I love making prequel stories to my stories that have very little impact on the main plot or any plot in general

#rat rambles #oc posting #Im revisiting some of my other stalien ocs that I ended up scrapping from the main story and making historical figures instead #and they are really fun to think abt from a worldbuilding perspective but thats basically all their story is its just worldbuilding djebkdh #well ok there is character drama and stuff but even that is just more emotional worldbuilding basically djxkusnhs #but yeah it basically follows these two staliens traveling around to contact some folk to provide them with materials for their projects #those projects being centered around updating a lot of severly outdated parts of their healthcare system #they have acomplished a lot (in fact theyre the ones who designed the current robotic arms used) #but they are fugatives from the law also so finding people willing to provide them with resources is very hard #they are also trying to research any medical anomalies they can find as to hopefully educate the public more on how to treat them #and as a side goal they really want to find another pair of twins like them since twins are incredibly rare for staliens and they rly wanna #know what causes that kind of thing and how it effects the genetics of the two staliens since the idea of two staliens sharing near exact #same genes is basically unheard of since siblings arent rly a thing outside of twins #the two are names beetle and bugs btw theyre fun to think abt #they also invented prostetic horns for those born without horns or for those with broken horns but those never rly stuck in the public eye #theyre the main characters but rn Im mainly thinking abt one of the people they visit during the story #her name is glory and she's interesting to think abt because her side of things digs a lot more into the social politics of stalien culture #she also is one of the like. only staliens in history to keep animals and shes the primary provider of most of the twins chemical supply #eternal gales

is there anything redeeming abt the companions or anyone in them or do you not like them at all?

ehhhhhhggghhhhhhhhhnnnnhnhhnhnnhnhhhhhhhhhnhnhhnhnhnnhhnnhnhhnhnhnnhhnnhnhhnhhnhnnhnhhnhnhhnhnhnhnhhhhnhhhhhhhhhnnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well i think being a werewolf is fun

just from a lore perspective tho theyre basically a bunch of LARPers worshipping some ancient mass murderer, which is the fucking elephant in the room since thats never like. actually addressed and most of the plot is “ahh we’re werewolfs so cool” “ahhh actually werewolfs bad i want sovengarde” and youre just supposed to like. accept that the only mercenary-ish guild worships a dude who committed genocide basically. 

which like, yeah its okay to have a shitty group with bad morals, it would be weak worldbuilding if there WASNT anything like that but they dont give you any options? which is just laziness at best and really an alarming trend in skyrim’s writing specifically (alongside the treatment of the forsworn, falmer, the fact that the civil war questline is a thing, etc)

idk. i dont really like any of them. i thought vilkas or farkas (dont remember dont care) was really funny when hes like “oh what? theres spiders in here?” *fucks off* but thats about it. i DO like the quest where aela and skjor go a little rogue, turn you into a werewolf, take you on a blood hunt for the silver hand and then skjor fucking DIES that ones pretty fun but otherwise yeah, no. 

really wish there was a silver hand option to the questline, where like theyre all about combatting this group of werewolves, and maybe theres some issues with them too where theyre overzealous and bordering on bandits but at least it would have some variety. maybe at the end of the questline they could establish themselves more as mercenaries.
