’s like a big statue of Cicero and if you ask anybody about it they’re like “oh yes! The keeper Cicero! The brave assassin who single-handedly saved the dark brotherhood from total destruction. He is my biggest hero.” And it has become tradition that in order to be the keeper you have to be shorter than 5’3” and the official uniform for the job is a jester costume. And then there’s like maybe one vague mention of the Dragonborn-listener in a book somewhere.

I think that would be so funny and piss off so many people

Cicero

The Fool of Hearts - before he was the fool…

My interpretation of a young, pre-keeper Cicero.

[cicerosfavouritelistener]

I am so fuckin pathetic for the fictional jester I cannot marry

#Listener's Commands #Jalewife #I live life and every time I even contemplate Cicero instantly in my head pops up Farquaad with the #“The Listener has fallen in love with the Keeper!” #I'M SORRY I HAVE A PROBLEM #i've got two body pillows of him #well technically one #the 2nd is otw

Just for the Night

His voiced echoed throughout the sanctuary. How? She would never know. But she hurried for him. The blood on the floor wasn’t not a good sign. She prayed to Sithis that he would be ok. Alive by the time she got there.

She didn’t blame him for hiding in the furthest reach of the sanctuary. He didn’t know who Astrid would send. It explained why the guardians attacked her. She was the listener, but Cicero had likely told them to kill on sight. Possibly without a second thought that she would be sent.

She wasn’t there when he snapped. But she heard all she needed. How dare Astrid speak of the Night Mother in such a way? Especially around Cicero? She did not blame him for trying to hurt Astrid. She could only be thankful she was sent.

It took time, and Cicero’s teasing is what kept hope alive that he would be ok. At least he had not lost consciousness.

The second chain she pulled lead down a hallway. No ghost or trap. So she ran. Her steps echoing on the stone floor.

“And now we come to the end of our play. The grande finale!” Relief rushed over her as she pushed the door open. He was still alive. But seeing how he laid on the floor made it disappear.

His coughing was corse and wet, blood spewing from his mouth to the ground. He was shivering and wrapped up into himself. She rushed to him.

“You caught me! I surrender! Ha ha ha ha.” He was joking, he’d knew she wouldn’t kill him. Instead, she took him into her arms. One just around his shoulders and the other around his waist. He was pulled into her lap so she could better see his wounds.

His jester hat had slipped off in the process, leading him completely visible. His eyes traced her face. The concern and thought in her eyes amusing to him. Only because he couldn’t remember the last time eyes had shown any kind of love for him. Even as a friend. But as a lover?

He reached a hand up, and though it was bloody, he still cupped her cheek. “Dear listener, thank you for caring about poor Cicero.”

His voice was just as wet and raspy as his cough. Blood dribbling down his chin and to his shirt, but he cared not. He only wanted to stare into her eyes. “Oh Cicero, you don’t have to thank me. But please, hold still. This might hurt.”

Her hand glowed a brilliant gold and shimmered like a million gems falling onto each other. For a brief moment, he felt warm. A rush of pure energy that made him want to leap up and kiss her. But a second later, he felt the wound begin to close. He writhed in pain but her hand that held him steady, began stroking his hair.

He then remember he needed to be still. If not to be healed quicker, but to make this easier for his dear Listener. She had plenty to do for their dear Mother. But she had come to heal him. He didn’t realize his eyes were closed, but he opened them. His eyes met hers and slowly but surely, he was regaining his health.

Her fingers still massaged his scalp. It helped him ignore the ache from his wound. His eyes stayed on her as she focused on her healing spell.

Once the chiming of her spell stopped, he knew he would be ok. But why wouldn’t he be? He trusted his dear Listener with his heart. He was finally able to sit up, but once he did, she had collapsed onto the floor. She hadn’t hit hard but he still clambered over her.

“Listener? Listener are you okay?” He hadn’t meant to, but the blood that was still in his mouth had dripped onto her. Granted, she had a bloody handprint across her face.

“Yes. I’m sorry Cicero. Just takes a lot out of me to heal for so long. I didn’t want to risk-“

“Oh Listener you never have to apologize to Cicero.” He had hushed her. His finger over her lips as he laid next to her. He pulled her into his arms and placed a bloodied kiss to her nose. “I am always in your debt dear Listener.”

She smiled and rested herself into his hold. She never considered him in her debt. But always as her love. She would protect him with her life and she knew that he would do the same. If not because she was the Listener, but because she was his love.

Astrid would have to wait. She opted to rest with Cicero. Just for the night.

the more i look at oblivions db questline the more i get sad about skyrims db questline

its a bit rehashed at the start but the ending of the questline (talking about after you finish everything) couldve been so much more than it actually is. like the dark brotherhood initiates are just soulless creatures, would it have been too hard to make some individual npcs for the end? yknow for the whole "building up the family/organization again" thing

or perhaps i couldve been able to name some characters speakers, restoring the old ways of the brotherhood, the whole four fingers and a thumb thing :(

#theres no npcs currently that i would faithfully name speaker #but if the initiates were individual npcs maybe i couldve named one of the worthy ones speaker #i wouldnt name babette speaker #maybe nazir? but i really dont know about that #i would name cicero speaker bc hes silly but idk if i could even do that since hes the keeper #can i name shadowmere speaker. please #i wouldve named festus and gabriella speaker. yknow if they LIVED. UNFORTUNATELY NOT #tes #tes v #the elder scrolls #skyrim #dark brotherhood

Emerald Mayflower: I have been stabbed.

Cicero: Who has stabbed the poor, sweet Listener?

Emerald: Gosh, I don’t know. He was crazy.

Cicero: . . .

Emerald: Have you been sleep walking again?

Cicero: No-

ummmm skyrim oc talkin on main but. had a half-formed shower thought the other day about hiisi being in a grieving process for the person he knows he used to be (i.e. the young khajiit who could have grown up normally had his parents not died in an accident and had he not been taken in by an uncaring imperial merchant) and being stuck in the Anger stage of grief for a lot of his character arc

#my HOPE is that even though he's hard pressed to fully heal he starts reaching acceptance by the end of It All #even if years down the line as listener he's possibly. well. ill-fated #that's a WHILE away though #Also something about him unwittingly latching into cicero bc cicero is in a similar position re: having gone insane in cheydinhal #and losing parts of himself that were intact/coherent prior to becoming keeper #and now neither of them really being able to go back both have to move forward in some way so they figure why not do so together. Sighs #anyway hi how's it going #hiisi

I gave Cicero his journals back. It seemed like the right thing to do.

[hyrmamoras]

i know the common fan interpretation is that cicero has some oedipus-esque relationship with the night mother but tbh if u look at his dialogue and listen to the way he talks and read his journals it rlly just sounds like he hates her. like he deeply wants to be loyal to the brotherhood and do his duties as keeper but he despises it

Cicero

I’m not super happy with this one but you can have him anyway, Cicero always needs more artwork.

Once again I’m messing around with art styles
